If you knew it since D1, then why did you buy D2?_?

Sooo right!

True. At least in D1 it was a learning experience, but it's obvious now that they still have no goddamn clue either what they're doing or what they want this game to be, constantly shifting like superheated molecules. And not only that, but the things people do have major issues with, they openly ignore and make halfassed excuses for in active defiance of their customers in favour of some bizarre, convoluted "vision" that completely changes from the day to day. I've never seen a developer so willing to alienate their customers for no good reason other than they just don't want to. Mediocre progression, copy paste horde mode activities, a plethora of either meager novelty or outright useless gear and exotics, no coherent handle on the overlying plotline of the game beyond "the Darkness is coming, blahblahblah", and an active disdain for the players that fund them. They're lucky they got a paycheck from that Chinese company, because all of this nonsense would've likely put them in a tight spot following the AP content by alienating everyone. But whatever, no water off my back if I just spend my money elsewhere. Better games and companies worth supporting. Currently looking forward to the Iceborne expansion for MHW, which has a COLOSSAL amount of stuff that is probably twice what Bungie has done for the same prices.

All the devs with talent left
