    My buddy and I have just gotten into Destiny 2 thanks to some free stuff I’ve gotten from PS+ over the years. Honestly, if you weren’t there from day 1, the learning curve is really prohibitive. Menus all over the place, NPCs everywhere that pretend like you know them, raids that require actual organization with people who don’t actually want to talk to you, no incentive to actually track the story, random stuff that ends up in your inventory that don’t seem to serve any purpose, a really weird leveling system, and of course a lot of proprietary vocabulary that just makes it all more confusing.

    It’s a cool game, but after a month I still just have one friend and neither of us know wtf we’re doing. Had I any less patience, I would have deleted the game by now.

      This is what happens when you just straight up replace early content. You no longer have a way to start from scratch, you’re just dumped right in the middle.

      I always wanted to get into destiny, I didn’t mind what little time I spent with the first game, and I enjoyed the little pieces of the lore that I got. But once I heard there’s no way for me to experience all of that story any more, I gave up on ever wanting to play the games.

      What’s the point of playing 1 if I can’t play the immediate story beats after that game and what’s the point of playing 2 without knowing what the fuck happened prior.

        Particularly when all the NPCs act like you’ve been with them this whole time. Some robot dude dies dramatically in the opening sequence like I’m supposed to care, then there’s a plaque for him in the main hub area for the rest of eternity with no explanation.
