why do i get the feeling that, even if the game turns out super good, there won't be a single person on the forum who won't be a salty biased little bitch about it and hate it anyway

Because the tactics Bungie uses are still despicable. Like as good as the gameplay is, and it is (though that's never been the issue), I can't get over how shameless they are. They announced the 2 DLCs before showing gameplay of the base game.

I think what's going to happen is this:

Bungie cutting content then re-releasing it as DLC for destiny 1 was a result of development troubles. Any DLC for Destiny 2 will be the same, cut content, however it will be cut intentionally rather than due to development constraints.

They saw how much money it printed, no stopping it now.

They were pretty much working on Destiny for 5 years. That's plenty of time of make a game filled with shit tons of content at release instead of cutting it.

They went through major turmoil a year or so before release and scrambled to make it work with what they had. That being said, in my mind they went wrong with charging people for what was already in the game.

really don't like the new weapon system

Seriously. I couldn't see any point in differentiating energy and kinetic weapons from the demo. And shotguns and snipers are heavy weapons because they couldn't figure out how to balance them for the shitty pvp? C'mon.

I like it.

I usually used a sidearm to mow through shields, and elemental primaries have always been coveted, but really unbalanced in PvE, especially with modifiers. This usually results in your favorite loadout being useless in some situations, and god tier in others, or forced you to use an elemental primary you hated just for the burn.

I was not a fan of the Zhalo Supercell, but it was hands down the best weapon in Arc Burn, even before Fatebringer was useless. Though, now that Fatebringer is back, the Supercell isn't just plain the ONLY option.

Displacing the amount that these weapons can be used by moving them to the special slot will create some interesting PvE, and considering how much I even used my Sniper or Shotgun when I had them equipped, plus how weak they were in the special slot for PvE, moving them into heavy and giving them a nice PvE buff should be awesome.

Not to mention I almost absolutely never touched my heavy slot.

Ultimately a lot of these changes seem to be geared toward more casual players wanting to enjoy PvE, and I'm okay with that.

Well, yeah when you think about it most of what they originally planned was pushed back or scrapped and they just shat out Destiny 1, so its likely 2 is going to be closer to what the first was meant to be like in terms of story and area
