Destiny was a great game, and Destiny 2 was a close follow. For over a year this game was tons of fun, with a few draw backs that I could stomach. First off, I come from an Xbox play-through with hundreds of hours so don't let the steam counter fool you. My biggest gripe about this game has to be how obvious Bungie's hate for Hunters is. Our gear looks like crap; our exotics are crap; and our abilities, though at one point were strong, are constantly nerfed. I hate playing as the Warlock or the Titan, they just aren't as fun. But they have destroyed the little equality the Hunter had in the first game. They also decided to make all of our gear make us look homeless... so that's nice.
The thing that makes me dislike this game, is what Bungie has done since the release of the most recent DLC. They cut content out of the game... like... 80-90% of it. No I don't mean cut like COD cutting and putting it into a DLC for later addition. I mean, the content was in the game, and then they cut it out. Sure, they put a few things back in its place, but it doesn't equal what was taken and is so much worse. I'm not sure how you can reasonably have a game that people are ok with, and then just cut the majority out of it and think that's ok. Say goodbye to the old raids! Say goodbye to the old strikes! Say goodbye to the old gear! Say goodbye to most of the planets! But hey, they added the cosmadrome back in!... I actually like that part of this update but they changed parts of it and it's not the same so I'm salty in that respect.

If you were someone who bought the old DLC, say goodbye to them! Cause they have since been removed from the game (Where's my credit/refund eh?). If you were someone who had really good gear, be it good from stats or looks, say goodbye to it! It has all since been locked at a power level of 1060 and you know where the power cap for gear is now? Above 1300... oh, and all the new gear you can get looks like ♥♥♥♥. It looks so ♥♥♥♥♥♥ you know what they did instead of making cool looking gear or just allowing our old gear to go up in power level? They made it to where you can just skin armor with ornaments, that are stupidly hard to come by unless you buy the skin packs from the store and really don't look good unless you get the really pricey ones... So base armor now looks like trash (somehow more than it already did), but you can pay us more to make it look... ok! This game is fun to play, at times, but unless you give no ♥♥♥♥♥ what your character looks like; give no ♥♥♥♥♥ about grinding nonstop just to have another update ♥♥♥♥ all of your progress so you have to grind again; give no ♥♥♥♥♥ that the only cool stuff has now, just recently, been totally locked behind a pay wall; give no ♥♥♥♥♥ that all of your old gear/armor is now 100% useless, don't ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ buy this game.

Bungie went down a dark hole when they gave up Halo and went to Activision. I was scared when I saw the addition of a real money currency, and everyone said it wasn't going to be like other games. To be fair, it really wasn't, and I was happy with what they did. Originally, it only had stuff that you could get, or really didn't matter like a stupid ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ emote. But now, actual gear is payed. I was scared when I heard what was happening, then PlayStation started getting tons of exclusive ♥♥♥♥ and knew my fears were coming to be reality. Now with each update they are just beating a dead horse to see how much blood really is held in that skin sack.
Bungie died years ago when Reach fell. The company we are seeing right now isn't the same one that gave us the goliath that was Halo. It's some washed up uncle that is a fraternal twin to father we all grew up with. It kinda looks like him, but he died in a car accident and the driver of the other car was money and greed who had teamed up with our uncle to take over the empire dad made. ♥♥♥♥ Bungie and don't buy this game.
