The great warmind is coming, all hail the one called Rasputin,
He's embedded deep in the lore, of this there is no disputin'.
But of course this is bungie, and carte blanche is their dance,
He'll be retconned, rewritten, and made all fawning like Vance.
The ancient past is sands shifting, as are all things gone before,
They're just tales, myth and hearsay, that we once knew as lore.
There's no need for backstory, or mark the deeds that he's done,
The warmind's high tech computer, on windows '98 it's now run.
Rasputin plays symphonic music, while fighting darkness assault,
The faintest strains of Beethoven, can be heard in seraphim vault.
In this nebulous new world, Margret can fabricate facets in time,
Rasputin now loves bhangra, and disco, but his favourite is grime.
Will warmind put in appearance, and finally turn out to be friend?
Or be like old elusive Osiris, with contractual cameo, at the end?
Whatever yarn they may spin you, to engage you one more time,
Remember decimating world lore, should be a punishable crime.
Expect failsafe mark two, when vanguard eventually get to parlay,
All indiscretions now forgotten, that happened way back in the day.
There will be no mention of siva, or of how the Iron lords perished,
And the grimoire of warmind, can now be burnt, an' not cherished.
The myopic captain of this game, will again steer onto the rocks,
As they flip assets for update, sayin' they worked off their socks.
We know threads of this story, were shown way back in timeline,
Staten's stories long vaulted, but reinstating them now is just fine.
There'll be usual mundane missions, that will likely add up to five,
With all the habitual suspects reporting, from cabal through to hive.
Transforming rusty assets to latest, with a quick lick of fresh paint,
Then convince you it's wondrous, like sharp magician, with feint.
As we snooze over cloned gear, they attempt to grab our attention,
The fact it's continually reskinned, they feel you shouldn't mention.
Making content's backbreaking, and they don't have the measure,
So they just roll shit in glitter, an' work to persuade you it's treasure.
More new strikes will be added, though they're hardly worth playing,
When rewards are so drab, and not worth the time of your slaying.
Power levels will rise up, so a new higher number you'll be showing,
As they hoodwink and deceive you, that your power is still growing.
With new raid lair to discover, the leviathan will call you once more,
Back to the old familiar place, that you have all transected before.
You get brand new raid content, for all the monies that you've paid,
But there's a lingering suspicion, this content's from seminal raid.
The captive season pass players, once kept chained to this mess,
Will be free of all obligation, and no longer under bungie's duress.
Their liberation is now imminent, with each guardian free to decide,
If they stick around for more punishment, or just depart broken ride.
The overarching grind will not change, 'cause the game is so vapid,
And the desired sandbox fixes we want, they are not coming rapid.
The crucible's four versus four, will be standard teamshot with meta,
And the great warmind's appearance, won't make any of this better.
Down the path that's well traveled, as they strictly follow their plan,
To offer meager bland content, an' raise as much cash as they can.
This once beloved developer, has now shamefully relented to greed,
With each 'patch' and each 'fix', more of the playerbase they bleed.
So for the guardians of alpha, it's best to 'member rasputin in lore,
For the golden age warmind, I fear we will recognise him no more.
Disappointment and distaste, will be the theme of this new DLC,
'Cause they dispatched all their staff, to go and wreck destiny three.
So I'll kick back and write poetry, with hopefully wit an' some charm,
Because I'm legitimate and affirmed, I've taken my trip to the farm.
Satire is not trolling, or hating, so please don't perceive me as bad,
I'd rather be using space magic, than scratching rhymes on my pad.
Save yourselves from frustrations, and shut those wallets up tight,
Until sometime next autumn, when there's slim chance it's made right.
As they offer planned expansion, that will be all shiny and glistening,
It will only cost fourty dollars, to see if bungie were actually listening.

Shit in glitter - best description of D2 Close up your wallets - best advice for D2

A more compelling and cohesive story than what bungo gave us with warmind.
-
Great stuff men! Thanks for putting it out here for us to enjoy! 👍🏼

1 ответYou call it satire, not trolling or hating: honestly, I wouldn't care if it were trolling/hating. Any 10-year-old can write a hate rant, but it takes some actual effort (and not a little skill) to put it into metre and verse. Oddish is right, the metre was off in some places, but overall it's got pretty good flow. I look forward to these: well done BladeRunner.

1 ответAs usual, well done. For myself, even though I had bought the biggun deluxe, I’ve barely played this game since November. I didn’t really touch any of COO and only came back a few times to see if crucible had gotten any better. It hadn’t, and the new vigilance wing meta is even worse then uriel’s. I’m not even going to bother playing this expansion with all the good games out right now. And I certainly have no intention of handing Bungie any more money. Maybe if they pull their head out of their ass and restore the gameplay and mechanics to Destiny 1 style, someday I’ll give it another shot, but Bungle is pigheaded and obstinate and I wouldn’t hold my breath.

1 ответIt’s sad because I remember reading these “Twas the night before...” posts in D1 in Y2 when I joined and I always looked forward to the expansion and came away from the poetry more hyped and enthusiastic about the game I came to know and love. Now it just seems like a song about losing your loved one or maybe just a love song that reminds you of great times past that aren’t anymore... It really sucks knowing there is no future to Destiny 1 and that Destiny 2 might be so far gone that I will never live it again. [spoiler]kinda like the love I had for Call of Duty (Modern Warfares and Black Ops 1/2)[/spoiler]

1 ответThe first bit I began wondering if you are now on Bungies payroll. Kept reading and BAM! There's the poems I know and love. There so accurate and funny. Never stop.
-
Superb, as usual.

Great so another Osiris, so I will beat it in about an hour with some half presented story about a deep lore character that leaves you feeling unrewarded. If it wasn't for the pvp this game would be a waste, mostly because I don't have an issue with TTK, and the 4v4 is annoying but manageable when you going in solo.
-
10 thumbs up! Thanks so much for posting these, always accurate and fun to read.

10/10 would recommend.
