why i HATE Destiny 2

Hello, welcome back to a new video game

review. So recently I've been playing

Destiny 2, which has to be one of the most

boring, uninspired shooters I have ever

played. And I thought this game would be

really good because it's made by the same

people who made the original Halo games,

Bungie. The first 5 Halo games were

originally made by Bungie, and then after

that they gave the rights of the game to

another company called 346 Industries or

something like that. And the reason why

Bungie did this was because they felt like

they had enough of Halo and they wanted to

move on. They wanted to focus their

efforts on their new project, their new

game called Destiny. And it just doesn't

really make any sense to me. You'd think

if they got fed up of working on one game

and they wanted to start a new game,

you'd think that new game would be very,

very different to the game they just got

fed up with. But actually, the Destiny

game is not really that different to Halo.

It actually looks very similar to Halo in

very many ways. It's kind of like a sci-fi

shooter game, and it just kind of looks

and feels like Halo. With a reskin, but

everything's bland and boring and not

interesting anymore. When I first started

playing the game, I kept thinking, wow,

this really looks like Halo. Look at the

dropships coming in and dropping off these

alien soldiers and warriors. And look at

the vehicles. Even the first vehicle you

get is like a floating hover motorbike,

which just looks exactly like the Ghost.

It even has these cannons, these kind of

plasma cannons you shoot at the enemies.

And there's also kind of like a spider

tank the enemy has, which looks like the

Scarab. And I just thought to myself, why

did they leave Halo so they could make a

new game which is just like Halo but looks

worse, plays worse, and is in general much

worse than Halo? Why didn't they just keep

on working on Halo instead of starting

this new franchise which has like a

non-existent story? I don't even know what

the story is because the missions and

quests were so boring so far. All of the

missions and quests are very grindy.

There's kind of like this MMO style in the

game and the game calls itself a

first-person shooter MMO, and there's

other players in the game as well. So

you're running around the world map and

you can see other players running around

as well, and it's supposed to be like this

online, online multiplayer community

aspect thing, but no one really plays

together. There's no chat feature, so it

doesn't really feel like you're playing

with other people anyway. It feels like

they're bots or AI. And sometimes I wonder

if they ever regret ditching Halo for this

Destiny franchise. It's kind of like when

You dump one girlfriend because you think

you can get a better girlfriend, and then

you realize you can't, and that the

girlfriend you just dumped was probably

the best girlfriend you'll ever have in

your life. And now you're kind of just

kicking yourself, and now you've got this

new girlfriend that kind of sucks in every

way compared to your ex. Not that I would

know anything about that. You would think

that if they were fed up with Halo and

they wanted to make something new, they

would make something completely different,

like a, like a motorbike riding unicorn

game with rainbows and sunshine, and maybe

where you sell ice cream in a shop. Why

would they just make a new franchise which

is almost exactly the same as the one they

just left? It's a sci-fi shooter with

aliens and you've kind of got Spartan

armor as well. Even the character's armor

looks like cyborg-esque Spartan armor.

Loads of the weapons are just like the

weapons in Halo as well. I really don't

see why they decided to make this game.

It just seems like a complete waste of

time. So the main difference with this

game, Destiny 2, and Halo is that it's

supposed to be like an open world MMO

action FPS where there's these random

events that happen in the world and anyone

can just join in and help each other and

start fighting these enemies and bosses.

And it's a very loot-driven game where

you're supposed to defeat bosses and

complete quests and you get chests and you

get all these different items. There's

epics and there's green items and normal

items and rare items. And I guess the

whole hook of the game is supposed to hook

players into feeling like they're addicted

to the game and wanting to grind and grind

and grind so they get epics and get new

items. And I really just hate loot-driven

games because they just feel so lazy.

Instead of actually making a good game

with fun gameplay that hooks you in and

engaging story, which they had in Halo,

they just go, oh, we can't be bothered

with all that, we'll just put this loot

system which will hopefully get the

players addicted because they want to get

better and better loot, and then they'll

just keep playing for thousands of hours,

which a lot of Destiny players do. They do

get addicted, they end up playing the game

for thousands of hours just because they

want to get more shiny purples. I don't

see the point. The gameplay and the actual

game is pretty boring in itself. The

gunplay is okay, it's pretty smooth, it's

better than Cyberpunk. It's a very smooth

and fluid movement and shooting system,

which I couldn't say the same for

Cyberpunk, which was so laggy and janky

and sluggish. So the game's missions

mainly involve just following a waypoint

to get to a destination, and then you've

got to activate some kind of control panel

or start your hacking thing, and then

you've got to defend the hacking thing

whilst enemies start spawning from

dropships. And you then just have to

defend that area for as long as you can

until the enemies stop coming. Or you've

got to go to a waypoint and then defeat a

wave, endless wave of enemies for a few

minutes. And they do a really bad job at

explaining the story, explaining why

you're here, why are you doing this, who

are these enemies, what are they doing,

where are we, what What is the whole point

of this game apart from just pointlessly,

endlessly shooting aliens and then getting

loot? At least in Halo, it really made

you feel like you're in this epic struggle

between the humans, humanity, and the

Covenant and the Flood and trying to

figure out what the Halo rings were for.

In this Destiny game, I don't feel any of

that. The graphics in the game are not

bad. They're okay. Nothing really special

for this day and age, but the enemy design

and the character models are really boring

to look at. They're very simple. They just

have this very bland kind of child

game-ish look that you'd find on some kind

of mobile store mobile game. And there's

no grittiness or darkness or kind of sense

of realism. The enemy models just look

really boring and flat, and they don't

look imposing. And the gameplay is just

really easy as well. They just spawn from—

they drop out from the dropships, they

will charge at you, and then you just have

to spray into the crowds and they all

start dying. And there's different classes

in the game. You get to choose between

Titan or some magic thing or some agile

moving class, and they have different

abilities. So the Titan has like this,

this electrified melee charging thing.

And then he also has this shield that he

can hide behind. It's just really boring.

There's no, no sense of needing tactics or

strategy in the game in order to survive.

You just run around like an idiot.

Spraying and praying at the enemies that

are really dumb as well. It kind of

reminded me of games like Serious Sam or

Doom, but it just doesn't look as

impressive or visceral as games like Doom.

And there's just not really any team play

mechanics. You see other players around

and yeah, they can help you out and stuff,

but it just doesn't really feel like

you're playing together. So yeah, I didn't

really enjoy the game. I thought it was

pretty boring. There was nothing about it

that was special or stood out to me or

hooked me in. And after playing it for a

few hours, I just closed it. And I don't

really feel like I'm gonna reopen it ever

again. Good thing it's free to play. I

can't imagine paying any money to play

this game. It's just really, really bland.

I'd give it a 1.6 out of 10. Do not
