Fair enough. I see a lot of people that enjoy the game and that's completely fine. It seems to have a ton of content when you're playing with good people.
I just could never get in to this game, unfortunately.
You could say (and I bought way more than this):
Vanilla Destiny $60.00
Dark Below and House of Wolves Expansion $40.00 (believe it was 30 if you preordered).
The Taken King $40.00
Rise of Iron $30.00
2 Large Spring Content drops $0.00
Live Events $0.00
So one could vest 160-170 for 3 years of entertainment (and this isn't directed at people who just played the story, you missed the whole damn point of Destiny if you did just that).
Being part of the hardcore, I bought digital versions, limited editions, the PS4 taken king bundle, and too much merchandise that I won't go that deep but it was worth every penny. Game of the generation for me, met countless friends, attend a couple of LAN 4-day weekends with clanmates and memories that exceed anything I've done while gaming. If it was just myself playing the story missions? Yup, I'd be part of the trolls.
