Questions from someone thinking of potentially buying the game:
How many hours would you roughly estimate all the story campaign to take? (not rushing through, as someone who knows nothing about the game and would have to learn/explore as I go along)
- I have never played Destiny 1 or Destiny 2
- Is the entire story campaign fully soloable?
- Do all the DLC add extra soloable story campaign stuff? Or are they mostly end-game farming stuff?
- PvP is completely optional and in a separate "area"? I have zero interest in PvP
You can solo the entire story campaign, but endgame is all multiplayer. There are certain guns you can only get by doing PVP, if that bothers you from a completionist perspective. Then again, there's also lots of rewards you can only get by doing multiplayer PVE endgame stuff like raiding, so if you only ever want to be solo then Destiny probably isn't for you. If you can buy it cheap and fancy the campaign then it is an OK shooter though.Questions from someone thinking of potentially buying the game:

thx friend, that's very helpful and the info I was looking for!
- You can solo though the campaign
- Curse of Osiris, Warmind and Forsaken add campaigns (Forsaken DLC contains Curse of Osiris and Warmind), Annual Pass content is end game only. Mostly match made activities.
- You don't have to touch PvP at all. Some weapon quests have some PvP requirements, but those weapons are PvP oriented anyway, so (The Last Word for example)
- It's not too long. I'd say like 15 hours for everything
awesome, thx a bunch to you as well for extra details!You can solo the entire story campaign, but endgame is all multiplayer.

This year's DLC is where they've moved the focus entirely on repeatable endgame activities, but before that each DLC added a couple of story missions. They were very short though.
I reckon you could do the entire campaign of D1 incl TTK and ROI in about 20 to 30hrs; D2 incl CoO and Warmind in like 15hrs. By that point though, you might fancy doing a nightfall, or even getting sherpa'd though a raid. It's not that hard actually, and you can usually just gawp at the encounters and shoot things while everyone else does the work. We have a friendly Discord if you PM Ruthless.

How do I got The Last Word?
Jumped before you got banned? 😂Back here after being dissapointed by Anthem.

Just to clarify something in Kittens' post, you definitely can play the game solo. In fact, I play everything except activities that need you to LFG solo - Raids and Nightfalls. Majority of activites have Matchmaking, which can be pain in the ass, just like in every other game, but it's fine.thx friend, that's very helpful and the info I was looking for!

If you can hold on, Destiny 2 and the DLC are regularly on sale. In fact, I would wager it will be on sale again inside a month.Was looking at buying this digitally on Xbox One, I had always played previously on PS4 but all my friends are now stuck on Apex and have no interest in Destiny. Of course I am a bit late as it seems the sale is over now on all the digital version, fml.
Haven't played since launch, never touched any DLC. Too obtuse to jump back in? All of this looter shooter talk has me wanting to jump back into one I know and enjoy.

Wait so Activision Paid Bungie approx $100m to end their contractual obligations to the Destiny franchise early?
Those new weapons and armor sets look awesome! Really like the looks of the weapons, especially that rail gun sniper rifle thing lol.
Do we have any idea what those Titan Arms are with the frost effect? None of these are Exptics right? They're just Legendaries right?
That's right. I saw a video that examined the trailer a bit and those Warlock arms look like they will have some sort of devour ability that spawns a new arc soul thing that looks slick.From what we have seen those frost arms look exotic and there's a exotic arm set for hunter and warlock and a few weapons the rest seem to be regular legendaries
Got thousand voices in my first chest on my first last wish raid lolol
I'm usually never lucky so this feels good. Took me many times to get mytho in d1 and typically never got the armour piece I needed for max light.
Stopped playing right before Forsaken, really considering nabbing the Forsaken and annual pass bundle...
But that price point, yeesh. So I can autolevel to max tot the soft cap so I can do the raids or something?

I'm not all that excited about there being more Gambit focus but I will still do some dailies and weeklies to work towards 700.
If a match exceeds 2 rounds now the 3rd round is sudden death burn the primeval to avoid extra long stuff.I think the 640 bounties are a great idea. I'm still only 591 and haven't managed to play Black Armoury stuff. There will probably be no point once Season of the Drifter starts.
Although I was never a big fan of Gambit. I love the idea of it, but it takes way too long to play a match.
I think the forges will still be worth doing if you want a good roll. I have precisely 0 god rolls from forge weapons, so I still see myself doing a forge every now and then. Wish there were less friction when it comes to farming frames though; I feel like I need an SSD to deal with all the loading in and out of destinations.I think the 640 bounties are a great idea.

Honestly I don't even mind that, what I don't like is the need to go back to Ada after the frame is done before I can go to the forge.Farming forges seemed fun... but why do I have to do all the tedious junk first to farm a powerful weapon frame? Kill 25 of this, go collect that, run in circles for an hour... etc. very boring.

I still have to try out Gambit matches. I'm afraid I might screw up and ruin it for others lol
Haha not possible. Doing your own thing and "screwing it up for others" is literally integral to the Gambit experience 😉 If it wasn't they wouldn't hand out absurd bounties like "x kills with rockets" etc..
Is there other shit I gotta do before tbat? I don't see anything particularly Last Wordy when I talk to the drifter.
