Patient Gamers

Not especially.

A few years back, in November 2020, Bungie decided to vault all of the DLC before their most recent at the time (Shadowkeep); this was to both keep the game fresh and without cheesy weapons and whatnot, as well as to keep the game size lower. The thing is, those campaigns and raids that they vaulted? Those were the only Free-to-play aspects aside from the basic game modes at the time.

What I'm getting at here though is that because they got rid of those experiences, a lot of the story elements that were previously established with those campaigns were gone. Now the only way to experience them is to: a) Look at the in-game Timeline b) read the lore books in their tab, or c) watch YouTube for a good 2 hours at least to figure out what the hell the Fallen are, why the Witness is our Big Bad, and why Taniks always comes back.

I played 1 and enjoyed it but thought it was a bit lacking. I love sci-fi games so I'm easy to please eith this stuff tho.

You don't have to play the first game, the second one doesn't really reference anything specific to the first (that I'm aware of anyways, it's been years since I played it!)

The game seems simple enough at first, but when you get into it, it is actually impressively complex. Great story, great action, lots of places to explore. It has a little bit of everything.

The basic game is free so if you want to try playing it with us you are more than welcome! Let me know if you do and I'll private message you my username so we can be Destiny friends!
