Destiny 2 should be an install game to existing destiny(massive expansion)
Why would a second game benefit bungie? Why not do something original for consoles and create a massive game instead of small spin offs of the original? I personally would keep spending money on a game that progressively added an entire game worth of content instead of a brand new version of a game just with a new number infront of it. Eventually making the whole galaxy and most of earth playable and explorable. Would anyone agree with this? Would anyone like a console game fps that keeps growing like a pc mmorpg?
Update1: Seem like alot of people like this idea, but would you still be willing to pay the 60 for regular and 100-120 for ultimate/collector's editions of a expansion. Remember in what I am talking about is a full games worth of content. I would gladly pay that price to have an unrealistic experience, but would you?
Update 2: lots of people seem to like this idea so I think its time to address different issues people a coming up with.
1. All of the consoles have memory expansion or upgrade options which allow increased storage memory. Check your consoles support page
2. Previous gen ie ps3 and xbox 360 can't handle it. They can with reduced overal graphic settings whats currently employed for this game and any other that is on all 4 platforms. Obviously in a few years those consoles will be obsolete and players will naturally migrate to current gen consoles as support for last gen consoles disappear.
3. What about new players starting after a new "full size expansion" or FSE for short. Well currently my view on the matter is for there to be 2 options
1) allow the to purchase D1 digitally for a reduced price 20ish bucks and able to purchase FSE D2 later at regular price.
2) allow players to bundle the purchase FSE D2 with D1 and digital content for an additional price of 15-30 dollars. Bargain brains will love that.
Along with purchasing this new player/current players new characters would receive a exp boost of 2x degrading as the character gets closer to max lvl. This allows veterans and new comers alike to get from grinding and questing to being part of the action quickly with out diminishing the overall game.
4. Another big point someone brought to the table is upgrades to the overall game engine, mechanics, graphic, characters, and etc. You have to remember this is an install game its resident on your consoles hard drive. We are not playing on N64 any more. Your consoles are more or less a condensed PC. These changes can be made through massive patches and/or through the FSE installations or a combination of both . These capabilities have been employed throughout many MMOs lifespans.
I know there are grammar errors though out my post please remember I do this from my phone. Also we all know destiny 2 is on the disc so can do we get a cryptarch joke or 2.
Next update will consist of ideas for the expansions. Lets see if we can be heard.

2 RepliesI would much rather Bungie just continuously add on to Destiny rather than a completely new title. Firstly, if after a year and a half to two years, I have to start from scratch because accounts aren't transferable then I will be beyond pissed. That is a LOT of time to invest on a character(s) only to have to throw them to the side to start all over again. It would be much better and personally I think a lot more fun if players could just keep their original accounts and continue to build on them. I was under the impression Destiny would be similar to WoW and just continue releasing expansions to keep the game world growing constantly. Like you said, eventually have a huge galaxy at our disposal to explore that continuously grows over the course of the "10 year plan" for Destiny. They could even do a expansion that was a prologue to the original launch title where you could experience first hand, the arrival of the Traveler, Golden Age, and the collapse that inevitably leads us to the current story line. You could play as you're original character pre-death and it unlocks certain things in the current game world like Golden Age weapons and armor as well as tell the story of your Guardian. There are just so many stones left unturned that the thought of a entirely new game without getting answers in the original would be very disappointing.
