Regardless of the bickering that's going around. I love this game and I'm going for the lowest price in my range. It's going to be the $40 Digital Taken King as I see it as a great value. I own the [b]Original Digital Guardian Edition for $89.98[/b] (ie so I'm happy and have found contentment) and now I'm getting $39.99 Taken King with my VIP Rewards (which are way cooler and more affordable tbh) and maybe some other stuff (ie. that so quote: "And we’ll have more fun stuff for you to announce in the very short term future, just for you."). But overall it's not nessisary as I'm having a blast with this game. https://www.destinythegame.com/taken-king/wheretobuy?bundle=digital
Another Pick of VIP stuff: https://www.bungie.net/pubassets/40365/header_blog_1.jpg
As far as I'm concerned I'm happy with what I've got thus far. I got the Original Digital Guardian Edition (as already mentioned) that gave me:
- Red and White exclusive Legendary Ghost Shell (which is my most prized item in the collection)
- Legendary Player Ship (which is kind of bland looking)
- Legendary Player Emblem (not that spectacular but nice none the less)
-ie. Nobody else can get the above items unless you bought this Digital Guardian Edition version might I add,
- Legendary EV-30 Tumbler Sparrow (for getting the Expansion pass that came with the Digital Guardian Edition before the first expansion came out)
- Expansion pass (which came with the Guardian Edition).
Newcomers and partial buyers (buyers that got only one expansion) will buy that $60 Legendary Edition. Hardcore Vets/Newcomers will get that Digital Collectors Edition and get those emotes, emblem and shader junk. The reasoning I see behind it is that Vets want it just because the you want everything everything and those new comers will get some nic-nacks.
[i]In reality those collectible items that nobody else has will have the feeling of "I got cool awesome stuff!" Then it will be put in the vault and the feeling will subside once you play that NEW RAID/ End Game material that gives you way better items then the collectors Edition stuff. Because yes having those collectibles is nice, but once you have them you're going to move on to the next best thing which is the RAID gear. [/i]
So therefore, I'm going to sit back and relax with my $40 Digital Download and reap my VIP rewards with a Satisfied feeling and wait patiently for the "more fun stuff for you to announce" that Bungie has in store for for vets. Stop stressing yourselves on how much money you should blow away when it's obvious that you should buy the cheapest thing you can get with the most value. Long term vets should highly consider the $40 editions. Make your decision just move on and game on already ;D
PS: That $20 Digital Upgrade to the Collector's Edition sounds silly and I'm not buying for two reasons:
- First,It's two expensive, $20 more for those few little items? Sillyness
- Second the information about getting it requires you to buy at least the $40 version =\ Which make the whole Expansion cost $60? Sillyness: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/133368798/0/0/1

Ethical note:
Stop raging; Act your age and make a decision. Ranting and raging with verbal abuse and threats is not going to help anyone. Feedback entails that you share your constructive criticism in effect providing a solution to said problem. Not emotionally filled rage that gives no one any solution. We live in a day an age were riots happen almost on a daily bases all over the world inherently acting more like apes then men. Do you really want to be known as the generation of change, or the generation of verbal violence?

I am not preordering. I am waiting for actual gameplay, not cinematic trailers. Preordered the base game and bought the season pass day 2. I don't care about cost or "benefits". I want actual gameplay. I want to be able to judge gameplay for myself not Bungie ' s hype. Is there that option?
-
1 RespuestaNeed to put an "I might buy" option in here.
-
I'd buy it but I'm low on money right now and there's so many more options
-
It's not that I don't want to play, I just have many better things to spend $40 on

1 RespuestaEditado por ZHX1138: 6/29/2015 6:00:55 AMThus far 260 say they are buying something regarding this nice new expansion XD Continue gaming and have fun! 214 claim they are moving on. You made your choice to move on so start moving.You didn't pay your rent so you have to move I guess.. XD

I'm buying lap dances.

1 RespuestaPersonaly, I'm not gonna buy ttk. Destiny was fun while it lasted, but it's time to try other games. Ttk looks like more of the same so it made the decision easy. Maybe Destiny 2 will bring me back, if they really improve on the formula.

1 Respuestabump, please follow my ideas here https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/133377251/0/0

2 RespuestasWill buy TTK vanilla but will hold off and see how useful people find the $20 pack before making a choice on that. Ultimately I've spent ca 300 hours (a lot for me) on something that cost me £70.. Despite my love/hate relationship with the game I've still had more than my money's worth.

1 RespuestaDepends on what bungie does between now and September! I'm not paying to play a game that's broken, already did that once, but to ask for more money so they can nerf more weapons and force us into selecting a small arsenal through lack of vault space and not give us matchmaking..... No thanks! Don't think I would play if it was free, infers those circumstances, let alone she'll out money for it. Bungie...... You call half of the weapons broken, no vault space, and no matchmaking on top of servers constantly glitching and booting people, especially in PoE with no checkpoints! You call that value! Luke smith said that bungie is comfortable with the prices based on its content and value..... Get a clue bungie! People are getting sick and tired of playing a flawed an broken game. I'll throw money at the screen for witcher 3, batman, ESO, rainbow 6, and CoD! But not destiny.... Too broken and not worth the money!

1 RespuestaEditado por KINGOFTHEJUICE-: 6/26/2015 9:44:36 PMI love this game even with it's disappointments and shortcomings but the 40 price, 20 for the dance emotes, just outright greed right when we can easily buy an entire new game like mgsv or fallout 4... I don't know man, guess I'm still waiting to see if they will come to their senses. Feels so much like Microsoft's xbone unveil when so many responded to Microsoft "-blam!- me?!? No, -blam!- you" and bought ps4.

Fool me once shame on you... Fool me twice shame on me... And so it goes...

3 RespuestasIts makes me so happy the majority said there done with this game. We need to stop feeding these hungry pigs.

2 RespuestasIf I saw your emblem and ship in game that came from the collectors edition I wouldn't be able to tell it apart from all of the other emblems and ships. It's totally pointless. It wouldn't make you special because nobody sees you as special. Your not special. And "collectors items" are bull. You can't pass that shiz down to your kids. It all exists in never never land. It has no value. At least you can sell a halo graphic charizard pokemon card for some money. That's a real collectors item.

Buying 80 worth of liquor instead

2 RespuestasYup read a little more and you're a bitch. Here's a life lesson which I should post. Your opinion means -blam!-. I don't care just like no one cares what my opinion is Everyone being a little bitch in life gets you no where. Buy or don't no one gives a -blam!-!!!

7 RespuestasDestiny was 60 dollars new, TTK is priced at 40. To me this implies that Bungie thinks it has 2/3s the value of the original game. Therefore I would like 2/3s the content, and then maybe I would consider it. I need: 13-16 story missions 4 new strikes 1 raid 3 new subclasses 1 for each 2-3 new crucible match types And a host of new weapons and gear. As a side note: I would also like to see private matches added And clan management and chat moved into the game itself. If clash of clans can do it on a mobile app, Bungie ought to be able to figure it out. They could give out biweekly clan rewards for certain achievements and participation. That way our clans would feel more like real teams instead of loose groups of players.

2 RespuestasI quit reading when you said butt load of money. I put more diesel in my big truck in a day then you've spent in a year on games. Stop being a little bitch. These people went to school got training or just have the natural talent to make your bullshit. You ungrateful piece of shit You think everyone just works for free and you deserve everything You and everyone that bitches that they don't have even $100 then you are a waste of space If you can't even save 20 a month till the shit comes out then maybe you should rethink your life choices

3 RespuestasI'm getting the physical $80 collectors. Why? > more bang for your buck. > I collect items from games I enjoy playing > seems like the best overall deal > currently I can trade in Destiny to gamestop for $20, so it technically costs the base $60, with added free stuff.

1 RespuestaEditado por footlesscoot002: 6/27/2015 4:27:47 AMIf TTK comes with at least, - 20 - 30 new story missions - 10 new strikes - 10 PvP maps - 2 raids - 3 new planets - 15 new bounties - A shit load of new gear, perks, and weapons - 4 new types of enimes ( changing the color of the enimes we have already don't count ) - New elements Then I will buy th dlc but until then, I'm gonna focus on the new games that are out and the ones that are coming out.
-
5 Respuestas173 plan on buying the game. 146 are not. Seems like you all are reading into the details more on how the purchases work and what you potentially get and finally making a decision. Keep up the good work and keep on voting and liking.

21 RespuestasI like the game mechanics but im not paying 40 bucks for a dlc .. Knowing that backward missions wont go away

1 RespuestaIf they make the $20 upgrade part of the $40 digital version I'd buy it. But that's unlikely so I won't be getting it unless I get score a free code from a friend who works at a game store who occasionally steals codes lol
