Got back into destiny again recently and the game in its current state is fantastic for new players.
There is so much content over the 3 years with more to come. Always something to do, always something casual to play and loads of rewards. They have even upped the loot gain considerably making it easier to play.
Only frustrating thing is that the best things are locked behind difficult tasks. Raid weapons are understandable , I don't think I will ever raid on the game. But playing for a particular gun is locked behind a 20 minute time limit mission that is half jumping puzzle and a nightmare to get a team to do.
Even as a free game it's great for the modes on there.
Bungie are starting to show why they are a great games company after splitting with Activision. Going from sequels to extending the world is a great sign of this. They have planned another 3 years at least of destiny 2 so the game , although chopped and changed will become the destiny experience people expected in the beginning.
