The game is a regurgitated effort from last year’s game. The hitting system doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense. For a newcomer, the “timing” system with progressive difficulty is horrible. Even if you get good or perfect timing. It will generate “weak contact” which will net you negative points towards your growth. You will seemingly get hits on things you shouldn’t and come up short in the perfect ly times swing. There also seems to be built in a slump mechanism in the game. It is so painfully obvious. The animation and addition of high school to college was a fairly neat function but is short lived. Save your money and buy this game when it is dirt cheap. Keep playing last years edition if you get the itch…

The game can be fun but it is definitely a a pay to win platform. One can get the upgrades if you play long enough. However, those who swipe early get further advancement. Still fun but definitely P2W

The game itself is far more complete than the first one. If you're looking for good PvE content, Destiny 2 (D2) has a lot of it for you. One is even able to go back and complete some of the older raids. The upgrading gear function is much improved and fairly easy to do. PvE is really good and if that is your thing, D2 is a decent investment. However, the PvP is not very balanced and in a terrible state. Solo queue games are often mismatched with pre-made groups (partial) and the other players just get ran over. Most just leave, which, in turn, creates a 6 vs remaining players. Furthermore, handcannons are the new "meta". In other words, most players use them along with shotguns. Some of the shotguns have unbelievable range and obviously do lots of damage. Most people run around with handcannons and within two to three shots, you're dead. It is also amazing how accurate 40-50% of the lobby is deadly accurate with them as well. It is hard to combat that when pulse rifles and scout rifles take more to kill then hand cannons. The hit box for head shots is ridiculous large as well. PvP in general is dull and broken. Some players with the worst latency tend to benefit more than those with good latency. Having been in games were a person is just "rubberbanding" or lagging across the screen. A player takes them down and the lagging person keeps playing and somehow kills someone else. Even though the game registers the initial take down...I can't help but to wonder if dedicated servers might negate this issue. The PvE aspect is really good for the casual player, but the PvP is not. There also seems to be a paywall to enjoy other storylines if you missed some of the expansions.
