Should I trade in Destiny

Yes

154

No

166

So I've been sitting on the idea for a while now as I've not really enjoyed it for a long while. I've been at the point where I'm just repeating content for gear. I've given the raid a go. Its pretty good but I haven't a consistent team nor the time to play it every week in the hope of a chance for raid gear. This leaves me with little point to level up the gear I have. This leaves me with a difficult decision. My local CEX is offering £22 cash. That means I'll have paid £13, essentially. Its a bit more than I pay for an average game; in my opinion that is what destiny is. But I did get it new and play the beta so its fair. Besides I've put a good amount of time into it. As I have Borlderlands: TPS and that has proven to hit the spot so I leave it to the community to determine whether it is worth keeping (not buying dlc so it'll be based on events) or selling. Be it trolling, serious responses or most likely elitist responses; I'll take the community's attitude as my solution. Edit 1: There seems to be a lot of logic for the yes argument, a little for the no. There are trolls but not as many as I'd anticipated. Very interesting to see how many people are at different points in their overall opinion. Edit 2: There is a certain sense of community for this "community" based game and that is why I thought I'd seek out the input of others regarding this matter. It seems this is winding down and I have my answer. I appreciate all who offered input, be it positive, negative troll or other. It's been an interesting insight to the true nature of the community here. ~E~

  • I ticked yes although I won't. The fact your asking this question implies you are not enjoying it as much as the rest of us. I can appreciate that. When I first started I saw it as a halo rip off with little content and an amateur story. However, the more I've played, learned new tricks (some from youtube), met new people (it's really not hard) and developed my characters, I've come to love the game. Yes it's a grind, yes it annoys me more often than not but they've just started! I've never played a game where the creators are continuously pushing out fixes because the gamers request it. The only thing it lacks right now is more content and you've only got to wait about 8 weeks for that. Destiny is not a game you pick up and conquer in a few hours. You've got to grind, work with new people, and hone your skill. Invest in the game and you'll see the game invest in you. Give bungie a chance though because they are listening to us. The way I see it, this game can only get better.

  • I'm probably going to put Destiny towards credit for Halo:MCC.

  • Are you in immediate need of cash? Are you living paycheck to paycheck? If not, I would say to just go ahead and hold onto it for future updates that may improve your Destiny experience. If you have the money for it, and want to, you can wait to play the first DLC and then decide what to do after.

    • I don't care and I would normally say no one else does either but apparently by the comments some people do care if a complete stranger decides to sell a video game he doesnt enjoy playing.

        • Personally I wouldn't. Play any mmo when it first starts and there's problems, and I think people are demanding too much from a game that's been out for two months, don't trade it in, just sit it with the rest of your games and come back to it later when there's an event or more content you want to play

          • Well I must admit I did get a refund on my digital copy only to miss the game yes I did say that. Trade value was next to nothing when I looked. I picked up a physical copy for £28 pounds. If you feel the way you do then yes trade it in. But I am willing to ride it out and see how things go after all the game should and will evolve over time if it doesn't then meh I will not buy another bungie game. All games have problems one way or another that's to be expected. I remember many games having problems online or offline. It's just the way things go imo. The beauty of games now is we have the power of forums to get things fixed. This is a good thing despite all the bitching and crying that goes on. You ultimately have the last say . My opinion is keep it give it a few more months see if they improve things. If not meh balls to bungie. And that's coming from a long time bungie follower

            • If you want my opinion. I would wait until the 2 DLC come out and then trade it, you did buy the Expansion Pass so you may as well get your money's worth. And another point, you have 4+ days invested into Destiny. For a game that cost approximately 100 bucks that's almost one dollar per hour. Look at computer games like a cinema, would you pay 100 bucks to see a movie go for 100 hours? Just my 2 bucks.

              • Get that $22 while you can! Destiny is a complete rip off! Get what of your money back while you still can! "All of that area is playable space. We could go there right now if we had the time." "I could tell you... BUT I WON'T!!" "I don't even have time to explain why I don't have time to explain."

                  • Yes, the trade should involve consumable and upgrade material, or at least uncommon/rare and below gears.

                      dam this is close And thats a real shame tbh Going onto a game's official forum and posting a thread like this should get swarmed with NO's considering everyone here plays this game The fact that the vote is so close speaks poorly about the game itself. Shame on Bungie

                        • Well, you've played through pretty much all the content and their isn't any trustworthy assurance that the dlc will be good or actually make up for the lack of content in the game. Trade it in now while you still can and cut your losses. You can hold over the cash for when DLC comes out for TPS since it's actually complete anyway.

                          • I personally would have traded in my copy by now, but I was stupid enough to buy the digital guardian edition. Instead, I find myself mindlessly playing when bored (not that it really does anything in that regard), waiting for something new to come out. I'm never trusting overly inflated video game hype again, and this is the last time I buy a freakn DLC season pass. Although, who knows? Maybe the DLC will actually have interesting and engaging content. Lolololol.... <_<;;

                          • If you're considering it enough to do a poll on these forums then yes trade it in. You won't be missed BYE

                              I never trade in games, unless you get a full refund or something of similar price, other wise it's a lose/lose situation. Lets say you trade it in, and Bungie releases some good content and the DLC turns out to be decent, then you have to waste more money buying it again. On the flip side, lets say you trade it in and never plan to come back. Sure you get some money back but it's still a loss.
