Destiny 2 Keeps Chugging Along with Season of the Chosen Trailer

The Cabal is back, again

by Liam Croft Tue 2nd Feb 2021

We can hardly contain our excitement, it's time for another season of Destiny 2. Another round of content that hardly looks any different from the last couple of offerings. Except for this time, the Cabal is back. Again? Let's stop being debbie downers and focus on what Season of the Chosen has to offer as it begins next week on 9th February 2021. The trailer above seems like the perfect place to begin.

Bungie highlights new Cabal forces to pit your Fireteam against, a new Strike, another exotic Bow named Draw Some Fire, and some classic Strikes from the Cosmodrome location that are making a comeback. There'll also be the usual season pass to rank up and earn rewards from. To be perfectly honest, we haven't been playing Destiny 2 for a long time now so we're at the stage where not all of it makes a lot of sense to us. Season of the Chosen looks like more Destiny 2, which will probably both satisfy and frustrate its hardcore fanbase. We'll catch up when YouTubers post their thoughts further down the line.

Liam grew up with a PlayStation controller in his hands and a love for Metal Gear Solid. Nowadays, he can be found playing the latest and greatest PS5 games as well as supporting Derby County. That last detail is his downfall.

Love Destiny and still play regularly. Can't wait for this season. Bungie has really stepped their game up with the story recently.

The story is better yes. But gameplay lags behind in a big way.
And yes, I still love the game and still play it regularly. And I want my god rolls back... I said it before, and I'll say it again. They just had to sunset or nerf the problem weapons. And sunsetting armor is still ridiculous IMHO.

@Jslade I don't really see how. Beyond Light's story wasn't really all that good with the new sub class not being any interesting to the story and the villain being yet another forgettable character.

@Nepp67 Well, to each their own. I find the story the most compelling it's been in quite some time. Especially the developments with The Crow, Osiris, and the Brays.

@Jslade I don't find it at all compelling, writing is just super weak along with its characters and even the new ones with maybe the exception of Crow. I would've loved to see the new subclass actually having negative effects towards your character but that literally never happens. Your ghost getting all worried about you going toward darkness when you haven't said or done anything to make him think that. It sucks cause that would've been really interesting but as of now it's just another subclass with nothing interesting to it.

Wow, I tried going back to D2 with Beyond Light and was bored with it after a month. I'm genuinely puzzled as to why anyone still plays it, and what they find to do other than mindless grinding, and re-levelling (again) every 3 months. I can't believe that Bungie get away with producing so little content. There are so many better games out there. Each to their own though, I guess.

I still love the Destiny universe, the characters, atmosphere, music etc.

The feeling of exploring space and fighting to save humanity is fun for me.

Some people think it’s boring. Maybe it isn’t as special as it used to be. But it’s still home for me.

Admittedly I don’t grind for gear or raid. I just do story and jump out for a few months. But I enjoy my time there.

@XurAgentofthe9 I wouldn't mind grinding in this game if I wasn't doing the same strike over and over again. Why does it have to be one strike every time? It just adds to such boring repetition with getting forced to use weapons you don't want to use on top of it.
