Judging from what we got (Destiny)

That is why I asked; I don’t make AAA games and on the outside, Des2ny looks just like Destiny.

Does it? Aesthetically sure. As he pointed out, Destiny 2 Patrols are so far above and beyond what we saw in Destiny, I honestly am still in awe half the time. That alone justifies abandoning Destiny and making a separate sequel, in my book.

Yes, but those are changes just in scope. Refinements if you will. We expected this with the abandonment of last gen.

Of course we did. I wouldn’t have expected them if they were still shackled to merely adding onto Destiny 1 without really starting over. And sometimes starting over really means that, and leaving previous refinements and features behind, too. I won’t say it’s not disappointing, and I won’t even say it’s unrealistic to want feature parity. I am saying that it was obviously the cost of starting over, and I think it was a good decision, even given that cost.
