The greatest most spectacular, mind-boggling, and impressive waste of potential.

You will enjoy this game at first, it's genuinely amazing.
And then you'll actually want to get into the depths of the gameplay and realize there isn't any depth at all.
The gameplay loops are genuinely boring. How do you make exploration in a giant simulation of the Milky Way boring?

And sure, this is a sandbox, make your own fun.
Issue is you really cant. The systems are so damn shallow than you can't really tell your own stories, or get into the simply existing in the universe. You 100% will have to make your own fun with this game, and it feels like the game is doing everything in its power to stop you from doing so. This game genuinely is about as deep as the Amiga game, Frontier: Elite II.

Damn, this game is cool. But damn did it miss so much potential, and miss the mark so incredibly hard.
Plus the developers have a tendency to mislead and consistently makes pretty bad decisions.

I mean, its portal. It is fun. It is good. It is cool.

Huge swaths of this game, it's story, it's NPCs, it's loot, it's enemies, it's locations - all removed. Not made irrelevant, not hidden behind a paywall (which some of it was) - removed. Deleted.

If you are new to Destiny, you will not know what is happening. You will not know who you are. You will not know the legacy of Cayde-6, of Ikora (although she still sits with nothing to do in the tower). You will not understand the story of the Cabal. You will not know the importance of the Red War, of Osiris. You will see their names - perhaps part of their legacy. It will mean nothing to you. You are not going to be treated well by Destiny. Even if you play the brand new content you will not know what it means. Savathun? Who is she?

Oh, you saw a video of a Strike on the Tangled Shore? Perhaps you are returning after buying the Forsaken DLC. It's gone, so have fun not playing it.

You like an old set of armor - an old gun with neat mechanics? The only balancing tool is to hardcap power levels. Balancing weapons by stat changes, or mechanic changes? Not going to happen. You want new PVP maps? A rarity.

You, as the consumer - are not valued.

When the game's file size is too large, instead of changing or improving existing content, years of storytelling, adventures, and experiences deleted. Of course, I wouldn't be so upset about Sunsetting (the name for deleting content) if the game's new content was worth your time. An unprecedented inclusion of a darkness subclass - a dreamed storyline since the early days of Destiny 1? A usual "kill this guy" campaign. It's a cool feature, but nothing crazy. This game takes the soul out of every element of this incredible world. The story has so much potential, the game has so much potential, the shooting has so much potential.
All of it is wasted.

But hey, if you like looter-shooters and want to have a vast majority of your gear lose its value every season and spend money on DLC content that is subpar to be removed after a year or two - its fun.

The shooting is nice, the graphics are solid. Zavala has a cool voice. The atmosphere of parts of the world is good. It's free if you want to grind meaningless missions. You won't really get any story without paying up - but that's the world we live in.

finally beat the gun deer guy. game isnt too hard after all.

throwing balls lol

it could have been good idk.
progress is no longer enjoyable. the grind is a joke.
