Destiny 2 - Free to Play

[Snarfbuckle]

Anyone else trying this out?

It's a little confusing in the beginning because you get no guidance at all but after a review online i decided to go with starting the main campaign which was not exactly clear that it was a good way to start the game as an introduction.

It's kind of fun, didn't cost me a penny and you get a shooter campaign.

I played D2 a year and something ago. It's not bad, but it's definitely better with at least one other person. In fact, I'd say for a 2 people coop, it's one of the most fun games on the market, right now.

Destiny 2 is awesome, and if you played d1 (like me) its not very much different

To be fair, I haven't played Destiny with any enthusiasm in any form since the beta on Xbox many moons ago... I did play a bit after release...I just got tired of my mates having to drop back several levels just to help me level up all the time...since I didn't play it as often as they did. Too much pew, not enough substance for me.

I fear that if most of the game is a grind and not a plethora of campaigns then I'll probably not play more than the campaigns.

The game is fun, as shooter goes but after Borderlands 1&2 most shooters have boring weapons.

Personally I don't really do multiplayer and "end game" very much, so I ran into this exact problem - after finishing the story, I'm basically done with the game. Then repeat three times for DLCs.
I really don't understand people spending thousands of hours in Destiny.
Still, it's a good shooter.

People who spend lots of time in it usually have groups of friends they play with, it makes it so much more fun.

Multiplayer as an excuse for shallow gameplay and source for all these shallow modern games? Usually I just don't bother but meanwhile I start to hate multiplayer games.

Destiny 2 isnt shallow lol

Yeah, I know. I don't have "groups of friends", though. Some may have noticed but I am a rather insufferable person.
I have one friend and we ran through the game together and it was really fun, but doing strikes (or whatsitcalled) over and over to farm better equipment just for the sake of having a better equipment (and I guess bragging rights) is not for me.

 

[Navigare Necesse Est]

Probably not. I usually have a hard time being convinced that console games make for good PC games.

True. And it's good that we do, otherwise we wouldn't have different games.

Ok so you almost had me , it is not actually Destiny 2 that is free to play, it is "Destiny 2 New Light" which is a cut down free to play version of Destiny 2.

Everything you need to know about Destiny 2 New Light

www.gamesradar.com

What content isn't included in Destiny 2 New Light?
New Light comes with a whole lot of stuff, but not quite everything. You get all of Year 1, but only parts of Year 2. Story content in Forsaken and the Annual Pass is unavailable, as are end-game activities like raids (namely Last Wish, Scourge of the Past, and Crown of Sorrow) and the Shattered Throne dungeon. Many Exotics and weapons are also excluded from New Light, not to mention the nine alternate subclass trees and Supers introduced in Forsaken. Most of the content in Destiny 2: Shadowkeep is also unavailable - again, including the new raid, dungeon, and story content.

You get the 3 older dlcs and the base game. Lots of game for free.

Played a lot of Destiny 1 and 2 co-op and really enjoyed it - glad they recently added cross progression so I have all my XBOX stuff on PC too!

I have tried to play Destiny 2 but it is very unfriendly for new players.

The shooter part is good but that's about all and I am playing the full game with expansion/dlc/seasons pass etc.

Thanks for the offer @Rick6549 but I am GMT+10 which usually makes it difficult.

 

[govny]

m'kay... what are the guys in this thread talking about then?

destiny 2 is a great shooter, probably the best out there.
It is not that it has shallow game play, is that you and the others complaing don't like shooters.

 

[govny]

But tell you what? Just ignore me and have fun. Wait until you've grown up and remember my words..

sadly I grown up a lot, probably more than you.
