[Destiny 2] What are your opinions of Destiny 2?

[SkagenRora]

Hey.

The Game released on console over a month ago and the PC release is coming up.

Since people have played it for awhile now and become Familiar with The game and it's content, i am just wondering.

What are your opinions of the game after playing it for awhile?

Is it worth buying?

It's Pretty lackluster overall, Might give you a week or so in playtime, but there isen't much to do in the end

This will likely get closed since there is a Destiny thread.

But to answer your question I think its a slightly above average game (6/10). The beginning was good but the endgame is lackluster. They removed a lot of system's that made late Destiny 1 good and added new system's halfassed (Guided Games).

The loot game is weak. I hope they reimplement some sort of random rolls at some point. Mida combo is statistically overtuned, no, not because of the high caliber, but because the movement speed perks, makes all other weapons seem like discount weapons and sorta obsoletes both the sprint exotics and the whole mobility stat. Other than the weak loot game and already stale meta, i'm excited to play it on PC soon™.

It's worth the 60$ and even more if you like PvP.

They don't need random loot to work....they just need A LOT of loot if it's going to be fixed stats.

Right now i would hold off. Theres the framework for a good game there but it needs a lot of fixes. They just announced the first of which coming in its 'season 2' update but for the launch build its not worth it so i would just hold off for now and let the updates fix the issues in dire need of fixing.

Thanks for the reply.

No problem at all.

Not necessarily, but adding a random perk on top the the fixed rolls would already achieve the "a lot of loot" goal with minimal effort to implement it (+ it would make a lot more weapons appealing with good rolls).

If I had to give each one a score.

1) Story - 6 out of 10 (Not bad enjoyable, Like a popcorn flick)
2) Gameplay - 7 out of 10. (Solid shooting but crappy systems like guided games weights the game down)
3) Replayability - 5 out of 10. This depends how fast you burn thought the content, but even if you play casually you will still burn thought it in a couple weeks. Overall to me its a 6 out of 10. There is some good there but the bad weights it down. Hope they fix it soon with the upcoming DLC and PC release.

Story is a solid 6. They went very safe this time and its entirely by the numbers but the side quests set up far more interesting stuff. Gameplay is a 7/10 its fluid enough but still suffers some problems like 'jump up on sloping ramp and pingpong backwards instead of up and forwards due to collision errors' that makes the minute to minute gunplay fun but the movement suffers from the same issues as the first. Though the ledge grab is a welcome improvement. But compared to Titanfall or even Halo 5 its going to feel a bit slow and heavy. Replayability is a tough one. You complete the story and thats it. Those missions are gone. once per week you are given 3 at random to replay for its current horrible token system thats thankfully being looked over and each world has one sidequest to follow. Beyond that you only replay the daily/weekly challenges like 'kill X on planet Y' and thats more busywork than replaying the story. Its hard to call it a weak aspect in and of itself but the game focuses more on persistence that right now suffers from loot issues. You arent going to be replaying missions pretty much at all right now after hitting a certain power level.
