The general sentiment among players reflects a nostalgic attachment to the game mixed with frustration over content removal and extensive monetization. While the core gunplay remains highly praised, the current state of Destiny 2 faces criticism for being a tedious grind driven by corporate greed. Many are dismayed by the lack of respect for players' time and previous investments, leaving the game feeling like a hollow shell of its former self.

Positive Points

  • The gunplay in Destiny 2 is often praised as some of the best in the industry, providing satisfying weapon feel and smooth mechanics.
  • Players enjoyed the memorable story and emotional impact of expansions like Forsaken and The Final Shape.
  • Many players found the cooperative and social aspects, such as raids and multiplayer, to provide some of the most rewarding experiences in gaming.

    • Negative Points

  • Bungie's recurring removal of content, including paid DLCs, has led to significant player dissatisfaction.
  • The new power grind and tier system, especially with features like the Portal, have been heavily criticized for making the game tedious and unrewarding.
  • There is a widespread feeling of corporate greed and distrust towards Bungie, exacerbated by monetization strategies and bugs that diminish the player experience.

    • Mixed Points

  • Though the game's lore and storytelling have depth, accessing and understanding it often requires external resources like YouTube recaps due to vaulted content.
  • The aesthetic and design of Destiny 2 are often lauded, yet many desirable cosmetics and gear are locked behind microtransactions, prompting mixed sentiments.

    • Common Themes

  • Nostalgia for earlier days of Destiny before extensive content removal and changes.
  • Frustration with the current monetization model, which locks much of the game's content behind expensive paywalls.
  • Disappointment with the game's current direction, particularly the impact of the Portal and new systems on gameplay.
