So after playing through Renegades, I can’t shake the feeling that what we got here is basically the size of an old season, just with a different price tag.
Think about it, short campaign, one seasonal style activity, an exotic mission, new weapons, seasonal grind structure.
All of this is about what we used to get for $10 in a season, not $40 for a full expansion. In the past, this kind of content drop would’ve slotted right in with Season of the Wish, Heresy, etc. The only major difference now is the price and the label “expansion.”
I’m not saying it’s bad content, the campaign was fun, the exotic mission is solid, and the weapons are cool. But the amount just doesn’t feel like an expansion. It feels like we bought a large season and it’s being stretched to last a year.
I want to support Bungie, I want Destiny to thrive, but value matters. If this is the future model, then expansions need more meat, or the price needs to match the content.
Would love to hear how others feel… am I alone in this?

1 ReplyThe 1 main thing I don't like about Renegades is that there is no actual patrol zones to roam around, which is something I usually enjoy doing when a new expansion comes out. I like the story, campaign missions, the new cabal faction including Dredgen Bael, social hub, the syndicates and the lawless frontier activity in Renegades but having no patrol zones sucks especially with how cool Mars looks. It seems like with each new expansion since The Final Shape we loose more and more of what we used to get. The Final Shape we lost social patrol zones(got solo ones). With Edge of Fate we can still roam around Kepler but we lost public events, patrol beacons, lost sectors and no new strike. Now with Renegades we have lost all of that including the actual destination. What will we loose in the next expansion😒.
