A buddy of mine is already done with it. He said he’s gonna just wait and hope the next one is better. I’m still gonna play it tonight.The community is having a meltdown over this. I'm still only halfway through it but it just feels... lacking?
Granted the Destiny community loses their minds over any little thing, but this seems to be more consistent. I guess the story really falls flat. Even the usually positive people are hitting it hard.
If you are playing, be sure to go to the helm and the war table. It opens up the seasonal stuff that I should have been getting all along, but it doesn't start until you actually go there and read a message and pick up a quest.
The gameplay is still there. The new bosses are neat (difficult without just being massive bullet sponges).
The annoying thing with the campaign is that the level goes up quite a bit for each mission. You're better off farming drops doing something else to make sure your level matches the mission, otherwise they can be silly hard. I was running into enemies with the red ??? above their heads which means I can't even damage them. Once you level up, regular is easy.
I should finish it this weekend. The story/characters are not great so far. To be fair, I think the gameplay is ok. Granted I play on regular difficulty (there's still some bogus difficulty spikes even there, I can only imagine legend being a slog). The problem is there's too many tanky red bar enemies who do the old "spawn right behind you" thing. I put more than half of my ammo from the new exotic auto into a red bar (the lowest enemy in the game) and I'm not under-leveled and only on regular. That's not difficulty, that's BS.
I think there's just some understandable burnout on this series. At this point I've almost certainly put more hours into this game than any other series (granted this is 2 games).
I didn't get to it this weekend. I ended up doing other stuff. Right it has 2/10 user ratings on Metacritic.Gameplay was good. Story was... not. People are definitely over-reacting. Like this is the first time we've gone through Destiny without meaningful story.
I went to go buy this. Then saw it was $50 for it? DLC? Really? f*** that.
I was big into WQ. Put probably 70 hours into it and the first couple seasons. I was tempted to come back for this but holy s***, the buzz is very negative. I guess I’ll hold off.
