You rephrasing the sentence bungie has no direction several times isn't as convincing an argument as you think it is.
TTK seemed good because it was the first time missions didn't actually suck. It was a low bar Bungie needed to hit, and they hit it. Everything else they did was just leading to what we have now.
All of this. I put 500 hours into destiny 1. If I could cut out all the time I spent doing activities and grinding that I didn' want to be doing but had to to reach the content I wanted to llay, if cut that time in half if not more. Terrible metric to use universally for all players.
I feel like they took this to an extreme. The diablo team adopted the same philosophy, but there are still a million and one small carrots to chase in that game. I feel like Destiny 2 doesn't have any. Shoot even daily missions/strikes like the first game had for awhile would be nice.
The campaign was really bad. Forcing you to walk through long hallways without a sparrow, killing major characters off screen and then never referring to them again, very little actual diversity in mission objectives, hardly any vehicle sections, all noteworthy characters (class leaders, quest givers) just stand there to hand out tokens and never follow you/help you in missions. To top it all off, the story was junk and the player learns nothing about the in game universe other than the idea that maaaaybe the traveler is alive. Which is something we were already told in destiny 1. Yet a ton of questions /mysteries introduced in destiny 1 are forgotten or ignored.
Destiny 1 had more loot worth having. That's why people are critical of D2's end game and expected to have a similar experience to d1. You preferring it this way doesn't make people who wanted it to be like it was in the past game and criticizing this method ludicrous.
from my understanding as someone who never played either game
It came out almost 2 months later, with no cross save, and people on PC (at least some I seen on here and some of my friends) are already tired of it and gone back to other games, even with it's better framerate, resolution and graphics. All for better console sales.
I played the beta and if it did have that I would legit think about getting it lol.
loool PC was a month late to give them ample time to make sure it didn't release like absolute shit and could focus on the first PC game they've done in YEARS.
That's not entirely true as for all intents and purposes they're their own separate activity. With their own encounters and rewards
I heard that excuse a million times with games and they have marketing deals with Sony. The game also ran fine for the beta for me and most people from my understanding so I never understood the "So it didn't release like absolute shit." angle.
Thats wasn't true until year 3 of destiny during the AoS
Halo CE, Halo 2, and Destiny 1 all had disastrous development cycles. Perhaps the problem, ya know, lies with them.
