#Destiny
-
though I'll still buy it I'm pretty upset that dude sounded like such a condescending prick when answering questions. the content or editions isn't the full issue here it's a member of bungie acting like a pompous ass
-
2 RepliesIt's literally just three -blam!-ing Dances, just don't buy them, they are not that special.
-
If the taken king is good then I'll keep playing destiny but if not... Hello Halo 5
-
Luke smith wrote the story right... That explains it.
-
Wow what a complete dick. Not exactly the best way to sell your game there sport.
-
4 RepliesAlready bought still cant wait because 3 dances dont interest me.

There's like 4 or 5 threads about this already lol. Reposting my comment anyway. [quote]What an arrogant assclown. "You would throw money at the screen" -blam!- you. He comes off like destiny is some must have when all it is is a skinner box with a halo skin, something to do instead of watching tv. It's hilarious how he makes a big deal out of voiced cut scenes, like that's not in every single game for the last decade. And lmao at "cinematic" story telling. I'm not falling for that again. No way I'm giving this guy's company any money, especially 2/3 the cost of the original game for less than half it's already laughable content.[/quote]

3 RepliesLuke Smith's petulant arrogance will go by unnoticed. The poll results are clear of that. Marketing hype will outshine a price tag as long as they glue enough glitter to it. It also helps when most of the player base don't actually pay for the content themselves. Mommy's credit card speaks wonders for the video game market. But given how Eurogamer said the content is minimal compared to the original game, with an equal price tag and Luke responded by saying he would only reiterate there's reduced content, I have extremely low faith in the future of this company's ethics, morals, and interest in their community and games. I will play, but the Taken King is not for me. You are nothing but a wallet to them now, and they will manufacture the finest vacuum to suck it dry.

-
1 ReplyDidn't really affect me at all. I'm still buying it because I like destiny and will probably play destiny through these 10 years.
-
Not sure where I fall on that list. Frustrated yet I already preordered the sold out collectors edition...screwed with all of the choices.
-
The biggest annoyance for me is the terrible conversions between dollars and sterling. We have to pay nearly $50 more for the same stuff if we want the legendary edition. It's crazy. I've gone from wanting to spend £50 on that edition to not want to spend anything at all on the expansion. Idiotic isn't even the word. Even children know what an exchange rate is.

If you weren't gonna buy it then you wouldn't be here on bungie's forums.

3 RepliesEdited by Nighthawk_0430: 6/22/2015 10:30:39 PMOver half the responses indicate they will still buy it, with another 1/3 on the fence. This is why I laugh at this community and their 'outrage'. They will bitch and moan about everything, and at the end of the day, will still sit down, play the game, and buy new content
-
i am done with destiny , i had a fun time (3 -34 with all exotic weapons),but there are great titles coming out for the same price and i dont see the value in expending 40 bucks in it, when i can buy battlefront 45 bucks in origin
-
He made me actually want to buy it if I'm honest
-
2 RepliesI don't see why people are acting like a bunch of tards over this. The guy is making a point (in the context of his conversation with the interviewer). In this case the interviewer wants the emotes but doesn't like that fans of the game have to pay $80 for the extra content. Smith says 'if we gave you the option and you saw the emotes you'd throw money at the screen' AFTER the interviewer mentioned that he would buy them if given the option. Y'all are a bunch of butt hurt complainers.
-
Edited by Sivatrix: 6/22/2015 10:37:14 PMHe is aggravating. [quote][Laughs][/quote] Uh is something funny bitch? You're making me pay 80$ for emotes. I'll make you compensate with your life.
-
Let's be honest he acted childish and said some stuff he shouldn't have but people will calm down about thisin a few days and will still but the expansion
-
Though I find it very insulting about what he did, the taken king still looks amazing and I still want to buy it.
-
I love this game and had no problem preordering the full game & dlc season pass but I'll prolly not be droppin another $40 on it after reading that nonsense. And their aint no way I'd pay a separate fee for just a few emotes or or stupid shit like that, its why I stay away from "Freemium" phone games. Anyway by the time TTK comes out, Halo 5 will be out soon after, same with Fallout 4, and even GoW 4. Hell even Recore looks amazing, I'm definitely getting that.
-
6 RepliesI went out and preordered a third copy
-
1 ReplyFor giving a much request exclusive to the new players and excluding their legacy players I give them a -1. I mean seriously, I'm not going to pay double for the same thing I already own.
-
1 ReplyEdited by Afawafa: 6/22/2015 10:47:15 PMI'm still buying it probably. I would like a price drop, but everyone's bitching about having to buy the entire collectors edition for the -blam!-ing class item which they're never gonna wear anyway. Ffs can we focus our efforts on less stupid stuff like the pricing in other regions?
-
Edited by slarzon: 6/22/2015 11:17:27 PMI dont care about the useless vanity items its for starting players to get xp faster not the lvl 34s and why would i want more useless junk sitting on my shelf the dlc is 40$ get over it people who bought borderlands pre sequel got shafted when the handsome collection came out because they got the pre sequel dlc free its just how life works
