PSA: Destiny 2 is not Destiny 1 (so maybe wait and play it before bitching about it and trying to ruin it)

I'm posting this here because it's really depressing reading countless posts bitching about Destiny 2 when almost no one has actually played it yet. I just posted this reply elsewhere, repeating it here. [quote]I've tried to explain in countless posts that D2 is not D1. Yes, it's still very much Destiny, but it's also very much a new game and for everyone that keep judging it and shitting on it based off presumptions from D1 experiences with no actual idea what it is they're bitching about is not only pointless, it's detrimental to the new game. None of you are even giving the new systems a chance, you're just saying "oh it sucks" without any first-hand experience of what it is you're all trying to ruin before ever knowing what it is.[/quote] The new weapon system is different. I get that makes people apprehensive, but it was literally my favorite thing I experienced with D2. The updated subclasses take the ones we know and love and makes them fresh and exciting again, particularly with the new defensive/support abilities. The Cabal are not the Cabal we've fought the past 3 years. Anyone expecting the same phalanx walls is in for a shock. The Exotics from what I saw feel Exotic again. The game is beautiful. The levels are large. There are way more enemies on screen. The boss fights are dynamic and not D1 bullet sponges. And maybe you won't agree, maybe you'll hate some or all of it, but right now if you haven't played it, you don't know. So it's one thing to post apprehension, but the posts asking for change or proposing "compromise"... -blam!-. We've asked for 3 years for the game we all hope D2 can be, at least give it and the changes Bungie have made a -blam!-ing chance before ripping it apart.

  • [quote]The new weapon system is different. I get that makes people apprehensive, but it was literally my favorite thing I experienced with D2.[/quote] The new weapon system limits player choice and makes PvE even more of a slog than it already is. [quote]The updated subclasses take the ones we know and love and makes them fresh and exciting again, particularly with the new defensive/support abilities.[/quote] The "updated" subclasses are just watered down versions of the originals, just like the "new" subclasses are little more than combinations of different aspects of the originals. [quote]The Cabal are not the Cabal we've fought the past 3 years. Anyone expecting the same phalanx walls is in for a shock.[/quote] The new Cabal are just re-skinned versions of the originals with a handful of new abilities, and will only appeal to people who thought the Taken were a unique idea. [quote]The Exotics from what I saw feel Exotic again.[/quote] The exotics shown are weak, with poor base stats and incredibly situational exotic perks. [quote]The boss fights are dynamic and not D1 bullet sponges.[/quote] The strike boss was a generic bullet sponge. [quote]right now if you haven't played it, you don't know.[/quote] This is nonsense. I don't need to test the new weapon system to know that having to pick between a sniper rifle and a rocket launcher instead of being able to have both will limit my versatility. I don't need to play the game to see that the original subclasses are watered down or that Dawnblade is just a mashup of Sunsinger and Sunbreaker, the videos I've watched speak for themselves. In fact, I don't need to play to understand [b]anything[/b]. Everything I've written above has already been shown, so why you're trying to convince people not to be critical is beyond me.
