An interesting observation about D2 Beta Reviews

So I've read all the reviews and opinions on the D2 Beta so far; I've spotted an interesting trend in the opinions from the ones that are saying it's great and are loving it. All of these Bungie defenders have sub 5000 Grimoire, No "From the beginning" node unlocked on Y3 MoT and have 1000 Hours or less gameplay time. You will say Grimoire doesn't mean shit, but it's an uncanny trend that I've spotted. Any D1 Alpha/Beta Vets with 5500+ Grimoire and 3000 Hours logged have anything good to say about this D2 Beta? I'm curious...

  • I want to like it I really do but I just feel, meh. Weapons are pretty bland, almost everything so far feels (and sounds) like a test weapon. Supers an abilities don't even exist. Bungie is literally snuffing out everything that made Destiny fun. It's not just the TTK, it just feels painfully slow an heavy. Even supers are underwhelming, not to mention the charge rate. You wait the entire game for ONE super and it's dull. Watching the nova bomb crawl in slow motion across the map comes to mind. An you know something's not right when even the BETA 1 day in has a meta. Seriously? I do like a lot of things on the PVE side but I still feel like the weapon system doesn't fit. I was fine doing the first half of the strike with two primaries, but the boss battle was just ............ ok let's chip him away with our lack luster primaires... wooo, look out more mobs! I can't help but think about the grind ahead of me an how much into D2 I'm going to get before I'm so over primaries I'm actually missing Destiny's current meta (Which I hate). Homecoming mission was excellent. I know it's just the beta but it feels like we are all underpowered clones of each other which makes it so much more bland. I feel like we went from complaining about meta and sweaties to everyone getting a participation award for being special Destiny snowflakes. Shutting down a OP super use to feel rewarding now they are so weak you get no rush at all. You can either easily run away or just shoot them to death. Oh hey an I love seeing 4 titan walls on a point, or shooting at a group of blinking warlocks standing in an aura. Meanwhile my Hunter twirls like a 4 year old ballerina 1 step to the right... to reload my own weapon. Nothing like being the supposed fastest class who brings nothing useful to the party. Yay. I'm trying, I want to give this whole lie.. I mean fresh D2 start a chance but I'm just not feeling the [i]Destiny[/i] rush. I'm just gonna say it, I miss House of Wolves era Destiny.
