Destiny and Bungie have gone through ebbs and flows of being amazing and being downright cringe. Their last expansion, Lightfall, was a travesty in terms of story telling and they've had tendencies to pull some incredibly shady tactics over the years. DEI is noticeably crammed into it without remorse (that one can be overlooked given that I myself have run into plenty of racist/misogynist cretins while raiding that I would love to see pushed out).
However, all in all, the core gameplay and the sheer volume of things to chase and accomplish in this game make all the murk and unsavory aspects moot.
This is the kind of game and the genre I want to see flourish. I hope Bungie never gets so complacent that they fumble this entirely, because they have something truly worthy here.
