Iām thinking about picking it up, Iām definitely not pre ordering, that kill tracker ghost thing really rubs me the wrong way for some reason it just seems really scummy. Tracking your kills should just be in the game not some pre order bonus.
It seems like theyāve fixed the single player issue if so thatās great. Iām not a huge fan of how the guardian is a silent protagonist, I feel like weāve moved past that in video games. I want a character I can get invested in. I feel like Cade-6 is easily the most interesting character in the game probably because heās voiced by an incredibly talented actor in Nathan Fillion. So I just wish I could play as Cade. Also when are the going to add in space battles I want the ship that I earned to mean something and not just a thing to look at during a loading screen.

Picking up my copy on Friday. My biggest issue with the first game was itās poor storytelling, and Iāve heard Destiny 2 has greatly improved in that aspect.
Iāve also been listening to the OST on Bungieās Youtube channel. It is beautiful.

My god youāre right, I want that soundtrack more than the actual game, which I will pick up but itās second on my list of games I should play behind uncharted the lost legacy.

Iām probably about halfway through the campaign, loving it so far. Gameplayās great, and the storyās gripping.

I just picked it up, Iām excited to play it. Itās still updating so I canāt play it.
I think Iām halfway done with the main story, but Iām not sure. Iāve heard itās lengthy, but good. So far the storytelling is leaps and bounds better than the first game, now that half of the plot isnāt being told through cryptic trading cards. I havenāt gotten to the Crucible yet, but the beta had a better balance of gunplay and subclass abilities than the first, too.
My verdict: If you enjoyed the first Destiny, then D2 is a must buy. If not, Iād rent it first to see if the changes Bungie made were enough for you.

They improved every single character except for the one you play as. Iām getting sick of silent protagonists, I honestly think we have moved past that in games.

I genuinely enjoyed this game when it launched. I bought it on impulse a few days after it came out, and I had a great time. It took me a while, but I achieved my perfect style, and thenā¦ I stopped playing. I donāt have the social skills to have done the raid, and after reaching a perfect appearance, I had no motivation left.
I intended to go back when the dlc came out, but then I heard story after story about all the horrible anticonsumer things they doing, and I found myself with very little reason to pick it up again.

I think that is the biggest reason why people arenāt playing it, because theyāve done everything and donāt really want to do anything else. I was considering getting the game but after all Iāve heard I donāt really want to.

I know Destiny has been practically dead lately, but that new trailer is making me consider playing again. RIP Cayde. You will be avenged.
The trailer made me make the switch from D1 to D2.

Is forsaken any good?
them bows
Donāt play destiny but RIP Cayde
So far, forsaken is alright. Itās story is possibly the best one yet (however sine the last four were fecal matter, thatās not saying much). However, I myself am enjoying the new experience so far. Iād suggest waiting a bit to hear someone elseās more in-depth review.
The last three, you mean? ;D
RoI wasnāt as bad as everyone makes it out to be.
As far as Forsaken goes, I could write an essay. What it did right, what it did wrong. The Story is great but the hamfisted handling of Morality felt very off to me, and turned Ghost into one of my least favourite characters in the game (And considering thereās maybe 5 characters totalā¦). The Dreaming City is amazing but I wish theyād advertised it less, the impact of the zone wouldāve been enormous if we didnāt already know it was coming.
On the subject of the Dreaming City, itās everything Iāve ever wanted out of Destiny. A deceptively massive patrol zone with no end of things to do, even if those things are literally jumping on rocks to see if thereās a secret up there. I love it an unreasonable amount and I pray that the next expansion or installment of the series captures this gameplay again - Vast patrol spaces are awesome until you realize there isnāt anything compelling about them and you spend 99 percent of your time running through them to get to the next event.
And donāt even get me started on the Lore. We finally have IN GAME lore, and muh gawd is it everything I ever wanted out of this universe.
The gameplay is amazing, loving the changes made to weapons, so far so ridiculously fun.

With lines like this itās not hard to see why people thought itās story was bad
Story =/= Dialogue.
I never said its Dialogue was amazing. If we go by that metric alone then Thereās a lot of games out there that have terrible stories.
The STORY of RoI in and of itself, that being: The Rise of the New Iron Lords and the SIVA Crisis, was not terrible. was it as good as Taken King? Maybe not, but then Destiny as a whole wasnāt as good as Taken King.
Once again, I could write an essay on what I do and donāt like about Destiny as a whole, the Lore being a like and the Dialogue (or lack thereof) being a dislike. Doesnāt mean the story is bad 
If a good story is conveyed through bad dialogue is it still a good story? While good dialogue can support a bad story, bad dialogue will crash a good one
I would certainly argue a few pieces of bad dialogue in an otherwise solid story donāt make the entire package terrible yes.
Bad Dialogue can certainly detract from a good story, but given the fact that Iāve played Destiny since it Launched Iāll take RoIās occasionally stilted Dialogue over the steaming pile of hot garbage that was The Dark Below.
Besides - an argument can be made that the writing of that line isnāt whatās bad, itās the delivery. In which case, again, detracts from but doesnāt completely ruin. Every movie, TV show, Game, or Book has at bare minimum one terrible line of dialogue, tis just how these things go.
