Destiny 2: Forsaken - Review: Excellence Undermined Spoiler Alert While Destiny 2 had been improving at a snail's pace since the launch of the tedious and insipid Curse of Osiris expansion, there was still long way to go in order to rejuvenate it completely. Forsaken has been publicized as the cure-all medication for a dying game and represents the last straw for a community that has been largely disappointed with the overall quality of the endgame economy, the post-launch content and the community management. Therefore, it is significant to directly and immediately say that Forsaken is good. Better than good, Forsaken is a necessary and terrific expansion that finally fixes the majority of systemic problems that were plaguing Destiny 2. It addresses and improves upon nearly every system while injecting a healthy dose new and invigorating content. Unfortunately, along with a variety of aggravating minor issues that are irksome but manageable, Bungie somehow managed to sq...

Destiny 2 - The Top Ten Weapons for PvP Season One Edition The point of Destiny 2 is to shoot things and some guns just do it better than the rest. In this article, I will be taking a look at the best weapons in PvP and evaluating not only their individual merits but also how they stack up against the competition. Additionally, I'll be highlighting a similar but weaker honorable mention for each selection in case you're looking for a different type of weapon. This list is based of of my personal experience, the community consensus and the varying quality of the static perks on each weapon. If you think I got it wrong, please leave a comment and inform me of which weapons I misjudged. Without further adieu, let's get to the guns! 10. The Time-Worn Spire Rapid-Fire Frame, Tactical Mag, Accurized Rounds, Zen Moment When Iron Banner originally launched, everyone knew the armor looked absolutely incredible while the weapons... well, the weapons looked less so. An...

Destiny 2 - Review: Atonement Destiny 2 knows it has a lot to atone for. Atonement may seem like a strong sentiment but, at the release of Destiny, the game that the public was promised and the game that was delivered were vastly different animals. If it weren't for the crisp, exciting gameplay and a quality raid, the first Destiny would have become merely a footnote in the history of the gaming industry. But the game limped on and after three years of patches, upgrades and downloadable content, the final iteration of Destiny turned out to be far superior than the original product. With that being said, the scars from the initial game's fragmented story, disjointed campaign, and downright frustrating leveling system still linger, stinging anyone who tried the first game and doesn't want to be fooled a second time. Fortunately, for all of Bungie's faults, they do learn from their mistakes and Destiny 2 is an entertaining, rewarding and infinitely replayable dive into s...

The raid boss raises his arms in a final lethal attack. Rockets and snipers pelt him from every direction, his health lowering below one percent. He finishes his last attack and all six of us brave guardians die immediately. Momentary disappointment sets in. But waits, what's that? A final rocket soars slowly towards him, fired at the literal last second. It connects, it detonates and the boss explodes in a shower of sparks and flesh. An ear-shattering cheer erupts from every headset. Yet again, Bungie proves that they are masters at crafting thrilling endgame content. I just wish they had paid that much attention to the actual story of Rise of Iron. Underwhelming Story When the Taken King expansion dropped over a year ago, Bungie proved they could tell a compelling story within the world and lore of Destiny. So, when it was announced that their newest large expansion would delve into the history of the Iron Lords, many longtime guardians were pumped to finally get a lo...
