I think they took a big step forward in story, but screwed up everywhere else. The loot system is great until you hit endgame content and then it's terrible. The decision to leave Crota, PoE and VoG behind, as well as all the strikes was borderline idiotic. The decision to remove elemental burns from primaries took away any reason I had for running HM and made the raid primaries useless. SBMM has taken what was already a shaky PvP at best and turned it into an impossible lag fest (they're working on this though). The constant nerfs have taken away any of the enjoyment I used to have from having weapons drop. Remember Ghorn and the reaction people had when it would drop? There isn't a gun in Destiny right now that gets anywhere near that reaction. Overall, I believe they shot themselves in the foot here and I wouldn't be surprised at all if we see very low sales for Destiny 2 as a result. That's just how I feel though.
