Nah, the Bungie developed Halo games were great. Literally ruled the world. Bungie lost their way when they started mistreating their own major employees (the reason the number 7 is so prevalent in Bungie stuff). Poisoned the watering hole.
Joe Staten wrote out this whole world and plan for Destiny 1 and then Jason Jones scrapped it and Frankensteined it with his friends fantasy thing. And he locked Joe Staten out of the conversations about Destiny 1 after that. Joe Staten had written the Dreadnaught (which ended up in the Taken King expansion) as the end game area of the base game. That and what they did to Marty, you don’t do that without some serious internal problems.
The finals isn’t even a looter shooter though, it’s an arena shooter.
The finals is pretty damn fun though I will say.
I’ll also say I wanted marathon to work, any good competition to tarkov is welcome because I’m not fucking supporting Nikita and his idiotic practices anymore. He got EOD money from me in 2016/17, hope he made good use of it
the finals is AMAZING. I picked it back up this season, every complaint I had with the beta and first season was fixed. it’s just so damn fun to play with friends, I can’t praise it enough
They aren’t making a shitty finals. Last I heard they originally wanted to make a tarkov style extraction shooter, but when they got Tarkov creators to play it and call it shit they pivoted into some kind of a tarkov/overwatch mix of hero based extraction shooter or something like that.
That’s when I stopped paying attention as it’s most likely in development hell.
Imagine having that entire lore to work with and you make a shitty “The Finals” with it.
Bungie lost their way the moment Microsoft pulled gaming away from Mac.

And that all happened under Microsoft?
No, that happened under Activision, once Destiny moved beyond just simple story beats and started getting into a more detailed development cycle.

There are few things more fun than launching the acetylene tanks at everything and everyone at every opportunity
