I just read several of the exact same posts. Legions of children screaming about the cost to play DESTINY. Here is a lesson on value to price;
Full game + all DLC + Taken King = $115 rougly. So $115 for a year and half of entertainment (until life cycle after taken king)
$115 / 18 months = $6.38 per month. Or
$6.38 / 16 days (playing every other day or so) = $0.40 per day.
Avg. Person (me included) plays 3 hours per day. $0.40 / 3 = $0.13 per hour.
THIRTEEN CENTS PER HOUR. Too much for you? Ask your grandma to teach you how to make dolls out of old socks, wait, that's not even cheaper. Get a clue. Huge value vs. Cost happening here!!
EDIT: the $115 is what I paid in bundle pack. Plug your purchase price in to get your cost per hour. Many say $140. So at $140; it is $0.16 cents per hour. SIXTEEN CENTS. Same story applies.

2 RepliesLast time I checked, people weren't making monthly payments on Destiny. And the literal cost is only part of the complaint anyway. Have you actually read anything on these forums?

1 ReplyWhile that makes sense. I am comparing the price to other games, in that sense destiny is a complete waste of my money! So many other games that have better story, better multiplayer, better customisation!

1 ReplyDunno what you're reading. But it's not mainly at all about the price lol
-
9 RepliesOh look, another argument that 40 dollars isn't a lot of money. This kid doesn't get it. He gets got.

Cheap entertainment =/= good entertainment
-
2 RepliesStill isn't value for money or time spent.

1 ReplyWell, it's not like people are playing it for a a whole year. It's just scattering a throughout the duration of a year. I still occasionally play Legend of Zelda, doesn't mean I got over a decade of entertainment from it.
-
I agree
-
For the win!!!

1 ReplyLol the butthurt is real... If you don't want the game, then don't fücking get it. It's simple. And if you're not getting it, then there's no reason for you to be posting on destiny forums anymore. Bye, guys. Have fun with whatever new game you find to play and complain about

6 RepliesBullshit. Would you sit in a theater, see the same movie three times and say you had better value because you spent 6 hours watching it?
-
2 RepliesYou need to add electricity and internet and the cost of your system and TV. I know many of these things you may already have, but they should still be factored in some way. I bought my ps4 mainly for Destiny, TV was because my old one broke.

2 RepliesGetting the collectors edition. Same as when i got the original. But you know... I have a job so its no big deal.

7 RepliesYo dumb ass u miss the fact that ur re buying the dlcs?
-
7 RepliesI hate these posts, stop comparing value to time played. It's a grindy ass game, they have sold us reskinned weapons, armor, missions in reverse twice. Maybe you think that's value for money but I certainly don't, play Witcher 3 and you'll see what value for money is.

Congratulations you have just wasted a huge effort trying to break Destiny gameplay vs price paid. Most of use don't care that a new player can get Vanilla Destiny, TDB, HoW, and TTK for $60. We do care that Bungie is charging $80 giving away exlusive stuff that they aren't giving veterans when many of us gave them more than 80$ and this is before we are going to drop another $40 for the DLC. We should at least get all the digital items that the $80 version gets or comparable versions of the exotic class items and emotes.
-
I've tried to explain this to them. It's pointless. They're dumb kids. They don't have a clue about value. They just spend money that's not theirs
-
Let's be relative. The witcher 3 cost 60 with an estimated 200 hours of play to finish all content. That's what.... $0.03/hour? And we compare that to $0.13/hour of redundant play?
-
1 ReplyI think your valuations are based on the whole game. Which can be completed in a day. Also the the game Is just a grind from then on, with crossed fingers for rng and repeats of the same old same old. For the price it lacks content not game play hours.
-
7 RepliesSo you pay $115 for everything. I paid £45 for destiny + £40 (TDB+HOW) =£95 + £40 (taken king)= £135. Some how I feel as if I'm being robbed, I'm paying full game price for 1/5 of the game, and not to mention, I'm paying nearly double than what you're in the US.

Just shut up I'm complaining more about people getting Ttk significantly cheaper then people that already have all the rest. I live in the UK and where getting -blam!-ed over in terms of price. Legendary Ttk is £54:00 and standalone Ttk is £40. In us it is $40 dollars. So not only do new players get all the the old content cheaper( not bothered about this) but they get new content a lot cheaper and in what world does $40=£40 It should have been at most £30. I'm literally just going to wait until it's on sale since that's the only way I'm getting a fair price. I can't blame bungie other then their lack of content but activision and ea are literally the worst when it comes to pricing dlc in foreign countries

5 RepliesI preordered the digital one and no I ain't gullible they're jus pretty much giving the other game and 2 dlc's for poor people thats all it is

Bee you suck and your clan sucks, just cause your super rich and own McDonald's and can buy whatever you want. I'm over here on my virgin mobile phone hotspot internet trying to play. Jk just saw your post on trending and wanted to troll.
-
6 RepliesThats not the point man. Its about how it is forcing you to re buy the base game, and 3 dlc's for something that everyone wants. Why the hell would anyone spend money on something they allready own? I think you are the one missing the picture here.

3 RepliesPlease... calling people with concerns children, kids, whiners, or other playground names does not help you sound like you come from a position of authority. People don't like being told that to get what the next guy gets you have to pay more expecially when the guy just got in line. I may get it I may not it does not seem like a must have at this point for the price. Besides Fallout four Pip Boy edition is the dumb purchase of the year I plan on making.
