Ever since Bungie did Marty dirty and "allegedly" mistreated Joe Staten, they have not been the same.
I can only say allegedly mistreated Joe because it is former Bungie employee hearsay and not legally verified information. But still, after hearing that Jason Jones Frankenstein'd the Destiny that Joe wrote with his friend's fantasy project (I think it was called Minotaur), and basically took all the credit for Joes work, yeah I have been soured on Bungie.
The Dreadnaught on Saturn, from the Taken King expansion? That was originally planned content for the end game area of the initial release. Bungie really did cut up Destiny and sell it back later as DLC.
And then they cut content from D2, that was already released, and sold it back later as DLC
Not to mention vaulting the entire campaign (and DLCs) that D2 originally launched with. So if you bought the game on launch, you don't even have access to the content you paid for.
Yeah, and it completely fucked over the new player experience as well, their New Light thing in the Cosmodrome was a such a step down, people didn't know where to begin playing the game and had no clue as to what the Red War was, despite every NPC praising you
Yea, that stuff made me stop playing in a couple days. I don't want a fucking game to tease me about shit I literally cannot experience any more just because the devs didn't want to let everyone play all the content they already made.
It was obvious I was already not getting even the core experience, and FUCK any game that locks contents even behind seasons. I'm busy these days. I still want to get to the content, just not on THEIR shitty forced timeframe.
Seasons and timed battle passes can go straight to hell as far as I'm concerned. I fucking hate FOMO.
Tbh the Red War was not the greatest introduction either. New Light would be fine, if it was followed by Red War.
That explains why everything after taken king felt like garbage, they didn’t have their creative to steal from anymore and ran out of his ideas. Destiny 2 from the start was a terrible game and it only got worse over time. Then they stole the entire game people originally paid for and gave them nothing in return and I never played it again.
Just call it "BungOLE"
Though this seems like a reasonably healthy take, it's another thing that makes me think I don't need to wonder about going back for The Final Shape.
