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 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!

  • What a -blam!-ing rip off,1 strike and 3 story missions,missions that we all know-are going to be more dinklebot defense because the devs are -blam!-ing lazy or just dont care.This game is becoming a joke,its sad.So much for a major improvement

  • No. Because: 1) If it's $19.99 (US Dollars) then in the UK it should cost £12.40 (Pound Sterling) in accordance with the current exchange rate. I'm being ripped off for being in the UK. Yeah, nice day to you too Activision/Bungie. 2) £19.99 is a ridiculous price for DLC. For £19.99 I can buy a brand new copy of [url=http://www.amazon.co.uk/UBI-Soft-300055079-Watch-Dogs/dp/B00844PENW][b]Watchdogs (PS3)[/b][/url]. For less than £34.99 I can buy [url=http://www.amazon.co.uk/Alien-Isolation-Nostromo-Edition-PS3/dp/B00KL4PNT8/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1414601511&sr=1-1&keywords=alien+isolation+ps3][b]Alien: Isolation Nostromo Edition (PS3)[/b][/url]. No matter the content of the DLC it is still not a whole new game and it should not be priced as one. If they lower The Dark Below to around £12 then I will consider buying it because that would be a fair price.

  • If the DLC was $10-$12, I would have considered it. But at $20, nope. And it's not that I can't afford it or any stupidness related affordability. It's that we would pay 1/3 the price of the original game for 1/7 the content we already have which feels incomplete. That math, does not sit well with me. It's why I refused to buy any DLC that wasn't worth the ratio of the price.

    • Actually we shouldn't be getting this crap until they finish the basics of the game, aka, story. If we had an elaborate story that could be added onto, then ill buy whatever small dlcs you throw at me

    • Undecided. I'm not happy with Activision, the story and the lack of content, but I have a blast playing with friends and love the combat system, and I'm not ready to give up on Destiny and Bungie yet. I'm curious to see how Destiny progresses.

    • I actually like destiny a lot. I enjoy playing it with my friends in a group of three or 6. That's all I got to say

    • I think that I'll likely be buying it at some point, but as for right now I think that I'm gonna check the reviews and see what some of my friends are saying beforehand. I will admit, that despite the story lacking quite a bit and the obvious flaws that are in this game, there is just something weird that keeps me coming back to this game nearly everyday after work.

    • I think its worth it yet 3 missions is a little light, along with 1 strike.. BUT it does increase playtime. We ll now have a 2nd raid to grind through, and more gear to acquire. The problem? Lots of people have 3 characters now, so gear can be acquired faster. So I doubt itll carry us over to next dlc. But I agree, other games sell 3-4 maps @ $15-20. So its on par

    • No, I really don't see myself playing Destiny by the release date. Not because (insert game here) will be better, or this game sucks, but because I kind of have gamer ADD. Not a lot of games hold my interest long enough to worry about DLC.

    • I have the season pass already, so i'm glad i will get this for free. Technically i guess this is an "expansion" on the story, but to be honest this really should be called a DLC update. My only hope is that these 3 missions have some substance to them, Preferably something that is longer than 10 minutes of defending a locked door.

      • Not that COD is the benchmark, but seeing it makes a crap ton of money ...don't they charge $10 for two maps usually? In reality, that is pretty much industry norm. if so, this is a pretty sweet deal (comparatively)

        • I don't see the issue. That is more bang for your buck than your average DLC for most games.

          • I was hyped into the Expansion Pass through the Limited Edition. They get nothing else from me for this shell, unless they fill it with something meaningful.

          • Complete rip off to be honest. Especially if you're from the UK. The only things of real note in this DLC are the raid and strike. Is this worth £20. Errrrrm NO.
