  • Today's video is a little different. If you've stopped playing or altogether Quit Destiny 2 over the past few years? I'm tellin you man, you should at the very LEAST consider coming back to Destiny 2 for the Final Shape. Bungie is goin god damn crazy out here. Shadowkeep, Beyond Light, and Witch Queen are ALL free to play now, power level requirements are coming down hard, there's fireteam power, new pvp maps, destiny 2 hoard mode, ETC ETC. Just gonna share my thoughts on it all.

      Into the light is full on recycle... We paid for the majority of that content long ago.
      All the effort was switching the "On" box. Everything else was meant for 30th anniversary type of paid DLC. (Just compare the similarities)
      They even held on the UI rework for almost a year just to sell it in FS, there were leaks of the rework long ago. Clear proof they do not care about player convenience in the slightest while withholding such an important QoL feature.

    The new (or long time returning) player experience is the worst out of any game I have ever played. As a new player, you will never know wtf you're supposed to be doing, what content is important, what content doesn't matter. Some quests are overtuned into the extreme (Nord.Ovrd.Avalon) and more tedious than anything you'll ever do, and some are laughably easy even though they require the exact same gearscore. At one point the game just threw a bunch of 1810 gear at me for no reason, yet my drops and vendor rewards continued to drop well below my GS level. Navigating the world is an absolute slog of loading screens, and there is so much feature creep into the game it's unreal. At one point I had 5 pages of quests. All from seemingly different DLC or expansions, and no idea what to do to get to "relevant" content.
    Oh and item diversity? I somehow got an exotic scorch hand cannon that exploded on kill and would wipe out screens of enemies. From the moment I logged on. That outperformed any other gun I got on my journey to 1810+ GS. It was a primary weapon and nothing came close. I was doing Vanguards or Nightfalls with people with a guardian rank of 10 and outperforming them (scoring 2x higher) because of this stupid weapon that required zero skill. But then in Gambit when we were invaded, I would land three consecutive headshots on the opposing guardian, do zero damage and get one tapped. There was no rhyme or reason to it.
    I also tried doing a 50 wave onslaught that was "recommended 1600 GS" and was getting one shot by everything towards the end at over 1800 GS.
    I think they'll get some returning players as they always do, but then quickly fall off as they always do because the game is borderline unplayable for new players right now; it's an unintuitive mess.

    • @VengefulLuna12
      @VengefulLuna12 6 дней назад +1

      Hm, seems like you needed a guide, the weapon you had called sunshot is mainly for pve, in pvp its not recommended.
      weapons are tuned for pve and pvp respectively so it did not perform as well the quest issue is definitely a thing and getting under 1810 stuff is due to 1810 being pinacle, and 1800 is soft cap, the resson its ranked 1600 rec is because it levels everyone up to 1800, they state this ingame as well, also vangaurd or nightfalls is easy to carry in because alot of people are garbage or dont know what to do or are doing bounties
      FInally the super hard content you said is because you didn't have a build crafted and it is an exotic mission, not an average mission, average activities are always going to be easy because you over power them and content that require you to select difficulty or different maps are usually the harder activities.
      New player experience is bad, however you really will need a guide, ask any content creators discord or even use the new fireteam finder system
      **IN HIGHER ACTIVITIES YOU WANT THESE**
      You should always use some kind of resistant mod or surges on armor along with siphon, since you use sunshot definitely try solar siphon, idk you're class, but if hunter use solar or void with one fragment to make firesprites to heal or use healing nades, or void for invis and devour, if warlock same with with solar but use well of radiance, and finally titan some mix between thundercrash and or behemoth for some fun, use recouperation if health is an issue and if not use scav or surges, since you have sunshot i recommend a linear or rocket as a heavy but it is up to you

      Its called burnout, and im surprised how many d2 players feel and and have no idea what it means, if you do to much of ANYTHING daily (like thousands of hours) relatively consistently, its pretty common to just burnout and lose motivation for years, usually it fades, but again, it can take years, while it happens a lot in video games, it can also happen with jobs or sometimes longer shows. The only time I've seen this not happen is with autistic people (like me) hyperfixating on something for 12 years, but that gives a whole new type of endless dopamine and doesn't really count. Anyways, it happens to almost everyone, don't be harsh on urself abt it.

    I respect your opinion, but it is just not financially responsible for me and many others to spend $120 for something that i need to continuously do year round to justify the cost. And even something like just baseline Final Shape and whatever season it comes with is still just... not worth it, unless they just go above and beyond or something. I'd love to keep playing, but for something that is higher than like 40-50, much less double/triple that amount, I just cannot justify purchasing. Not only that, but I've come be more skeptical since Lightfall dropped. So if the Final Shape is TRULY incredible, I would need to see it to believe it.
    Granted, the free content is amazing, and I - quite frankly - suspect that the Devs pushed to make that happen, despite their higher-ups needing some... convincing. As such, despite the fact the I actually DID get Lightfall and played it like a madman when it came out, I have to step away from the game by the time The Final Shape comes out. Thanks for the vid tho.

      Why $120? If you are on PS, everything except Final Shape is free (legacy pack for a month, Lightfall on PS+ for may)
      If you actually want to purchase the Legacy collection, its discounted to $12 on PSN too.
      If you are on PC, you can also wait for the inevitable discounts that they always do that should match or improve those PSN prices.
      For all intents and purposes, you can get everything before Final Shape eitjer for free or for around $20-25

      @@Estarvia That is very true! however, there's not really a point to grinding those free activities that will inevitably get very boring without some form of final shape based content to have access to. that's kinda what i had in the back of mind while i was typing that i guess.
      As for the drop in price on PC... If that happens soon enough, I hope it's significant enough for me to be willing to play once more, without feeling stressed out and needing to get my money's worth.

    Fat chance. I've been burned too many times at this point.
    I get the sentiment, I truly do because I'm one of those guys who quit ages ago but still keeps up with the game's news because deep down there is a part of Destiny that I still love. I'll choose to wait a month after launch because time and time again Bungie has shown that they place a lower level of care and attention to the parts of the game that I do care about (story + PVP) despite promising the moon and under-delivering every time. I don't mind waiting for the dust to settle even if it means missing out on the current content they're offering because I don't want to get burned again.

  • @KiraDenys

    With 974.4 hrs on record, I just can't do it... I wanted to love Destiny, but the constantly shifting power level, RNG FOMO, removal of content, and the neutering of all the gear that I had accumulated, left such a bad taste in my mouth, that when I last reinstalled Destiny, I just couldn't do it. Every time I sat down and tried to play, I kept asking my self what's the point. Every thing that I do is just going to be made worthless next time they release an update.

      The player count on Steam is WAY up. From January to March the average player count each month didn't go above 39 thousand. Not great numbers. Then Into the Light hits and the player count almost doubles, the average amount of players in April was 60 thousand. I'd imagine similar gains happened on other platforms too.

  • @danielle8622
    @danielle8622 11 дней назад +4

    Destiny 2 has turned into the video game equivalent of the "there's too much fucking shit on me" scene from I Think You Should Leave. I played D1 and then D2 non-stop up until about two years ago, and since then I've tried a handful of times to come back to D2 and... it's just too much. When the game has become overwhelming to return to after a long break even for someone who had thousands of hours played, that seems like a major problem. And power level isn't even the reason for it. When you stop playing, you lose that momentum of being up to date with everything and understanding every aspect of the game. I miss my time with Destiny and would love to be able to jump back in for a bit here and there, but it's become too tedious and annoying. Maybe if vault space wasn't limited I wouldn't feel so much anxiety logging back in to a full vault and not knowing what to do with it because I don't know what the fuck anything is anymore so I just run around the tower for a few minutes and then log out.

    With the final shape coming out in a month is buying the lightfall annual pass worth it? It's currently on sale right now and I thought it was a good opportunity to get back into the game. I stopped playing when Witch Queen came out because I didn't have the money at the time and I haven't played till recently. I tried to come back recently but wasn't even able to do a strike because I needed to buy a dlc and got stomped in pvp by all the new gear. I was just wondering if it was worth buying knowing a new dlc is coming soon and I likely won't have the money to buy that one either also with all the negative reviews on lightfall I'm just pretty lost on what to do

    @MasterMLG07 26 дней назад +7

    Returning players and new players are gonna be completely different experiences. Bungie still seems to have missed the memo on how to make a tutorial and the only way to really get decent at the game in this stage is to delve into the community outside the game itself, learn the lingo and find out basic mechanics the game never even hints at. Those returning left for a reason, and to each their own, but i know for a fact a lot left because they were sick of being spammed with advertizing for ingame purchases that ultimately give you mid performance and play experience, then later finding out the one bit of content that wasnt pushed gives pay-to-win tier loot that is now meta. Bungie cant really add anything to the game that will change that because its a result of the corporate business model. Also the fact that they dumped the first two years of content in the trash despite selling nostalgia... theres really only one way to fix that mistake.

I quit until Witch Queen because the free content added was awesome and after paying for awhile I purchased and enjoyed the Witch Queen and thought lightfall looked good.
