Don't buy anything for this game unless you're prepared to buy everything. I started playing with the latest expansion (Beyond Light). I've enjoyed the PVE gunplay and grinding has been fine.

The reviews I'd read saying that the transition to seasonal content instead of players having access to all the original stories and locations in the DLCs concerned me but I thought I'd give the game a try. Here playing for a few weeks and this time when the weekly missions refreshed (the main way of levelling up), one of the main events is behind a paywall for one of the older DLCs (Which you can't replay the full story from).

If you're not happy to buy all the DLCs to be given the intermittent opportunity to play small slices of them : don't bother buying any. Save your money.

The pvp felt hopelessly imbalanced and meta-driven, though admittedly I didn't play enough to understand the meta. I couldn't be arsed. The pvp is described as not level dependent - and yet you can go into a match, light someone up with multiple magazines from your weapon and then have them 1shot you. So yes, not level dependant - but subject to such specific gear meta that nomatter how well you shoot or how bad your enemy : the thing deciding the fight is the gear.

Heard rumours of the rampant hacking in destiny and to be honest : I didn't see many players miss shots. Getting sniped at impossible angles and prefired happened in every single match.
