The game has grown on me from going from really enjoyable mechanics to being a hell of a fun game overall, but I'm not going to blindly excuse the on-disc content. It is and always has been a fairly shitty practice.

As for the strikes/missions/Raids on existing planets, that was already a given between the information given about the first DLC/Expansion and people glitching into areas. With it being as close to release of the vanilla game, expecting a new planet was a tremendous reach and, sorry, is on those who believed rather than on Bungie.

Also, people can knock it off with the attitude of Destiny is some untouchable, holy artifact. I don't care if you're friends with people involved in the development or it's your latest obsession; nothing is immune to discussion or criticism.

Who's doing that here?

 

[Wind's Howling]

If some people would have just read the entire thread for two pages before posting this would have been such a clean one.

Right now people are saying the exact same thing dozens of others have, and they have also been corrected for being false with their statements.

While the PVP is adequate it's significantly worse than Halo by far.

Destiny isnt halo. Expecting halo multiplayer on a new IP at release is setting the bar ludicrously high. I have more fun playing destiny pvp than halo pvp despite halo pvp being better.

 

[Leyasu]

I wasn't planning on buying it. And once halo is downloaded to my hdd, i'll never touch destiny or another peer to peer multiplayer game again.

It's not the content or lack thereof that kills this game for me. It is the bad loot and the screw you legendary mess, and the utter fucking shit peer to peer multiplayer.

Really, the shit flavoured topping of this nasty little cake is how they have handled the mutiplayer. All that money invested, and couldn't even be bothered to provided dedicated servers! I wonder what the next cods on-line set-up will be?

They showed footage of The Reef area back in early 2013

 

[ROUGE_BLOCK]

Dat pay wall...

and subsequently my disappointment of the lack of content these DLCs will add. Not to mention they are already on the disc.

The future is now bleak

Spoiler

well for the Destiny sequels

 

[Kade]

So anything under 80 in metascore is basically crap?

Hey man, I don't make the rules!

 

[lord pie]

I wonder which writer(s) at Bungie did a hack-job on this (at least) serviceable story.

While watching the credits I was surprised to see around 10 people had writing credited. Really did feel like a too many cooks/focus tested panic change.

What really bugs me is mercury. Clearly they had the planet planned out, the planet was arted for when you flew there, but the (single) map just feels lazy. Rehash of Venus vex geometry (which I really don't like to begin with - just weird abstract cubes, no sense of thought or design). And to top it off it looks incomplete too (parts seem to be badly textured, etc).

I was (I think rightly) expecting the first DLC to be set there, actually fleshed out. But if it's just some additional paths through existing content then I'll be severely disappointed. I already regret buying the digital guardian version as it is, I am hoping to get some satisfaction :-/

 

[AHA-Lambda]

The first DLC will include 4-5 missions, 2 strikes(one on earth, one on Mars), 1 raid(on Moon) and 3 crucible maps.

And that is somehow worth $20?!

 

[Fantasy Final]

It just proves that the content was already planned (which we knew already) and they knew where to place this content in the world.

Also those icons could have been added with the latest patch.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

40 hours?

It took me around 8 hours to beat the campaign.

FTFY

It's okay to enjoy fast food I suppose. Just don't expect everyone else to enjoy it.

well can't wait to see what they have been working on since 2013 next year.

 

[Tengrave]

Watch the weekly update not address this at all. Ok, now I am starting to regret my Ghost Edtion.

 

[The Librarian]

And that is somehow worth $20?!

Well, considering Halo's past of getting three maps for ten dollars, that's a steal.

Bungie has been doing this for a while now.
PvP is the last thing I thought they would fuck up.

 

[ArkkAngel007]

Who's doing that here?

The usual people complaining about there being another 'hate' thread.

Haha, what? Who are you talking to?

 

[gatti-man]

Doesn't seem like the dlc is going to turn things around for my feelings on Destiny. Just seems more of the same. I sure hope they can learn some lessons and make a better product for the sequel. My copy will be going towards Forza Horizon 2 on Tuesday. GameStop is still giving $40 for it.

Hell yeah i cant wait for more of the same tight gunplay and pvp maps.

 

[BigDug13]

For a regular ass developer without pedigree, no, under 80 isn't necessarily crap. For Bungie who basically defined Xbox as a shooter console who has multiple 90's scored games, it's kinda crap. Especially after 5 years of work.

No one's forcing you to eat fast food.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

lol, maybe you should read up on eulas

Hyperbole taking hold haha

 

[UnluckyKate]

I preferred the timeline that's in some of the grimoire stuff which points at Rasputin, the war AI going rampant and deciding the only way to save mankind was to wipe it out and triggering the collapse of the golden age.

Exploring that and how it ties in to where the world is when you get brought into it could have been awesome.

wow, that would have been BALLER yeah !

You should take your own advice. In this thread you casually insult people who like destiny "people spend time on bad games" "people like fast food" get off your high horse. Sorry destiny isnt halo. Its not going to be maybe you should get over it.

 

[Marcel]

Your statement is not relevant as I enjoy the gunplay in PvE. PvP is where it becomes more problematic.

You being defensive and doing mental gymnastics about Destiny is not my problem. Like what you like but to act offended in the face of civil criticism is silly.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

How can Bungie be happy with Activision I don't know

I think this is the other way around actually. Hate on ATVI all you want but most of Destiny's problems have been all done to Bungie.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Is it because you get killed a lot in PVP?

The only false statement is your tag.

 

[PrivateWHudson]

Where's that guy that posted a video of him Blade Dancing through the energy door on Venus? I stopped watching so I wouldn't be spoiled, but now I'm more curious as to how "finished" the area is.

So you have more fun playing worse games.

lol. Im not being defensive. Im not insulting anyone. You are projecting quite a bit here.

 

[B.O.O.M]

Isn't that the protagonist of HunterXHunter?

Indeed. And also the antagonist. His power is called Bungee Gum lol I was going all meta with that joke

 

[Marcel]

Oh, right, that must be it. I'm not "elite" enough. Laughable. So I'm guessing you play all games flawlessly.

 

[ROUGE_BLOCK]

Whatever reason I was reading from that videos comment sections, these DLCs supposedly come with new planets. However that is based on the assumption of seeing Jupiter and Saturn in the Star Chart that came with the Limited and Ghost Editions.

Here's the reference; http://www.destinythegame.com/content/dam/atvi/bungie/dtg/editions/items/starchart.jpg

Personally I do see them adding entire new planets, just watch was spelt out from this leak.

 

[jblank83]

I bet they're about $500 million happy.

 

[NullPointer]

see if those additional 10 missions 4 strikes and 2 raids would have been available at launch that would have been great

Yep, and it makes me wonder if - all DLC included - the story ends up feeling more coherent.

 

[The Librarian]

What do you mean?

This doesn't make too much sense. Halo 3 is my favorite game ever, so every other game to me is "worse." I guess, in that way, I do have fun playing worse games.

 

[Canucked]

While I am excited for the expansions, I have to admit, I will be disappointed if they're just expanding the current areas and not adding new ones. I don't need a new planet, but I want to see something other than more ruined Russia.

I assume it's like the beta download. A small download then it downloads in client.

9.5 MB lol

 

[Kintaro]

I dont see the problem. Destiny is treated like a MMO by everyone and Bungie. These are your major patches. Instead of paying per month to play, you pay per for your major patches instead. If you didnt see this, you werent paying attention.

Content on the disc was a given. MMOs do the same. Each patch contains elements of the next.

That is very likely the size of a generic stub/downloader. It's also possible that Bungie will deploy the DLC like Dark Souls II, where everyone gets a huge patch that makes it "on disk" by default.

IT is highly, highly unlikely that the finished versions of both DLCs are on disk.

 

[Sai-kun]

And that is somehow worth $20?!

Well, that is like a third of all the content that shipped with the game anyways...

Spoiler

lol

 

[LookAtMeGo]

No I get killed all the time and it pisses me off so I spend most of my time in PVE.

 

[ProvenDeadly]

No, he said he had more fun playing Destiny PVP, even though he said it wasn't as good as Halo PVP. So I asked "so you have more fun playing worse games" It's his opinion.
