Destiny 2's Second Expansion, Warmind, Launches in May

I'd honestly like to go back to Destiny 2 but I need a good reason. Obviously I'll jump back in to review this expansion but it'd be nice if I felt like there was more to see and do once it's over.

I will certainly give it a go as I've already paid for it, but atm it's so hard to get excited about anything destiny related. Put over 1000 hours into D1 but D2 was one of my biggest gaming disappointments in almost 30 years of gaming. I do sincerely hope it's good and they can right the ship though.

@ShogunRok The good reason is its your job.

Actually you may know this, I haven't heard ANYONE mention Destiny 2 in some time. Has it pretty much died off?

@YummyHappyPills Playing Destiny 2 is not my job. I nearly added "sadly" to that but I'm not sure I'd want it to be.

And yes, Destiny 2 has fallen off a cliff in general. When streamers and YouTubers who made their name off the back of Destiny are giving up on the game (and in some cases, their livelihood) you know it's rough.

@ShogunRok Well, reviewing the expansion is your job. Unless you want to fob it off, at which point I actually don't blame you at all...

Yeah I wouldn't say that's a bad thing, I've been keeping an ear to the ground on Destiny and....it's a game. It exists.

And wow, that bad huh? What did they move to? PUBG, CoD, other shooters? Man that's got to rough for Bungie. They had an opportunity and it bit them.

I like to believe the only way is up from a low point but I don't really think after this Destiny 2 can rebound. Or even 3.

@YummyHappyPills It's gotten to a point where I don't know what happens to Destiny after this. A third game certainly isn't out of the question but so much goodwill has been lost over the years that you feel like Bungie can't get away with "fooling" people again.

And it'd honestly take a miracle to save Destiny 2 and win back most of the people who quit. The first Destiny had The Taken King, which really did boost the entire game, but the first Destiny was also never in such a ridiculous rut.

It just feels like Destiny 2 has blown one chance too many.

I don't think I have heard anyone get excited by the 2nd expansion the main thing I have heard is Ill play it because i stupidly bought the season pass. Dont think Bungie have much faith in it either as only releasing the trailer a couple weeks before where previous expansions got loads of hype and streams.

@ShogunRok Curse of Osiris felt to me the chance to change things up regarding the Eververse and at least putting things back to how they were in the original.

The original had its own issues, but they didn't correct those in Destiny 2 from the start. It was the same problems and then some on top.

What I see is them paying lip service after the fact but have those promised changes come? Destiny 2 had that chance.

A third game is certainly going to happen but...you only get one shot at redemption. Bungie HAD something, but that's just it: Had.

Well, after the last expansion ill wait and see before getting excited. Last one was a joke.

If Warmind turns out to be like TTK, will fans forget all of D2's problems and forgive Bungie again just like they did with D1?

It's already paid for so I'll give it a go. That said it will probably be like the last Expansion. I'll beat it in one or two sittings and it will go back to collecting dust.

I mean don't get me wrong I enjoyed my time with the game there just isn't enough content to keep me coming back. I have no interest in PVP so any of those updates aren't bringing me back.

im going back to it because i paid for it but will watch carefully to know if i will get dlc3

I'm not a fan of 'Games as a Service' but i do think they should have realised Destiny as a platform and just keep adding to it.
Making long time D1 players give up all their stuff was a big ask, and the changes to the crucible took all the fun out of it. I personally think there was nothing quite like the madness of the D1 crucible at it's best.
I think D2 should have been done as an even bigger then Taken King DLC, and the whole thing just kept as DESTINY. And none of the silly tweaks to gameplay that Bungie did. Ho hum!

I'll likely give it a go at some point as I was dumb enough to buy the expansion pass. I've not actually played since about November though. So sad. What started great was completely undone by Bungo.

I have a solution to get some people to take notice of and play Destiny 2 again:
1. Make the base game and all planned expansions free-to-play.
2. Make the base game and all planned expansions fun-to-play.
3. Throw some ads for Mountain Dew and Little Caesar's pizza in there. Give away a free six-pack of said sugary beverage and a free coupon for the pizza on a scheduled, monthly basis.

Boom. Problem solved

Is it a coincidence that curse and osiris is in the title! Maybe there is a God and destiny's worship of idols took it too far lol! I miss Bungie days of Halo when it was all about sci-fi races and totally out there. Maybe the use of human myths just makes it too 'familiar' and loses the imagination of what sci-fi is all about - new worlds, new races, new friends and foes. Can you imagine Star Wars Jedi faces Odin or Ra or Gaia! Jar jar the demigod of Venus. Or mass effect bringing in merlin. Meh!

@Shepherd_Tallon I may just have to try the division out, been thinking about picking it up for awhile, I don't usually play online games but when I do It might as well be the division....

Sorry for that.

@YummyHappyPills your comments make me feel smarter and smarter each day!!!!

@bbtothe Thanks. I like being degraded evidently.

I bought the expansions at launch but I deleted destiny 2 months back and don't plan on returning, I don't even want to talk about it as it upsetting, to think how good he first one was, played literally everyday day for years and then they bring out the second one and it was so bad, their wasn't even a single new enemy in it just reskins and the dlc was a joke, RIP destiny, can we just pretend the second one never came out and remember it for what it was

The franchise is going to die if they dont change the way they work thats for sure? I do think the monster hunter world approach would work with some dedicated PVP calloptie me old fashioned. 😁

Yeah, they have a roadmap apparently, this week was supposed to be the return of 6v6 Iron Banner; it never happened. It really is an unequalled catalog of disasters isn't it. I paid for the expansion pass, so will play through it, but I'm not hopeful. Rumour has it that they are down to about 300k players worldwide from a start of 3.3 million.; so, only a loss of 3 million players then, lol.
