Destiny 2 is Bad - A Long Post From a Long Time Veteran Player

[b]**This is a sub account that I started for D2. My main account psn is Kyllap. For those wondering. [/b] I've been doing some thinking on this whole playing through Destiny 2, and I have to admit that I don't like this game. I feel that it is a shell of what we had with TTK and RoI, up until the last stretch of D1. Let me say that I have played through D2 on 2 characters (both solo and with a team), I have a large clan, I've done all the activities in the game (including flawless trials and the raid), every strike, etc etc. I'm not 'salty' about this or that. I simply think this game isn't what I thought it was and I am hugely disappointed. Let me list some things I don't like and describe why I don't like them. - 4v4 Crucible. When this was announced I thought, 'eh whatever. It'll be interesting and fun.' And it was fun...for a week. And then I started to miss having 6 people in chat in a fireteam dropping supers and capping zones and talking shit. With this 4v4 only, there are only...4 players....lol... It's just a shell of what it was. Just team shooting. Sure you can pull off some plays here and there, but in the end it's just bad. - Enhanced Aim Assist. Is there any skill left in Destiny? Does it even require skill? Take your crosshairs and hover over an enemy and watch what happened when another enemy crosses your path... The gun literally follows them for feet. Yes there was AA in D1, but this feels like Skylanders. - Actual Content. This has been an issue in Destiny since Destiny was Destiny. And it's STILL an issue. The story spans four planets, but is bland and forgettable. The missions don't scale in difficulty with a fireteam so you just blow right through them. I had to play it again solo just to somewhat enjoy it. Which is laughable in a game that promotes group play and clans and teamwork. Then once you get it done there is zero reason to do Lost Sectors and Adventures unless you care about story simply for the story. Which would be ok, but again there are zero rewards. Why wouldn't they incorporate every single one of these side things into quests, or into the story line? In fact where is the quest tab at all?? Nowhere. Because there are like 4 total quests to give you a MIDA and some other bullshit you'll never use. A MIDA?? From year 1 of Destiny?? Jesus man. I don't get it. - Subclasses. The same three. I need not say more. - Trials of MIDA Multi Tool..... Let me say that I actually enjoy 4v4 Trials. I like the Nine concept and I do think the gear and weapons look cool. I even like the horse at the end. What I HATE is that Bungie has created a meta of multi tools in ONE WEEK. If you use anything other than a MIDA and a Uriel's you're out gunned. So everyone uses that and that's it. In one week. And now the endless 'balance' patches begin which will send you on a goose chase for weapons you dismantled long ago because they sucked ass but now they're op! Same old bullshit. - Graphics. Can you believe this?! I'm complaining about the graphics in Destiny. But I'm not talking about the world designs, particle effects, or skyboxes. No. I'm referring to character models, armor, and shaders. They all look like garbage. Not because the design is bad, but because they have sacrificed character detail to enhance the world. And while I liked it at first, after a while you just want your guardian to look cool, right? But in no way is the same appeal there that D1 had. Everything aside from like 4 shaders looks bland and boring. Emotes are all boring and recycled. The rendering of our guardians is jus bland and honestly kinda fuzzy. - The Raid. To absolute HELL with this raid. It's worse than Kings Fall. I actually enjoyed KF with a good team. But this. This is garbage. Far too many annoying mechanics. Too involved engagements. Checkpoints which need to be obtained again??! Yes I know that opening the door is easy but why must I do that every time or walk some stupid maze? This raid has no replay ability factor for me. I have lead and guided many players through D1 raids many times. I loved it. This raid makes me want to trade in the game. I hate it. The end. *- Thought I would add that running out of ammo DURING a firefight is absolutely ridiculous. And it happens so frequently. I've said on several occasions to my team that I'm just out of ammo.... I will end with this: Bungie told everyone on stage that they wanted to unlock the fun of Destiny. They wanted to make it accessible to a larger audience. They wanted people to experience the raids. Well I can tell you for sure that no one is in the slightest interested in using Guided Games for this raid, or anything like it. I wouldn't even use GG for this week's Nightfall, which is again super annoying and damn near impossible for a majority of players. It's the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. Let's make a super casual game and then throw The Leviathan at everyone along with a NF like this.... Gooood job Bungie. Ok I'm done.

    4v4 crucible is better than 6v6 in the same way that 4v4 Halo was better than Halo Social Slayer 6v6 You guys HATED the idea of 4v4 from the start before it was even implemented so nothing was going to change your minds anyway Shoot most of the people saying 4v4 sucks are the same people who have hated on Destinys pvp from day 1. You guys hate no matter what Just a bunch of whiners

      • Agree with a lot of what you says here except for the part about the raid. I hated the raid when I started it. I thought it was terrible garbage. Now its one of my favorites. Why is that? Because me and my group got much better at it and we now clear it in almost no time. The problem wasnt with the raid, it was with us. You seem like a good player so I hate to say this sort of thing, but if you're not enjoying the raid (for the reasons stated) its probably because you're not executing the raid properly. The mechanics aren't "involved" when you can do them in your sleep and checkpoints dont matter when you clear the whole thing in 2 hours. I hate to be that guy but the solution to your complaints is to simply get good. Not saying that will make you suddenly love the raid (the loot is still pretty bad), but what you're complaining about aren't problems with the raid its problems that are a result of you not properly executing the raid. Thats on you.

      • What is wrong with you people RAIDS ARE SUPPOSED TO TAKE ALONG AND BE HARD this imo is what a raid should have been from the start very hard when it's your first or second time but when you get the hang of the mechanics you can get this raid done faster then WoTM sure we probably could of had another boss but other then that I think this raid was amazing you can't go onto LFG expecting to get carried you have to actually do something

      • I'm haven't done everything there is to see and do so I can't complain, but I see your point. It'll probably get a lot better with age. It almost seems that they have a strat to pull us in slowly because they know based on the last game we'll all be here for the ride awhile.

        The 4v4 thing always cracks me up. You fools clearly never played Halo Slayer back in the day. Unless it was big team battle, guess what? 4v4. Also the only people that really have a big issue with the way Crucible is now are those that preferred to be lone wolf in objective based games (meaning control, supremacy, rift, etc.) and are now mad that they can no longer say their dick is bigger than yours when comparing K/D ratio. At least until some third party site breaks the stats down and then we will have assholes talking about ELO again. The aim assist is not NEARLY as bad as it was in D1. Yes your gun will track an enemy (AI at least) if it crosses you path. But it is not nearly as sever as it was in D1. As a matter of fact I am having to relearn how to land crit shots on most enemy AIs because, even with a damned scout rifle, they don't register like they did in D1. In all honestly I shouldn't even take you seriously if you are complaining about the campaign. What the -blam!- did you want? A Final Fantasy game? The story of D2 is at least triple the size of vanilla D1 and ten times better than vanilla combined with House of Wolves and The Darkness Below. Destiny 1 didn't get a GOOD story line until The Taken King came out. Again, you are bitching just for the sake of it. Right. Same subclasses. Guess what buttercup? This isn't the FINAL game. Plenty of more to come down the road. Take some xanax and trying waiting to see what is to come. The MIDA thing is laughable. If you are a true veteran player then you know for a FACT that Crucible has always gone through a phase with specific weapons. Including MIDA, Thorn, shoguns and sliding, snipers, sidearms and sitckies and lets not forget the good 'ol Suros Regime. You either get good or get left behind. It is what I have been told many times and it holds true to this day. The only reason people are bitching about the graphics is because PC is getting the higher resolution and FPS. Otherwise if you can't see the graphical improvements from the first game you are clearly just looking to bitch for the sake of it. I haven't done the raid yet, but I will. Thankfully I don't care about being one of the first people to figure it out. I am perfectly fine waiting until good strategies are figured out first. Maybe you should do the same. Oh, provided his b.net user name is the same as his Gamertag then [b][url=https://www.wastedondestiny.com/search/alien_x_human]this is accurate[/url][/b]. The OP has only played 10 total hours of Destiny 1.

        • The problem is, this game is exactly what I thought it was going to be, and what I thought it'd be was a sub par game that does the mere minimum in trying to make this a noteworthy sequel. Instead they did the continuation of D1 Y2+ system which is where Destiny ultimately went wrong.

          While I disagree with most of what you say (I'm actually really enjoying the game) I do agree with you on the aim assist point. A perfect example of over active aim assist is trying to shoot those explosive barrels. I'm fighting with my controller to try and shoot those things because every time I move my sights over the barrels some enemy drags the cursor away. Just dial it down a bit and it'll be fine.

          • Honestly for me the fun factor is still there, is it mind blowing nope but mehhh. 4v4 is boring to me since I'm so used to the whole chaotic scene you know battlefield, over watch etc. Main issue : it's the lack of customization, lack of diversity for -blam!- sick who's idea was It to have fix rolls in the game it's honestly a game breaker for me. I feel like legendaries gives you a better options since you still can tweak a few perks here and there. Two primaries nuff said lol I just can't used to it. To be frank it's better for pvp but pve it's a drag tho strikes are about longer and more boring don't get me started on this week nightfall

            I agree with some of what you wrote, but I disagree with a lot of it, too. Instead of writing a page length post addressing everything, I will comment on a few points. -- 4v4 Crucible. I much prefer it to D1 6v6 Crucible with its endless grenade spam and supers. After playing 15,000 matches in D1 I have had enough of 6v6. -- Leviathan raid. It is total crap. The majority of gamers are struggling with this trash activity for little reward. After WOTM Bungie should know well enough to put an occasional exotic and legendary weapons in chests. Instead, they took several huge steps backward. I will never play this raid because it is nothing more than a frustrating waste of time. -- Nightfall and Guided Games. Both are heading in the direction of failure. I was surprised when I played the Nightfall yesterday and found it more difficult than the Nightfall last week. Guided Games was doomed even before it became available. In fairness to Bungie, we can give them some time to make adjustments. But if they take 2 or 3 months as they have done in the past, interest in D2 will die soon. They better make changes immediately, because just two weeks into this game the community is clearly upset.

            • I keep seeing the trend of people liking KF much more then the new raid for mechanics, but KF took hardly any team work, coordination, callouts. People want more difficult content then whine that it's too difficult.
