I just don't know what happened to this game.
So act 2
Talk to Eido and Mithrax
Go to prison
Talk to Eido
Go to prison
Give Spider comic book
Release Eramis.
Act over....
What? I just don't understand.
I get that we got onslaught and the prison... that's great. But there is a serious lack of effort in so many areas. Why are we talking to Eido and Mithrax on a holo projector while standing literally right next to them?
The environments are on point, but it just feels so empty at the same time.
I've been playing other games over the last 6 months and I come back for the acts but i've been so disappointed since Act 1 of echoes. The magic is just gone for me. The writing is so elementary lately, there's little to no sense of danger despite the game telling me there is.
I hope that frontiers can deliver. I've beat the prison twice now and I now have no desire to play until the next act.
I know this post seems whiny, and yeah I guess it is. 10 years of this being my favorite game only to feel almost nothing as I go through these acts. But man, I watched someone play D1 for the first time a couple weeks ago and it's almost painful to see how different the tone and feel of the game is from then to now.. I really do miss it, It's like watching a video of a long lost friend.
There's just nothing in the story pulling me into the Destiny universe anymore.
The "darkness" really was shouldering a lot of this game in my opinion. And once the witness was revealed to be a singular being... instead of an army inside those ships it just fell totally flat for me. I saw concept art for the different forms of the witness, but we just got... a bigger witness.... with more hands.... idk.
idk what i'm trying to say here... but I can't see myself playing the game for much longer.

Edited by xbroggiex: 11/22/2024 2:42:57 AMEpisodes are basically life support for the game occasionally defibrillating it with a very small chunk of content. Maybe Bungie is biding time for Frontiers to be realised, I wouldn't be surprised if we see some sort of teaser or trailer at TGA this year. Besides that the game feels like its genuinely just finished as there is just so little news now and all the Frontiers articles all sound good but are all seem like surface level ideas that feel like they aren't going to come to fruition. Nothing short of some massive expansion or complete overhaul I think will reinvigorate interest in Destiny especially when they just "ended" the story with TFS. But Frontiers seems like more frequent bigger content drops but that would've been good like 4 years ago, now after TFS who gives a crap?
