Let's recap, Destiny 1 had a rough start but managed to pull itself out of a hole thanks to a dedicated Bungie fanbase refusing to give up on the game and a number of improvements and new content that eventually built out the playing experience to...
With a middling narrative and uninspired copy and pasting of missions, it's hard to argue that this isn't just another stop-gap affair for Bungie while they put all of their efforts into the upcoming major DLC release in...
