The one thing bungie does right is tweak as time goes on. They will tweak this and improve it over time. Great start and will only get better long term.
My Opinion Campaign is great Multiple exotic quest ? .. No , you will need the season pass as well as the Deluxe edition to get the rest , except the Parasite exotic grenade launcher Raid, best Boss Weapon crafting, too grindy (enhanced traits) plus you need to obtain 3 aspects of the same weapon(red bar) in order to finally craft the weapon Power score leveling is as decent as always but harder to get your hands on pinnacle loot PVP:- they did manage to re-introduce a few maps that were vaulted during beyond light Gambit:- it is much more forgiving and balanced as compared to what it was before witch queen ( now you can fight against invaders easily)
@@JAEDYN-ON-TIKTOK yeah, we don't know if it's King's Fall yet. We just know one of the D1 raids are coming back this year, and we definitely know that it isn't Crota's End. That leaves Wrath and King's Fall soooo, we'll just wait and see. Lowkey hope it's Wrath though.
Destiny 2 is still hands down the best feeling shooter ever made Edit: after the airborne effectiveness changes, sadly this is definitely not the case anymore 😂
@@RedDeath2001 you both have clearly never played the game, nor played any recent cod, the new battlefield, or any other first person shooter released in the last 5 years. Y’all goofy 😂
There actually has been a lot of work done with Crucible foundationally and they made the end game Trials of Osiris game mode into the best it has ever been in Season 15. Through out last year they added several balancing changes to all the subclasses and weapons to help create a better foundation for pvp. With the launch of Witch Queen they have updated Vostok and Eternity to work with their new engine and so those maps are now in the crucible playlist. They’ve also promised a brand new map in Season 17 which will be the first season after Witch Queen. They’ve also mentioned multiple new game modes in the works for the rest of 2022 including Rift being one of them. The Gambit balance for Witch Queen changes have also made the game mode a lot more fun and not frustrating to play like it has been in the past and they also added Gambit engrams so you can focus specific Gambit Weapons.
yeah its not that there's no new maps and modes but rather they've been working on changes both to the core ecosystem and loot chase in the activities before throwing in a bunch of new stuff, new Gambit maps wouldn't be appreciated if the mode stayed as unfun as it was. Same goes for Crucible, would anyone care to play Rift on a new map if everyone is able to fly around the map at the speed of light they can right now?
The grind is really what keeps Destiny playable, putting in all the hours for a specific roll or stat roll for your build etc. I’m talking before we even knew a story that’s what we Day 1 D1 players did. Grind levels and rolls before they started putting the story on display like it is now. This is the best state of Destiny as a franchise. One of these seasons will be dedicated to PVP.
They have said more maps are coming next season and in the future, and that they want pvp players to experience the same amount of predictive roll outs that pve players expect. The expansion has only just begun!
Destiny 2 is one of the greatest games ever made, movements feels fluid the challenging PVE and competitive pvp…. But is it worth the 300 dollars I’ve spent on DLC no by far the most expensive game
It looks and sounds awesome and Bungie is great at world building. But if the rest of the game, which is where you spend the majority of your time, is still treated as a minimum viable product: Nope. That’s not worth it. Not for that price tag. Happy to watch some lore video with all the cutscenes on YT.
Didn't mention the gambit rework (which makes it better), Void 3.0 (which makes it better), or the crucible maps that were brought back (Vostok and whatever the other was)
Best dlc pack in a while? Well hot damn, time to whip out the old credit card and fire up steam or where ever the game is found now since they'd split with blizzard. Will this come with the light dlc and haunted moon?
Maybe, but you'll have a hard time following what's going on, and you can forget about connecting elements of the deeper lore. Fortunately, there are a few terrific TH-camrs who focus on the lore and could get you up to speed.
Gonna be honest my eyes roll when people complain about a little bit of grinding in an MMO RPG. Like what were you expecting? If anything Destiny is less grindy compared to other MMOs. Like the weapon crafting grind is not bad as long as you are willing to invest time into the gun, it should have some effort put into it
I’m surprised people are still playing this. Especially when they keep charging there players an arm and a leg a first only to make it super cheap in a year.
wdym every game gets cheaper after a year lmao. better than spending full price every year on games like cod and fifa just to restart all your progress.
Im not asking to be taken seriously. It’s just old man screaming at clouds. But if you wanna go back every one of my comments on every ign review then it’ll be hard to argue that I’m not wrong with every grievance that I’ve brought to the table.
But you speak from the perspective of someone who has either not played the game at all, or not played the game in a long time. You complain about the pricing of expansions but what happens when the expansion is WORTH the price? This expansion is worth the price in terms of content even though some past expansions have not been worth it
So it's the best expansion they've ever made? But you score it lower than the other one??? Wtf? Typical IGN and yall wonder why we don't trust your reviews
As someone who really only plays PVE, this was a 9/10 for me. Only brought down by the finickiness of weapon crafting
The one thing bungie does right is tweak as time goes on. They will tweak this and improve it over time. Great start and will only get better long term.
8.9...gambit
It’s was a 7/10 for me
Facts
Finicky? As far as weapon crafting goes. It could be considered oversimplified.
Best Expansion since Forsaken. 10 hour campaign, multiple exotic quests, 9/10 Raid, weapon crafting, streamlined leveling, its been an amazing time.
Lol
My Opinion
Campaign is great
Multiple exotic quest ? .. No , you will need the season pass as well as the Deluxe edition to get the rest , except the Parasite exotic grenade launcher
Raid, best Boss
Weapon crafting, too grindy (enhanced traits) plus you need to obtain 3 aspects of the same weapon(red bar) in order to finally craft the weapon
Power score leveling is as decent as always but harder to get your hands on pinnacle loot
PVP:- they did manage to re-introduce a few maps that were vaulted during beyond light
Gambit:- it is much more forgiving and balanced as compared to what it was before witch queen ( now you can fight against invaders easily)
It’s only a 10 hour campaign if you play legendary with a fire team, solo legendary is about 5 hours and normal you can fly through in just 3 haha
no world drop exotics😢
Its better than forsaken
The Legendary Campaign was one of the best times I've had in a game in years. Bungie really did a great job.
Simple minds are easy to please
Indeed indeed
For a 4 encounter raid its pretty damn great! That being said...I'm really dying for a new 5+ encounter raid like vog, kings fall and last wish.
Well kings fall is coming back

Lore, exploration, raid, art design, gameplay... 9/10
Weapon crafting, materials, xp grind, PvP and Gambit 4/10
There is no way that was legendary game play with how quick those light hive bastards were dying. Idk maybe I'm just bad. 😅
It might've been in the Strike
They die pretty quick if you are doing solo..3 players they become bullet sponge

Ima day 1 D1 is it worth coming back
Stories certainly given fans a lot to think about, best expansion of the game
6:40 what smg was that? Is that scope on an ornament? Because it looks incredible.
Forensic nightmare
Honestly the recoil is manageable on it too, im liking it
No ornament needed. They’ve basically got rid of legendary ornaments in favor of better base weappns
IGN: "With this expansion Destiny 2 is the best it's ever been. 8/10"
Also IGN: Destiny 2 base game - 8.5 .....
Why even make words...
This game will never compare to destiny 1 yeah it came out with alot of problems....but the experience was worth it
Destiny 1 was amazing
That reference at 4:41.
Nice
He actually pronounced "Savathun" correctly
*Savathûn
4:40 Nice little callout to Datto's clan, assuming that was on purpose!
It really got me back into the game and all of my friends.
Haven't got it yet but getting it around the end of this month
Ironically, one of the biggest D2 expansions, is also one of the best expansions to respect your time.
BuutT dEeStIInY iS A DeeEaD GaMmE!
They have said more maps are coming next season and in the future, and that they want pvp players to experience the same amount of predictive roll outs that pve players expect. The expansion has only just begun!
Also they kept their promise by bringing back two vaulted maps
There better be a pyramid themed pvp map
Or a snow map from europa
They gave the thing an 8/10
Which is what.. a 5 for any non-Bungie game?
This is one of the better expansions for d2 ut taken king is hands down the best
Destiny 2 is one of the greatest games ever made, movements feels fluid the challenging PVE and competitive pvp…. But is it worth the 300 dollars I’ve spent on DLC no by far the most expensive game
Don’t ask yourself only how much money you’ve spent, compare that to the number of hours spent in game.
300 dollars for the 1500 hours I've spent in game with friends seems like a pretty sweet deal.
Destiny is not one of the greatest games ever made lmao. Otherwise bungie wouldnt need vicarious visions and activision to save them with forsaken..
What smg was he using @1:50
Osteo striga
What's the background music used at the very start?
its 2022, can we PLEASE get them videos in 4K please ?!?!
5-6 hours on Legendary?
Why is he lying?

6:45 Didn’t gambit get completely revamped?
Ehh, it wasn’t a great rework.
They didn't do a lot with Crucible, but we did get 2 crucible maps back that uses to be there AND Gambits rework is a HUGE improvement

40 dollars for 5 hours of story? No multiplayer maps? More grind? Destiny players have set the bar low.

no

This game could have been so much better if they made the story longer. Most people like a great story/campaign.
Story was top tier best since taken king
The taken king was potentially my favourite expansion of any game I’ve ever played
Wasn't the whole point of random rolls coming back because people wanted a grind? So why would they design weapon crafting to take that away?
Trust me the grind is not gone

Yes
For me no

12h campaign* It’s a lot longer than any other expansion campaign
This game looks solid.
D2 is so under rated. But the only ones who don't like it are the same that is tp cheap to buy packs

6 - 10 hours of campaign doesn't seem like a lot of content.
