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 was getting bored with the PvE part of destiny and then I played the raid, I'll buy the DLC just for the raids cause they are unbelievably fun and incredibly tough

  • I can understand that since we aren't paying a subscription this dlc will never be more than just large patch content. I think what we are getting a very very bare bones prologue of a story which may not be expanded upon until destiny 2. Until then it will be an insert person here to warn us about raid there until they get the sequel out. The game plays great so as long as it keeps the game even mildly fresh you can expect me to stick around. I only hope this dlc can prove me wrong by delivering more than just or pre raid story

  • Actually I think the only bullshit thing is having to pay for additional bounty slots. Imo they should give it to all players regardless if they buy the DLc or not. Me myself I got a season pass and Im happy. Spent over 200 hrs in destiny, will spend some more before the DLC and hopefuly after. New raid is great, new loot is great, light levels is great, hope they can improve on the story missions (even tho I enjoyed some of the original story missions).

    • Honestly, I love Destiny. I think it's a great game. But, I will not be purchasing the DLC. I am an xbox user. I see people saying stuff like "you should have picked the better console", really? Are you that much of an ass? No one knew that when the DLC came out, xbox users would have to wait a YEAR for something they PAID for. this is the first time something of this extent has happened, and I feel it will bite them in the ass. I hate all of this context exclusive crap. Big corps don't care about the gamers, as long as they make that paycheck. It sucks :/ I can see where the future of gaming will go. I don't even want to see what the next multi-platform game has for exclusive content. Maybe Microsoft will buy out the exclusive content and make Sony players buy the DLC for the same price, and then make them wait 2 years for something. It's all just so stupid. I'm not bashing Sony; props to them for buying the exclusive content rights, but I'm not spending the same amount of money on something and getting less than someone else. /rant

    • Yes Im buying because there will easily be more than 50 hours of game play added and thats well worth the money. Also Destiny is a great game. And I am sure over half of those who voted they werent going to buy it probably will. Stop hating on a great game obviously there are more people who enjoy it then dont.

      • It all depends on if some other games I have been looking forward to are going to get pushed back or not. I can't see myself still playing this game much longer unless the division gets pushed back or canceled: Let alone many other titles that are coming out in a month.

      • I'm not happy about the price but crying about it unfortunately won't do jack, so yes I'm buying the DLC but only because I find this game very fun to play and it'll be a small but nice breath of fresh air.

      • I've decided to give this one a shot, I don't expect much though, but if it somehow exceeds my expectations and winds up being really good then I'll get the next ones. If not, I won't.

      • The having to pay for additional bounty slots has Activision written all over it, they did the same thing in Ghost. If there was any doubt that the motivation behind this cutting content and making the costumer pay for it wasn't Activision, the details of this new DLC has put all doubt to rest. As of right now, I don't have any options when it comes to ps4 so I will be paying for the DLC. You can't trust Ubisoft or Activision at this point so I'm staying away from both AC Unity and COD AW at least until reviews come in. The only real option is The Division but that's Ubisoft as well and I'm not holding my breath.

        • I've put a lot of time into destiny. More than I do with most games. So even for all their shortcomings, I am happy with my purchase. With that said though, I'm not too enthused with what I'll be getting for $20. If they would have an extra map location with the rest of the content I would more than happily hand over $20. But without an extra map, I'm hard pressed to want to buy it. However, my wife is really enjoying this game. More than me it seems. So I will be buying at least the first DLC. I'll give it one more chance. After enough play time, if I think it was worth the $20, I'll buy the second DLC. If not, then my wife will pay for it and not me. But I'm sure she'll still be playing even if I'm not.

          • Its great that our light is higher. It would have been nice for it to be 40, because it seems like getting 2 more levels will only take a day The thing I am not to to happy about is the fact that the xbox users were promised 2 strikes, yet we have to wait until 2015 to play the 2nd one. I am fine with the wait, what I wanted was it to say on the dlc when I was buying it "2nd strike available in 2015" instead of my false hope to get 2 strikes immediately

            • I will get the DLC because I enjoy the content that Bungie has already put out. It isn't shaking the foundations of gaming like everyone thought it would, but it is solid and I enjoy it. I am hoping that the DLC strike is going to be a little more on the challenging side, something similar to Dust Palace where the psion bosses have shields and take cover. Chasing them out of cover and deciding when to unload on them is a big part of doing that strike with out anyone getting killed.

            • They offer just as much as any other games dlc and I have enjoyed this game for many many hours so it has been worth my money and will continue to be worth my money

            • Aside from the small amount of content in it (I get that map packs cost about this much in other pvp fps, but I'm talking about the story campaign stuff, it's being sold as a story dlc, so I'm judging it as that). But the Harold Ryan interview just put me off a bit, he basically said that they realized they didn't get the story right, they did this one differently (didn't specifically say how) and that fans should shell out 20 to find out if they did it right this time, if not, they'll just keep tweaking the way they do the story... I'd rather not be part of an ongoing trial and error project so I'm not buying. If the dlc gets amazing reviews then maybe I'll buy it, or just wait for the game of the year edition.

            • Its alot for a DLC. Some DLC's only give 3 multiplayer maps and thats it. The reason why most people are complaining is because of the limited content the game has and its getting repetetive. Even though the DLC has some good content I was expecting a new planet like mercury or saturn and the light lv. Cap at least 35. I'll still buy it anyways. I hope in the future they will unlock free areas or make cool events to make the game more interesting.

              People who keep saying £20/$20 isnt much....yeah you're right but you're missing the point. £20/$20 isnt alot of money to me either but why would I pay £20/$20 for something that isnt worth that much money? You wouldn't pay £20/$20 for a pint of milk no matter how much you like milk would you?

              • so almost 1500 people are happy with the DLC, little over 800 unhappy with it. I already got the season pass but I'd buy the expansion. hell I'm thinking about buying a second copy of the game and season pass for a friend so he can play with me.
