Bungie did a great job with D1, vanilla all the way to rise of iron. Then.... bungie doesn’t know how to make a sequel. Instead of tweaking EVERYTHING in D1 for D2 and then adding content and ideas on top of that, they simply started over and unfortunately stripped away a lot of content that I assume will be DLC’s. D2 could’ve had vanguard bounties, crucible bounties, factions in a daily basis, gear with more of a variety, weapons with with variety of perks and then built on top of that. Destiny 1 was a grinding ass game, and people loved it. It’s one of the things that make destiny attractive to people. The need to HAVE to get this roll or that roll. There is a huge fan base for a grinding game and destiny did that. Had to grind to level up your armor, to level up your weapons, HAD to run the raid to level up raid armor and raid weapons. Had to go the mars to farm for materials, the whole game was a grind and a lot of people loved it. Then they made it where everything could be purchased, 3oC’s gave exotics like candy. Raiding and doing the nightfall and iron banner was a way to reach max light, that’s how you got there, then they changed that, don’t have to raid, didn’t have to do the nightfall, didn’t even have to run iron banner. Bungie has slowly stripped away the grind and a lot of people, hardcore gamers, not those that simply push buttons lost interest in the game. But it also brought in a lot of people who like get rewards easily. Apparently bungie believes their largest player base wants things handed to them. The evidence speaks for itself. The grind while saying “it’s bullshit we have to grind for materials to level up our weapons or armor” is what have part of the game replay ability. Strikes had meaning, crucible even had meaning, bounties were a way to rank up a faction to that scout rifle or the hand cannon you wanted, then, they took that away as well. I understand that they made the game and then stripped away content so they can call it a dlc, but in doing so they have left us with a hollow game with no meaning. I’m sure by the time Destiny 2 is coming to an end it could be as polished as D1, but that’s probably 2 1/2 Year’s away. Just wish bungie would’ve made vanilla with more things and then came up with MORE stuff to add, instead made a game, and stripped away all of the essentials for DLC’s.
