    I won't argue. It is good. The reason so many people have an issue with it (especially players of Destiny 1) is that it should have been [b]great[/b]. Instead of building on everything they learned and expanded in Destiny 1, they took countless steps back and even took away a ton of our options. Want to choose your mode in crucible to play? Too bad. Wanna run some private matches with fellow clan mates? Well sorry. Want a reason to run some strikes, maybe some strike specific gear or strike scoring to earn bonus rewards? No can do. Want to be rewarded for playing endgame activities with gear that actually helps you in that activity? Sorry, no raid/trials specific perks, that's too hard as well. What, you wanted to even just replay the campaign for fun to enjoy the story, but you've already created 3 characters? Sorry, either delete one, or you're screwed. Tired of the regular endgame activities, so maybe you can just chill and run some Prison of Elders, Siva Arena, or Court of Oryx to mix it up... oh wait, that's right; those don't exist either. All of these options (and more) are gone, because of two reasons: 1. Bungie is forced to stick to a release date schedule for both games and DLC because of their contract with Activision, so ready or not content is released; it's why we ended up with such a barebones end game. 2. I firmly believe that many of the options we had in Destiny 1 will be fed back to us in 'free' updates, and as filler in paid DLC to pad it and make it look more full than it actually is (proof: We're getting heroic strikes back when Osiris drops tomorrow. Who wants to bet there's a good chance those heroics are even locked behind the paywall of having gotten the DLC?) This is a large reason why people are pissed. Many are so angry and frustrated that they now hate the game out of principle, not really because it's a bad game, but because of how disappointing it is from what it could and should have been. [spoiler]Personally I got my money's worth out of it, as when you realize that Bungie decided to just make a shooter with a few MMO-lite elements, instead of going full mixed genre like they were originally going to, you can't expect too many hours of game play unless you're a PvPer (which I'm not). Shame Bungie decided to cater solely to the casuals, as Destiny could have been something special instead of just another average or good game (depending on your tastes).[/spoiler]
