I can't believe you are comparing that shell of a game to destiny. I got on the hype train for NMS and I can honestly say I played it for 30 mins and never played it again. Say what you want but destiny has always been one of the best looking games out there.

Wow. You're kidding me, right? This has to be a joke. NMS was one of the biggest blunders ever in gaming. I gave it a fair chance. I fired it up when I heard about the big updates, but I was still unimpressed. You think Destiny has recycled content? NMS has more recycled content than of D1 and D2 combined. Say what you want about Destiny's content, but it has always been the top of the charts when it comes to graphics, musical score, and gunplay.

Destiny is shit mate. Know what I expected from the Destiny franchise based on what was advertised to me? I expected a fun, cooperative and competitive looter shooter packed with quality content that kept me coming back day after day. What did we get with both Destiny releases? A hollow ass shell of a game that meets the bare minimum of what was advertised. Destiny 2 was an even worse contender since the focus on loot was pretty much dropped making differentiation almost impossible. All that Destiny has going for it is good looks. That doesn't make the franchise any less shallow. What did I expect from No Man's Sky? I didn't expect anything less than a procedurely generated universe for me to openly explore. I didn't expect polished combat systems or any crazy deep lore to scratch for. Just a universe that can be freely and openly explored. And repetition in No Man's Sky? There's repetition in anything that's procedurally generated. Let me tell you, I was disappointed too in No Man's Sky's release. Hello Game's developers, however, have been working their asses off to make it a better experience. Coming soon is going to be multiplayer functionality where you can cooperatively help others or ruin their day by killing them. That sounds a whole hell of a lot cooler than organizing a team of 9 people for Escalation Protocol for 2 blues and a token.

That's fine. I love a good debate. I'll have to answer all your questions when I get off work tonight. As for why I come to the Destiny forums still, I'm part of the Bungie community. Not the Destiny community. I happen to see a few Destiny posts on my way into the gaming forums or off-topic forums. Sometimes I stop in to say something about the game if a post catches my eye. Other times when I have absolutely nothing better to do and I'm shitting or on a break at work, I'll come in here for my own entertainment.

My question is, if you hate destiny so much, why are you even on the forums? Hell, why would you buy destiny 2? Why waste your time? What is the point of being involved in a community which you don't like? I wouldn't go onto any forums for Hello Games and waste my time. Escalation protocol is an [b][u]ENDGAME[/u][/b] activity. You wouldn't try to do a LL380 raid at 350. You would get stomped in a heartbeat. If you try to go in underleveled, of course you're going to need 9 people. EP was designed to be done with max level fireteam of 3. Not 9 at 350. On the gear side, you must expect everything to be handed to you. Year 1 and 2 were my favorite in destiny because I had to work to get what I had. Getting a legendary was a lot more satisfying and if you got an exotic, it was a special thing. Now, we have legendary and exotics being handed out like candy, and you're complaining about gear? Not to mention comparing Destiny to No Man's Sky is a ridiculous comparison. There are in no way similar. One is a loot based shooter. The other is a crafting exploration game. I will recognize that No Man Sky does look good, but, again, you can't disagree that D2 has some of the best skyboxes in the industry. In the end, I think this all goes against the OP's wishes to lower the negativity.
