Destiny 2. Its such a toothless, soulless game. There’s no message, no meaningful story since its a live service, nothing changes in the world as far as i can tell, the themes are all over the place, and, this one is personal, the artstyle is so sterile and corporate. There’s no bite, no edge, nothing that hooks me in to this world. Sure the gunplay is good, but the gameplay is bogged down by just bloated rpg mechanics and loot mechanics, and i need more than gunplay, i need an interesting atmosphere or characters. Risk of Rain is a good example of having great gameplay, mixed with a great atmosphere and intriguing world. Its darkly humorous, it’s over the top, its lonely at times, it has bite and character.
Edit: Maybe im a little bit of a hypocrite, because one of my timesink games is Elite Dangerous, but i think that artstyle blows Destiny 2 out of the water.
I played destiny 1 to death. Loved that game and the expansions were all great quality and genuinely made the game better.
Destiny 2 came out and i felt like it was over. I gave it a good go but the fun was just not there. The worlds were boring, the level or RPG from the outset was way too high. The problem they had was resetting the progress of players who had the first game down toa science and then dropping you in to a new game which is immediately massively convoluted with relic this, augment that, skill tree this, weapon mod that. It was too complex and gave me anxiety trying to work out what the best loadout was and then everything i spent time working out was null and void cone the next expansion.
Destiny 1 was amazing. Destiny 2 was a dumpster fire.
Similar thing happened to overwatch. 1 was addictive and rewarding. 2 was a cashgrab and not even close to what was promised.

Right?
I played the hell out of ME3MP. I played some Warframe. I get the “PVE shooter zen”
But WTF. Everything I see and read about Destiny 2 sounds infuriating, and I can’t comprehend why people put up with it.

ME3MP was so dope. I would have loved if they had included it in the legendary edition.
It was just about perfect. Andromeda’s MP wasn’t even bad, but somehow not in that sweet spot.
ME3MP is still active, too. You can find public lobbies, and there are organized events.
It’s such a threadmil game. They took the worst parts of wow and put a gun in.
