I understand the issues
But nevertheless
It is STALKER
And made with UNREAL this time
So in a year
After critical fixes and mod tools release
This game will surpass the original

Destiny 2 has evolved. They moved past their original story (Red War / Infinite Garden / etc). Devs decided that instead of creating Destiny 3 (with same planets / backstory / heroes) they will make changes to current game with what they did in beyond light.
Was it worth it? I dunno. Ultimately they closed more destinations / maps / activities than they opened for free to play users.
But with the roadmap they set, we may have a lot of new content in the coming years.
To me the new destination (Europa) is quite fun. It has a lot of secret quests, like the one where you need to use emotes in order to progress...

Nominate this for "GAME THAT DESERVES A SEQUEL"
