Just look what they did to bring the hype, bringing back cayde just to send it off for that "letting go" lesson

If it was as brilliant as the Bungie Defense League make out, they wouldn't be able to pull themselves from it to come on this forum to defend it. It is the grand finale of a ten year project, so initial sales were bound to be high. However, the first two weeks literally filled this forum with angry and disappointed players because of an embarrassing launch and misleadingly advertised content. Strangely enough, this uneasy feeling within the Destiny community has never been brought to light, and only positive aspects have been reported by a large majority of streamers, who work hand in hand with Bungie, so no surprise there. There is propaganda from both sides about facts and figures regarding sales and player numbers, but over the last 2 weeks, there have been far more negative upvotes on here than positive, and that is irrefutable.

It's about a 7-8/10 realistically. The 10/10s are all glazing and due to people being so upset with how bad Lightfall was and how cutscene/narrative heavy TFS campaign was. While the cutscenes were awesome, the gameplay itself was pretty weak, far too linear, and had way too much empty time spent traveling from area to area. The part in the divide where you go up the snow mountain forever while fighting a handful of trash mobs was probably the most boring campaign mission I've ever experienced in a game. The Witness boss fight, Raid, and Pale Heart were all pretty solid, though to me Pale Heart isn't the Dreadnought or Dreaming City in terms of secrets/exploration. The episode is just a re-named season and the activity is pretty boring so far. Overall we're just in a honeymoon phase where people are just happy Bungie gave them cutscenes and nostalgia with the last mission. In a few weeks it will be back to normal Destiny 2.

It's good but not as good as Forsaken and Taken King. Prismatic and some weapons are fun. The story was told in cutscenes and parts of it made little sense. The rest of the campaign was the same run here and do stuff, this time with raid mechanics. That final speech from Zavala where nobody said "Hang on, he was going to run out on us an hour ago. And he got his Ghost killed. Clown" and yet characters not seen for ages rocked up and then disappeared right after. Ikora getting emotionally incontinent, again. Yawn. And the Witness at the final battle waving his arms around was just, well it made me laugh. He's the ultimate bad guy in the universe .. "I can slice things into fragments with the mere flick of a finger don't you know but hey, this time I'll just stand here and let them shoot me". The end of a ten year saga went out not with a bang but a whimper. Cayde was the highlight and Savathun as well, their voice actors deserve every penny. The woman who does Savathun is just brilliant. Nathan Fillion just as good as he ever was at playing Cayde. The rest of it is a lot of grind and very little content that is genuinely new. 18 missions, the same one three times, over three characters to get your subclasses, aspects and grenades, the fragment hunts were occassionally interesting but mostly the same run here time fillers we've seen before. Same as Micah's quests where we were sent back into old content for the McGuffin that's always at the end. Overthrows are the same type of three levels and then kill the boss we have seen many times before. Cysts are just bigger lost sectors and it just feels like Bungie engineered every part of this to get you to spend time in game. The class item mission I am told is fun and a mate wants to run it so we'll see. Personally it's yet another uneccessary hoop jumping exercise that sums up Final Shape. Getting it is the content, once you have it there is nothing new to do with it. It smacks of Bunge trying to be clever, most of the time that's aiming way too high. Seasonal activity is dull. This week it's scan these, do a strike, now a seasonal thing. Now go do some activities and bounties on Nessus. Wow, pushing those boundaries right out there. And this is their storytelling. Last week's message was the robot and his boyfriend telling us about their relationship. Yawn. Giant who cares. What I don't get is that the lore cards and the exotic descriptions are excellently written, yet we get this two dimensional guff as a story. I'll give it a couple of weeks before the diehards start getting restless.

I quit halfway through the last season. Went on to other games. Got caught up in the excitement of a new season. Bought this one. And only 3 or 4 days in, I regret it.

I laugh at anyone who thinks Final Shape is GOTY worthy.

Didn't read the thread beyond the title & none of the input. No need. Literally, the entire world around you sans 32 upvotes in this cesspool is giving rave reviews. Score - Approval 1.25M....upvote supporters 32. You represent a fringe fraction far below 1/100th of 1%..... .....and you're still spouting after you lost the war? I mean...you do realize how this looks, yes? By definition - delusional behavior. I realize you're never going to stop but..... Honestly, I'm lovin' every minute of this futility. Almost nobody on the planet agrees with you. Perspective.

You’re in the minority with your absurd 6/10 review. Most reviews are 9 or 10 out of 10. The player peak each week winds up being around 1.5 million players. User reviews are extremely high as well. It will be in the running for game of the year and will win several awards this year. When it does I’d like to see the bashers and the chronically miserable show up to eat their crow. If this expansion is let down you won’t be happy with anything the game will ever do. Maybe it’s time for you to move onto new gaming horizons.

[quote]CAMPAIGN Campaign isn't that good, maybe better than Lightfall, even though it was completely predictable and filled with mostly cut scenes and monologue.[/quote] It was definitely on par with Witch Queen and Taken King. [quote]PRISMATIC I find it to be under-whelming. I don't even use transcendence. The concept is cool, but overall I feel it is nothing more than a novelty.[/quote] Let me guess you only played Titan? Because on Warlock and Hunter it's the best subclass. [quote]EXOTICS/WEAPONS/ARMOR Pretty solid, even though I don't really have any plans to actually use any of it.[/quote] Then you are doing something wrong. Euphony and Still Hunt are the best dps exotics in the whole game. Hazardous Propulsion and Speakers Sight are top tier armor pieces. And the class items make some of the best builds we ever had. [quote]RAID Haven't played it, because I don't do Raids. Not worth the time investment in my opinion.[/quote] If you don't play the Raid you should make a review on the whole DLC. The raid has been the best part of every single D1 and D2 DLC. And Salvations Edge is arguably the best bungie has ever made. [quote]I think Bungie/Destiny is dead.[/quote] Destiny 2 has been in the Top 10 of most played games over the last years. It's more likely they do another 10 years than shutting down in the near future 😂

So you judged the whole final shape expansion off 2 weeks? Lol Also: they already got your money, so that sucks for you lol
