Basically what I'm saying is don't expect Shakespeare. The story itself very much Bungie Story Type A: Alien Menace Wants to Kill Everyone ( sun-destroying superweapon subtype), utilizing Generic Stock Villain Type B: Evil Alien Overlord ( space rhino family, Darth Vader mask subtype) and Wisecracking Companions Type C ( multiple pithy robots subtype) set to a Swelling Orchestral Score ( horns and drums subtype). If you are a newcomer or just bounced off the story from Destiny 1, you'll probably find this a lot better. I personally find it disappointing because I was one of those wierdos who was super into the grimoire cards and really liked a lot of what the writing in them implied. How you feel about that probably depends on how into the first game's backstory you are. There are no grimoire cards, just 'lore' pages attached to Exotics and subclasses, none of which have any of the flavor and depth of the stuff from the first game. Having said that, I think it's actually a major step back in terms of universe building. In terms of the story having a beginning, middle, and end and getting there in an intelligible A->B->C fashion, Destiny 2 is worlds better than the first one. It's kind of a step-forward, step-back kind of thing. I'm sure the gameplay is fine just like the first games. What should a person going in solo expect? How many hours is the story, and is there anything of interest beyond that, that has nothing to do with playing with others in some mode? I just want to be immersed in a sci-fi world with likable characters and an intriguing enough story.

I had asked whether the many updates and DLC's made it worth purchasing the DLC, but around that time many had said it's not really worth getting still, so my experience of Destiny as a whole was the beta and the final release of just the story. There wasn't a lot to explore, and the 'story' was lacking.

How are the story and the exploration aspects? Those two things were the big issues of the first. I have an Xbox One X, and in wanting to play more games on it, I was thinking about this game again as it's enhanced on it. Edit - Hey, just to be clear so you're not like 'Oh, darn! This is nine months old!' after you post, I wanted to say that yes, I am bumping this because I am curious again.

Can you play destiny 2 campaign coop
