many people are actually genuinely frustrated with this lazy excuse for a sequel. Cheers for the instant sparrow button and being able to fast travel to different zones so I can farm for public events for hours because hitting max light and running out of things to do in this game was reached in mere weeks.. But where's the content Bungie..
Take 2 seconds to browse the forums and see 95% of people saying the same things..
'Oh but it took 3 years for D1 to get good? Give D2 some time!'
WHY?
They knew all the things wrong with that game so early on, with the forums blowing up every patch and nerf because they kept screwing the game up and never getting it right yet it took them 3 years to finally start listening to the people who invested so much time and money into their broken piece of shit game.. The people who gave them all jobs and put food on their table every night.. They just wanted to push Destiny 2 out because their cash cow was running dry.
'Why don't you go play something else then and stop whining?'
WHY?
I bought this game. I paid money for it. I'm a consumer. If it's not up to my expectation, I have every right to express my frustrations. Every right to voice my concerns that what I paid for was most definitely not up to scratch. Not up to the standards Bungie supposedly has.. Somewhere.
'But not everyone feels this way, I actually like the game'
Browse the forums. Talk to other players. Trust me, this is such a common topic.
'The first game was so grindy though, at least this one has good drop rates'
I think I speak for most players here when I say that even though the grind in the first one was shit and frustrating, it's ten times better than just being practically handed all the exotics and weapons in the first few weeks. Where's the fun in being given everything.. At least back then they all had individual identities and actually felt different and unique.. Even if some were unbalanced and broken etc..
Don't even try to give me excuses as to why we should be anything less than lenient with them. They took us for a ride in Destiny 1 only caring about the profits. Giving us an unfinished game filled with bugs then stuffing $70 DLCS into our faces and forcing us to buy them otherwise we would be locked out of most content. Giving us fkn sparrow racing when all we wanted was a fun balanced game to stand the test of time.
Its been out a month and Destiny 2 is already dying. It's undeniable..
Screw the casual fan base, the 3 hour a week players. I'm not talking about them. They are ignorant.
I'm talking about the people who dedicate hours a day to playing this game and have given over hundreds of dollars to this company while being spoon-fed total bullshit.
The people who are tired of just logging in, doing milestones then leaving to play another game.
The people who bought the game to be lost for hours in an exciting fantasy world only to spend 20 minutes playing before getting their millionth error code since launch.
The people who expected this game to be leaps and bounds ahead of D1 and all its mistakes yet are only to be let down with a rehashed recycled game filled with yet again, not enough content.
Where's the mystery hunts for ghosts?
Where's the magical back story that had us all intrigued in the first one instead of a story that doesn't make sense?
Where's the long quests for exotic weapons that you could proudly show off?
Where's the achievements that kept us busy for hours?
Where's the elusive unicorn weapons that got us excited and hopeful and whenever anyone got one, the party turned into a raucous frenzy?
Where's the mystery?
Where's the excitement?
Where's the fun?
Because every group I've partied up with, hasn't had anywhere near the same enthusiasm or excitement as the first game. In D2 we just want to get the quest/strike/raid done as fast as we can simply for the sake of getting it done. Not because it'd be fun. We know we will ultimately be disappointed with the drops at the end anyways.
Oh, but I'm sure there will be a DLC coming out soon that'll last us all of a couple of days.
Yay for that.
It's just my opinion though.. Not like I matter, or they listen. ✌🏽
