" It needs to recapture it's initial fanbase and assure them that single player and co-op is paramount going forward. Second, it can make more money this way. "
That is the main reason.
The client doesn't have any issue with familiar aspects. Look for example Halo trilogy. The problem is the fragmentation of a product that will end up being 120 dollars or more in all the entirety including the buff and nerfs applied during that time.

"You must have traveled back from the future I suppose and seen the entire game already!"
The clients are reacting to the disclosed information. We are arguing with what we have in front of us. Bungie claimed about 4 vs 4 pvp and no dedicated servers. What I stated there is a general consensus based on the given information. I never declared a review or final judgement on a final product. I'm pointing out the tendency and the lack of work on Bungie's behal...
"Destiny 2's familiarity is not a disappointment, rather it is essential to the franchise's future success."
EXCUSES.
Let us review the following. Look at the improvement between Halo 1, Halo 2, Halo 3. There are serious improvement between iterations however ALL OF THEM PLAY THE SAME. You have familiarity but you put PROGRESS and add to the current formula instead of selling a DLC to a full priced game like Destiny 2.
The wise client seeks quality, replay value and game play quality instead of pre ordering games without knowing the full content in them.
Conscious players critiques ill businesses, market practices, racketeering and ploys. That's perfectly fine. However games are meant to be fun. We forget that constantly. Shall we care if graphics marginalized gaming? Shall we care if EA, UBISOFT or ACTIVISION recycle the same game over and over again maximizing their profits? Well, I...
Is this a 30 dollar expansion pack for Destiny 1?
Bungie can't sell this for 60 dollars as a second installment for destiny 2. It's a fault of respect to the player's intelligence.
No dedicated servers for PVP and the toxicity of the kick option in the game turned me away from this game.
Starting from zero after all the effort invested in the first game is another slap in the face to some players. Bungie keeps digging a deeper grave for themselves.

"Kicking features get abused terribly in online games. What would end up happening is exactly what Bungie doesn't want. The matchmaking system would become a toxic cesspool of arrogance. One mistake and every one instantly becomes an elite pro gamer that never messes up and the entire group flips on one person who becomes the scapegoat."
Precisely.
Bungie promotes a toxic environment and a cesspool of arrogance w...

"It's not hard to figure out their new plans.
Sell more small packages content at full retail. Then sell catch up bundles (standard game + dlc 1+ 2) then repeat for each new piece of dlc."
Their current business model.
-Foxtrot:
"So people are haters now for clearly seeing this is nothing more then a big expansion and hardly anything is different
Despite being so many they are such minor improvements which again you'd expect to see in an expansion"
Precisely.
Many clients are seen through the advertisement and hype. Many understands that such game is just an expansion pack, repeating the same model. Bungie designed Halo and their achiev...
-Foxtrot:
"Then Destiny 3 will be the game Destiny 2 should have been...
Can you see how they will always be behind."
EXACTLY.
Bungie is always behind trying to play safe with almost no improvement to the graphic game engine. They are trying to develop as cheap possible with the intention to increase outcome with an aggressively good advertisement. If people noticed, Guerrilla Games where below average wit...
>2014 Destiny 1
>2018 Destiny 2 with the same GRAPHIC ENGINE.
Bungie stop being so lazy and update, change and improve your old graphic engine.
Destiny 1 and Destiny do LOOK THE SAME.
How ANY developer dares to release the same engine graphic performance after almost four years of technological advances?
Exactly.
Bungie is trying to design a game with extremely cheap assets. Bungie lost all reputation with their attempt. For many of us, Destiny died long time ago. It's impossible to turn back once you play Horizon Zero, Warframe, Titan Fall 2 and Overwatch.
2017 and no PVP private servers?
2017 and no option adjusting like Overwatch parameters?
2017 and we have almost 360 like graphics instead of a serious graphics improvement?
2017 and levels are tiny and linear instead of having open world levels?
NOOBungie, i'm not going to purchase a 60 dollar DLC with the name DES[TINY] 2
Simple.
"the old destiny ran on a 360 ffs"
True. The game engine and the graphics looks awful. No improvement at all.
Bravo, biggest scam ever made by Chris Roberts. Many Asperger retards continues defending and baking crap like this.
Better smooth FPS than 4k.
Don't make it 4k. Simple.
Sorry I don't buy the hype, Bungie.
It's interesting to have a sequel with improvement on a great game when such improvement signifies a leap. However no developer will dares to make a game with the same graphics, same level of detail, same game play mechanics and PVP limitations. Bungie is doing a DLC release with the name Destiny 2 Why not dedicated servers? Why not adopt the PVP server style made in the game Overwatch? Why have random cyclic levels and random pl...
