You might think that since Destiny 1 failed so abysmally that we would pay no attention to the sequel. If you did think that then you were obviously wrong considering here we are. Day one Destiny 2 clocks in at around 31GB, which is no small amount of space.

Platform : Windows PC Developer : Bungie Publisher : Activision MSRP : $59.99 (Disclaimer: This version of Destiny was tested on a CyberPower PC with a nVidia GeForce GTX 1080, 32GB of DDR4 RAM and a liquid cooled Intel Core i7 7700K clocked at 4.2GHz. This PC was connected to a 28-inch 4K display.

House of Wolves wisely eliminates the worst parts of The Dark Below by offering a faster method to level gear, a better campaign, and varied endgame activities, assuming you have a regular crew to partake of them with.

Weak story; Stingy loot

over the last two weeks. I've been spending even more time just trying to figure out what I think of it. For those who aren't familiar,
