If you ever need a break from Apex….
Might I recommended the newest Battle Royale Rumbleverse! Totally different way to play the game with no guns just running around a city “Grapital City” that is and beating each other with fists, el...

I still recommend destiny for a change of pace. Tons of story and lore, super fun pve (for the love of God stay away from pvp crucible, iron banner, and trials of Osiris if you value your sanity.)
All three light sub classes were updated to the 3.0 status offering ability customization. There's Tons of fun grinding. There's a new season, season of plunder, involving two new season long LTM, quests, and story involving alien pirating. And next year a dlc that has me hyped as a huge lore nerd.
@DK9027 Read my mind. Loving the new season so far. I'm tempted to just drop Apex all together. It's just become "silly", and off putting, to put it politely. Even the forums are a ghost town compared to what they were. So many left. Same old stuff I've read 1000 times. Boring.
- @Sand_spitter I'd try looking around the creators corner. A lot of imaginative people there coming up with legend, weapon, and occasionally map concepts. I for one am nearing the end of my whole project. Just four more concepts to jot down, work on them, then post and I'll be done with the last have of then final part.
Over two years of hard work, story writing, and world building and then I'm finally done. I've put my heart and soul into it. Maybe I'll try my hand at a season of Destiny afterwards. The next Destiny 2 expansion (Lightfall) will finally get rid of power level it seems. Which is good, it was an arbitrary gatekeep to activities.
There is a great story there, problems are:
- They have always done TERRIBLE at making it clear where you go next to advance it. When I first started playing (in the Red War days) I wandered the EDZ for months because I had no idea what to do, but it was still fun to explore.
- The Developer Who Shall Not Be Named (who is no longer in a role to ruin this more, at least) came up with the idea of "vaulting" both guns AND THE FREAKING SINGLE PLAYER STORY CAMPAIGNS when they got too old. So, no, Red War and Forsaken (which was an awesome story in it's own right) are not available to new players. For all intents and purposes, the story now starts with Shadowkeep (which is still good, I loved it, creepy as * and got me thru the first year of the Pandemic).
At least now they have admitted and they are working on:
- Making it easier to find the next story beat.
- They will no longer vault any story expansions.
- They are also trying to put more lore in the gameplay and cutscenes, rather than in digital books you read (that make it hard to know what order these happened in).
Oddly, as disjointed as it can be, I still feel Destiny 2 respects my time a LOT more than Apex.
- @Kyldenar I would love apex more if they did more with the story.
It's disjointed, new legends aren't the stars of the seasonal story and take a back seat to others or aren't involved at all, there's little character development.
I know for a br that things are probably be limited. But I'd think they could di better than this
I still say seer is objectively boring lore wise for no real conflicts.

With the same cast and controls, just PvE based (even better - team PvE based) I would play the * out of that.
Kinda hoping the PvE elements on Storm Point are proof of concept testing for said game.
- @Kyldenar Is Destiny easy to get into? Never played it before other than I believe a demo or beta way back in the ps3 days.
- @Cheese9Man Well, as a lot is free to play (Patrols, Strikes, Gambit, PvP) I would say it's best to download on Steam, see what you think. If you like the basics, then I would go with Witch Queen expansion first (most recent story) unless you want to play in order, in which case you start with Shadowkeep (Moon's Haunted. {loads gun with intent}).
