As an avid lover of Destiny 1, and everything it did right, I do wonder why I'm not in love with Destiny 2. It looks a lot like Destiny 1, but with some changes, which initially I quite liked. Like two of the same weapon slots, so I could Hand Cannon while I Hand Cannon'd. Or location based quests that drove me to explore the areas more. Even finding interesting places underneath that need cleansing with my boom stick.
But the longer I played the more I realised there were fatal flaws in the system. What was once an amazing game and franchise has been stripped to it's basics and rebuilt in a different direction. Not a direction that would propel the franchise forward, but hold it back. I feel like Destiny 2 is a cheap knock off of the Original. Like so many mobile apps in the Play/App Store, that are piggy backing off another game.
I'm not going to go into all the things that the other players are screaming for, or mention the dozen's of youtube videos telling you what you did wrong. That's a waste of time. You know you need to have built on Destiny 1, not erased it.
So that's what this post is about. You, Bungie, need to build upon your foundations and quickly. Anthem is due this year and BioWare are watching. They get to watch what you are doing, and what the players are screaming for. It would be naive to think they will not listen to all this noise.
So Bungie, if you still want a player base come Christmas I would strongly suggest you not just start listening to the player base, but implementing the changes we're calling for. You also need to be vocal about what you're doing. Daily updates on your website about what you're doing to improve this for us.
Looking forward to a better Destiny.

I want to love the idea of Anthem, but deep down I know for certain that there is an extremely high likelihood that EA will -blam!- it up and make it more of a cash cow than Activision/Bungie could ever imagine...

Bray Wyatt is the Eater of Worlds
-
I’d do some reading on what’s going on. A lot of key people are leaving the studio. Sounds like some issues internally.
-
Why do people think anthem will be the end all , its going to be a cash grab trash fire , bc of ea's micro cash grab pay to win
-
they don't realise that Anthem doen't need to be the BEST looter shooter in gaming history. It only needs to be better than D2. Thats setting the bar real low by any measure.
-
-
LMAO!!! EA is worse than Activision, good luck with that!
-
Please do not buy Anthem or any EA product. Please do not allow them to continue with their insidious practices.
-
Biower and Bungo are both shells of their former selves. I don't trust either developer to produce quality titles anymore.
-
honestly who will be even playing destiny 2 when red dead redemption 2 is released ??
-
Anthem is going to have the same issues as Destiny does, and Bioware has a lot to prove to the world.
-
I'm very cautious about the game.
-
I hear it loud buddy it almost echoes lol

Изменено (whateverman7): 1/11/2018 11:51:00 PMThey've said that about every major release since d1. '*insert whatever game* is the destiny killer'. It didnt happen then, it's not gonna happen now. The reason being: it's not a crime to play more than 1 game at a time. I plan on playing both d2 and anthem when it comes out, along with other games. In fact, no game can kill another game unless the devs of said game decide to abandon game A for game B. Which is ironic you mention Anthem, cause that game killed mass effect andromeda. Bioware let the b team develop mass effect andromeda so the a team could work on anthem; it came out as a glitch filled, broken mess of a game that will not get fixed nor have any content updates cause bioware abandoned it to finish anthem. Now that is how you kill another video game.

They said that about The Division and look what happened.

Изменено (Gomly1980): 1/11/2018 12:01:26 PMOh, look, another game being hyped up ... a game by BioWare and EA no less. BioWare have released so many awesome games recently and EA have a track record for putting gamers first. Hyping that up will only lead to disappointment. It will also have it's own microtransactions.
-
If you have high expectations for Anthem.... you probably aren't paying attention.
-
Yeah, The Division is going to kill Destiny...oh wait.
-
Anthem? Is this a joke? EA is behind Anthem.
-
3rd person shooters typically don't do as well. Also, EA. Not getting my hopes up for that.
-
That's the problem right there. People got all hyped up over Destiny. "It'll be the greatest next thing. Blah, blah, blah." Then you got let down. Now it's "Anthem is the next greatest game that will kill Destiny." Getting hyped over a game that's not released yet, AGAIN. Learn your lesson people. Please for the love of god do not preorder. Games are in this state they are because developers are hoping they can sell enough before release with minimal effort. Stop getting on hype trains.
-
It's 3rd person, looks more like an eater of Mass Effect.
-
You will be disappointed.
-
Destiny 2 sucks, but Anthem? I'm not even going to bother reading reviews, let alone give them my money.
-
lol. That game will die real fast.
-
How many Destiny killers have we seen so far? 3? 4? None of them did the job. I doubt this will, plus it's published by EA, so don't get your hopes up.
