The last time I played Destiny 2 was when Cayde-6 was killed. Then comes the trailer for the new DLC and I got hyped. Wanted to replay the whole story to get up to speed with it, but what I saw is a massive joke. You can't play older content anymore, even if you have bought it, because Bungie decided to COMPLETELY REMOVE it.

I even created a new character and got thrown into that old tutorial, but every time I logged out and back in, I got a whole ass other intro sequences. First, it was when the Traveler rose up into space, then, after my third login, that bad guy was inside the Traveler or whatever and I had to go to Mars and dive down to that whale thingy.

After that, I just uninstalled it. If Bungie does not give a shit about new or returning players, then I don't give a shit about them.

Destiny was a beautiful game until the Taken King. The original enemies and map design made replaying strikes not a hardship, and while the Taken King had new enemy types, it didn't completely lose the plot.

Basically everything since D2 launched is worse. The levels don't have the same attention to detail, the maps and worldbuilding all feel super generic, and they just churn through the same guns and armor with minor perk changes to take away old ones and lock you into a treadmill, with a grind that's not fun because the content feels like shit they threw against the wall.

Then they take away shit you paid for. I bought the original game happily, and was mildly disappointed, but played occasionally (unlike almost 1k hours in D1). Then I come back later and it's free to play, the content I bought is gone and replaced by trash that's mostly locked behind paywalls. Throw in their "we refuse to allow you to play on Linux because fuck you" and characters and a world that make no sense and play like shit and there's nothing to go back to.
