Good article...points out what has been plauging destiny for a long time.

I have been happy with the new expansion so far but I cant see any insentive to keep on playing after the raid apart from finding all possible exotics in the game and pvp.

Plus bungie have not really addressed a lot of issues with the taken King...One of the main ones are like matchmaking

Nitrowolf23884d ago

honestly, i just can't see matchmaking doing so well with randoms for raids. Nightfalls sure, but if court of Oryx has proven anything is that the vast majority of people suck at puzzle solving, especially when Bungie literally tells you what to do with each enemy

THIS 10000000000000000x

All people want to do in shooters is shoot $#!^. As soon as a puzzle / relic comes up in Destiny people just go off the wall stupid, and I'm sitting there thinking, OMG this is elementary school puzzle solving at best.

But I've seen it happen so often, that I had to sit back and really adjust my thinking and feel sorry for them, because it's insane to me that so many adult "gamers" don't have basic puzzle solving skills, which means many of their life questions could also be highly questionable.

It's truly eye opening.

I ran out of reasons to keep playing last year. it seemed the only goal was to keep grinding to try and get all the best stuff, and that just has no appeal for me.

ABizzel13884d ago

There's fun to be had, but the grinding is still very much the same (albeit not nearly as bad as it once was). Every DLC is pretty much a clean slate where you have to start over again, which is highly annoying and why I still fell exotics should just upgrade with new abilities, but infusion works out well for that.

The problem is you have to unlock Year 2 versions of the Year 1 exotics you already have, which is where the grinding comes back into play. Destiny would be a great game buy the grinding as well as a few other things hold it back from being great. It's good, just not great.

i think the real problem is pvp. its so completely underwhelming in destiny. Its shocking to me that a studio like bungie, with their insane pedigree in PVP gaming, could produce a PVP experience so incredibly lackluster. it feels like a giant leap back from even a game like Reach.

SqueezedWeazel3884d ago

Destiny can do no wrong for me and my family... Love it.... Can't get enough

wakeNbake3884d ago

There wont be an endgame until the DLC churning 10 year contract with Activision ends.

GreetingsfromCanada3884d ago

I was promised story and stuff. Essentially I got 3 hours of "Oh snap, it's the big bad. Let's kill him" and a raid for $40.

Dario_DC3884d ago

That was too funny lol I'm glad I bought Destiny used for 20€ a month after release. No way I'm buying this "Expansion", not to mention 30fps on a 1st person shooter kinda ruins it for me.

Sokol3884d ago

Like I said since my time spent in the Alpha phase, its a disguised MMO.

There is no end game. Just more grinding DLC.
If you like that stuff, nothing wrong with the game.
Personally, its not for me.

The Destiny Franchise is at its Brightest When Embracing its Darkness

Here, Twinfinite is writing that Destiny, despite being a T rated franchise, is full of dark and brooding moments that showcase the best of the team's narrative potential. They further write that, while Destiny 2 has not delivered as much as it should have on this front, Forsaken appears to be the big step that it needs to return to its greatest moments.

Press Start: Going flawless in Destiny 2 isn't quite as sweet

Gazette gaming columnist Jake Magee's lack of skill at Destiny is what made going flawless in Trials of Osiris more than a year ago taste so sweet. The feeling wasn't as great when he did the same in Destiny 2 last week, he writes.

Press Start: Destiny 2 is cooperative shooting bliss

Destiny 2 is the franchise at its best. With an engaging story, more cooperative activities and better competitive play, Destiny has never felt tighter, more satisfying or more addicting, Gazette gaming columnist Jake Magee writes.

you can tell these reviewers spent no time in the 1st destiny

The_KELRaTH3166d ago

I wonder if they'll re-review it after completing the 12hr campaign and levelled up to 265

Phoxel3166d ago

I wrote this review after beating the campaign, reaching 273 power, completing two of the three exotic quests, completing every adventure, playing plenty of Crucible, and much more.

Phoxel3166d ago

Hi, I wrote this review. I logged 32 days in Destiny 1.

DELTABOY043159d ago

how is destiny 2 a 9.5 while missing many features from the first game, weapon balance issues, lack luster exotics, boring strikes, and no dedicated servers..i like the game a lot for what it offers..but its no where near a 9.5..closer to a 7.5..they didnt add enough for this to even feel like a proper sequel
