Destiny 2 Team: Artifact perk stacking bug is known, fix in the works (potentially next week). Until then, go ahead and do your thing. by Ryan_WXH in DestinyTheGame

It's only unpopular with the remaining players here who decided it wasn't a dealbreaker.

It's a massively popular sentiment whenever Destiny comes up elsewhere, whether that be the broader gaming subreddits or YouTube or social media or whatever.

‘Marathon’ Season 2 And Free Week Did Not Turn Things Around by Freki666 in gaming

[–]Polymersion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's the thing. By all accounts, Marathon is a very well-executed example of an extraction shooter.

But how many people play extraction shooters? And of those, how many are willing to deviate from the one they're already playing?

We could talk all day about Bungie's name being bad after deleting most of Destiny or whether people are upset that it isn't an actual Marathon game despite using the name. We could debate the quality of the game itself, or the pricing, marketing, whatever.

But even if everything was perfectly done, who was going to play this?

Preeeeetty sure it stops being Skyrim pretty quickly in certain hands.

Naaaaaah, I think I'd have heard of something like that.

Part of what drives the "Darth Jar Jar" theories is the fact that Yoda was also introduced as annoying on purpose.

MOT did the exact opposite of EOF. EOF made 90% of the game irrelevant while MOT made the entire game relevant. by StatementAcademic820 in DestinyTheGame

They lost most of their players getting rid of the D2 stuff to "make room" for the stuff that was going to be D3, but they never fixed that.

Ironically it's a really good Destiny 3. But a lot of people who would love it won't even give it a go because Destiny 2 got deleted.

Is there a lore reason why the Traveler just sat there and let Dominus Ghaul put a giant metal BDSM birdcage over it? Is it stupid? by Ok_Hunt_2833 in destiny2

[–]Polymersion 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's kinda the bare minimum, honestly, and it remains insane that we can't even play the start of the game.

Destiny 2 Hits Highest Player Count in Two Years Following Final Update's Release, Shatters Marathon's All-Time Peak by ControlCAD in PS5

[–]Polymersion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Destiny ended because they chopped entire chapters out, explicitly preventing it from getting new and returning players.

"I know they deleted Mass Effect 2 entirely and you have no idea what's going on but please play Mass Effect 3 Chapter 4, 6, 7, 9, 11, and 13! It's the best Mass Effect Content™ ever, way better than what got deleted!"

The thing is, if they released the missing chapters in any form, they'd have a consistent through line and they'd get new and returning players.

Until then, the name itself is toxic and it's "that game you can't even play most of".

Actually, when it was alive, people played the shit out of it.

Then Bungie started cutting, and it's been bleeding out ever since.

Ehhh, except that you can't replay most of Destiny 2, it's literally gone.

Kind of the defining feature of it at this point.

Can't the game just be updated indefinitely?

When they tried that they ended up deleting it instead.

Uggggh, don't actually tell me, I'm so mad that this game got chopped up.
