The Destiny 2 beta was a bit of a letdown for this fan

Destiny 2 is the hotly anticipated game for open world MMO shooter fans coming this fall, so why did the beta feel like such a step backward? App Trigger looks at some of the ways it was not as good as the original Destiny beta

I concur. The issue is that it's just like destiny one which was only sporadically interesting

[starboy11]

Yeah, I agree, but VOG was great

Yeah I hate to say it but I gave up on Destiny, I thought the beta would bring me back but it just confirmed my fears... More of the same nothing to see here, at least for me anyway, really not that impressed..

I'm not even sure what it was, but the game felt really under whelming... the new guns were cool but five minutes after that it just felt like Destiny 1 all over again, at least for me anyway..

I did the main mission and the strike and played a few rounds of the multiplayer and then I was done with the beta. Like, I hope the gameplay loop for the regular game is much better than what was shown. It would be easier to know or comment on it... ya know, if the beta gave us any clue to what that would be like. lol

See for me, I played Destiny day one through the vanilla content.

I stopped after a while and then caught up near the 3rd DLC maybe but never kept up with the story stuff just did side missions and played crucible but it was awesome.

I haven't played in a while...well over a year but I'm extremely excited for Destiny 2.

I started playing Final Fantasy 14 on PS4 and it got me back into the MMO mood,which made me want to really play Destiny on my XB1 ( I prefer the XB1 controller for Sports and FPS games).

So yea Destiny 2 for me....my hype level is really high.

Looking forward to playing as Warlock Voidwalker again.

I hope the full game is a bit better

They aren't even telling us about a good amount of stuff that is in the game until after launch.

We as the community will get to discover some content and stuff to do as we play it together from day one.

Or at least that is how it's supposed to work out anyways.

Hopefully, the PC beta will be better.

I liked it. I like the focus on PvP this time around.

Also, for a game that's supposed to be big on story, the first mission they showed off in the beta just drops you into the world and throws terms like "guardian" and "ghost" and "light" and "Cabal" and "Traveler" without even trying to explain what any of those things are. Despite the horrible way Destiny hid most of its story and lore in stupid trading cards on bungie.net, they at least explained the basic concepts of what little story there was. For people like me, who played Destiny for a few months after it came out, reached the end of the main "story", messed around with multiplayer a bit, then never touched the game again, it's hard to remember all the terms and concepts. After getting through the first mission, pretty much all I took away was that they set up an excuse to delevel your characters and Nolan North plays a robot. Everything else is very vague, yet at the same time it's trying to convince you there's some big, epic story to be experienced.

Everyone here complaining about it, including the guy who wrote the article, will buy it and play it and complain about it for the next three years, that's the magic of Destiny.

Just remember, this was a networking test, not a demo meant to convince people to buy it. If anyone has questions, go to IGN and check out the treasure trove of information regarding content coming in D2. It is soooo much more than D1.
