Destiny 2... It's a coming!

TBH there is a lot of content - and more to come. A lot of these YouTubers blow through the game as fast as they can and end up completing it all thus causing them to moan about how little content there is.

I've played 84 hours over 3 characters and not touched the raid or prestige nightfall. My characters are 294, 293 and 292.

If you like rinse and repeat games (Division etc) then you'll love it.
 
There is probably enough content to say for a complete game but for a mmo-esqe game it is very short on content.

As you mention above WildWayz that is the problem with the game, you have spent 84 hours over 3 characters, which means A LOT of repeated content, why 3 characters?! That is one of the game biggest flaws for me you are supposed to "Become Legend" not 3 legends...

I'll still enjoy the game for what it is but I find it a struggle to be treated as a MMO or a daily MP grind unless you are really into PVP as the PVE content really isn't there to facilitate that level of replay ability. For anyone who is on the fence or wants a more expanded MP grind I would suggest waiting a year or two and picking up the complete edition which will come with 2-3 additional raids, a bunch more story content, strikes and gear to grind through. There is good chance it will make the lower levels even quicker to burn through and a lot less rewarding.

From what I've said about you have to take into account most core players playing the game are trying to min max as much as possible so will burn through the content quicker than the average player so if you want you game time to be more prorogued I'd advise not to read guides on how to stock pile gear to level up quicker.

This is exactly right, it depends on how much time you put into the game and if you want to explore. If you use a guide to sprint through the content then you will get bored - but if you do the main story and side missions plus all the public events across each planet then it has a lot of content - raids are fun, crucible is fun and the nightfall strikes are a good laugh and can be very challenging trying to figure it out with your fireteam.

Ignore half the youtube muppets who play it for 70 hours a week then after 3 weeks say it has no content, it has plenty on offer.

If you like FPS + sci-fi and can get over the fact you can't insta kill every enemy, then this is a fantastic game - the beta did not show much of the game at all.
 
Luckily, as I dont view it as an MMO (because it plainly isnt an MMO) , I'm not expecting MMO levels of content, so hopefully that will be an advantage for me.
 
I thought i'd look at the DestinyTheGame sub-reddit... It's not positive speaking. Lots are saying how D1 is the better game.

I'm worried. Destiny was my favourite game in years and I was so excited to see it coming to PC. But I'm now worried it wont measure up to D1.

My main take away from playing it on PS4 is that its a sequel to Vanilla D1 not D1 plus all the improvements and dlc. It will get better with time but its not on year 3 D1 level just yet.

I hope so. Just a shame it couldn't build off of Y3.

My main concern, and it might mean nothing once I start playing, is static armour and gun loadouts. Guns having unique rolls made getting loot a bit more interesting each time - would you get a scout rifle with firefly and outlaw this time or will it have useless perks? That was part of the fun, for me. As was trying to get my armour to match my play-style. Lost count of how many times I rolled armour to get scout rifle buffs along with decent INT/DIS scores.

Now it seems a lot more limiting and that is a shame.

didnt it take dlc and time to make D1 the game it is?

I don't have a problem with removing the pointless RNG nature of armour/gun rolls to the extent there is more of it. The problem is they've removed the RNG but then only included a handful of uniques which eventually means people running around with largely the same sets. This will undoubtedly improve with time/content etc. but it is annoying that this wasn't though about from the get go.

I don't necessarily agree with this line of thought...bungie have the knowledge and experience of the dev team at year 3 D1 and haven't really pushed on that much. D2 vanilla in my eyes is a step up on D1 vanilla but I think a lot of the griping is people expecting there to be more to D2 given the level D1 ended at. I don't think that's unrealistic expectations and people are disappointed on that basis. That being said it will undoubtedly improve.

I agree but would image they have a dlc schedule to stick to that will flesh out the game, seems to be the way with gaming today
 
I'm sure in a few weeks whilst I'm playing these wont even be issues. Just crazy to see so many people claiming to be returning to D1.
 
They won't.

Some people moan and over exaggerate issues just because.

Destiny 1 was pretty dire on release with very little content and leveling was a huge grind replaying the same limited bits that were available - it was still fun for those that have patience, doing it with a group of mates, but it took a long time to become what we see now.

Is d2 perfect? Far from it but the game is in a good place, it has a lot of content for casuals (less so for those that want to power through it) but still a decent amount that can be built upon. More guns/stikes...etc will be added in the not to distant future.

As for static items, it's a good thing in my opinion, less RNJesus.
 
I was really excited to get this when it hits pc but now that it's been out elsewhere a while, my hype has dipped somewhat. Seeing more negative opinions as time has gone but in that first week people seemed to be loving it.

I'm a casual player these days so I'm sure I'll have enough content to keep me going.

Still not ordered it , just Mario is out on the same day and I don't think I can justify both. But destiny feels like a game I could feel left behind in if I start too long after pc launch

tbh i don't know how it's going to play on pc. there should be better players playing it too. it was a game built for controllers. content has always been the downside. it's extremely repetitive. you do everything at least a hundred times over in PvE. at least in PvP it's different every game due to who you are matched up against.
 
Its obviously going to play well on the PC, the beta has already proven that. It was built for controllers because it was a console release but its still an FPS game and FPS games play better with a m&k.

Actually you don't need to do everything a hundred times over, some will play the campaign/do the side quests get get 10/15 hours out of it and call it a day. It only goes into repetition if you want to do nightfall and prep for the raid (something only a small % of players ended up doing previously) which even then can be knocked out in a few hours each week going for powerful engrams.

Stop posting bad information as you always do.

I'm one of the dirty few that also understand its a game originally designed around controllers and that's how I intend to play it, for pve atleast. I probably won't touch PvP

Just on the fence now whereas if it launched at the same time I would have been on board no question

obvious fanboy is obvious.

well you need to do the nightfall if you want the best stuff. in order to do the nightfall you need to have a decent enough light level and weapons. in order to be a decent enough light level and have decent weapons you need to do stuff over and over again. same goes for the raid.

it's not bad information i played destiny 1 a lot more than the average player so i know what i'm talking about. it's always had a serious lack of content. the content it does have it keeps alive by tweaking it slightly then making you play it every week with different modifiers or enemies. the taken king was just all the same content with different enemies/skins.

like you said yourself it has 10-15 hours worth of content. i wouldn't say that is a lot. raids for the first few weeks take longer than a couple of hours too. you need a competent team. I've been in groups where we could do 3 raids inside a couple of hours. then in groups that couldn't do a quarter of a raid inside 4 hours.
 
Fanboy because I called you out? You constantly spout bad information across these forums though, you give your opinion as fact when it isn't.

What has you playing destiny 1 got to do with this conversation? Nothing, so you don't know what you are talking about.

In destiny 2, you don't need to do the nightfalls, its 1 of many ways to get the powerful engrams. Nightfalls will be for semi coordinated groups, same for the raid.

As I said, if you are smart about the way you level, you hardly have to grind at all in destiny 2 the only bit you might have to repeat in the short term is some public events (which are quick, fun and seamless unless the massive chore they were previously) when the weekly challenges reset and powerful engrams become available again then you can knock those out quickly - public events/strikes/crucible and nightfall if you so wish.

If you choose to blast through everything then no, this doesn't offer a massive amount unique of content (this isnt an MMO) it offers a reasonable amount, far greater than the first - I don't think I've ever seen anyone say this is going to have 100+ hours work of unique stuff to do? Thats rhetorical, I don't want you to come back with another sassy 2004 interweb insult.
