Look, if you’re going to mention that Destiny had no story, then here’s a stick and a dead horse for you to beat on. Like I’ve said before, Destiny did have a story. It just made the mistake of hosting its lore in a mobile app instead of the game itself. A couple of weeks ago at a Destiny 2 …
Destiny 2’s new worlds are massive. You already saw a taste of the European Dead Zone, whose windings roads lead into Red Legion beachheads and Fallen scavenger camps.

Couldn’t get into the Call of Duty: WW2 beta, no matter how hard you tried? There’s a fix for that. All you have to do is hit up the Hong Kong PlayStation store where the glorified demo is available for free.

It’s one hell of a time-saving move, one that takes the grind out of Destiny 2 further and delivers on more immediate action. Here’s a trio of them for you to watch.
I don’t have a decent attention span. More often than not, I always find myself HEY LOOK A SQUIRREL! Anyway, enough distractions. Back to the story on point AND HEY LOOK THE SQUIRREL IS BACK! DAMMIT! Okay, listen to me for a moment. Destiny 2, a game that is already filled with a stack of content. You’ve got Public Events, …
