![]() ![]() Will The Final Shape be the last Destiny 2 expansion? Although it’s unclear how Bungie will approach the entire matter, the game will not end with this expansion. In terms of the storyline, a lot has happened over the past couple of seasons, and it’s safe to say that a lot of mysteries introduced in the very first season of the game are finally falling into place.Įvery year, Bungie releases a new expansion with a campaign in Destiny 2. This expansion will see the Vanguard go up against The Witness in a showdown that’s been building up over the last six years. The cutscenes were also spectacular, and Bungie's visual direction never ceases to amaze me.The Final Shape, the concluding chapter in the Destiny 2 Light vs Darkness saga, is a little over six months away. (EDIT) I upped the score to a 6 because, despite how bad the story was, the gameplay was really good, despite some terrible encounters. I really hope the Final Shape is good or the Destiny story is going to end, with not a bang, and not even a whimper, but a frail little sob. The story feels rushed and made with ZERO care, and the writing is just bad. If the internal leaks are true, and Lightfall was an expansion that was never planned, but had to be made because Bungie couldn't finish The Final Shape. We get 1 new strike, which is really fun, but no new crucible maps or gambit maps. The new location is amazing visually, but feels so empty and bland, especially because it is meant to be a thriving city. Strand, on the other hand, is incredibly fun, and is great. Just explain quite possibly one of the most important plot points, in a news coverage that is meant for comedic relief, and you might NEVER hear this if you don't explore the new location. Nope! The entire story is based around defending the Veil and yet we have no clue what it is or what it is capable of! But guess what? If you walk around the new location, Neomuna, there is a chance that you will be able to hear Neomuna news, and it explains what the Veil is! Amazing. ![]() Why should we care? Why does the story expect us to want to protect these people that we don't know about? You have to stop Calus and the Witness from reaching "The Veil." When the Veil was first mentioned, I just thought it was something I don't know about, because I took a break from the game. ![]() Instead, the writers expect you to care for the new race, Cloudstriders, and they base the entire story around THEIR home. I won't go into spoilers, but if you are playing the Lightfall campaign, and have questions, don't expect a SINGLE one to be answered. The entire story of Lightfall revolves around characters we don't care about, a new location that we don't care about, finding a Mcguffin that the story REFUSES to explain (even the biggest lore fans have no clue what it is), a villain that's motivations are unclear, so we don't really feel any stakes, and the campaign just feels like a tutorial for the new subclass, Strand. Do you remember how incoherent and nonsensical the base game story of Destiny 1 was? Yup, we reached those levels of storytelling again. Expectations were high, but when Lightfall released, those expectations were shattered. ![]() The Witch Queen's campaign was fantastic, and the best Destiny has ever been. As we near the end of a story that so many have followed, for 9 years now, many have had high hopes. Lightfall is such a disappointing expansion in terms of story, and it makes me concerned for The Final Shape. ![]()
