Hi all,
First time on the forum. I have a question. It can be summed up as "Is Destiny 2 Still Worth Getting Into?", but more detail is below.
So, some backstory. I got the free version of D2 on PS4 the other day, and have been enjoying myself. However, I have been made aware that much of the F2P content was vaulted last year or so, and I have noticed more and more paywalls for missions and such (forcing me to buy the expansions to play
various campaigns).
I don't have PS PLUS (equivalent to Xbox Gold) as most of my friends play PC and I just end up playing free cross-platform games like SplitGate or Apex. I will eventually get D2 on PC as I am getting a new one in about six months or so (removing the need for a subscription), but none of my friends play D2 anyways. I understand that with the app you can easily join fireteams to do strikes and such, so the first part to my question: is playing with random people fun, or does a lot of the enjoyment come from playing with your buds?
Second, obviously, Bungie dropped the ball when it comes to removing loads of content. The DLCs are still quite expensive ($100 CAD), but is there enough content (and fun enough content) to justify the high price? And on the flip side, is there a lot of content still in the F2P campaigns (I think the only F2P left is the cosmodrome and (maybe I think) Nessus?)? Or is it super small, forcing you to get DLC to actually progress/play anything?
Third, reading the (albeit a small amount) of the takes from players, people seem pretty down in the dumps about D2 in general at the moment. Ignoring the fact that it was better before, is the game still fun now? Or does it feel like a husk of a game once great?
Therefore, my overarching question is this: is this game still enjoyable, and worth the $100 DLC price? Or does it feel lifeless now, compounded by the fact that I won't be playing with friends?
(Yes I get everything is subjective; I'm just looking for opinions lol)
Thanks
