Sony was dumb for buying them when they did. Bungie was already kind of in a downward spiral and giving them all that funding just gave them a much nicer toilet for the flushing.
I bought destiny 2 and a bunch of the DLC last year to see what it was all about and it was just a confusing, miserable mess of an experience from start to finish. Well, assuming it was start to finish. I still don’t know where the start was or what the hell was going on. I felt dumb for buying it.
Yup. Sony scammed themselves really with that one.
Destiny 2 is hard to get into as a new player, they kind of deleted all the initial story, so you kind of just get thrown in at the end now. Bungie never knew what to do with that game, they changed stuff randomly and could never decide what system they wanted.
The thing is though, it’s a very fun and fluid shooter, the core gameplay is some of the best out there, it just sucks the content gets repetitive and the DLCs are all overpriced.
Oh yeah the gameplay and the environments made me really want to get into it more than anything else. I just couldn’t figure out why I was doing all this stuff or why I’m supposed to care about some dead character who I never met.
Just gotta ignore the lore unless you watch videos on it. I suppose you have to make your own goal in that game, there’s no set ending, you just grind until you are bored of it.
I really like the teamwork activities, raids etc. They added a really fun exotic mission which you can only duo, but the community complained you have to communicate with a partner, so probs wont get anymore of that ahaha.
Basically… “We’re going to be selling out more and won’t fight Sony managing us more”
Too bad Bungie, shouldn’t have had Joe Blackburn purposely break play styles and made tasks grindier in Lightfall because players didn’t provide enough “engagement” (playing longer)
bungie hasnt been affiliated with microsoft for almost 2 decades now.
the whole point of destiny was microsoft wanted them to keep working on Halo, but they wanted to work on something else, so they bought their independence

It’s no surprise that Bungie were going to end up worse under Sony.

… Bungie split off from MSFT in 2007.
Kind of the whole reason the Destiny games exist.
Sony has owned Bungie since 2022
bungie hasnt been affiliated with microsoft for almost 2 decades now.
