I already have a season pass, but I'm "angry". (more like disappointed) 3 story missions? 3? Three? You could only muster THREE story missions, Bungie? Really? whatever. Maybe you spent the time on giving us a handful of strikes! what? one strike? Two if you're part of the master race? Two strikes? I've been playing the same 6 strikes since launch, and those got boring and repetitive after two or so weeks. You think two strikes are going to make even a ripple in that pool of repetition? let alone one for the XBros out there? And one raid. This I am fine with, because .. honestly, I didn't expect more than one, as it is more or less the centerpiece. But for $20, you expect us to be satisfied with 3 missions (LAUGHABLE!) two strikes, and one raid? with a smattering of new trinkets? Oh wait, 3 PvP maps, which in this game, equate to 3 new backdrops to your mutually assured destruction with all the one-shot killers in this game. (PvP is nearly abysmal in Destiny, focus on PvE, or balance PvP first (AND SEPARATELY, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD), at least) The industry has become so used to gouging us end users, it's pathetic. Content like this 10 years ago would run for roughly $10. I don't know who started the whole $20 per DLC thing, but Skyrim made it work. You know why? because skyrim's DLC's were MASSIVE! HOURS AND HOURS of content, Even then.. I wasn't willing to take the dive. But Destiny? I took the dive, for hopes of actual EXPANSIONS. What do we get? the content equivalent of a mini DLC pack for any other game. An expansion should be a fully-fleshed out storyline, complete with new characters, a deep, rich new story, and THEN content. lots of it. Look at World of Warcraft. An expansion in that game is almost a stand-alone game in and of its self. This is a pure money grab by Activision/Bungie, and it really makes me sick that the industry has become so money hungry, and blinded by greed that they feel absolutely no remorse for gouging their (in a lot of cases) Loyal customers, simply because they will pay.

  • The PvP crowd is crashing pretty hard. I'm now actually having to wait to get 12/12 people for matches in Clash and Control. There's only so much people can get their clocks cleaned with one-hit kills and give a crap about Destiny. And why aren't my melee attacks one-hit kills? It seems like every--blam!-ing-body else's are. I have to double-tap everyone.

  • I completely agree with everything you said. The base game should have included all of the story missions (it was supposed to til Activision turned Bungie into a corporate puppet). This game should have had at least 10 Strikes at launch. The fact that there's no economy makes this game too watered down to care about new gear. Why would I give a shit about new gear when I already have 7 exotic weapons and everything piece of armour you'd want in this game?

  • But you're more than willing to buy the expansions for CoD for the same price? What do those have, 3 maps and a few weapons?

  • I wasnt angry until i read this, and now i think actually yeah, this DLC is over priced, its not an expansion in the true sense. its a tit bit. yet is charging a price in line with what you would expect off an expansion.
