Divide your cost by playtime

This is for Everyone saying this game or the DLC isn't worth the money... Divide your cost by your playtime in hours and you'll get what this game cost you per hour... If you actually played all the content including completion of the raid atleast once, there's no way you can even argue it wasn't worth it.. I see people always complaining its not enough content for the cost, but if you actually played all the content there's no way you paid more then a buck per hour of fun lol.. What the hell kinda game spoiled all of you.. EDIT: some are saying that there 200+ hours of playtime don't count because they didn't have fun during it..... You guys make my brain hurt lol EDIT: So.. Apparently some may be forced to play against there will .. In this case please don't use the simple formula because it won't work for you.. PS: I'm really sorry that this is happening to you I didn't realize that there was some kind of sick slavery ring where people are forced to play games against there will..

  • I don't like to compare it this way. I'd rather compare it to other games that cost the same amount and have much more satisfying content. Did I get my money's worth? I suppose. Is it as fun and engaging as Skyrim, Mass Effect, or Diablo? Not to me.

  • Per hour is a stupid way of measuring the value of a game, and I suspect the OP knows it. I can buy a 2 hour Blu-Ray and watch it 100 times, thus giving me 200 hours of service for £15, but I'll be bored stiff because I'm doing the same thing over and over and over and... That doesn't mean I have 200 hours worth of content, it means I've forced myself to revisit the same content multiple times - you can make the argument that ANY game has a potentially limitless amount of hours you can play it for - we all know they only have X amount of hours of new experience, but we can replay the old experience at any time - this, however, does not equal new content, or make up for the lack of original longevity. If that content it poor, the quality of what you are paying for, regardless of how many times you may theoretically be able to play through it, is low and you are quite right to criticise the game for it - especially when a core component of that game is the idea of recycling game play in an endless loop

    • I remember back in the day when they had Arcades. I would spend quarter after quarter playing PAC-MAN and Centipede.

        People who say they are getting bored and tired are just mad they don't know what to do. I actually understand this game, and how to get loot. It's not to hard. This is why I can say Destiny is one of the best games I have ever played.

        • If there were other games out right now, lots of peoples total play time for destiny would be a lot less. Theres just not much else to play at the moment.

        • Doesn't matter how you work this crap out. I've played Forza Horizon 2 for about as long as Destiny. Am I bored of FH2, hell no. Am I that bored with Destiny that playing for more than an hour is tedious. hell yes!

              • I had 14+ days of playtime on COD4. I already hate this game and the fact that I bought the season pass. And before anyone says anything, I've touched more pussy than you. And no ugly bitches. G'day

                • Thank the lord there is another person who understands simple math. Amen brotha, amen. I know for a fact i'll probably squeeze at least 20 hours into the new DLC. Thats $1 per hour, assuming i only play that 20 hours. Theres no way that you cant afford that. If you're too stubborn to admit its a decent deal, then you're cheap, you're broke, or Destiny is just not for you.

                  • You're forgetting to factor in the cost of the console, internet connection, XBL subscription, electricity to power the console, the TV I'm playing on, amortized payments on the house I play the game from, the food and beer I've consumed while playing, not to mention the actual opportunity cost of the time lost playing this game only to realize that it is a steaming turd compared to the game we were promised. Using your logic, Bungie owes me about $3,237.85.

                    • Me and my husband have put 338hrs into our 3 characters. We paid $60 for the game but we used PSN cards we got at 25% off (they were on sale at Target) so it works out to .13 per hour. Crazy good value for money if you ask me!

                      • 179 hours, $99, basically $1.80 an hour. Not bad, like going to the arcade or something.

                          • I am a huge proponent of money/time to see if a game is worth it to me. But I keep it to my self mostly because it's something I use to judge if I'm having fun with a game or not. For me, I play a game until I don't enjoy it anymore and then calculate if it was worth it for me. For example, Assasins Creed. I paid full price for the first and maybe got 20 hours out of it. The only thing that changed for me moving forward is that I wait for any Assasins Creed title to drop in price before purchasing it. Anyway, it's not something I would throw at someone and yell "But you got your money's worth" because not everyone equates it as such.

                          • I paid $100 for Battlefield 4, and I've played it for over 500 hours. I paid $100 for Battlefield 3, and I've played it for over 800 hours. I paid $60 for Skyrim and I've played it for over 500 hours. I was given GTA5 for free and I've played it for over 100 hours. I was given two of the Stalker games for free, and paid $5 for the third, I've played them collectively over 300 hours. I was given Killing Floor for free, and I've paid $20 total for DLC, and I've played it for over 100 hours. I paid $15 for Don't Starve and I've played it for 40 hours. I paid $120 for StarCraft 2 and the Heart of the Swarm expansion, and I've played them for over 300 hours. I paid $100 for Diablo 3 and the Reaper of Souls expansion and I've played my Demon Hunter characters alone for over 600 hours. I paid over $500 for the entire Halo series up until Reach, which I've likely played for over 1000 hours between all of them. I paid $100 for Destiny and I've played it for over 100 hours. I enjoyed every minute of my time spent playing 10 of the above mentioned games/series. 1 of them fell short in every possible way. You don't get to tell me what my dollar is worth.

                            • I payed £45 for Destiny and I am fed up of replaying the same content and redoing the same things I did after just 10 hours of game play by my 100th, as such I am now bored with the game. I payed £30 for Dark souls 2 and I have put over 400 hours into that game, and I am STILL finding things I have not done. You tell me, which is the better value and worth more?

                              • Just because nobody had anything better to do doesn't mean the game has value. Compare it to other AAA titles. Are you honestly still having fun playing the game? If you are... why do you feel the need to refute all the "haters"?
