I've been playing since the D1 beta and I have to say this ending is so underwhelming to me for the light and dark saga. I genuinely thought Bungie brought back the spark of joy I felt with all of D1 when forsaken came out in D2 but my hopes were quickly squashed with further lore retcons, terrible writing, awful seasons, Bungies odd obsession with the cabal, death having 0 impact with uldren and cayde coming back just to force uldren as cayde's replacement. The only joy I had in D2 after forsaken was when they brought back the original D1 raids, nostalgia is one hell of a drug but when crotas end was given the moments of triumph armor as it's set and both kings fall and vog didn't get theirs, I was super disappointed. I was further disappointed with light fall being trash and overly synthwave feeling, I couldn't take it seriously at all and hated every second with it. Only positive thing I can say about final shape is that I actually enjoyed the interesting visuals of areas built by the witness but I also don't like the witness and his awful design. I also hate that season pass rewards are no longer exclusive to being there, they'll just sell it to you later anyway so I haven't bothered grinding seasons anymore since I noticed that. I also hate that Bungie just decided to dumb everything down like trials with the Mercy card giving 2 loss forgiveness I've also recently received an email about everything I've done in game and it said I completed all the campaigns which I thought I did but for years I thought I somehow never finished curse of Osiris because in my collections I have every campaign emblem including the class specific ones except the curse of Osiris one and for years the game told me that I didn't but now I don't care anymore because I am officially done with destiny as a whole, I already know that the writing is trash is bad and isn't going to get any better. I'm surprised that Bungie didn't even give an emblem or shader or something to people who've stuck around since the beginning, only thing I get is a hand unique dialog for certain things in early game content and the veteran transmat effect for ships but I already know that just like everyone else we don't matter at all. I really wanted to enjoy destiny for years cause I love the vex and vault of glass, anything vex related but they're rarely used and this new saga starting with the vex doesn't make me want to continue playing, cause I already know that it's going to devolve into a cabal obsession with the story again and characters being introduced and then quickly removed in the span of 6 missions every expansion with no built connection and no emotional impact when they're killed off. I'm done with destiny, only thing I'll come back is the remake of the wrath of the machine raid from D1 to get one more nostalgia hit with a few updated tweaks and never coming back again. I also find it ironic that the my favorite stuff introduced to destiny 2 was just reprised destiny 1 stuff. I'll be back for 1 wrath of the machine run or if it never comes then I guess it's gg's I'll be on warframe. DL/DR: I am disappointed, bye. P.S. sorry for any errors I wrote this with no sleep at 4 am
