D2 was so very great at the start, but as one has worn on we see all the flaws and mistakes and how it really isn’t even quite as much game as the origina
I think personally at least, I’m still satisfied with a lot of the changes they made. as a foundation, the game itself feels stronger than vanilla destiny did in a lot of ways. they’ve made a lot of gameplay missteps too that I could rant about for ages, but if they build upon what they have and bring back a lot of the improvements added in year 3 then I think (hope?) the game will start to pick up again.
but yea I still agree with you. as fun as the game can be to play, and as fun as some of the characters and areas and encounters can be, there’s little to no emotional incentive to go back to it each week, which is problematic for a game thats designed to make us want to keep playing.
it just seems like they underestimated the extent to which people wanted that lore in the background to give the game a sort of Greater Intrigue or greater meaning. without anything like that holding the game up, the flaws and the issues become that much more glaring
