A disappointing non-sequel

So many issues I can't even figure out just where to begin. I'm starting to feel the same way I did back in year 1 of vanilla Destiny: nothing much else to do once you've done all you can do. And it caused me to stop playing for almost a whole year. 1.) Adventures are pointless now for all three of my characters. No loot drops that are worth anything. Same with lost sectors and reputation tokens. I loathe PVP in this universe so it limits any end-game content. 2.) The story was terrible. Ghaul yammers on about being the destroyer of worlds? Ummm, I beat him with my Origin Story auto rifle and a couple of supers? Like, what? Speaking of story, you advertised "a world without light," and yet within 10 minutes I have my light back from a random shard from this still-unknown-entity Traveler? There was NO gameplay without my light. No depth or creativity about how to work with different tactics and maybe non-Guardian Hawthorne to do some missions as we seek out how to get our light back? I mean, WHAT A MISS!! How? How does this happen again? A safe, vanilla, letdown story...again. A basic question: how did I survive a several hundred foot fall from the Tower? If guardians were being murdered without their light, why did Ghaul not just rip off my head? Makes zero sense. Zero. 3.) Crucible is still imbalanced and stupid. Meta is still conditional on a single weapon or weapon type. Almost zero pulse rifles and grenade launchers. All auto rifles and Mida MT. Every class is squishy and if you don't run together everywhere on the map, you're dead in a couple shots. Grenades and melees are nerfed and pointless now. 4.) No new content or content types. This is not an evolution and so far NOT a sequel. This is an expansion pack. There are a few improvements, yes, but this is just more of the same. I'm a long time veteran, and I'm asking where has the game has gone? There are no new enemies, no explanations on key story elements, and the grimoire is STILL not in the game! Whyyyyy? This is not good. Not at all. But because it's a cash grab and you'd got a million or so players, my post will disappear or be subject to fanboy crying and slander (for which I will report anyone who takes my opinions and insults me; disagree all you want that's fine). 5.) People talk about how great this community is, but all I see is some of the worst human behavior in my life. I hear vulgar language, more racist comments and words being used (the "N" word is CONSTANTLY being used by childish and hate-filled players) and nothing is done about it. Nothing. I'm fortunate to be part of an awesome clan right now, but even still playing Destiny stresses me out because of the player base and the hateful attitudes I encounter. A good book and cup of coffee offers me a better use of my time. You're all about love and liberalism, Bungie, and yet your game is rife with hate. 6.) The raid is silly. I've already done it 4-5 times and I'm over it. No real good loot. A few tokens and maybe some glimmer in chests. And no dynamic perks means I don't care to grind when it doesn't matter! Static perks? Nothing to change? Once I have a weapon, it's the same weapon everyone else has that means nothing for my build. Oh, wait, I can apply a shader now to make it look different. Where are the god rolls? Where are the standout weapons? 7.) Mod system is pointless. Adds next to nothing meaningful. I could go on, but this is very disappointing. I'm still playing, but very little remains for me to feel enticed to put a lot of effort in. Nothing remains for me to grind for when I don't think there's anything valuable! My score if I were a reviewer would be a 5/10. This is average at best and I think reviewers are generally being dishonest out there if they give it anything above a 6. Sorry Bungie. Another miss, and I'll be more careful when D3 is announced.

  • Here's what absolutely bugs me the most. This company has ADMITTED to not knowing what they were doing during Destiny 1. They ADMITTED that the original engine they used to create Destiny 1 was too difficult to pump out content in a reasonable amount of time. They claimed they had obtained a new engine that would alleviate that mess. This was around the time Rise of Iron was getting stale. Fair... The programmer in me understands the logic in that reason... until Destiny 2 finally came out. Vanilla Destiny - Lackluster story Vanilla Destiny 2 - Lackluster story Vanilla Destiny - One social space Vanilla Destiny 2 - Two social spaces, one is UNUSED. Vanilla Destiny - One raid (and my god, what a great raid it was) Vanilla Destiny 2 - One raid (and my god, what a terrible raid it was) Vanilla Destiny - MULTIPLE PVP MODES THAT I CAN CHOOSE Vanilla Destiny 2 - 80% Supremacy, 15% Control, 5% Clash RANDOM QUICKPLAY and COMPETITIVE PLAY. Vanilla Destiny - Meaningful, and truly challenging nightfalls that required you and your low light fire team at light level 23 to go in together, and truly have a challenging experience against an Archon priest during Arc burn, got the blood rushing, and finally completed it and god some meaningful loot. AND the pressure of being sent back to orbit upon death was amazing. Truly gave you a reason to play it smart and safe. Vanilla Destiny 2 - You have 10 minutes... Go. -blam!- you. Vanilla Destiny - Wanna try a strike? Go to it in the planetary directory Vanilla Destiny 2 - Wanna try a strike? -blam!- you. 1 in 7 or so chance. :) Vanilla Destiny - Reskinned Armor & Guns x 100 Vanilla Destiny 2 - Reskinned Armor & Guns x 100 (New engine my balls). Vanilla Destiny - Very versatile subclasses, truly fun to build a class out Vanilla Destiny 2 - -blam!- you. One of two trees. :) Vanilla Destiny - AMMOOO -blam!-INNG SYNTHHSSS Vanilla Destiny - "Alright guys, guys Calus DPS phase." - "I'm out of effing ammo!" Vanilla Destiny - Fallen, Hive, Cabal, Vex Vanilla Destiny 2 - Fallen, Hive, Cabal, Vex, Taken (year 2 cookie cut) Vanilla Destiny - Various of the same legendary items making it worth grinding out an item. Vanilla Destiny 2 - Haha... need I even say. Vanilla Destiny - Four total worlds to enter. Vanilla Destiny - Four total worlds to enter........... ......... ........ So much more.. There's SOOOO much more. But I digress... Before anyone attacks me and says "Dude, the game just came out!? Chill!" - No... No excuses. the game came out in 2014.... There is no excuse for this. -blam!- you, Bungie. You got me again.
