I thought the background gameplay was too hilariously bad not too include.

In this video we discuss Destiny's increasing complexity over the years. We gotta discuss builds, aspects, fragments, weapon crafting, armor mods, and champion mods so I'll try not to get lost. Let me know what you think, I'd love to hear it, thanks for stopping by!

-------------------------------------------------------
Destiny 2 may be getting a bit too complicated and I’m not sure it’s a good thing, this should be a good one.

Okay, for a moment let’s consider Destiny 1. If you did any raids back in the day you probably remember that if you didn’t have Gjallarhorn or ice breaker you were like the skinny kid no one wanted on their team,
Now of course you could get anything in the game done without gjallarhorn that was just…Taboo.
Destiny 2 has really evolved over the years and a huge part of that has been leaning more into “builds” with armor mods, aspects, fragments, and weapon crafting. This of course means that the most hardcore of players will spend a lot of time perfecting their damge output per second via the ideal combination of all the afore mentioned things. Now this is great for those players who either have the time to craft those builds or like that layer of complexity. However for the more casual audience, I can only imagine this may be pretty off putting if it isn’t what they’re looking for. Imagine you’re an average joe looking to run your first raid. You go over to bungie’s LFG site, join a team, and are met with someone asking why your armor isn’t master worked with volatile flow, champion mods, running deathbringer and sentinel shield, using this combination of aspects and fragments to be spewing out the ideal damage. All of that when Joe here just wants to run a certain little build of his own with weapons, and aspects that he likes. Now look, though I’ve run into a few, the majority of people aren’t “build perfectionists” like the guy I’m describing. However you can see the difference between Destiny 1’s PVE Meta and Destiny 2’s, everchanging might I add since mods change, PVE Meta.
It’s not all bad, especially recently Bungie has done a great job creating encounters in things like raids or Legendary campaign mode that allow for more player creativity and have less of a reliance on things like champions. I just started wondering here recently though if the game is starting to become a bit overcomplicated or overbearing to players who just want a bit more of a casual experience. I acknowledge however that it’s thin line between making a game casual friendly and cattering to a certain demographic, You don’t want a game to be too complicated however you also want the diehard fans to see a noticeable improvement upon putting a lot of time and effort into their build. I agree with a lot of the things Paul Tassi said in his recent video about champions and I’d definitely recommend checking it out if you haven’t already. I won’t spoil what he says in his video, but my take on champions is that I feel bungie should start to reconsider where they’re placed in game. I don’t do grandmaster nightfalls so I can’t comment on them however it is a bit annoying when the game’s difficulty feels like it’s being increased just by adding some champions that lock you or a teammate into using a certain type of weapon depending on the season. The mods for dealing with champions also take up a mod slot, so for players who love making the perfect build, I can only imagine that takes some of the fun out of it.

If you're into Halo Infinite, Destiny 2, Crysis, or Pokemon maybe subscribe, you may like something I put out. The future of Halo Infinite is a hot topic with season 2 just around the corner. The Witch Queen was one of Destiny's best expansions to date and has a promising future. I look forward to enjoying those things with you all!
