I just "finished" the story. Overall, I thought it was great, but not maybe not as good as Witch Queen. I like that they gave us prismatic and we didn't spend the entire story learning that instead of...the actual story. A couple of neat twists and turns, Bungie killed the aesthetic as always, and the mechanics/ "puzzles" were solid. I think WQ was a little better here too, but TFS' dunk/ icon stuff was well done.
I've done nothing but finish the campaign, so I have no idea what the DLC and overhauls brought us. I do like the new HUD info and adding elemental colors to the armor modifiers is pretty slick.
I think it clocks in around a B+ or A-.

6 months...and this is what we get
I'm not a designer, so it's possible my anger is misplaced...but this really feels bad...
Maybe there are studios out there who get it right from the launch, but I haven't played their games. Bungie, Blizzard, and Activision all have problems with new releases, particularly with server load balancing. Live service games are hard to pull off on the backend, particularly in the first few days.
That said, while I like what I've seen...what would we have had they not delayed TFS' release? I doubt we'll ever know that answer.

Ya, server issues are a given as far as I'm concerned. 99.99% of the time you don't have everybody logging on at once, so that's forgivable for a few hours imo.
What killed me was the variety of game ending bugs that reminded me of day 1 Vow. Add to that the 12-ish hours we had to wait for those largely to vanish, only for more added downtime today...idk, feels bad.
Diablo 4 had some issues at launch, but it was far more playable. Again, maybe I'm being too critical, but it just felt really bad considering the extra time they had to polish the final product.
On a positive note, the campaign seems good so far and I think Prismatic has a lot of room for exploration which seems super cool
Having finished the main campaign, to include the 12 man event, this is the best DLC in D2's history. I was skeptical until I finished all of the cutscenes and ran some of the side quests.
I think next week Bungie announces D3.

Not spoiling anything, but the cutscenes after the 12 man-event...if you're a D1/D2 vet with anything invested in the lore and story? That shit is going to knock you off your feet. Take your allergy meds.

I'm on the road through Thursday, so I'm look forward to everyone's thoughts. I haven't even tried any prismatic builds. The seasonal artifact that allows strand tangles to double their explosive radius is kind of bonkers.

Well, the game is already worth it....Cayde has returned....for now, but good to see him.
Currently enjoying Diablo IV on Xbox but I choose my sessional class poorly (Druid). I keep thinking of switching over to Destiny 2 on PC.
Necro minion and Barb (no surprise there) are killing it in D4. I'm a shit player and my necro minion had me at Tier 4 as a level 60.
RE: D2, a coworker who hasn't touched the game in 2-3 years is picking up the game until Elden Ring or whatever drops some DLC in about a month. Don't be a coward, embrace the grind.

Is it bad that I really just want to see a Trump rally in the Destiny universe?
"We have to get back to winning. The Witness, I like to call him little witty because he has a small brain, unlike my brain which is big, but not as big as my hands. Little witty lost to a team of tiny little guardians, only lasting 19 hours. I would have lasted far longer, just ask Melania. We have to make the universe great again."

Whether we wanted it or not, and we don't, we've stepped into a war, a really nasty war, dirty war, a war like we've never seen with the Cabal on Mars. The Cabal, they are brutes, disgusting people, really, all of them criminals So let's get to taking out their command, one by one. We will destroy them because we are smarter and we are better. Valus Ta'aurc. From what I can gather he commands the Siege Dancers, and what kind of name is the Siege Dancers? Stupid, really people we're dealing with, from an Imperial Land Tank outside of Rubicon. He's well protected, but I'm smarter, I'm so much smarter. With the right team, and we have heroes, we have so many heroes, everyone's jealous of us because we're the best, we can punch through those defenses, take this beast out, and break their grip on Freehold.
