IBTimes UK | I love Destiny. It's somehow managed to bypass the cynical, suspicious-of-AAA, fed up with standard game design part of my brain and plug into a tiny, flickering synapse somewhere that still gets off on finding loot and collecting points. I don't know how it's happened – maybe it's because, on PS4, Destiny looks incredible – but this game has got to me. I can see all of it's little ploys in action, all that grubby meat and potatoes design, just trying to drag me in for one more hour, but I don't care. It's beaten me. I just want to play it.
Bungie - "Join our development team to see the new updates arriving with Destiny 2: The Final Shape. Releasing on June 4, 2024."
Amid ongoing anxiety within Bungie following layoffs last year, the studio is now preparing for another shakeup, this time on Marathon.
Talk about mismanaged Bungie is a studio of tremendous potential and have made some of the greatest shooters to date. Sony pushed them to just make another Destiny style game and consult on other studios live service games and are now getting thrown under a bus as the pivot away from predominantly gaas games is unfolding.
I'd love to see a world where Bungie can focus on telling great sci fi stories again away from a live service dungeon but we all know that's a pipe dream
This studio has had three owners and its never worked well with any of them....Management has issues
Destiny 2’s game director Joe Blackburn is stepping down ahead of The Final Shape, leaving Tyson Green to take the reins of the PS5 and Xbox FPS.
As someone who bought every story DLC for DESTINY 2 but not every season. the first thing I would do as game director is , if anybody pre-orders The ?Final Shape , they will be able to play all older DLC and seasons with purchase of FINAL SHAPE. . I think that would bring back a lot of DESTINY 2 plsyers who have not experienced the seasons a chance to play season activities before Final Shape comes out.
well its much less likely to be goty now,
despite being loads of fun.the repetitive missions are definitely holding it back
Overall it could have been sooo much better but with friends it's fun and addictive, alone not so much.
Given the highly repetitive mission design, weak story, and utter lack of environment (Mars looks all the same, Venus looks all the same, Earth looks all the same instead of a waterfall here, a frozen section there, a mountain over there, etc.). I doubt much of the $500 million budget went towards making the game and not marketing.
Good enough.
I'd say 8/10 is right for this. The graphics are great on ps4 its a good social game but repetitive of course like any other fps game out there.. But you know the real games are out next year that's what I'm waiting for :)
how was this ever going to be GOTY? it's a reskinned Halo with a shittier story...no real protagonist and horrible character designs that just look confusing and idiotic, IMO.
So generic.
