As those of you who have read my previous ramblings may well be aware, I was a big fan of the original Destiny game, sinking more hours into the game than I care to think about. I was expecting big things from the sequel, the imaginatively named Destiny 2, especially having been whipped into a frenzy by the beta and Bungie’s carefully staged reveals. Having now spent 3 days, 1 hour and 16 minutes in the game in the last two weeks (a stat that is still beaten by 20 people on my friends list), I feel that I am more than qualified to drop some thoughts on this new game. So come with me into a world of Vex, Cabal and big guns!
So, the Bungie 30th Anniversary Pack for Destiny 2 then… is it worth the price of admission, for a game that is free to play? Well, on the whole, I think it is. The new dungeon is so challenging, and Gjallarhorn is so great - even today - that getting it makes Destiny 2 just that little bit better.
While Destiny: Beyond Light on Xbox does axe more content than it adds, it is still worth playing through. The new world is an interesting place, and with a lot of post story content coming from Variks, the scope to have fun is large. A new Raid makes me happy indeed, and with new exotic quests and Hunts to take part in the future does appear to be bright.
While I'm pleased to say that Shadowkeep does deliver in terms of both story and things to do, it is not as “sparkly” new in terms of enemies and the like as Forsaken, with more of the beasts and baddies that are in place having been recycled from Destiny 1. The hive are a bit spikier and the buildings are covered in Fallen graffiti, and it has to be said that the Moon is more decrepit and crumbling and new areas have been added, but when it comes down to it things are not so much new as buffed up and rolled in a bit of glitter.
The latest, and hopefully greatest chapter in the Destiny 2 saga has now been released to the waiting public. Called Forsaken and released in a bundle with the previous two expansions, can Destiny 2 get back on track after a rocky patch, or is it too little too late?
Bungie recently released the latest expansion to their space FPS, Destiny 2, with the Forsaken expansion and to celebrate this, Numskull updated their already impressive Destiny 2 merchandise line-up. We got our hands on a couple of the new releases and let me tell you, these are very well-crafted pieces.
One of the most anticipated of the big game releases in 2017 was that of Destiny 2. The first person shooter from Activision and Bungie came about due to massive demand from the huge group of hardcore players who enjoyed the original Destiny. But in order to compete at the highest level, gamers across the globe wouldn't just be able to rock up with some skills, they'd also have to be equipped with the best kit - and that is where KontrolFreek’s Destiny 2 Ghost thumbsticks for Xbox One come in.
