Destiny 2: The Final Shape Review

Ойындар

Through its campaign, its new destination, its new activities, and its post-campaign story continuation, The Final Shape is as close as Destiny has ever gotten to the original promise of the game when Bungie first described a shared-world sci-fi fantasy shooter set in a far-flung future. This isn't just Destiny 2 as the best it's ever been--this is Destiny 2 as it always should have been.

    I always thought the name of the last expansion, "The Final Shape", was a reference to the game itself. This is the final shape of Destiny the game. The thing they always wanted it to be. That said, they're still lacking some ideas they've presented over the years so perhaps this isn't the final shape, just a more complete one.

    What is amazing is that they did most of the best part work in 6 month with Prismatic, Dread and even the new updated ending had it been the original alternate ending it would haven't been that hard hitting. It's always good to delay and focus to achieve something great rather than just completing timelines and best part they gave Onslaught to compensate the 6 month wait period.

    Such a dramatic simplification of reality to say that “they finally delivered the version they wanted”. Destiny is an evolving game. Final Shape is not “the version they wanted”. It’s just one more version, and one that has everything else that came before it as foundation. It’s not like “the game is only worth it now”. No, if you waited all this time to finally play, I’m sorry to tell you that you lost great moments delivered by vanilla Destiny (Vault of Glass), Taken King, Warmind, Forsaken, as well as many smaller moments such as Warmind, Menagerie. Destiny is an ever evolving game, and I think that one thing that makes it so clear is the transformative work they have done over classes in this game. It is the kind of stuff that, for other games, would be a Destiny 3, but here is just part of how the game is: ever changing. In fact the core gameplay loop of Destiny remains *very similar* to its very first year. You do basic activities to level up until you get to a soft cap. Then you engage in end game activities, which at the time were nightfalls, raids and today remain nightfalls, raids but also add dungeons to the loop now. The campaign delivery is much better now than it was in year one, but it also has only a temporary impacted on the actual gameplay loop, just like all campaigns delivered thus far. In that sense, Destiny remains quite similar to its first year when it comes to the basics, and I think that is why it survived that year and continues to survive now.

    "Destinies future has never looked more exciting" I struggle to understand how people can stay this optimistic. Maybe if Destiny had a rough start and then got better and better, sure. But they have gone up and down in zigzag motions the entire franchises runtime. Clearly Final Shape is great because they felt absolutely forced to make something great, because disappointing people in the finale of the 10 year saga would have been disastrous. Just like all other times destiny was great were those times they absolutely needed a success to stay in business - and just like all other releases without that pressure have been nothing to write home about or even pretty bad at times. Destiny looks exactly like the last 10 years have shown - a game that only "overdelivers" when it absolutely has to. Destinys future doesnt look bright, it looks profitable and always balancing the line between effort put in and money made back, whatever that means for the consumer experience.

    This campaign was mediocre, at best. It didn't have the in depth character development of Witch Queen (even though it's story was a horrible retcon) or the entertainment and engagement value of Forsaken. The Final Shape was just another Red War blunder, that was time filler engagement, with bits of challenges and difficulty sprinkled in. The real story of the expansion comes in the after campaign quests. That are us just redoing the campaign missions all over again. With all the hate that Light Fall got for doing the very same thing (campaign and story wise) I don't understand how people are gushing over it. Was it bad? No. We've had a lot worse. But it's barely anything above passable. As far as rating the expansion goes, seriously? We've barely scratched the surface of this thing. Give it time. But it's nowhere near (just yet) what Forsaken brought to (and how it completely changed the game) our gameplay.
