I posted ages ago when the DLC was supposedly leaked and what a complete joke it was! Most of the fan-boys went mental to defend the practice of DLC with its "just content markers" or "there is more content" or "I'm a broke ass/ self entitled whiner" lol. now we have details on the content its even less than originally thought... 1. $20/£19.99 Standalone $34.99/£34.99 Season Pass 2. Light Cap: Lvl 32 3. New Armor and Weapons 4. 5 New Bounty Slots 5. new character Eris in story mode, with 3 new missions 6. New Strike: The Will of Crota 7. New Raid: Crota's End 8. New PvP Maps: Pantheon, Skyshock, The Cauldron 9*. Exclusive Strike for Playstation: The Undying Mind Out December 9, 2014 Personally this is joke and complete rip off I want new planets with content and space battles, new gameplay ideas etc. I have seen so many good ideas on the forums yet they release this garbage! Edit 1- I don't care about other games, my point is DLC in general is a rip off and only encourages publishers to release half finished games and shoddy DLC! Edit 2 - Perspective... you brought Destiny for likely £40 probably more. You got 20+ story missions, 4/5 strikes, raid and all the rest. Your gonna pay half that for 3 story's 1 raid 1 strike and rest.... COME ON WAKE UP Edit 3 - WOW so much hate! As consumers you should expect more, defending DLC seriously ? "You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inert, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it" Edit 4 - I'm from the UK so for our American friends £20 = $32, £35 = $56. To be more clear as some people are confused in America you can buy both DLC packs for $35 which is about £22. in the UK we would effectively be paying $56 for the same content Edit 5 - Loads of response and great feedback and only a few idiots posting :) as it stands - Yes is winning by about 100 votes which is surprising as the general consensus from the comments is more in favour of no and disappointment, however UK gamers are clearly far more pissed at the price and rightly so. - Huge amount of people already purchased the DLC happy at 450 votes with 230 people unhappy they already bought DLC. - Also 177 people sat on the fence undecided Edit 6 - Great response well over 3k votes! as it stands on 31st at 10 am in order of the poll.. Y=795 N=572 Und=383 DontC=105 (lol why vote then) have SP happy = 1010! have SP Angry = 469 Edit 7 - IMO the content is disgraceful for the price. I think the game lacks content already and is highly repetitive for no good reason. Alot of people justify the cost by the time spent on the game, to me its irrelevant its quality not quantity. Yes you spent 100 hours in game but half of that was doing the same stuff over and over and over etc. lots of people justify the price by comparing to other costs cinema/food etc again i don't agree its comparable for example i could buy a music album and listen to that for the next 40 years! DLC is way for publishers to milk money from consumers and its unsettling how many people actually don't care and worse even defend the practice! Only way to change this is to vote with your wallet! If consumers didn't buy DLC publishers would hit the panic button and actually think twice before they release games and DLC that would actually be worth a purchase. For the price of £35 i can buy another game and will do so.

  • I don't see the problem with this. I would pay 20$ just for a new raid. From what it looks like, they're selling me a 100 hours worth of content. I', happy with that.

          • I feel like we should have gotten a raid per planet just for buying the game. We should also get new planets when buying the dlc. Complete with new raids and missions. Only three story missions..... Pretty lame. Really lame. I don't see ten years at this rate. Honestly I don't see ten months at this rate.

              hell no!!! not enough content to be worth the value. within 12 hours of release, all that content will be completed, and there will be level 32's. most of that content should be released free, and the DLC should be new content as in new planets, and raids on EACH planet. level cap should be raised to 35 if not 40 weapons and gear

                Yes. Ive gotten alot out of what is already here, and would like more. I am disappointed that they are withholding a strike, but ive already debated that in another thread. And this isnt the thread for such a debate (due to the nature of it). Why is it you care about what i spend my money on?

                • I almost certainly will buy DLC. I'm not really sure if its a ripoff yet...... and I have mixed feelings about locked on-disc content. On one hand I want to feel I am valued and that I'm not being exploited, and on the other hand I just want to keep playing Destiny and see what happens with the storyline and get new guns and armor and toys.

                  • I really don't play much as it is. So it's not something that frustrates me. I bought the limited edition so I guess I can't be anything, but happy.

                  • I'm undecided as I think £34.99 is expensive for what's basically a couple of new maps. Previous posters are right, I expect new planets or a new enemy for that price. You can buy a brand new game for similar. I'll see when it's released whether it's worth it but at the moment I'm not considering pre purchasing the season pack. For the benefit of doubt, I still love Destiny and am not gonna put it down any time soon but another £35 after a couple of months since I laid out £40 odd for the game? I'm sure really not sure.

                  • Yeah I'm out on the game. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it. I feel I got my money's worth at 120 hours of gameplay. But if the dlcs aren't going to fundamentally change the game, I just really don't see still playing this on December. I've exhausted the current gameplay. They made another halo is all they did.

                    I will not be buying the DLC. I've come to realize that this game is one massive grind with no payoff. I have played my $60 worth of Destiny, and once Halo 2 comes out, I'm putting destiny down for good. The grind kept me occupied for a decent amount of time, but the game has grown very repetitive, and now the lack of content is showing. I tried to fill the void of content with PvP, but it's missing that feeling of a casual game, or the intensity of a competitive game. PvP feels like a poor combination of the two, and it's missing too much (like really no CTF? every FPS has CTF). I can't say I didn't have fun, but I can't say I was truly entertained. If/when "Destiny 2" releases, I'll actually pay attention to reviews and not hype Bungie and the community puts out.

                  • I don't think I'm going to be buying it. I play Destiny just as much as the next guy, if not more, but this just doesn't seem like enough to hold my attention. As an xbox user, I'm gonna pay $20 for the "expansion pack" to get the only mentionable thing which is 1 strike and 1 raid. And honestly, I don't really feel like waiting a year is gonna make me excited to get that 1 extra strike that I paid for, yet can't play.

                    • Bought the pass earlier. I guess I was blinded, tried to have faith in Bungie. I was hoping for something new and dynamic to the core of the game. I guess I wanted the game to be "fixed" and that these expansions would be really worth it. Now I can see how it really is. This is the game and it's not getting better, the "expansion" doesn't miraculously save the game from the hollow shell it is (even though I've played it a lot). Also, same price for Xbox with less content? Come on. Ridiculous and insulting. I don't respect Bungie like I used to. They could be a PR firm for all I care. They sold me a lie, and I bought it. I regret buying the expansion pass. If for some reason the DLC content ends up impressing me, I'll let you guys know, but it's not looking bright. I hope O'Donnell composed some good tunes for Bungie to use in the so-called expansions before he got the boot (he was too talented and knew what he was doing).

                    • I'm really not happy with this expansion. I've enjoyed Destiny for the most part thus far, but I really feel like we should get more from these expansions. At least 3 strikes, not 1, and for sure more story missions. New subclasses, gun types, gameplay mechanics, play spaces, whatever, expansions should actually bring something to the table. And only a level cap raise of 2? Come on. Only thing I'm looking forward to is the Raid. I don't want to buy this DLC as an act of protest (I can afford it, I have a job,), but I'll have to hold out. If I hear the Raid is good and the pack is selling well anyways, I'll probably cave and buy it. House of Wolves had better bring something serious out.

                    • I wonder if they will release a special edition of the dlc but instead of a little ghost replica we can get all these little animals and critters that we enjoy so much. Picture this! The Dark Below: primate edition! Or sell it in a nice little box with a hand crank to open it and... wait for it... POP GOES THE WEASEL!
