The Taken King Is Looking More and More Like What Destiny Should Have Always Been

I'm not sure about returning to Destiny, @ShogunRok. All of those additions and changes they're making look great, but I still think it's cheap that if I end up getting this, I might as well buy Destiny all over again (The Taken King physical copy) since I'll get the other two pieces of DLC for only $20 more. Like you said, the price is a major turn-off (it's only $20 less than a full-fledged retail game!), so I'll wait and see how all this turns out before making my decision on returning to Destiny.

Undecided as to whether to go back. I still haven't played house of wolves DLC yet (bought the doubles-pack but stopped playing before second piece came out). Had some great multiplayer sessions on destiny and been flying solo with witcher 3 lately so I may be tempted for the social aspect...

Well this is great from my point of view since i didn't own destiny befor, so soon I'll be getting the legendary edition that includes all the expansions and the game for only 60$
But it kinda sucks for players who bought destiny in earlyer stages... greedy Activision.

I'll wait and see how it turns out before I pick Destiny up again. I got rid of my copy months ago, but I miss the Crucible aspect, and playing with friends occasionally. I might as well just get the physical release with all the content packed in together if I get it again.

I have Destiny on my HD so I can't sell it, I might pick this up at launch now Seige has been put back but I was gunna wait until it was £20, at £40 it's just £15 less than a full game a total rip off typical Activision and most company's they have us gamer's by the short and curly's and they know it.

I still play a fair bit, and considering how many hours I've put in already, if this has half as much content as vanilla destiny it's still not that bad.
Obviously the likes of The Witcher have treated us better, but it looks like I'll be stumping up the cash for taken king anyway.

In all the way(even tho its expensive, but ill buy digital so i can share it with my kids) always been a defender of destiny, i still dont get why it attracts all the pointless hatred...RS siege delay is interesting,i wonder if its been getting negative feedback from the pc testers, hard to really get a feel for a game from watching vids of a test version but i personally think siege looks a little bit dull

Thanks for beta testing everyone, I admire the dedication. I'll take it from here!

I find it hard to hate on the price tag. 40 bucks is the cost of fast food night for the family and needs to pay for a large development team for the better part of a year. They deserve to eat and live too.

@kyleforrester87 D3 was amazing on consoles though! That game felt like it was always meant to be a ps4 game, and the PC version in retrospect seems awkward, IMO

The Taken King has more guns/armour then the base game itself, it has a lot of content in it. The Kings Fall (New Raid) has it's own bounties & other things, to say it's big is a understatement. I'm looking forwards to it, all I'll be playing for the next few months is this & MGSV.

Even with the mentioned problems of the base game, and the PR screw up's that happened after this was announced, you get a ton of content no matter if your new or old, which more then justifies the price for me.

Destiny is great, I may pick this up way down the line now that metal gear and fallout are within sight.

Definitely will pick it up, but MGSV will be taking priority first. Thats probably all the games Il need for the rest of 2015 then.

Honestly, I think if I get The Taken King, it'll be after a physical price drop. Another $40 for it after all the money I've put into Destiny already is something I just can't do. It's such a rip off for people have bought the previous DLC.

I just started playing Destiny a couple days ago cause ebgames canada had it on sale for $10 new, and I've been absolutely loving the game, so I really don't understand the hated this game gets from ppl. The new expansion looks really good, so I will probably get it eventually, but for now I'm just having fun with the beginning of the game

@hYdeks What @kyleforrester87 says is true in my opinion. It's great as you're levelling up, finding good gear on a consistent basis, and blasting through the main missions, but the grind soon kicks in - that's when people tend to get sick of the game.

But yeah, it's already a lot better than it used to be in terms of actual grinding, and with TTK, it promises to get even better.

I suggest waiting a year. Who knows, maybe Bungie will release another Legendary Edition that has 2-3 expansions for only $60.

That Vanguard Exo's voiced by Nathan Fillion, right?

@banacheck But how many of those weapons are actually good or are they there just there to make up the numbers?

I remembered Bungie saying Crota's End would be a lot more difficult then Vault of Glass before it was released and we all know that wasn't the case.

It's still not enough content for those prices. 'Nuff said.

I'm skeptical but still curious to see what they've changed or added. The idea of having sub classes and altering the way you level up sounds interesting.

I'll make sure to check out that twitch coverage later today.

@DrJoeystein not in the UK, it is £40, which equates to over $60, just for TTK. I wish the internet would pick up on this more when they're considering it to be expensive at just $40

I quit playing Destiny a while ago, and I won't be picking this up. Vanilla Destiny was an unfinished game, and I don't like corporations selling me half games for full price. There are plenty of games to keep me busy for the rest of the year and into 2016.

Not to mention the price is ludicrous.

@Illusionistt yeah this will be an awsome game for new people to get into , price wise and content wise (base content is also gonna be changed). Bitter sweet to us that held on to a glimmer of hope (haha pun) that destiny would turn into this .
but I'm still excited for it.

@WanderingBullet logical decision but the only downside is you will be far behind on content if you wait that long . Such as far less players to do lower lvl content with that's the bad part about games like that.. But then again you will have more cash on hand to lol

@BladeRider Yeah, but didn't they Bungie say that Year 1 weapons/armor would be obsolete when TTK comes out? So technically, a person wouldn't need to grind for lower level stuff if Bungie decides to do the same again for future expansions.

Also, I laughed when they said they don't want Destiny to be one weapon game when they nerfed the Ghally 11 months after the game was released.

Anyways, I like some of the improvements they've made for TTK but some of those like vault space increase couldn't been implemented via patches during year 1. It just seems like they were holding out or just only adding these features on now to justify the $40 price tag.

@WanderingBullet I actually meant grinding your lvl not the weapons and then on top of that nobody will b doing things like vault of glass n crota, BUT as it is I have to retract that statement as they have a new consumable that jumps you up to lvl 25 lol. But yeah taken king seems to be what destiny should have been. Plus swords are now a heavy weapon lmao

Edit :After rereading you comment I think I understand what you meant but there is no longer a light on armour that will raise your lvl , it is purely a lvl grinding process now . .Well minus that consumable lol

Yeah, the new consumable that jumps you up to lvl 25 lets you immediately gain access to most current content. You can then later go back to playing/grinding for old content whether if you're a collector or if there's a gear/weapon worth getting I guess.
