And no i couldnt say the exact same thing about any sequel ever , sorry. There are fine examples of sequels that are far better than previous games even if some of the mechanics are the same.
"Every sequel ever" was an hyperbole but the fact is that the vast majority of sequels (there are definitely exceptions to the rule. RE4 is one of those) barely improve over the previous game. There's nothig wrong with that. If a formula proves to appeal to some, I dont see why it should dramatically change. I just dont get why Destiny 2 is the only getting the flak for it whe dozens of other sequels do the same
Resident Evil 2 was better than original for example. Uncharted 2 better than original in every way and the least goes on and on. Sorry but telling me every sequel ever was one of the same ... nah , i wont buy this to convince me Destiny 2 is not Destiny 1.5.
RE2 or Uncharted 2 are exceptions to the rule and yet one could argue that the system mechanics are roughly the same as RE1 or Uncharted 1. Are they better games? sure, but dont tell me their gameplay or core mechanics changed drastically cause they didnt. Outside of that, did RE3 improved much over RE2? Did U3 improved much over U2? exactly... yet I didnt see people calling them "expansions". Why? Cause we didnt had the "expansion" culture we have today when some expansions can compete with full blown games. Destiny 2, going by (still subjective) critical (both professional and non-professional) reception is a better game than Destiny 1 (Destiny 1 meta 76, Destiny 2 meta 86). If its a good game per se, sorry, its all subjective. I'm sure some people will find D1 a better game than D2 regardless of scores, but who's to say they're wrong? Its their opinion after all
Ill go with veterans of Destiny that having way more to say about game itself in depth than " but all sequels are the same " argument.
Be my guest. You can think all you want by what your "veteran" friends think. I, contrary to you, have a mind of my own though, and I can come to conclusions without resorting to the opinion of others.
This is not opinion based
It actually is
Come on now ... Veterans of Destiny 1 calling D2 the 1.5 version. And its not a few , majority of them are , not to say every single youtube review from gamers themselves i watched up till now.
Again, I can think for myself. I dont need the opinion of others to formulate a thought. But if you do need others to think, then go ahead, I wont stop you
