Some of that can happen in Skyrim too, but players have so many more options in that game. Ever-present fast travel makes retreat a much more attractive option. Easily-trained skills mean always having a strong backup option, with little need for either planning or improvisation. The same goes for having enemies that rely almost exclusively on dealing pure damage rather than attacking through debuffs and drains. It’s not necessarily easier, especially on higher difficulties, but it's more convenient for the player. It’s not 100% bad, but it does come at the cost of a potentially more rewarding and memorable adventure.

A great example of this can be seen in the differences between The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. On a technical level, Skyrim is clearly superior. It looks so much better than Morrowind that it’s almost silly to compare the two, and its combat doesn’t suffer from pure RNG like Morrowind’s does. Skyrim’s point-to-point fast travel opens up new options for combat and exploration; annoying mechanics like stat drain spells have been removed entirely and character building is practically automatic. All one has to do is play the game. These are all things that make Skyrim much more convenient than Morrowind, but they don’t necessarily make it better.

To earn the Title, players will need to collect every weapon, armor piece, and item in the Raid, complete the Raid at least 7 times using different weapons, and complete all the available challenges and Triumphs. Though the Deep Stone Crypt is not one of the most difficult Raids to complete, the volume of tasks required to earn the Title, as well as the complexity of some of the individual activities, can make Descendant one of the harder-fought Titles to unlock. Here's everything players need to do to unlock the Descendant Title in Destiny 2: Beyond Lig

Not everyone can call on a full fireteam to take up a six-person raid but the most helpful thing players who queue up solo can do is use that headset of theirs. In PvP, communication is the difference between a control point captured or lost, and using every opportunity to help your teammates with callouts (even after you've died) can make all the difference in team chemis

Levers open doors that typically provide access to Spores or Electric Cores players will need to destroy to either open another door or disable an electrical field. Spores grant a buff called the Egregore Link when players stand next to them and shoot them. With the buff, Guardians can pass through certain fields that are otherwise protected by a deadly substance that will slowly kill players who try to enter the pathway without the Egregore Link b

To escape, fans must shoot the metal grates on the ground to reveal power cores beneath. Shoot all the power cores (three total) to make the walls pause and retract. One of the grates will have a trapdoor beneath that will fall away after the walls cease moving. Guardians will then drop down the opening and continue making their way through the ship. The next big room players come across will spawn waves of Scorn. These enemies are tough and being able to destroy all three elemental shield types will be a plus in the next couple ro

Map knowledge in any first-person shooter is really the make or break for you and your team going into a given match. However, if the only time you ever learn about the map is when your fireteam is matchmaking publicly, you'll more than likely find yourself on the losing end of games. Destiny 2 isn't the only game to emphasize the importance of location in PvP modes. Take advantage of private and custom match lobbies where you can really strategize and learn the layout of the land before hopping into a live ma

Next, players will need to earn all seven Raid Completion Triumphs. Each of these Triumphs requires players to complete the Raid under certain conditions, usually with a team made entirely of a certain kind of class or Subclass. These incl

In Gambit, the overlap between PvE and PvP really shines, with countless enemies to consider while also trying to eliminate members of the opposing fireteam through invasions and mote collecting. However, in Gambit Prime the objective is made more difficult with the inclusion of wizards that need to be eliminated in order to do damage to the Primeval. Remember that Gambit Prime is one winner-take-all round, and whenever the Primeval is summoned, THREE wizards will need to be eliminated first to make the boss vulnera

Curse of Osiris was the first expansion for Destiny 2 and many fans had high hopes for it prior to its release. Unfortunately, those hopes came crashing down to earth, falling flat like the expansion itself. It was somewhat reminiscent of the earlier expansions for the original game: rich in quantity but lacking in qual

Games like Destiny 2 give players more chances to do cool things thanks to the wealth of options they make available. Still though, cool things tend not to stay cool when they come so easily. Taking down three or four players in four seconds with a Titan Slam or Golden Gun looks amazing and feels great at first. A few dozen time later though, it still looks cool but its just routine at that point. Limitations may makes these sorts of games feel more difficult most of the time, but it can be worth it for those moments when one overcomes those limitations and Iron Banner quest does something awesome.
