Polygon: Destiny could be defended in the past.
When others deemed its loot systems broken, I came up with justifications for them. When others declared the game mediocre, I explained why it was one of my favorite games of the year. I committed to this game, and mastered its arcane and counterintuitive systems.
Bungie has punished everyone who trusted them or invested time into progressing a Guardian with Destiny: The Dark Below, and vindicated everyone who agreed with the original 6-out-of-10 review scores.
Bungie - "Join our development team to see the new updates arriving with Destiny 2: The Final Shape. Releasing on June 4, 2024."
Amid ongoing anxiety within Bungie following layoffs last year, the studio is now preparing for another shakeup, this time on Marathon.
Talk about mismanaged Bungie is a studio of tremendous potential and have made some of the greatest shooters to date. Sony pushed them to just make another Destiny style game and consult on other studios live service games and are now getting thrown under a bus as the pivot away from predominantly gaas games is unfolding.
I'd love to see a world where Bungie can focus on telling great sci fi stories again away from a live service dungeon but we all know that's a pipe dream
This studio has had three owners and its never worked well with any of them....Management has issues
Destiny 2’s game director Joe Blackburn is stepping down ahead of The Final Shape, leaving Tyson Green to take the reins of the PS5 and Xbox FPS.
As someone who bought every story DLC for DESTINY 2 but not every season. the first thing I would do as game director is , if anybody pre-orders The ?Final Shape , they will be able to play all older DLC and seasons with purchase of FINAL SHAPE. . I think that would bring back a lot of DESTINY 2 plsyers who have not experienced the seasons a chance to play season activities before Final Shape comes out.
This pretty much sums up why Destiny is the only game I've ever deleted from either of my new consoles.
And why I'll never consider buying Destiny 2.
if i were to sumerise destiny, i would say it has great gameplay, a ridiculous progression system past level 20 and hardly any content, the £20 DLC ( which is more than i paid for the game,) adds very little. i have put about 50 hours in so far, and still haven't found one piece of legendary Armour,
When I to the warlock vendor to find out that there were legendary helmets stronger than my fully upgraded apotheosis veil I was PISSED!!
Destiny, as I have said over and over, is the greatest FPS of all time!
Dont go so far, but the game should have launch with the first two DLC, because it lacks content. Thats the major problem, it needs much more strikes and bigger.
