Agreed. There’s nothing revolutionary or groundbreaking at this point with the Destiny universe. All of the promises and vision gone as they turn the franchise into just another CoD reskin in space using the traditional FPS genre recipe. Boring. Just like you, I felt connected to D1 from the start, stuck with it through the content dry spells and kept hope that it was going to involve the dream that was once Rome. I too pre-ordered the DLC with the base game, but feel so burned I don’t even know if I’ll come back for it. I don’t even watch many of the Destiny YouTubers anymore, the one thing that really kept me going during the content spells of D1, but I’m starting to see even some of the former diehard content creators are starting to openly question the content/direction D2 is headed (probably cause their views are starting to drop).

What really sucks is that, for Bungie, this was bad timing as far as I’m concerned. I had just quit playing Paragon shortly before D2 was released. I don’t know if you’ve played Paragon, but it has gone through so many changes, that eventually drove off Day One players as well as Youtubers. The changes were enough for me to literally cold turkey it. And it happened right as D2 was about to release, and so D2’s lackluster release followed along the theme of broken promises and boring, watered-down gameplay.
