Haven't played in a year, how is the state of D2 now?

Thinking about getting the final shape but wonder if it's worth it.

Did you play Witch Queen and its seasons and enjoy them? Then you'll probably enjoy Final Shape.

Yeah I enjoyed them to some extent but was starting to get burnt out.

Final Shape basically pays off all the set up during Witch Queen's year of seasons especially season of the haunted where Crow and Zavala's emotional stories conclude and you go to fight the witness after its reveal at the end of Witch Queen. You're not missing anything if you didn't play lightfall or its seasons.

I stopped at LF I thought it was decent outside of the cringey surfer kid.

As of now imo, the final shape is a great DLC to play through. Though, with the recent controversy with the layoffs... the future of D2 is bleak. I mean, unless you just like the episodes and no more big DLCs :)

Last I heard we're still getting dlc including new locations, story campaigns, and raids they'll just be smaller in scale every 6 months with "into the light" style free content updates to fill the gap in between.

Honestly we're not even talking about the future, the Final Shape is a conclusion. You can go in and get the narrative conclusion and then check back out. If you want more then the current episde/season is included if you decide you want to get back into the loop.

Right because Sony are going to come clean like HEY we are actually shutting Destiny down when they can still milk money from it... you don't understand business do you?

The second they announce they're shutting that's it. People are done, they're not gonna go throwing more money at the game but when you look at 1. The constantly deteriorating quality of the game 2. The player retention 3. How many people are just fed up and 4. Sony... just being Sony, one of the scummiest groups in gaming... 5. Following the previous, the amount of staff constantly just getting fired non stop... hard to keep making quality content when you have no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ developers.

Honestly the game was over the moment Sony bought it.

Even if all of that happens what does it have to do with someone wanting Final Shape? If anything Final Shape gave people a reason to finally drop the game with a conclusion.

I seriously think it's you that doesn't understand business.

The quality of the game is far better than year one, maybe you don't remember all the talk of "the game is dead" back then.

It's rather hard for us here to determine player count, we can see Steam, and that leaves Epic, PlayStation and XBox out of it.

I suspect the number that are fed up, may be smaller than you think, just because the minority is vocal doesn't make them the majority.

To each their own, to me EA is the scummiest, maybe followed by Ubisoft.

Let's not forget there are many layoffs at many companies, intel is good for around 12K layoffs. Things are bad across the board for game developers, not just Bungie. According to Bungie, it was not Destiny that lost a lot of people, but the other projects that were shut down.

Honestly, people like you are the worst thing for games, you spread doom and gloom and some just eat it up and stop playing. Between that and all the "don't buy it unless it's on sale" you damage companies. Some of what is wrong with gaming is on the developers/publishers, some is on the "customers" scaring off potential new customers.

Game is in the worst state it has ever been for community sentiment and numbers. But the content is still worth playing if you haven't.

"NOOOOO! Think of the heckin billion dollar corporation! You're scaring all the new players away from this dying game with a nebulous future!"
Destiny may be dying, but the entertainment value its "fanbase" is providing is truly priceless and eternal.

Imagine stopping yourself from playing a game you're enjoying right now because of some future event that hasn't even been announced.

Gamers are next level doom mongers.
