Content drought?! Or unrealistic player expectations?

I think the problem with Destiny 2 coincides with player expectation. I think most people coming from D1 were expecting an amount of content equal to 3 YEARS of D1 to be in D2. Which is an unrealistic expectation for a game that is basically a restart to the Destiny franchise. Everyone expected WAY TOO MUCH and when they didn't get it they played for awhile and left. I have no problem with the "content drought" we are supposedly in. Too me THIS IS EXPECTED. This is basically vanilla Destiny. Only better. A few changes to how things work would be okay with me. But the content "amount" seems about right for a NEW Vanilla launch. The only thing that wasn't supposed to be "vanilla" about this game is how the story was supposed to be canonically linked to D1. Other than that... this is a vanilla restart to Destiny. Just better. That is what I think. Thank you. This was my reply to the youtube video in the link above.

  • [quote]Other than that... this is a vanilla restart to Destiny. Just better. [/quote] You have a pretty weak definition of the term "better". No random perk rolls or strike-exclusive gear to add replayability. A hard raid that feels underwhelming because it doesn't actually grant any new gear like in the past. Persistent balancing problems. A PvP where you can't pick the mode you want to play... When you really break it down, Destiny 2 has taken MANY steps backwards from D1. D1 was Bungie's opportunity to learn from their mistakes and improve on the forumula so they can make a satisfying experience for the sequel. Instead, they dropped the ball. Very, very hard. It has nothing to do with entitlement. It has everything to do with customers having valid complaints about a flawed product.
