Bungie\u2019s iconic looter shooter Destiny 2 is nearing the end of its almost decade-long story. The conflict between light and dark has transpired over many years, with it coming to a culmination in The Final Shape coming next year. With the exciting conclusion breaching the horizon, players both old and new have hopped onto Destiny to catch up before the ends. To tie players down between major expansions, Bungie releases seasonal content that entices players to continue playing the game, offering new stories, activities, raids, and more to keep them going. These stories are generally considered side content, but can also host monumental events that change how we view the story. And while some players have enjoyed the method that Bungie has delivered story content, others have taken issue with it. Some of whom have taken to Reddit to criticize and report their negative experiences in regards to the story. Destiny 2 players criticize devs story philosophy Destiny 2 players have criticized Bungie\u2019s philosophy of delivering story content. Both new and returning players have expressed their issues with how the story is delivered, particularly critiquing the \u201cyou had to be there\u201d attitude. The player explained that after returning and reaching Beyond Light, they were completely lost with the story, complaining that the seasonal story was too pivotal to the overall plot. \u201cWhy make seasonal content, that will be deleted when the season ends, a pivotal part of the story???? I might drop this game. this whole \u2018you had to be there\u2019 garbage is just not new player-friendly at all.\u201d they argued. Others echoed the player\u2019s sentiment, pointing out the new player experience as the weakest part of Destiny 2. \u201cYeah, the new\/returning player experience is by far the weakest part of this game. It\u2019s kind of staggering TBH.\u201d one player noted. Conversely, a few commenters pointed out the duality of seasonal content, explaining that seasonal content can also feel completely unrelated to the main plot. \u201cYou also have the opposite. I took a break right after Lightfall and missed the last 2-3 seasons. Came back and I feel like almost nothing of major narrative importance happened.\u201d they explained. It\u2019s uncertain if Bungie has any plans to amend some of these issues with Destiny 2\u2019s story, but with The Final Shape fast approaching, the devs may not have time to appease the player base.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Destiny 2 players criticize major flaw with story and player experience BungieThe Destiny 2 community has criticized major flaws with how players experience the game\u2019s continuous and ongoing story.
