I know Beyond Light looks solid, but it just doesn’t give the same feeling as this did! Just doesn’t give me that “this is for all the marbles” kind of feeling. I’m excited don’t get me wrong, but what I’ve read on Glassdoor about former Bungie employees and things I’ve heard from my friends who work for other developers is that Bungie’s core values don’t line up properly. They aren’t looking to make the best game and never have. They are looking to make the most profitable game even if it involves cutting corners.
It’s depressing to know that that’s their ideals as a game company, but I guess we have to take it as it is.

I remember in D1 how epic the cutscenes were. There were a couple that made you feel like you were saving the Universe. Then there was the one with Cayde, Zavala, and the gang. I finished the grind for some pinnacle weapons lately and noticed how empty the “cashing in” experience was. Bungie used to put a lot more time in on the rewards that gamers really play for.
