Destiny 1 was a fairly good shooter. But it lost a lot of points for me:

No story. If something is going to be repetitive and Grindy. At least give me some flash to be able to ignore that.

Lack of base content. Base Destiny had barely anything to do. The fan base said that the game doesn't actually start until you've completed the main story, but by the time you did there was 1 raid and 1Nightfall a week. It wasn't until The Taken King that it felt like it had the content of another game.

"Tweaks" to weapons. Balancing is usually ok. But they went and made all the good Exotics useless. The idea was to have one special gun that stood out. But they just changed them to all be shit.

Bullet sponge bosses that one shot you.

Way too little focus on PvE after the base game.

Buggy raids.

Worst of all, locking existing content behind the DLC paywall. Removing the little content the base game had and forcing you to buy the DLC was a very shitty practice.

So cause of all that, I'm holding off on D2. It would have to be a pretty big improvement to make me want to get it. If reviews are favourable I may make the purchase though.
