Some games from the past play a lot worse in hindsight than others. What recent, decently-liked video games do you expect to suffer this curse?

Does Destiny 2 still count if it keeps releasing expansions?

The Live-Service model should be consigned to the dustbin of history

That being said, Destiny is one of my favorite games

Truly, spoken like a Guardian

I went back to Warframe after Bungie just kept mutilating the Crucible

What?

You don't like dying to some guy named FartDong(Stinky) who crawled into a loose chunk of scenery to two-tap you with a gold plated Trials gun that's gonna get nerfed to shit in a week, somehow causing the cycle to repeat itself?

Oh that wasn't the issue at all, even if I never was gonna be a punched ticket to the Lighthouse; I was a dirty Nightstalker who ran Oathkeep/Monarque. No, tearing out all the Freelance modes, adding Rift to comp, and the broke-dick rework of the 'ranking' system they implemented was what got me to write it off.

Played the living shit out of warframe but never tried destiny despite the comparisons, is it worth at least a shot?

fwiw I give precisely zero fucks about pvp

The raids are great, the PvP is shit, the non-raid PvE stuff gets old super fast. It also still has an absurdly bad new player experience. As someone with thousands of hours in D2 I really cannot recommend picking it up unless you already have a good static group for it to do the actually fun content with, because LFGing for that sucks hard.

Yeah I don't know anyone who plays and don't wanna bother with a new group for the good shit, so sounds like a pass

Thanks!

At this point no. The cost to on-ramp and stay invested is just too high at this point, and the story's damned near over. + Bungie's on some weird, probably Sony-directed bullshit to the point that they really blamed the playerbase recently for their layoff issue. Something about 'the playerbase isn't spending enough'.
