To all the haterz
To all haters of D2
You say D2 is oversimplified as if it's a bad thing. Some people want that.
The negatives in D2 are there, as they are in most games these days. You know, these days of a masterpiece being the only kind of AAA title that isn't harshly criticized.
You have to try and appreciate what D2 devs are doing. They are being BOTH proactive and reactive with their patches and changes.
In a game of this scope, style and substance, you aren't giving it the proper credit it deserves because your minority segment of the population is dissatisfied.
The population is billions. Hard core video gamers are in the thousands.
Do the math.
It is still an amazing experience, even if you run out of things to do. So, if you don't like what Destiny has become, go play Monster Hunter, and quit your short sighted bitching and moaning. It's not going to change in the ways you want.
D1 is not coming back.

6 RepliesIf you seriously think hard core gamers are in the thousands then you have no idea. The major issue with D2 isn't that hardcore gamers don't have things to strive for or do. It's that D2 has nothing for hardcore and gamers to do. There is 0 incentive to log in every day and play the game. Luke Smith in his infinite wisdom much like the infinite forest tried to make this game to cater to the casual gamer. Someone that very rarely plays games, while ignoring a much larger subset of gamers which are the gamers and hardcore gamers. If you want to sell lots of copies of a game and have people spend money on it for dlc's, expansions and even microtransactions then you have to cater to gamers and hardcore gamers. As those people will play the game much more often than the casual base. This game has 0 scope, 1 style(only good thing is the artwork that's it), and 0 substance. Instead of building off what D1 did and laid down as the foundation for the sequel they scrapped all of that and made D2 a game that somehow was way worse than D1 ever was at launch.
