Destiny 2 players mock tutorial & suggest Apex Legends instead BungieDestiny 2\u2019s tutorial leaves much to be desired, and players have jokingly suggested newcomers look elsewhere for their FPS fix. Destiny 2 has been around since 2017, and in the four years since has become a pretty complex game. There are a wealth of activities, the game is in its fifteenth season, and there is a huge mess of currencies, quests, and expansions to sift through for newcomers. We recently published an article about how returning to the game after a hiatus was a nightmare, but for new players, it\u2019s much worse. With Bungie committing to the Destiny Content Vault, a way of cycling content in and out of its first-person shooter\/MMO hybrid, anyone jumping in now will be met with a short tutorial and very little story context. Ahead of the Witch Queen expansion in 2022, one Destiny fan took to the game\u2019s subreddit to discuss how it feels trying to get new players into the franchise. Destiny 2 newcomers should play Apex Legends instead Reddit user CDClock\u2019s post, titled \u201cTrying to get new people to play the game be like\u201d runs through a series of things experienced players would say when sharing the game they love with someone that hasn\u2019t played before. Ripe for ridicule is the game\u2019s initial, underwhelming tutorial, as well as the game\u2019s bizarre pricing structure that means players can snag all current expansions for $40 \u2013 but that the biggest (and best), Forsaken, will be going away when The Witch Queen arrives. The upcoming 30th Anniversary pack from Bungie gets a mention, too, with the pack controversially including a dungeon that isn\u2019t included with Witch Queen\u2019s Deluxe Edition. Then there\u2019s the requirement to buy that, and potentially season passes, too. At the end, the post jokes \u201cwhy are you turning on Apex Legends?\u201d While Apex Legends is a different sort of loot-shooter, there\u2019s no denying it\u2019s much easier to get into. The Destiny community has long joked about how much of an investment keeping up with the game has been, while also noting that it helps pay for new content from Bungie, but the post has some wishing the Red War campaign could make a comeback (the campaign that Destiny 2 launched with). \u201cThere should always be a full-fledged campaign as the intro to Destiny. I think the Red War would be perfect,\u201d one commenter notes, while another says that the \u201cShadowkeep campaign should be free and the opening for new players\u201d since it ties into the game\u2019s current story arc. Last month we opined that Bungie should consider a monthly subscription service for Destiny 2 that includes the game\u2019s expansions. As it stands, the base game of Destiny 2 is free (sans vaulted content), and there are three annual expansions to play through before Witch Queen. Forsaken, originally launched in 2018, will be free-to-play from December 7 \u2013 but will be removed when Witch Queen (and Season 16) launches. As for how Bungie will tweak the new player experience, it\u2019s anyone\u2019s guess \u2013 but it\u2019s clear Destiny 2 needs something of a shakeup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
