![]() ![]() As soon as you meet the cloud striders on Neptune, you’re whisked off to act two. The Witness arrives, the Traveler reacts, and the Cabal is heading to Neptune to swipe some technology that the Traveler developed, and you have to chase them down before they obtain it. The first act of this story is glossed over. All the ingredients were there for this story to truly come together and deliver what we have all been waiting for and…it simply doesn’t. We have a new planet, a revisited epic bad guy, a new bad guy, and two new heroes. And also introduced Neptune and its inhabitants, mainly Nimbus and Rohan, two cloud striders that protect Neptune and all its digital residents. The Witness finally shows up, our big baddie that is going to wreck the Traveler. It has all these wonderful pieces and parts to the story, including the return of Calus, a character introduced a while ago in one of the cooler raids built for D2. Sadly, this was a missed opportunity again.ĭestiny 2: Lightfall is interesting. This is our Anakin moment where he turns, and everything goes to shit with the world and characters. Fans have been anxiously awaiting this moment. The game has been building up to this moment. Since the conclusion of the original campaign in Destiny 2, we have all wondered what the hell the pyramid ships are and why they are so dangerously important. ![]() You start with the introduction to the world and characters, move on to the crisis, and then conclude with a well-earned climax that makes you glad you took the time to experience it all.Īnd let me say, I certainly realize that there is an overall story to D2. It’s honestly not that difficult to create a three-act narrative properly. ![]() But it all starts with a competent storyline that everyone can fall into, engage with, and remember for years to come. All Bungie needs to do is sit down, flowchart out the main story, break it into pieces, and assign a certain amount of gameplay and elements to each piece. This has been a plague of the series since the first Destiny game back in 2014. And we all surely will.Ī story is all Bungie needs to get this gameplay going. With every expansion and every season, I keep thinking that this is going to be the one that brings us what we have always been hoping for with the series. Why am I telling you any of this? Well, my thoughts and feelings about Destiny 2 have run the same course as they did with the prequels. How can you go wrong with this three-act story? Ugh. Exhaustingly, I had hope for Star Wars – Revenge of the Sith and thought to myself, “Surely they can’t (BLEEP) this up because now it’s going to be Anakin killing everything in sight.” It was equally bad, if not more disappointing. Disappointing from starting dialogue to the credits. Then the Star Wars – Attack of the Clones trailer came out and I thought that it was going to be fantastic because we’re beyond this little kid crap and we’re onto some jaded teenager story where Anakin gets pushed beyond his limits and he steps into the dark side. I thought to myself, “It’s back! We’re going to see more Star Wars! And it’s going to be the best ever because it’s about Anakin’s journey to the dark side!” Then it wasn’t the best ever. I remember watching the Star Wars – The Phantom Menace trailer at the end of my college career. ![]()
