Destiny launched September 9, 2014. And in that time, I have had a most… tenuous? abusive? feckless?… eh… I’ll keep it simple and say aggravating relationship with this franchise. It’s… SO COOL! It has SO MUCH POTENTIAL! And yet – almost to bring me in awe, how Bungie has always managed to miss the mark in some way. This has been true for me up to this point as I post this.

SO as I have sit here watching this preview of what is to come; I have to say it looks GREAT! Because of course it does. Basically everything else has too, and now with retrospect I'm here with nothing but a deep *sigh* to keep check of my memory. Yet watching this, I get a feeling that Bungie – collectively – has finally figured this shit out. FINALLY! And yet… Baby, Don’t Hurt Me. No More. Don’t get my hopes up just so I can bleed again. Stop. Dam it stop.

No more.

I’m also expecting the story delivery to suck, so whatever.

With that said, these are my thoughts.

• Ahem. HOLY SHIT HOLY SHITHOLY SHIT HOLY SHITHOLY SHIT HOLY SHITHOLY SHIT HOLY SHITHOLY SHIT HOLY SHITHOLY SHIT HOLY SHITHOLY SHIT HOLY SHITHOLY SHIT HOLY SHITHOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT … THEY FREEKING DID IT! THEY GAVE THE HUNTER SOLAR KNIVES! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA… oh and the other supers are awesome too, because Duh! Yet this is the bigger deal to me quite obviously.
  
  I should explain.
  
  I’ve been yammering on about the Solar Hunter Super since Destiny launch. I can't seem to find the number of instances where I mention my thoughts on it, but I very briefly mentioned my utter boredom for it in my Destiny 2 Beta Thoughts. But somewhere... somewhere deep within the recesses of this forum here that I, after an hour of search could not seem to find, where I mentioned my rendition of what I would have made the Hunter solar super be. Where I explain in detail how I would have it be a set of Solar knives, and I recall Korny mention that such did sound cool.
  
  Well... here it FREEKING is! I'm truly ecstatic to get my hands on it.
  
  
  
  
• The new mode, “Gambit”, is basically Competitive Firefight. I would have played a standard firefight and been quite content. By adding a competitive human element, Bungie may have very likely turned this mode to 11 and I look forward to putting it to its paces. This mode is sorely needed.
  
  
• My Actual words when I saw “Annual Pass” - Ah shit.
  
  
  Am I surprised? Nah. It's just the DLC track record that's all. They say it's going to be different this time. Well, I guess we'll see.
  
  
• New Roadmap.
  
  
  All I really care about at this point is organization, and ease of use. If Bungie can get the aspects of the game out of my way, as far as I'm concerned it'll be the best thing ever to happen to this game. Get the game out of the way, so I can play the game.
  
  
• I’m not surprised that the Compound Bow is now in Destiny, as it was THE thing to have in a videogame in awhile. And it’s for a good reason – it’s fun to use. Look forward to useing this.
  
  
• Lore Collection.
  
  If it wasn’t for what they are doing for Faction Rally 2.0, I would possibly find the potential of this aspect promising. Now? Not a gosh darn'd thing. Isn't that just awful.

I expect more thoughts to come, but these here the bits the jumped out at me on the initial viewing.
