Once again, Skill Up's thoughts are pretty great. (Destiny)

-How much are you willing to pay to get the game that you should have received at launch? "Forsaken is a retreat to the best parts of Destiny 1", as he puts it (a lot of it has to do with general changes that will affect everyone, even those without the DLC).

I hate this narrative so fucking much. The game we got at launch was a damn good game, and better than D1 in just about every way. I guess I’m in the minority on that line of thinking.

You're not. And I couldn't watch this video past the halfway point (he made argument after argument that made my eyes roll, until he claimed that Destiny 2's base game was "a shitty launch product" - at which point I said "enough" and closed the window).

His perception of this game is so far outside the universe of my own perceptions that I can't even listen to his arguments.

While I had issues with the endgame in Destiny 2's launch product, I felt that the first run through (before any changes were made) was quite solid. I even think the token system is a great idea, it just needed some work and some more content to support it.
