Ive heard good things but Im not sure what all is driving the buzz.

I played at launch, got to the level cap and finished the campaign. Kinda burned out right around there, though. Havent played any expansion content.

Ive always really liked the idea of Destiny but it has had mixed success keeping me hooked. D1 didnt do it at launch but I loved Taken King, at least enough to do the whole campaign and do the dungeon/raid a few times. D2 didnt keep me hooked at launch, but is it worth coming back now?

If you have it on PC, they are migrating to Steam and you need to go through a process to secure your characters and everything for the migration before October 1st (or ... November 1st?).

Well, obviously at its core, its always a looter shooter, but different phases have definitely had better endgame content than others.

I haven't even booted the game up (I got it for free) but I did the migration thing just because I don't mind getting free games on Steam >_>

from what i understand you don't have to migrate it before october 1st, it's just that after october 1st you'll have to migrate it before you can access the game at all

Shadowkeep is coming out soon. Destiny has so much content honestly. Sometimes its overwhelming.

Right now, its in an excellent place. And the upcoming New Light rebranding and Shadowkeep expansion only seem like they're going to make it even better.

I think you just link your Blizzard/Bungie account to your Steam account and it will register your copy on Steam automatically?

Well thats good to hear. Is there a point in jumping back in now, or should I just wait for the transition to New Light?

You could use this month to chase a few items before Shadowkeep drops.

Outside of the campaign, several of the activities will force you to play with others. Communication isn't typically essential though unless you're doing something like a raid.

But what about the campaign? Does it feel like a proper game or just a series of dungeons, meant for coop?

Personally, I hated the campaign until I reached the Forsaken content. Also, the campaign alone isn't worth the cost of admission in my opinion. It is too brief to be the reason for purchase.

I was a big Destiny player from the launch of the original until last year when I finally got fed up with the constant steps forward and steps backward. But I still follow the news because that can be entertaining in itself.

The thing with Destiny is that it's a roller coaster ride. Certain things improve but Bungie consistently screws obvious things up that should be impossible to screw up. Currently it's how the armor for the upcoming raid is a re-skin of armor from Curse of Osiris released in 2017. It's a big deal because raid armor is supposed to be why you come back to raid every week, and they've always had great original raid armors, so what happened?

That's just a small example.

I haven't played Fallout 76, but I think the same thing is happening with Destiny 2 where most of the negative voices have simply moved on and stopped caring. So it's mostly the community who have invested thousands of hours trying to convince themselves how the game is "in a great place now."

its basically halo multiplayer with mostly meaningless loot & grinding added on top, your enjoyment of destiny 2 will depend entirely on how much that description appeals to you

I want to like destiny, however the movement system is so goddamn sluggish that it feels like you're trying to run in 3ft of mud.

Bungie came out and said that the reskinned CoO armor isn't the raid armor, it's for a different activity.

Other way around. They confirmed it is the raid armor. Which is pretty lame but it does look good and the other armors weve seen look cool too so oh well I guess.
