You've gotten me for Destiny, Dark Below, and HoW already, Bungie. If you think I'm overpaying for lackluster content again, you may want to really consider that price tag. $40 seems about right...
Edit 2/19: Since this post is seen by a lot of people as "complaining", I'll clarify the point of this post: Destiny has hardly any noteworthy competition right now for people's gaming time. It's one of the few games that offers semi-continuous refreshment. For the people on a budget (like myself - a broke college student), we can't go buy any old game that comes out. I read reviews and make my decision thereafter. The next-gen console collection sucks right now - a well-agreed-upon opinion. That being said, this will probably no longer be the case during the second half of this year as a lot of exciting titles are expected to be released. If Bungie thinks they can charge the price of a typical complete game-$60-they may be making a strategic mistake and lose out completely to the array of "complete" games that will be released. However, a $40 or less price tag may be perceived as a deal enough to entice some to renew their journey in Destiny while possibly simultaneously purchasing another title. That is all.

I thought that thing was going to be the release of all the stuff that xbox one users didn't get, good thing I'm done with HoW.

1 ReplyDear Bungie, You know, looking at old quotes, at design documentaries, at everything that existed about this game PRIOR to launch, I can not shake the feeling that I keep playing Destiny because I wish I was playing what YOU advertised and sold each and every one of us on. I bought into the Destiny "dream". A open persistent world, where everything you see is playable..........With gear, and classes and specializations. A game where "every Guardian would be unique". I bought into the "epic" and into "becoming legend". And I am not going to lie, as much as I might complain about what's wrong here, I do not hate this game. I still play this game in the hopes that you deliver on what was promised while trying to sell this game to the public. False advertisement in every way shape and form. I STILL play this game, mostly because it reminds me of the things I liked about you, and about your games. It made a great first impression. There are puddles of Tang and things are colorful, skyboxes are gorgeous, art and modelling are top notch. I can say there are few things that come close. Your world is not brown. Its not Black, or dark green. For all the gloom of the darkness, your world is gloriously colorful. Full of life and promise. -blam!-, just today, doing a mission, I wandered into an area of Venus that is not used for anything. And probably will never be. In it, there is a pillar and some very interesting architecture that, having seen the rest of the game, exists nowhere else. Just like that cave in the coast in Russia. Or all the nooks and crannies in Mars and the moon. And I keep hoping to find something, for something to happen. To find some plot, some fun, some vehicles, some interesting weapons. My whole journey through your game my breath was held for the moment I'd hit the content YOU SOLD US ON. And we soldiered on. We soldiered on until we found ourselves looking at each puzzled after the Black Garden mission. Surely something was wrong. No way the game is done. What about Rasputin? And about the hive, and the moon, and the shards? What about Venus? and about the Reef? We thought that, like in many other games, something would change in the post game and we'd find some answers, plot, a story, anything. Your game doesn't start until 20 and we were 18 or so. So we made 20. We saw your real game: Endless recycled grind. Then endless hours spinning in circles to get the materials to upgrade them. And endlessly repeating the same missions which play in much the same ways to get the shards and coins for them. Is this the real game? The game that starts at 20? Is this some sort of sick joke? Where is the mission variety? Everything playable in this game is recycled content. Lol come on, am a taking crazy pills over here? Are you all not playing the exact same missions, bounties, minuscule pool of strikes as I am. It's like Groundhog Day all over again when i log on. This is clearly not the game you advertised?? You said the game started at 20. So where is it? I could tell you of how we used to joke that the ability to talk with our team in our crucible was in DLC. I could tell you of how we stood in front of a cave reloading once in a while. I could tell you of hours spent running in circles looking for shiny green blinking lights. I could tell you of getting shards after a nightfall, and getting chatterwhite after chatterwhite. But I think you know. And I think these days, you lousy sit back and laugh, laugh, laugh.... Funny thing is, it's the truth.. Destiny is nothing but a random reinforcement schedule Skinner box where we peck for hours hoping for a reward which might, or might not ever come. And its not that you don't have it in you anymore. Jesus, the raid is great. Roles are great. Strategy is great. You did not lie when you said it would be taxing and fun, but sorry, it's not difficult. And I can't understand why the rest of the game is not like that. Why every mission consists of waiting on dinklebot to open doors. Why there is little weapon variety, and vehicles are pretty much only a memory. Why there is no story, or plot, or why you didn't even see fit to name your characters. 3 attributes? THREE?? Thats it? A insanely minuscule pool of perks that are just jumbled on armor and weapons?? Thats customization? What happened to every Guardian will be unique? Ummmmmm have you looked around the tower at any given time, i see my doppelgänger repeatedly every time i log on. Its laughable. I have a problem with you stating you'll fix the reasons we stood in front of a cave in the first place while really changing nothing much. And with you replacing strategy and tactics in the Raid with a RNG because, hell, we need more of those right? I have a problem with there being no rewards, or any sense of advancement whatsoever, or anything to see, or do, or explore. I have a problem with you treating us like idiots, calling things "bugs" when its clear they were not, calling things "new content" and "exciting events" when you are just giving us the same stuff in exactly the same way. It's the exact same content with a new shiny name attached?!?!? Recycled content, rinse and repeat. You don't need to artificially gate what little content you have. Any person with half a brain knows its all there to be played. Throw some interesting triggers in all those caves and locations where nothing happens. Give us events with rewards of meaning and variety. You want this to last ten years...... So do we, so cut the crap and release the game and content YOU SOLD US ON. Does that sound fair? I'm not even going to bring up the DLC, that is a joke in itself. Speechless when it comes to that. A long time fan,

6 RepliesI could care less what it costs, gaming is one of the cheapest entertainment options out there. The cost vs hours of entertainment, pennies on the dollar.

4 RepliesI keep thinking of Assassins Creed. Loved the story, gameplay, and evolution. If comet allows me to take my destiny one character straight into "Destiny 2", travel back and forth. Then that would be awesome. Has there been a sequel that does this? I am assuming Comet (2015) is Destiny's (2014) sequel. I'd pay $40, $60 if I deemed it worthy enough. Cheers

12 RepliesI really don't care... as long as I'm having fun money is not an object for me, you all take money so seriously...

1 ReplyComplain as much as you like about the price but the uk had to pay more for the game and the dlc
-
uhmm who cares?
-
1 ReplyIf what has been leaked about comet is accurate, it's going to be a massive expansion. Personally I would rather spend that money on another game. Destiny has so many core problem that hold it back that sinking more money into it won't make a difference.
-
I agree with you friend, I would never pay 60$ for an expansion, hell no. When BloodBorne comes out, I'll probably sell my Destiny.
-
Comet is the first real expansion IMO. I believe DB and HoW is just content that was cut so they can make some cash, I herd that they were supposed to be in the original release, however things didn't turn out that way.
-
Yeah you are. Next.
-
Given how lacking Destiny is in content right now, I think $40 is still too much for Comet.
-
I will pay 60 if it's got tons of new gameplay why not I paid 110 for 800 hous of fun and still clocking more so ya make it worth it and no prob bungi
-
1 ReplyI have not seen where Bungie said Comet would be $60. Do you have a link or something showing where Bungie has said this? I am honestly not trying to be dick here I just haven't heard this anywhere other than forum rumors.
-
[quote]Destiny has hardly any noteworthy competition right now for people's gaming time. [/quote] I couldn't agree with you more. You are 100% correct. The reason is its the best game out right now and the best that has been out in s long time.

1 ReplyDon't buy it buy I will, I enjoy the hell out of this game if it adds more content to this already brandish world I'm for it
-
What's this about an expansion called comet?
-
40 is to much, 30 dollars tops
-
Good for you
-
Oké bye.

Edited by KaramelKaiser: 2/19/2015 3:05:51 PMConsidering you payed 40 dollars for the season pass, us in the UK like myself paid 39 pounds the equivalent of 61 dollars. If they are gonna charge 60 dollars for the comet expansion that works out around 39 pounds for us in the UK but they will obviously keep the same format meaning us in the uk will have to fork out 60 pounds the equivalent of 93 dollars. Daylight robbery.

2 RepliesI am paying because I have a job and its chump change for me. If I had to work like 3 days or something ridiculous like that for $60 then maybe I would pass
-
Wait there is DLC for 60?
-
67 RepliesI wont be purchasing it not because $60 is a lot or because I feel I didn't get my money's worth. I have no illusions of "getting my money back" or "class actions lawsuits". I won't be purchasing anything after HoW because I do not want to support untested software with addictive mechanics that can be dramatically discribed as abusive. I do not want to enable a developer that openly mocks its player base.
