Is Destiny 2 worth saving?
Hello,
Have you guys seen what's going on with Bungie? PvE down to 650,000 over both games and 5 platforms. [b]@lethalviper80[/b](thanks for the info on that) Everyone is unhappy over microtransactions. And in my opinion, Destiny 2 is way worse than its predecessor. The PvP is sadly a joke. The factions and IB feel like a "[b]copy paste[/b]" of the first game. Also, a lot of people have been posting stuff like, "[b]going back to D1[/b]." And "[b]D1 is so much better[/b]." I mean, can you really blame the community all that much.
I knew Activision would mess shit up. Pumping out generic content. Giving us "[b]sparkly new gear and weapons[/b]." Yay!
Right?
Wrong.
I fell like this game was a very well executed plan to bring us back. Remember how cool D1 looked. It worked. I don't know who's to blame. Bungie. Activision. Blizzard. Even a shit ton of Twitch streamers/YouTubers have put the game down for months. This truly is what you call a "[b]downfall[/b]."
I don't know if this game can be saved at this point. They have stated that they're going to be fixing a lot of stuff. But will that really fix anything?(this is just my opinion)

I'm hoping that D2 will run it's coarse towards total disaster so that Bungie can be released from the grips of Activision & then maybe....just maybe we'll get something new & better....

Im gonna give a honest answer in a years time

It is, but it'll take a lot to build back all those burnt bridges. Personally... I'd love to see them say "Effective February 1st - We are implementing a massive update. In this update we are migrating everything in D1 to D2's build. Everything you loved D1 is back with the shiny packaging of D2. There may be some bugs we weren't able to find internally, but we plan to implement fixes weekly over the coming months. Some may not be fixed right away but we will communicate that to the community and give time frames accordingly. So please bear the fact this is a huge undertaking, but the ultimate goal is to make this game what we have all wanted for far too long. Future DLC are still on track and will be added to this new massive universe on their given release dates. Events are also on track for the given time frame every month. There will no longer be sequels to the Destiny universe titles and is now considered just "Destiny". This meaning updates and dlc will add onto the every changing persistent world. You will no longer lose anything and content will be added onto this single massive world ...we've created together. We look forward to what this huge undertaking will bring. We ask for your patience and assistance in feedback for the coming weeks. We will not be able to do it without all of you." Yards yards .. you get my drift

To save it, some fairly aggressive course changes will be required. But if these changes happen, YES, it can be saved. And YES, it is worth saving. There's a lot of really good ideas and content there.

Edited by FdYAcsoyPKN83gLE: 1/28/2018 4:26:30 PMBungie wanted to make a game “where you can not eff up” to appeal to the ‘casual’ audience by making very bad design choices and downgrades. Like it’s so punishing for them to have the wrong selection of perks in a subclass tree for once.

I won't be buying any D2 content in the future personally. Not unless it's been out for a while AND has great reviews of it. Certainly won't ever preorder from Bungie again. I already feel like I was mugged for a 100 bucks by them, and I really don't wanna hand them any more cash unless I know I'll get something mind blowingly fantastic in return. It's funny how quick this community turned around. As soon as Bungie said a few good things, so much of the negativity evaporated and was forgotten. Feels like an abusive relationship if you ask me...

The story is a joke, no really it is actually a joke , pretty much 95% of the story is jokes, 5 percent maybe actual plot , and since CoO was basically a one off story with no implications or ramifications the overall story we can expect basically the same for GoM... The majority of guns are underwhelming and about the number of great guns is limited to pretty much the number of fingers I have if that . They gave us only one huge patrol with vanilla and gave us basically a combined arms sized crucible map and called it Mercury patrol . While I like the idea of raid lairs , they should have made them in ADDITION to raids , not replace them until the next major expansion , and the fact that Leviathan only had one boss was royally disappointing. I'd want to give them a chance but come on, even if they pull through with everything , let's say we get to the end of Destiny 2, at the end of 2 is 3 , and Destiny 3 is being worked on by freaking Luke Smith and Mark noseclown , you know the brilliant failures who gave us this broken junker of a car called Destiny 2, how do we know we won't get the same ride from them with 3?!!!
