[b]EDIT[/b]: here's a nice video to summarize Bungie and their supporters:
http://youtu.be/OfxDX1b5twM
Now give us $20 for the same things in the collectors edition! How's that for EVEN BETTER REWARD? Lol Bungie has truly shown their colors. Deej made a bs reply the other day to attempt to cool everyone down about the Euro interview with Luke Smith and this is all they could deliver.
Oh, wait, but we get an all black shader and sparrow too? Lawl, that's going to be really cool when every single scrub in the game is using it. Gg if you worked for your revenant shader, because now it's worthless.
The $20 is expected, which is a let down to say the least. The bigger let down is that Deej straight up lied about "AN EVEN BETTER REWARD" to get people off their backs while they had to come up with the solution EVERYONE ELSE had all ready thought of. GG Bungie.
OH, and not even a mention about the fact that TTK costs more overseas for a digital good. Guess that "it's foreign to me" comment that Luke Smith made is truly Bungie's outlook on everyone outside of the United States.
EDIT: If Bungie values a few emotes and meaningless items at $20 then what does that tell you they value TTK at $40? $60 vanilla destiny was lacking content from the start and that was $60. I'm baffled that people think a $40 expansion is going to be substantial in any way.
Also, I realize he said there is more to come today, again, which I can only assume will be as lackluster as every other announcement made, but we will see. More than likely it will just be confirming the same shit they already had 3 or 4 times now. Which is just throwing the 'VIP rewards" and telling people that they're special to make them feel good. "Wow, Deej says I'm a special guardian and that I must fight back the darkness, KEWL IM IN!" Lawl. Sheep will be sheep.
The best part about this community is that they are so invested in Destiny that it keeps them from ruining game communities that are actually worth a damn. From the level of toxicity I'd assume 90% of the player base is made up of CoD and Halo kids, both of which will be leaving once BO3 and Halo 5 come out.
Remember when people were let down with vanilla Destiny so Bungie promised to fix it with The Dark Below? Then they didn't. Then they said they would fix all that with The House of Wolves. Then, they didn't. Now they are claiming that The Taken King will fix those problems...and somehow people believe them. You are blind fanboi's who are too overcome with your love for the Bungie that made the Halo franchise to see that they are no longer the company they once were. They have become a part of the Activision/EA/Ubisoft that choose to hype their games to no end to get a high amount of pre-orders so that they have guaranteed money before reviews come out showing the games as lack-luster, often times buggy, messes. Enjoy wasting your money time and time again. It will be fun to check in year 8(if it makes it that far) when they are charging everyone $40 for ghost shells and maybe year 9 another $40 for some weapon shaders.
[b]NEW UPDATE PART 2 IS UP:[/b]and just like I said, it tries to sweep the whole issue under the rug by not mentioning it other then "we will later" fuking lawl, take that fanboiz.
Even business insider agrees that Bungie is screwing up:

[b]** Honestly tired of answering the same points over and over again.
Yes, not buying it is a solution. One of which I will be doing.
Yes, other games charge for extra content. Big difference being most of those games weren't slammed for the initial lack of content.
Charging for content in a game whose biggest flaw was its insane lack of content is like a slap in the face. GG, people, gg.** [/b]
[spoiler]here come the fanboiz talking about how much money they make and that everyone is entitled[/spoiler]

2 RepliesYou can't really fully react until Deej posts the 2nd part of the weekly update later today. If that sucks and nothing more is offered then be my guest and complain. Let's get the full story first though.

Watch the shader for beating oryx is gonna be superblack anyway and our "even better" reward will b really pointless.

27 RepliesFact: Video games have not increased in price over 20 years. Fact: The cost of living has steadily increased over that time. Fact: Development time for video games has grown in some cases up to four years. Atari games could be made in two months. Fact: development costs for video games has skyrocketed. Fact The video game industry continues to get more competitive. Fact: Video game companies need to start charging more for video games. Fact: Micro transactions are one of he ways developers can recover the costs of video game development. Fact: Micro transactions are not new. I could go on for hours if you like! Here's the last one for now. OPINION AND NOT FACT!!!!! Everything you say.

I think of it this way. It's a business. The goal is to make money. Make one game chop it up three times to sell separately is a good way to make money. Personally I like this game. I enjoy the PVP and the raids etc. For me the worst part of games is the grind to level up. For example I'm currently enjoying ESO. However to level I have to do quests that I skip through the story instantly anyway. Talk to this guy go here kill that repeat. So my point is I don't personally care if destiny has a weak story (props to the the community for their research and hard work and dedication to make up for great void) but I can still see that they dropped the ball in that department. I get to play 3 different characters at an endgame level whenever I want. In eso it will probably take 200 hours to make a single character playable in endgame content. Different game i understand but it sucks if i want to make another character race and/or class the amount of work it will take to catch up. Just my opinion.

Buy it or don't. If the reviews are good from a few trusted sources, I'll buy it.

1 ReplyNot gonna lie I actually like this game and I really like the background story of all the events in the grimore cards. I don't play this game because I think it's at least better than everything else that's out, or because budgie created halo which got me into gaming and they also created this, I play destiny because I actually like this game and If I didn't like it then I wouldn't play it but I do like it and that's my decision you can have your own as well.

6 RepliesHave you ever looked in the mirror and wondered why you are always crying like a little [i]fu[/i]cking baby about a video game? No, I'm not joking. When you're an adult someday, with a family, maybe, and kids at home growing up... Do you think you'll be proud of those days when you used to go on a video game forum and just bared your soul like a preteen girl scribbling furiously and crying in her little pink diary? You ought to be so terribly ashamed. Pull yourself together, for Christ sake!

That video is awesome and spot on

It's dumb really. They haven't shown that they're worth investing in, and it's sad because I really want to see where Destiny goes.

That video was the funniest shit ever. And was accurate as all hell man. Like inbound.

There's an All Blacks shader?! The New Zealand Rugby Board are going to have the screaming shits with that! Is one of the emotes the Haka? All Blacks 2015 RWC!

20 Replies-Cosmetic helms in WoW costs $15 each. -Mounts cost $25 -Their expacs which come out every two years cost $60. This will be the equivalent of Destiny 2 next year. -They charge a sub fee of $15/month. -They release content patches with a few quests and a raid equivalent of Destiny's $20 DLC every 4-5 months. Due to sub cost that is $60-$75 for the equivalent of TDB. -WoW has over 10,000,000(10 million) subs. [spoiler]Destiny is cheap.[/spoiler]

Good get OP, that video is epic. That said, I'm planning to buy TTK but will skip the $20 cosmetic crap.
-
7 Repliesyou'll still buy it lol

3 Replieswhen you see it broken down like this, and what everyone just got for for 20$. There really is no justifiable excuse for pricing those 9 items at 20$ as well.

I'm buying. Looks like fun. Not sure about the extra stuff though.

8 RepliesI like your style OP. Hard to argue with your points. This dlc was supposed to be so big it couldn't be called DLC. I won't be fooled again. Ain't listening to some bullshit Bungie viddoc that takes me around the amazing "large" playable area 1/3 the size of the moon. Just don't believe anymore. I honestly believe they are cutting content right now. Does anyone even think we'll be getting that HOW raid now for free? I've let go of positive expectations and am looking forward to playing some other titles this fall. While I can honestly say "I got my money's worth" from the original $90 - based on hours spent - those hours are over-inflated with leveling mechanics that would make a Korean grind fest CRY. Therefore, it's my opinion that hours played is not the best judge of getting my money's worth. I'd rather use my heart. I had a good time with Destiny like I did with my first fiancée- but she wasn't the one and I moved on. As for all the people who think Puke Smith's juvenile and arrogant comments weren't his real attitude and that his attitude doesn't effect everyone who works with him, under him and around him - are simply too clueless to see the bigger picture. It would seem to me that Bungie is out of touch and any company that takes its customers for granted to that degree won't have them for long. Please see Microsoft kinect and Xbox one backlash.
