Destiny was a beautiful game until the Taken King. The original enemies and map design made replaying strikes not a hardship, and while the Taken King had new enemy types, it didn’t completely lose the plot.

Basically everything since D2 launched is worse. The levels don’t have the same attention to detail, the maps and worldbuilding all feel super generic, and they just churn through the same guns and armor with minor perk changes to take away old ones and lock you into a treadmill, with a grind that’s not fun because the content feels like shit they threw against the wall.

Then they take away shit you paid for. I bought the original game happily, and was mildly disappointed, but played occasionally (unlike almost 1k hours in D1). Then I come back later and it’s free to play, the content I bought is gone and replaced by trash that’s mostly locked behind paywalls. Throw in their “we refuse to allow you to play on Linux because fuck you” and characters and a world that make no sense and play like shit and there’s nothing to go back to.
