Where is the option they are both average games?

D1 was better. Subclasses and the skill tree had more options and more combinations with armor pieces. It was more dark and mystic. Better strikes. I liked Poe better than Gambit. Maybe i liked it more because it was a new and fresh game?

[quote]Which is better and why? I’ll never forget the day Shaggy walked onto set and announced he had killed God. Edit: I will say I absolutely LOVE Gambit Prime and enjoy Destiny 2 PVP (I just despise the current Meta) but personally I enjoy Destiny 1’s content more I was very heavily invested in the guns and different strategies and combos for gear and exotics[/quote] D1. THE GLORIOUS SKILL TREES! Re-running raids meant something. heroic playlist WAS heroic. much better strikes. RNG drops that I was excited (not just a "world loot pool") exotic quests tied to bounty completion. hoard chests relevant drops from crucible. Prison of elders better modifiers. The Goddamn Gjallarhorn. The Dreadnaught. Trials of Osiris. Soundtrack for DLC/Expansions were better I felt much more immersed in content. Harder content. Relevant raid perks on raid armour Raid ornaments D2. The Dreaming City Pinnacle weapons (Struggling already) Intentionality in farming - prime weapons, forge weapons (D1 did have this though) New exotic weapons and armour which has changed builds Returning exotics for nostalgia (although the argument of paying for previous content speaks for itself) Conclusion - I understand that with D1 it had 3 years to change and grow and I understand D2 is a different game and only in Year 2, but they feel world's apart. At this point by making classes and grind much more streamline, the endgame feels like the triumph system, but if the only reward is a bit of purple writing only to be invalidated after another niche grind, what's the point? Your triumph score? A discount on a badge to say well done? Interesting weapons in D1 were awesome, grinding for the perfect roll, killing with it to level it (or use motes of light) was a far superior method of levelling and extending playtime without having to grind your balls off for cores, I have no issues with the core grind, but the motes process (or killing) was a much more effective route, Understandably some players didn't have the time for levelling and the basis of motes made levelling relevant weapons easier for them, by obtaining through gaining xp was a fair and easy way to do so, Big rant, but at this point sweeping changes should be made, especially with a result on a poll like this, make the game the community enjoys and you might see a resurgence in the player base

People only remember the highlights of d1 and don’t remember that for 99% of the games life there was no new content. They also don’t remember how bad most of the metas where at least in d2 most weapons are usable.

The numbers are in Destiny 1 by a huge majority I love it

They are both flawed experiences, but I prefer D1. Titans were much more versatile. Hunters could absolutely fly around the map. Warlocks with nothing manacles was unstoppable. Raids we're much better on the whole. Iron banner was worth doing. Strikes had a legit purpose. Night falls were awesome. There were amazing guns that felt powerful. I will say this, though: people do seem to have forgotten how terrible some of the D1 metas were in crucible. The current D2 shotgun meta is NOTHING compared to some of the D1 iterations (HoW blink shotgun anyone? Matador 64 with rangefinder?) Thorn Meta was horrible. Clever dragon meta was great if you had one with HCR, otherwise it was terrible. Remember the sidearm meta? I still have a twitch from Wormwood. So yes, D1 was a superior game as a package, but crucible has been garbage since HoW in my opinion.

Destiny 1. Primary weapons were more consistent and at the end special spamming was not viable anymore

I’d say D2, but that doesn’t mean I’m happy with the things it’s missing from D1 I’m hoping D3 rectifies these issues (we all know there’s gonna be a D3)
