This game has been dead since beyond light. To actually get all the content it’s somewhere like $300 or more. I think if they went on a standard MMO fee of $15 a month instead of the $15 every 4 months and an expansion every year or two it’d be a lot more reasonable for new players
It depends. If destiny was sub based and all additional content free? I might still recommend it. It plays like an MMO already, why not lean into it? Make players start at zero and play through all the campaigns so they know what’s going on in the story, they have to unlock and learn all the trees, that sort of thing. That would be a damn sight better than dumping new players in at 1250 or whatever base power is and letting them figure it the fuck out themselves. It’d be a bigger time sink, which is what bungo wants anyway, but new players won’t be dumped into a world they know nothing about with no tutorial beyond “press g to throw a grenade.”
The problem is they’re trying to split the difference between a long-play MMO and instant action shooter and only getting the worst of both worlds.
I was so deep into destiny 2, because it’s just fun to play and mess around. I don’t even care for the story much, so the bad lightfall story doesn’t bother me. But still, the game felt really empty to me after that. It’s like something died, and i went from playing pretty much daily to uninstalling it from one day to another.
The biggest problem with this game is the price and how fucking complicated it is. I started playing with friends and we all had no idea what we were doing, so i bought the forsaken and beyond light bundle because it was cheap, my friend bought the 30 year anniversary bundle and my other friend just free to played it. There was nothing for us to do, except for like 2 dungeons, that we didn’t understand. Wanna hop online and go on some high octane patrols? Yeah, me neither
The lore was something that kept me interested for so long, but when they said that the awoken have a well over a million year long society and Mara Sov is 14 million years old is when I lost interest. I got to see the Ahamkara and that was a good send off for me

I would never play it if it was subscription based. Fuck subscription based games.
I mean i wouldn’t either, but now it’s definitely worse than a subscribtion base. Now you pay for the expansion, dungeons keys, raids, battlepass…
Final fantasy 14?
