PvE is basically playing halo missions over and over and over. Fun the first time, boring the next 50,000 times trying to get the god rolls. There is so little variation in mechanics or gameplay, there isn’t a chance for any sort of excitement. It’s just the same crap over and over. PvP is an archaic version of “Team Deathmatch”. That’s it. It’s 2021 and the only game mode is “Team Deathmatch”. This is the company that made Halo, which brought some of the most entertaining objective modes to the forefront. Don’t be fooled by game modes like “survival” or “scorched” or “control” or “elimination”. It’s all just “kill enemy team x # of times first to win”. No objectives, no entertainment, just slightly different rules while playing “team deathmatch”. Gambit was a nice try. It just gets boring because it’s an isolated incident and it’s not in the open world. The division at least attempted to implement some form of PvEvP into an open world setting, and I found it truly fun (sure it was a bit lopsided if you had the right builds, but only pouty turds value 100% balance over entertainment). Patrol zones have so much potential, but they are simply empty, just an occasional asset dump for quest fodder and they’re not even entertaining quests. The side story design and quest design is pitiful from this team. Your core story of destiny is fine, but take a page from companies like CD Project Red or Bethesda when trying to design quests and side missions. There has to be some depth and character interaction, not some text on a screen timegated week to week. I am not immersed. Take the idea of gambit and thrust it into an open world setting like patrols, then we’ll talk. More opportunity for random chance encounters that provide more excitement and entertainment than isolated cage matches. I believe it is time to go back to the drawing board bungie. Sure, the average casual gamer might be swindled into the price tag thinking this game might be fun. But those of us who have delved deep into the bowels of this game understand that you have peaked, and we will get the same crap content for the rest of this game’s life span. There is a lot of talent and hard work put into making this game look flashy, but there is little effort put into understanding what a fun game actually is.
