Destiny 2: New Legends Will Rise isn’t what we thought

DESTINY 2 is the sequel to Destiny, which came out in 2014. Destiny 2 was supposed to have a longer campaign than Destiny, but in reality it is only longer by a few missions. The gameplay is exactly the same, just like any other sequel would be. One of the new features is that players can transfer their Legendary gear from Destiny to your Destiny 2 account, but there is a catch.

The catch is that the Legendary armor level will reset so players are going to have to scrap a ton of useless loot all over again. It’s not bad but I think it’s a hassle. Also, it was only available until August 1st, so if you’re just barely finding out about this now then you missed out.

Now, with the multiplayer, I feel like it’s almost exactly the same as the original. I honestly don’t know what I expected from the multiplayer. It still takes a while to search for a game when in certain raid lobbies and game modes.

The story of Destiny 2 makes more sense to me than the one in Destiny. In Destiny, you have The Hive (comparable to the Flood from Halo) and the Fallen. When they are introduced in the story, I couldn’t really find their true objective. All I knew about them were just the same old cliche like global domination or some ancient evil type of thing like the Vex.

Destiny 2’s villain, Ghaul, actually has a legitimate objective. Ghaul believes that the Guardians do not deserve the Light. He believes they are weak by cowering behind walls and protecting by defending instead of conquering worlds like he does.

Ghaul is basically a character that is evil because he has a different point of view about who deserves to have the Light and about who is truly worthy of that power. He will stop at nothing to eradicate the Guardians unless they show their worth as “true” Guardians. I find that story way more interesting than ancient evil or some bugs wanting to conquer.

Ghaul is the leader of the Cabal that was on Mars in Destiny and is a Cabal. Cabals are basically the Halo grunts on a ton of steroids. In Destiny 2, the Cabal are still a formidable foe like the Vex were when they were first introduced to the series, just not as annoying.

In my opinion, I would rather face the Cabal rather than the Vex because they don’t teleport. Earlier I mentioned that the gameplay is the same as its prequel which makes sense.

There are new subclasses for Titan, Warlock, and Hunter. My favorite is the Titan Sentinel because you get to throw shield like Captain America. If you want to throw a shield like Captain America, then you better be choosing Titan class my dudes and dudettes.

Overall, Destiny 2 is still a good game but I would say to buy it only if you have friends to play with since you have to have a team in order to continue.
