I’ve taken it upon myself to replay the entire Destiny campaign on a fresh character. Let’s compare D1 during ROI to D2’s current shadowkeep.
CAMPAIGN: Taken King and Forsaken were both top notch and are in direct comparison with each other; Rise of Iron and Shadowkeep are not. Shadowkeep fails to deliver on anything “fresh”. Yeah sure we MIGHT have gotten a new “area” (moon) to explore, but what was there really to do after you finished the lackluster campaign that was shadowkeep?
After the ROI campaign I was actually surprised about the fact that there was actually content that I forgot about. Memories of the iron lords that give substantial changes to gameplay, Iron Gjallarhorn and every other exotic quest, and an actual good raid with secrets, exotics and challenges. Keep in mind everything listed was available at launch and within the first week of launch.
What did we get in Shadowkeep? A laughable few exotic quests that are not at all comparable to Iron Gjallarhorn or even Outbreak Prime, a very lackluster, dry, and repetitive vex invasion, and Eververse. Besides these, what other incentive was there to return to the moon? None.
EVERVERSE: ROI eververse wasn’t the biggest thing regarding a “season” or “dlc” and didn’t overtake any quality from the earnable things through playing.
Shadowkeep eververse was the focal point of the season. Shadowkeep and the season of the Undying was centered around eververse. Best of year 2 engram or whatever it was called? Doesn’t give dust. If you already have these items (because they’re all old) then it’s useless and everything new would have to be payed for. The dust economy is terrible, stop making excuses for Bungie. Eververse should not be the focal point of a season and take all the quality away from the actual gameplay.
Tl;dr Eververse is taking away gameplay quality and Bungie doesn’t care.
Let’s face it guys, stop trying to defend Bungie for their greed. They’re doing the least bit of work for money. Roi wasn’t perfect but was a lot better than shadowkeep by miles. Anyone defending bungie at this point is oblivious to what they are actually doing
