I hope Destiny 2 is a little more "open world"

I took this screenshot, and it has me thinking. Zelda has the "If you see it, you can go there." motto, I don't want D2 to be like that, I just want patrols to be more fulfilling than just doing bounties and public events. Bungie did an amazing job with the landscape and draw distances, it's a shame we don't get to fully explore them. Destiny is a shared world shooter/MMO hybrid, whatever, but it's so limited. They dropped last gen, so there's more power to do more in the game, I just hope they put it to good use. The way D1 is ending is how I think D2 should begin, with more openness. I can't express that enough. Even with all the nerfs, complaints, exclusive content, etc. Destiny at its core is a great game. Bungie is a talented developer and they nailed the mechanics and gunplay to a T. I hope they don't scrap what they've built and ruined the formula. I don't care what platform people play on, we're all part of the Destiny community and as a community need to push Bungie to make D2 the best it can be. Destiny, as it is now, is because we as a community asked for it, and Bungie listened. They delivered albeit bad timing. I honestly think Age of Triumph is a great send off to Destiny 1. I hope Bungie takes that and makes it the heart of Destiny 2, with an actual story of course. Some people won't agree with me and that's fine, we're all entitled to our own opinions. EDIT: Surprisingly everybody agrees with this thread. I know Destiny 2 is practically finished, but a game like this would be so much more immersive. Thanks for the positive feedback, everyone. EDIT: Almost 300 upvotes and 200 comments. I don't care about trending, but it's nice to see a positive thread be on top for a change. Thank you to everyone who kept console wars out of the discussion. Thank you for being civil and proving that the community isn't full of salt.

    [quote]Zelda has the "If you see it, you can go there." motto[/quote] I'm going to guess you're not an Alpha, Beta, Day one player. This is not a bad thing but, it does mean that you missed the initial promise and I guess what turned out to be one of the first lies that Bungie told about Destiny. It was 100% supposed to be exactly that i.e. an "if you see it you can go there" open world environment on patrols. Don't take my word for it though just google and watch the original Alpha footage and reveal walkthroughs by Bungie themselves no less. No-one who lived through that is ready to believe for a second anything Bungie say about what D2 will be. Some will fall for the hype or be drawn in by the frankly toxic streaming community that's grown up around D1 and Trials and who will undoubtedly be the first invited to any D2 gameplay events. The rest of us will play the wait and see game. Buying D2 day one, no matter what "pre-order bonus' are promised is a no no for me. Also, although I alpha'ed on PS4 and Beta'ed on there too. I played properly on XBox one and already Bungie are starting to create PS4 exclusive bonus content with Sony. This means that, unless the XBox price is lower as a result. I'm actually going to wait until D2 hits a bargain bucket so I don't feel ripped off. Heck XBox still doesn't have Jade Rabbit! Or all the strikes!
