I know most of you were turned off by Destiny LONG ago but the game has finally improved to an insane degree. There are many great games released right now but if you ever get time, you should check it out. The campaign is, by far, the best Destiny campaign and its not even close. It is actually difficult at the higher difficulty and the story is the best that has ever been told as long as you have an idea of what is happening.

I need to change my sig now because its not embarrassing anymore to be playing Destiny 2. Its truly a great experience now. They have truly turned this franchise around.

Well, that's almost everybody gone.

Its been 7 years? I think? The game cant babysit every new player with an easy story to follow for people who havent played before anymore. I think that is for the better. It would limit how great the stories can be told. The story is at a level of the lore actually being put into the game as a story. Its fantastic

I'm just talking shit, nothing against Destiny.

While you're making a fair point, you also have to consider that the way destiny vaults content means that new players legitimately can't start from the beginning and understand the story. That's not to say that destiny should start explicitly catering to new players, but if they only ever cater to the dwindling set of players that remain you won't get any more of that fantastic story either.

Well there is some interesting thing here. One being that they do have a timeline of events tab in-game that you can look at. It gives you a summary on what has happened for every expansion and key point of the story that has happened in Destiny 2. I think that is a very big feature for new players.

As for your second point, it logically makes sense. You would think that the player base will slowly fall more and more if the story only caters to the vets. However, the game has only grown its player base which is fascinating. Hell, Witch Queen had over 1 million preorders which I dont think has ever happened before.

I finally finished the legendary campaign solo last night, that was intense

I'll hope they take this quality into destiny 3 and maybe I'll play that one

Destiny always has me conflicted because I want to hate its entire design ethos, but it's so much fun to play

The problem is that they said there wont be a Destiny 3. They are all in on Destiny 2. That was an old statement though. There are 4 DLCs left including this one so who knows what will happen after that. We know Destiny wont end after that. A new saga will begin

Just 2 more, I thought? Lightfall and Final Shape?

But yes, I agree with the TC. It's really good. The gameplay is as good as it always is, and the story is finally going somewhere.

If a new player picks it up and is intrigued, they can YouTube a summary and be caught up in an hour. Hell, I think there might even be a short summary in game.

Destiny has such good shooting mechanics

They came out and said that they will need another DLC to tell the story in the detail they want to tell
