Destiny 2 players enthuse over memories montage, complain about shaders

Let’s face it: Players will never be completely happy. Your average player may swing from a most ardent fan to a scathing critic in the span of an hour, if the circumstances are right. So how’s it going for Destiny 2’s console crowd following launch? A little of both, it turns out.

Not everyone is happy with Bungie’s choice to make shaders (gear dyes) a one-shot prospect. Some are grousing that this decision may be underpinning future microtransactions in the cash shop. On the positive side, Destiny 2’s customized beginning that celebrates players’ past achievements in the previous game (including giving a nod to their friends who were with them) has received applause.

You can check out an example of the opening after the break. As a bonus, we’ve got an Entertainment Weekly video highlighting the principle voice cast for the game. It’s just another excuse to squint and imagine that Captain Mal is back, really.
