Destiny 2 Standard Edition - XBOX One

D1 was disappointing due to no story, only 10 missions in the same area, and length of campaign only being 6 hours. In D2 I had low expectations and was pleasantly surprised. First thing I noticed was the graphics. The colors and scenery are amazing. There is a good story that pulls you in. I’m only a few hours in but this game is worth the discounted price!

This is the first Destiny game I played even though I always loved Bungie as the ones who created Halo. I love the way the game feels and how nice the shooting is so butter smooth. Still getting involved in the story but so far I am hooked and can't wait to see what other Destiny 2 game modes for PVP after I finish the excellent campaign. New or veteran Destiny fans need to pick this amazing game up today!

Destiny 2 is an excellent sequel witth a more engaging story. The new worlds are so massive and beautiful that I want to stop shooting and enjoy the view. While the good ol crew is still around, there are new characters to interact with. The musical score is top notch and atmospheric. So much to do, so little time. With so many different weapons, armor and subclasses to customize your guardian, you will not be board! The clans, fireteams and public events are more accessible for casual players this time around. The rifles feel more impactful and realistic to me too. And dont forget the Crucible multiplayer. The ability to use a sword adds more hand-to-hand combat feel, reminiscent to using the hammer in Halo. Currently, Multiplayer is only 4v4. I hope they change that in future expansions. Remember Big Team Battle (Halo), Skirmish (3v3) and even doubles? I'm having a blast, so to speak. Kudos to Bungie for creating an amazing worthy sci-fi action shooter franchise!

I will admit that FPS games for the most part have jumped the shark. Destiny 2 reminds me of a lot other games namely Borderlands 2, Halo, and Mass Effect. It’s a muddled hybrid of the three sans the engrossing story of ME, the personality or uniqueness of Borderlands, and doesn’t quite reach Halo’s heights in production. It is a fun co-op shooter with decent campaign— 6 hours or so. Another note for the campaign, the interface and in game menus are abysmal and will take some learning. This game is not fun if you are not tackling the campaign with friends. Also the online multiplayer is mostly fun unless you have to grind your way to level 20. I wouldn’t recommend it at its full price but at a sale it’s one of the better shooters in 2017.

If you liked Destiny 1 you will enjoy Destiny 2. They fixed allot of the problems from the first game, but in doing so over simplified things. For example weapons not all have the same perks, there is no grinding for a perfect roll, once you get the weapon the grind is over. One thing I dont like is you can't choose what game mode to play in crucible, its random each time. The raid is just OK, it more of a giant puzzle with only 1 boss fight. I prefer the raids in the old Destiny with several boss fights. I'm not sure what it is, but I found myself getting bored of this game much faster than the first game. Once you get to a certain power level there is only a limited amount of things to do each week to improve your level.
