Last Word final quest step is extremely terrible, just like the rest of the quest

There’s this crappy new mechanic in the finalist last word quest step, ‘the conversation,’ where you have to ‘duel’ an enemy without the game telling you how. He’s just immune. So you get 1-shot by him a few times until you are forced to look it up. You need to shoot his hand as he aims with the last word. Then you kill a bunch of thrall + 2 knights. Then you face the boss + 1 clone (because why not) in another shitty ‘duel,’ where it’s also not clear which 1 to shoot 1st, so you die & wipe, restarting from the Beginning, dueling the boss the 1st time again, then kill the thrall & knights again, then dueling the 2. If you succeed, you need to kill more filler thrall then you face the boss + 2 clones. You have to shoot them in their hand in order very fast, & this is the most difficult part, because a lot of times either the aim assist interferes & makes you shoot the immune body (thus dying) or you shoot the hand, he’s stunned, but somehow he shoots you back, you’re 1-shot, & due to extremely shitty game design, you have to start all over, running the 1st duel, then adds & knights, then duel 2, then more filler adds, then duel the 3, & if for any reason you are killed, even if you win all duels, back to square 1. Rinse and repeat for over an hour. TL;DR this quest step is dumb. There should either be no filler adds or have a checkpoint after the 2nd duel. Also, either he shoots me or I shoot him, stop making this garbage where we shoot each other every time. It’s extremely poorly designed to artificially extend the play time. It’s a frustrating waste of time, just like the rest of the game. If one part is artificially difficult, then make players repeat, not all of the easy part just to get to the shitty 1. I succeeded eventually but this dumb waste of time quest step made me hate the game even more. 1/10 for this quest. If you’re stuck at the crucible step or just have the base game, don’t bother. Aside from the above, there are almost no voice dialogue or cutscenes whatsoever, & the ‘story’ is very shoddy & poorly-written. Most quest steps are random, boring, repetitive & uninspired, like ‘kill X enemies,’ ‘Run 15 lost sectors just because,’ ‘go to crucible because why not,’ etc. I can’t believe this is paywalled with the season pass, for a gun that we have already paid for in D1 no less. Such a scummy monetary design. This is proof that Bungie themselves are the problem with destiny, not Activision.

  • I like the concept of the last quest, but the execution was typical bungie terrible. Hit detection is bad and it was laggy. Definitely beat it a few times only to be killed by the last clone's shot 2 seconds after I killed him
