"We came down here as a squad of nine. Got picked off one by one. Watched a wizard rip the light out of my best friend, and funnel it into some kind of crystal."

My original review of Destiny 2 consisted of a funny line of dialogue, followed by a thumbs up. But new players will never hear this line in-game. And let me tell you why.

I've realized over the years and my countless hours spent playing this game (steam hours don't include Battle.net) that Bungie has become just like all the others: a greedy game company that only cares about the most efficient way to make as much money as possible, with little regard to the amazing game and universe they've created. Though, it wasn't always this way. Destiny used to be Bungie's passion project, and to some of the developers it obviously still is, (see Witch Queen, art team, music) but through various changes in management, developers retiring/moving on, etc, Bungie's vision for Destiny has changed. They want Destiny 2 to pull people in with it's amazing gunplay, unique gameplay, and enthralling universe, and keep them playing (and spending) with mechanics designed around FOMO such as season passes, DLC requirements, a cash shop that resets each season, time gating, and many more. Now, none of these mechanics are necessarily new to the franchise, but it has become clear that, over time, Bungie (as forced by the execs) has been putting less and less effort into content while putting more and more effort into using these mechanics in the most efficient way possible in order to maximize profit. Hell, they even hired a behavior and psychology specialist to help them make the game more addicting.

The reason why new players will never hear "We came down here as a squad of nine..." is the same reason why I'm writing this review: broken promises. We were promised that the content that was removed (which contained the voice line) after Beyond Light would be returning: none of it has. We were promised a new ritual armor set each year: they neglected this year, and told us that it's our fault. I could list every broken promise, but this review is already the longest one I've written. Please, don't play this game. Don't let them lure you in. It isn't worth it.


Edit: It has recently been revealed that without a shadow of doubt, the root of all this company's evil has always been the execs. In fact, the devs themselves were barred from making many positive, player requested changes to the game by the higher ups. This information was revealed at the cost of over 100 Bungie employees being laid off, including legendary composer Michael Salvatori. Let me put that into perspective: they fired the composer of the Halo theme. My heart goes out to the innocent devs that were laid off by greedy execs, and I wish them all luck in their future endeavors. I hope this situation has a happy ending, as I love this game and Bungie, and this betrayal is the last thing it deserves.

With all that being said, I would now like to encourage everybody to speak their discontent with their wallets. Don't purchase silver, don't preorder Final Shape. By all means play the game if you like, and if you really want to preorder Final Shape, do it at the last minute. We need to show these execs that they can't pull ♥♥♥♥ like this without massive repercussions.
