‘Destiny 2’: Bungie Can’t Stop Breaking The First Rule Of Getting Out Of Holes, Stop Digging

INQ: Destiny 2 is in a hole right now and Bungie can't seem to get it out because the studio keeps digging. The dust-up this week over Faction Rallies is just the latest example in a long string unforced errors that have disappointed PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC gamers.

I just wish that another studio, except any from EA, would create the game that Destiny should be. I think is not that hard.

[Kosic]

Would love for destiny to turn into a new borderlands style looter hunter. But with the shared world experience. And maybe the random rifts from Diablo 3.

It's a solid shooter, but just ruined by the greed of the developer.

Santa Monica once were working on Destiny like game but PlayStation scrap it because it was in development hell and waisted around 100 million. Many of it concept look amazing but the director couldn't make up his mind.

I really would've liked to see what that game could've been. It sucks they canned that whole team when the game got cancelled.

[Arctura]

At this point, it's almost comical how many mistakes they've made. Quite honestly, I think people may be more forgiving if they weren't so arrogant about; continually give hollow apologies isn't a way to build trust with your community.

It was how they were back in the Halo days too. They are just now realizing that people found it really old and annoying back then too.

[Sirk7x]

Kinda, with map packs and whatnot, but you can't really compare a game like Halo 3 with Destiny 2. That game was iconic.

[Parasyte]

@Sirk7x
Doesn't matter whether Halo was iconic or not. Bungie still adopted this air of secrecy and mystery when it came to communicating with their community. They are starting to realize that that will not work anymore.

[Araragifeels]

The Bungie that we used to love is dead. Activision turn them to greedy Dev and Bungie broke their words. Bungie forced out the person who contribute make Halo the best.

[Altovoltage]

I can’t believe I wasted a $100 on this game. Never again Bungie.

[Krysis]

I paid $140 I think for D1 and all its content, money well spent. I spent $60 on destiny 2, regretted it ever since.

[Mr-Dude]

The problem is, that a lot people will fall for it again if there is a Destiny 3. I learned my lesson with Destiny 1... maybe I will pick Destiny 2 up, but unless it is the legendary edition with all DLC for a very cheap price I ain't gonna bother. And the Legendary edition is gonna take a while to, if it's ever going too release at all.

People never learn, and when they announce Destiny 3 everybody is hyped again. It get's very high reviews which I don't get, and after weeks/months people are back here again.

[jackdaddy]

Destiny 2, an epic tale of how Bungie totally lost everything.

[Jakens]

Agree with you, but I was all for Destiny 2 on release day. Now I agree.

[Araragifeels]

Bungie died once the sold their soul to the devil for a trilogy. Current Bungie is non longer passionate of making game for the fans but rather focus in making as many as possible by backstabbing the players.

[Krysis]

The decisions coming out of destiny are made by Bungie not by activision and there is plenty of proof out there backing that up.

[TheCommentator]

Maybe they're digging an escape route to avoid any further shame...

I honestly wish that they would give Star Wars to someone that could make a game like this. Travel to different planets, do different missions, co-op/public events, create your character BUT without all the greed, all the microtransactions, all the throttling. I would love to travel to different worlds, talk to natives, participate in co-op events, create a character, etc etc. but in a Star Wars universe where you are king, not money.

They need to make a deep, RPG style game like this without all the extra crap Destiny gamers have to endure. I would love a story where you can choose your type of character (smuggler, jedi, etc) and go on quests in this style, with friends. Raids would require maybe 1 type of each character. Worlds would have "tower" style areas built in, aka towns where you could talk to people, trade, gain equipment etc. Mos Eisley would be amazing to visit to name a few. Imagine someone like Han Solo being the Xur of the series that would show up with "Exotic" Imperial gear to sell. He could unlock the ID locks on the guns or something. Maybe him and Chewie show up certain days of the week after he left the Empire. Perfect set up for the smuggler. Not that I want to be spoon fed exotics or gear but it makes it a bit more special that you have to wait certain days of the week to get it.

Destiny is great but Activision is not. They're too greedy to publish for proper game devs anymore. I really wish that this game wasn't just a money maker for them. It was designed from the ground up to take our money with the exotic drop rate, the spoon fed powers, and limitations behind almost everything the gamers in it can do. On the other note, in my experience, the game runs very smooth on my Pro, it's VERY fun to play (I love going on strikes and events with the GF) and it's provided countless hours of play, without giving in to MT's and it keeps me busy for hours/days. This greed REALLY needs to stop though, it's getting excessive. I hope eventually things will change as gamers become more educated and less people fall for this crap/expose it for what it is. We need to keep up the vigilance.

Bungie can't stop disappoints gamers.It's unacceptable!
