Destiny's The Taken King Patch Is Around 20GB, and It's Mandatory

Hopefully it's worth the space!

This is ridiculous. The PS4 already doesn't have enough space as it is. Games just keep getting bigger and bigger with all of these patches.

Yay very much looking forward to the changes whoop!

Don't care. I'm hyped for this. Got back into Destiny recently in a big way so I'll just get rid of some plus games I don't bother with to make space.

It just goes to show how much new content is being added, I am looking forwards to The Taken King myself.

GRIMOIRE GRIMOIRE GRIMOIRE GRIMOIRE!!!

Had this for months , finally started it last night. Good fun so far. Struggling for HDD space though. Warframes going to have to bite the bullet , never did get a chance to give it a whirl.

@Jaz007 No kidding. I get the feeling they didn't prepare for how big these games would be, otherwise we'd have bigger hard drives.

Hmmm should I delete destiny off my drive until Xmas??? Hmmmmm.

lol, I never imagined Bungie to ever be as bad as DICE!

If I haven't gotten any of the dlc yet would it be best just to get TTK now? I need to delete stuff off my hard drive. With metal gear and if I get TTK that's a lot of space I need back.

Thats a shocker of a patch size!
Im genuinely surprised they arent charging for it.

This is getting to be as out of hand as world of war craft used to be. I remember upgrading my MacBook and seeing that wow was taking up something like 70 or 8gb of space on my old machine. Needless to say I deleted it since I hadn't played in a while an wasn't going back, but the point here is that game patches are getting to the point that they are larger in many case than the original game was.

I can't say I agree with a lot of the 'changes' although I do agree with some. As someone that has played since launch, I am disappointed that certain weapons are getting nerfed and/or will become 'fixed' as a year 1 weapon only to be surpassed by higher damage weapons in year 2. In essence this wouldn't bee an issue IF year 2 weapons had similar perks or feel.
Take Fatebringer as an example, its still one of, if not the best handcannon because of the arc damage and combination of perks, Bungie could easily mak something similar but the handcannons since haven' so far. Icebreaker and Gjallahorn are other examples. All these are getting 'nerfed' in 2.0 but lets be honest, none are that OP in PvE or PvP, Granted they are 'strong' but considering the enemy health compared to yours its not surprising people use them. Dragons Breath (for example) is worse than a lot of 'Legendary' launchers and look at the Dark Below exotics in general - pathetic! In terms of Armour, I still prefer most of the first set of exotics. Only Obsidian Mind (Warlock Helm) gets used over most of the original set.
From my point of view, I would rather Bungie introduced new weapons/armour that could replace or at least give you a tough decision as to which to equip rather than force you to abandon 'favourites'. I would rather they buffed the weaker guns than keep nerfing everything too so that people then have a decision or playstyle preference. They severely nerfed auto-rifles and slightly buffed Pulse rifles so players who preferred the AR's were forced to use Pulse just to compete. In my opinion all weapons should be viable so it comes down to situation/preference/play style! Exotics should be more powerful and special compared to legendary! I still find it funny that Legendary weapons are more powerful compared to Rare but exactly the same as Exotics - therefore the Legendaries can be better than Exotics! Its not like you can equip more than 1 Exotic anyway. I rarely equip an exotic Primary as my Legendary Raid primaries are better and have elemental damage too.
Nerfing Icebreaker (increasing the time taken to regenerate a shot) is ridiculous. It already has one of the lowest 'shots per minute' for Snipers and its 'kick' is very high too - one of the reasons its rarely (if ever) used in PvP. Gjallahorn maybe great at bosses but its not as good as Truth in PvP and not that great against groups of enemies either - Hunger of Crota is better as Gjallahorns Wolfpack rounds target the enemy you killed and therefore don't kill as many as HoC would in that situation.
Like I said in general I think its disappointing that many weapons will become nerfed and/or obsolete. I think Bungie should 'buff' the weaker weapons, enable year 1 items to carry over to year 2 and be competitive, but year 2 items should make you consider them.

We know if its a midnight launch or reset launch yet?

ew

Don't worry alot of that is just the installer and it self deletes it from the system . You will notice when it does the patching that is a a fraction of that.
