Destiny 2 Isn't The Problem, Its Players Are | Aztecross Reacts

i love how they mention guardian ranks being free, but dont mention it is definitely not free up past rank 6 lol

"I wasn't really blown away by the death of Amanda." She was.

I love articles like this, completely written from a single perspective seemingly not even trying to see outside that viewpoints.

It baffles me how some people don’t understand how you can like something and still be critical of it’s flaws.

Calling Amanda a "core character" is absolutely hilarious, she was a tertiary character and that's being generous

I like how NONE Of the downsides were mentioned, like barrier to entry for the full experience when on sale or when not on sale which is about $180. The price increase to the seasons, the recycled content, etc. This was such a pick and choose piece.

For each positive point mentioned in this article, I can point out half a dozen problems. Granted, none of them are big and game breaking but instead small frustrations. These small problems have been piling up over the years, hundreds of them, until they've finally tipped the balance. That's the problem. We had enough. We are tired.

I honestly feel like if you buy an armor set you should be able to get it for the other classes for free or at a discount (for silver at least)

"The Traveller is just afraid of commitment!" is probably the best way to describe Destiny lore in a nutshell.

She really threw in patrols as something people do all the time since it’s free. 💀

Gambit prime was so underated, it wasn't perfect by any means, but it was way better than any of the alternatives we've had of the mode, it was more dynamic, it was more objective, it leaned more into the importance of your roll in the match rather than everyone competing amongst their teamates for the motes or the power ammo or the portal. Gambit prime did have it's flaws like how vulnerable your entire team was during the "damage phases" of the prime evil since the entire team needed to be clustered together in a small space to do any significant damage, extremely vulnerable to invasions while also limiting your damage strategy to just mid to long range weapons and supers since you couldn't leave the small area where the damage buff was given. I wish they brought back gambit prime as the definite gambit experience but rework it to remove the negative aspects of it

The issue is that when you buy the deluxe edition and hand over your cash, you expect to have access to the entire content in the game, no questions asked. Instead, the deluxe edition does not cover the event pass, the ornaments, or the new content added to the eververse store. If not everything is included in the deluxe edition, why even call it a deluxe edition in the first place? Imagine if any other game tried doing this, selling you a deluxe edition and then paywalling further content just so that you have to fork out more.

This article drips of "I'm having fun so nobody can criticize this thing that I enjoy because they are obviously wrong" or "I love being a Bungie shill". Maybe it's both, When she made a big deal about Amanda's death saying how Bungie "clapped back" I almost fell out of my chair laughing so hard.

This entire article is the equivalent of the “leave the multi billion dollar company alone…” meme god damn

My biggest gripe has, and always will be, the sense of a lack of cohesion for casual or new players. The storyline feels like a side thought unless you've either A) played the game since launch or B) watched every Byf video. The lack of story mission progression leading players from one expansion to the next makes it feel muddy. Bungie only muddied the waters further by sunsetting the vanilla campaign. I think Bungie would do good to take a small page from the MMO side of the fence and tie everything down to a main character narrative (think the MSQ from FF14, for example). New Lights are given a goal, and during acheiving that goal they get to discover all the other stuff D2 has to offer on the side.

god i could listen to aztecross talk about stuff like this forever. he provides "evidence" of his points, fairly is trying to understand more than just his own view, and isn't wanting to send hate to people who may come off as whack, incorrect, or just not including information because it doesn't fit their narrative. props and love.

As a PvP main, this article has helped me see the error in my ways. The problem isn't one new map in 4 years or SBMM in a connection based game or AE or bad sandboxes going months without significant changes or server crashes or a resurgence of cheaters or lack of crucible loot incentive or other issues that may have a negative effect on the PvP experience; it's totally just my perspective that's wrong. Thank you article for helping me realize the error in my thought patterns. >_>

I've played since early D1, and the only reason I still play is to see where the story goes and to play with my clan. Deep will be the first season where I may not finish the season pass.

Pinnacles should've been made to be exotics, not removed. Hell, Not Forgotten could've just been the catalyst for Luna's Howl that you could toggle on/off (ranged vs cqb).
