I did the exact same thing. Then rebought MIDA and fed it a 275 blue scout to get it back up to passable for use in the raid for the tunnel. Read more

+1 to Nameless Midnight, Uriel’s Gift, and Merciless. That is my trifecta to getting sh*t done in any mode. MIDA Multi-Tool is great and all but i was kinda hoping it would get left in Destiny 1 because i feel like it had its time in the sun and i’d like to see more new exotics. Side note, i just got Sunshot Read more

Let me get in on this. I’ll always miss my Hung Jury, but man, the versatility of Nameless Midnight is great. Fed the mini tool into Riskrunner too. Read more

Better Devils dropped for me on one of my first Legendary drops. It’s been used ever since. I mean who doesn’t want a Hand Cannon with long range? Read more

Origin Story or bust. Plus Actium War Rig?

Yeah, but Kirk, have you tried the MIDA Multi-Tool? Read more

Burned my 290 Multitool to buff my Nameless Midnight. Fight me. Read more

There’s some background lore but the actual in-game narrative is terrible. Read more

My initial thoughts on the style of this choice was negative but then I started thinking before knee jerk posting. This style of review is actually more beneficial to the MMO experience than most others. You have your hardcore players who stream and do PVP and you have your casual players and then you have your people Read more

The story is an improvement but not compelling on its own I’d say. If you enjoyed Destiny 1, it might be worth it when you aren’t paying full price just to play through and explore some of the beautiful areas. They’ve improved the patrols with things called Lost Sectors. They’re not great for grinding, but it actually Read more

I love how meta your review is considering how Destiny is made or broken by the community or group of people you play with. Great review. Read more

The story and lore in D2 are what d1 should have been. You can literally play solo and have an amazing time. Read more
