as it turns out you don't need tornadoes, or other gimmicks, to have a very satisfying "battlefield" experience.

10/10

First off, loved the 1997 film.. beyond the nostalgia, there's a husk of a framework here that barely performs as a glorified tech demo.

The game is just awful, I wouldn't want to play it even if were free:
-guns feel really rigid and unsatisfying
-the building is really clunky

I don't even feel like elaborating any more as to why this game is a waste of space.. it's just bad. I don't think there's a way to redeem this game, developmentally, on any level given it's current state.

The only reasonable explanation is that Bungie has to be diverting developmental resources elsewhere, because this is just not "it".. not by a long shot.

The campaign was abysmal, "legendary" difficulty was an absolute joke until the Calus fight, which felt like an unreasonable increase in difficulty. The only time the campaign was challenging was when I was forced to use the strand subclass.

Neomuna as a destination just feels completely dead, I'm really not looking forward to playing the next 4 seasons in this lifeless neon futurescape.

In regards to the multitude of changes in UI, mods, loadouts, commendations, etc... there's a lot to cover. I'm pretty indifferent to the UI changes, but otherwise..

For mods: they've both neutered and condensed the whole system.. elemental well mods were great and what I primarily ran.. they've condensed both "charge with light" & "well" mods into a singular "armor charge" system that feels weaker than both of its predecessors. Maybe it's more flexible and easier to understand for new players? Not sure why this system needed overhauling.

Loadouts: This is mostly a welcome change, but why lock additional loadout slots behind "guardian rank" challenges?

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Quite a learning curve for new players to understand the game and its many systems, mechanics, synergies, etc. But, if you have the patience to learn, and better yet, actual friends willing to play with you.. there's a lot of fun to be had here. Seasonal content can be really hit or miss, but all of the endgame activities feel really solid. Though, most of the best content is locked behind a paywall, so unless you AND all your friends pony up for the DLC and their respective season passes, don't expect to have the time of your life with a F2P account.

Destiny 2 LFG [d2lfg.com] Discord membership should be mandatory!

While the concept of the game seems interesting in theory, the gameplay just doesn't do it for me. Playing as Julianna was probably the highlight for me, but 75% of matchmade games I experienced "rubber-banding" so bad that my game turned into a sickening slideshow and was easily dispatched by the enemy Colts; very frustrating!

Prey was a great game, but Arkane really disappointed me with Deathloop 🖕
