I love FPS games. I love MMOs. Heard about Destiny 2 and downloaded it.
Gave up after 2 hours.
Gameplay is great, graphics are great, gunplay is excellent.
However, the experience for newcomers is abysmal. It’s unclear where to go, what to do, who the fuck matters or not to the story, what the story even is, and what mechanics matter or not.
And then there are “full beginner’s guide” articles that actually assume you already understand every location and jargon, and after reading a literal wall of text, they drop some information like “btw during the first 30 seconds of gameplay if you didn’t use this specific resource to craft this specific item, you’re an absolute moron and you’ll develop liver failure and you’ll never enjoy a game ever again”
So yeah, not playing that. Cool for those that got into it when it first released and somehow are able to keep up with the meta.
destiny (2, at least) was a mechanically great shooter attached to an abysmal story with awful MMO gear/leveling features and some of the worst company decisions I've ever heard of.
the game would literally be better if their parent company had died the moment they released it.
I’m probably just going to watch Byf/Myelin videos for the conclusion of the light and dark saga. I’ve been with Destiny since Beta, and got really invested in the lore. I’d stop playing for a few months and jump back in for the story beats/gunplay. Now all that wind has left my sails, and I still can’t believe they let go Michael fucking Salvatori
