AAA companies releasing games that are basically early-access with zero thought or content.
AND just to put the salt on the wound, adding content that SHOULD have already been integrated with the core of the game, as purchasable DLC.
We, (speaking for just myself really), want a full complete game, that’s all we’re really asking for.
I have never forgiven Destiny for ending the base game when the storyline was just getting good.
Can’t believe they then hid the rest of the story behind dlc. Like a game should ship with a beginning, middle and end and only enhance the story more with new branches in dlc.
What’s ironic is that for the last few years they’ve even been removing so much of the older content that by the time they do release the final expansion new players will only be able to experience the last quarter of Destiny’s story.
That was a big issue for me when I was trying to get my friend to play destiny 2 with me. So much of the story is locked behind dlc and/or relies on you having played the game consistently for the past 6 years to experience everything as it releases so you can be up to date on the confusing story or new currency/leveling system
I tried to play 4 years ago cause some friends had been playing for a while. There was a token intro quest then it just... drops you in the hub world. I tried following what I guessed was a quest chain, but when I got down to the planet there was just a constant stream of events and invasions and just so much noise. I had no context for anything and didn't know what was necessary to do or not. I played for 90 minutes and never booted the game up again.
A friend of mine explained that the devs cleared content because console players can't be expected to have all the data installed on their systems. Which like, that makes sense, but there's gotta be a better solution.
I tapped out after the second armor rework that they didnt grandfather older sets in to, not grinding for my outfit again, cant do it Bungee.
