1. Extremely high filesize, no game content. This game legitimately has 4 missions per planet, then 2 strikes. One for the first two planets. That makes 6 strikes and 16 (more or less) missions to do, resulting in 25 with the addition of the Vault of Glass. This becomes repetitive, and gets boring, FAST.
2. Pay to win. The game became pay to win the second the first DLC came out. First legendary Sparrow? Pay to get it. Get max level? Pay to get it. New exotics sold by Xur? Well, you're gonna have to pay to get it. The phrase "pay2win" comes up alot, but that's mainly just grinding struggle. This is a literal pay to win, as you cannot max out without buying their DLC.
3. Parts of the disc locked off to make extra money. The DLC is already in-disc. This is proven by a YT video somebody made of going into the DLC area, the second one, coming soon, (likely even higher P2W requirements) and collecting all the dead ghosts in said area. I've done it myself. The fact that you have to pay $60 for the game itself is annoying, but to pay an extra $40 to unlock the other HALF of your disc is just plain silly. It's basically masking a $100 game into looking like a $60 game.
4. Crucible. Basically the only point where Activision comes into play, asides from DLC. (e.g Sledgehammer and Activision locking off Exo Zombies to DLC only in CoD: AW) This is one of the most, if not the most, cringeworthy parts of the game. I went 0.1 KDR and got an exotic sniper rifle, the Ice Breaker. Can't say I wasn't happy, but here's what I did. Got 1 kill, then taped my movement stick up to not get kicked for afking the game. Then I look at leaderboards, and the top players are rewarded with absolutely nothing. The rewards are generated randomly, without any form of regard to who did good or bad. This randomization pisses me off. It's common for top players to get no items and lower players to get good items, because it's just like CS:GO crate openings. If you're bad and new, why not get some real nice shit just to spur you on?
This game is possibly the most cringe-worthy game to ever exist. Anyone who has it, I pity you.
