Bungie’s Destiny 2 has been struggling as of late to keep players engaged. Following The Final Shape, player counts have been plummeting with no sign of improvement.
Following the release of Revenant Act 3, the game’s latest content drop, fans have grown tired of Bungie’s storytelling as the long-running series continues to repeat the same familiar beats.
Fans hate Destiny 2’s repetitive story
After finishing the new Destiny 2 Revenant Act 3 content, fans took to various social medias to complain about the update’s grind, new bugs and the overall story of the new content.
Spoilers Ahead
On the Destiny 2 subreddit, players expressed upset at Bungie’s writing for Revenant Act 3. Alongside Mithrax “having his entire multi-year character development ripped from him in a single mission”, players are tired of Bungie’s constant attempts to give characters a “redemption arc”.
Eramis, a treacherous villain that has been a constant cause of suffering in Destiny, has now been given their own redemption arc. Despite fans despising the character, the story has crowbarred in a forced redemption that fans have not sat well with.
“I would be okay with redemption arcs if they actually put in the work to earn it,” one fan explained after finishing the new content. “Eramis has not shown an ounce of introspection or changed behavior.”
“Not every character needs a f*****g redemption arc,” one particularly upset fan said. “Especially one so viscerally hated by almost the entire community… the story feels like it’s been ripped from a sh***y anime with 30-50 word long titles.”
Eramis’ “redemption” has been a particular sore point for long-returning fans of the game. While fans fought the beast in Beyond Light, they’ve also been waiting for a rematch to finally end them once and for all. Well, that’s not happening.
