8 Developers That Got Away With Selling You The Same Video Game Twice

1. Destiny 2

From the menus to the general rollout of content across its entirety, Destiny 2 adds a story and some fancy new pieces of loot, but really, deep down, it's the same Destiny as it was post-Rise of Iron, remixed and put back out with a number '2' on the box.

I've done a full-on breakdown of everything Bungie's latest gets wrong over here, but sufficed to say: Once you've gotten through the threadbare story and unlocked every major part of the game, it immediately sets in just how much this is Destiny 1: Redux.

Instead of having a Sparrow vehicle right away, you'll unlock it after the story - though it doesn't do anything new. Instead of starting with the classes you previously spent hours unlocking, you'll again get them across the story. DLC vehicles like Pikes and tanks also sporadically appear on the four small world maps you can explore, and every last enemy (save for a handful of animations) are exactly the same.

Then there's the identical character creator that hasn't added any new items whatsoever, and menus from an overworld to the pause screen that you'd have to hold up side by side and squint to tell apart.

Destiny 2 is objectively a fantastic-playing product, but as a sequel... well, that's another story.
