The 6,400 word 2023 Destiny 2 State of the Game post that was published by Game Director Joe Blackburn yesterday has seemingly united disparate fans and content creators all across the playerbase.
Kind of expected this response.

The worst part is those campaigns were good. People hate on red war sometimes but I have fond memories of it, the almighty mission was crazy, infiltrating a solar powered Death Star beam ship near the sun. It was crazy cool.
Forsaken’s campaign and story were pretty cool too. It sucks that you have no choice but YouTube for that content. All of Destiny 1 is still playable but Destiny 2 year 1-2 is gone forever.
I’m one of the people who hated Red War. I stand by that it was a crap story after all these years. Cayde being a “haha funny robot man” wasn’t entertaining, it was annoying. Fail safe, as much as I personally found the split personality to be entertaining, it’s also annoying. I don’t even want to talk about Asher. The less I think about him, the better.
It also felt like there was no reason to care about Ghaul as a villain. On top of that, my biggest gripe was the fact that we got our abilities back two missions into the game. I thought we were going to have to do at least several things lightless but nope. Just some, admittedly beautiful moments of walking through the landscapes without our powers.
I am glad you found something enjoyable about it though. Just for me, Y1D2 was just like Y1D1, a genuine disappointment.
I get it and you don’t have to like it, but the fact that Ghaul is still popping up in seasonal stories (haunted I think?) it’s just stupid that they are referencing a story that they cut from the game. Newer players have no way of experiencing the Ghaul story but are expected to understand his role in the seasonal story?
As for the rest of year 1 Curse of Osiris was garbage. I liked warmind and wasn’t deep enough into lore to be super upset about killing a hive wormgod in a strike.
Apologies, I wasn’t defending Bungie removing it from the game if there was confusion. I don’t agree with them taking the content out of the game that directly explains a villain we had at one point and then, at the very least, not adding an alternative for New Lights to understand old Year 1 and Year 2 stuff. I just really don’t like the Red War and I genuinely feel like people forget why I and others didn’t enjoy it, know what I mean?
