Destiny 2.
Incredibly engaging loop, great gunplay/moment to moment gameplay, and an intriguing story that keeps me interested to see what will happen next.
Loaded with micro (and macro) transactions and time gating of reused content as the game approaches it's conclusion and Bungie prepares it's next project for launch (this project also highlighting the poor state the PvP section of the game is in.).
Again, so much of my time has been spent in Destiny 2 and a good majority of it I've personally enjoyed. But when asked this question it's my go-to answer to advise people to steer clear if possible.
Ha, I was just about to say the same exact thing. I've played around 4000 hours of the game because I love the core of the game, but as time goes on so many bad decisions just keep getting put on, and I've finally hit my point where I'm just checking out from it for a bit.
I've hoped on every now and then for either the seasonal story (which has wrapped up) or when a friend asks me to, but otherwise... It's time for my break. When everyone else in my clan had their breaks (Season of the Drifter comes to mind...) I continued to play, but not this time.
Their use of FOMO and timed content really worked against it for me. The new player experience now is just awful. I tried it a while ago. I played for 4 hours, and I had no idea what I should have been doing. I feel like that's a fair shake, and I gave up on it.
Don't forget about increasing the price of each season battle pass by just enough silver so you're forced to buy more silver than what you need. No new Gambit or PvP maps. Pay walling almost any "new" content (dungeon keys). I could keep going. But hey the seasonal story writing has been amazing.
I literally feel we're funding Marathon.
Looks like it's the same thread and I double posted haha
