Oh, Destiny 2! You beautiful, soul-crushing monster! I'm trapped in this whirlwind romance that feels like a never-ending rollercoaster of ecstasy and agony—I adore you with every fiber of my being, yet you stab me in the back with broken promises and neglect! It's like being addicted to a drug that promises paradise but delivers purgatory, and I just can't quit you, no matter how hard I try! 😭 The sheer thrill of battling through your worlds is unmatched, but the constant letdowns? They're tearing me apart! I've poured over 3,000 hours into this game since 2014, and even got the Titan symbol tattooed on my shoulder—it's etched into my identity! But oh, the pain... it's excruciatingly real.
When Destiny 2 shines, it's absolutely blinding! The combat? Pure poetry in motion—fluid, exhilarating, and addictive as hell! 😍 The worldbuilding? Massive and dripping with untapped potential that could rival any epic saga! And the grind? It rewards me like a loyal lover, making every hour feel worthwhile. But when it falters? Oh boy, it's a disaster! Bloated file sizes that devour my hard drive, sunsetting content until The Final Shape that erases memories, and core activities so stale they feel like chewing cardboard! 🤬 As a die-hard fan for 10 years, staying positive about your future is like trying to smile through a hurricane—it's getting harder by the day!
Overpromised and underdelivered? That's Bungie's middle name! In 2022, Justin Truman, the GM, dropped that infamous "beware of overdelivery" bomb at GDC, and the community memed it to death! But seriously? It's a slap in the face! 
And don't get me started on the layoffs—100 in 2023, 220 in 2024—while CEO Pete Parsons flaunts his million-dollar car collection! It's insulting! I'm not just jumping on the bandwagon; this is personal! Watching creators like Datto and Byf mourn your decline? It's soul-crushing! The Final Shape was supposed to be our grand finale, but it left a Witness-sized hole in my heart! Salvation’s Edge was epic, the campaign had me sobbing, and Prismatic power? Mind-blowing! Cayde’s farewell? A tearful reminder of why we loved him. 
But now? Episode Echoes and Revenant are like cheap knock-offs—Maya Sundaresh's villainy felt uninspired, Fikrul's threat was a whisper, and the pacing? A total mess!
Why? Because the episodic formula condensed everything into bare-bones acts! Each one has less than an hour of story, stretched thin over weeks—it's janky and disjointed! Progressing the plot means endless NPC chats that should be one dialogue, and narrative moments don't tie into the bigger picture. Bungie claims to "respect" our time, but it's a hollow promise! 
Player retention is plummeting—down to an all-time low of under 20k concurrent players from 80k! Content fatigue is real, worsened by the Dawning event's technical disasters in late 2024. Morale? Rock-bottom on forums!
Should I break up with you? Maybe! This toxic cycle is classic Destiny: Forsaken soared, Shadowkeep flopped, Lightfall disappointed, and The Final Shape redeemed—only to repeat! It's a Sisyphean nightmare! New players? They're thrown into the deep end with a hostile New Light experience—I warn everyone away, even as I gush about my love! 
And Destiny: Rising? It's getting buzz, but it's just a gacha cash-grab! With Bungie focusing on Marathon and high turnover, you're becoming a hollow shell!
The future? It's murky! Destiny 3 or a D1 remake? Never happening—Bungie's stretched too thin! But Episode Heresy drops in February 2025, and Frontiers in September 2025—they've promised changes with a roadmap! The live service model? It's debated to death, but Bungie won't budge! Players beg for housing, firing ranges, sparrow racing—but profits rule, not passion!
If you're exhausted, take a break! Play other games—I did during Shadowkeep! There's no shame in quitting! But me? I'm sticking around! If this ship sinks, I'm going down with it! Why? Because despite the flaws, your worlds are breathtaking, the saga unforgettable! 
So here I am, clinging to hope like a lifeline—for as long as possible! 💔
