Unless they have weird gameplay changes like they do on the raids, then yes, this is the same f*cking boss.
Wow. This 'expansion' seems less deserving of $20 every day.

Bungie managed to piss on both sides of the exclusivity deal, impressive.

Reskin aside, the fight itself sounds quite different than the nexus fight. Might also lack a cheese cave.
I was like 'really' when I saw that shit. Love the game but reskins can only go so far. I paid for the DLC and I'm getting reskinned bosses. *face palm*
Yeah yeah I know it will be a different fight and tactic but damn give it legs and boosters or something.
I'll be playing it anyways but man, Bungie isn't good at this content business. Everything is just a palette swap with an added texture and increased size. I know other MMOs do it too but repeat content is usually spaced out really well and it's limited to minor throwaway characters/enemies.

Not to mention the Xbox players who have to wait a year for all the content.
Exclusivity sucks, for any platform, but at least for other games, one platform "only" had to wait 1-3 months for content. There was always a light at the end of the tunnel. It takes a rare game for me to be playing it a year after launch, and Destiny ain't it.
It's ironic that one of the reasons I don't play much Destiny anymore is the lack of content, and Bungie is willfully contributing to that dearth.
I don't mind it being exclusive but why on earth would they release it with paid content. Just give it to PS4 owners at some other time.
Suros Regime rocks. I got one two weeks ago on the nightfall. Fully upgraded it is a beast. Though I think they nerfed it a little.

Gonna bet the strike itself reuses Black Garden areas instead of having unique zones, just like Dust Palace. GJ Bungie
They could of at least re-skinned a hobgoblin or something. They've already done these guys twice, once in the raid and once in a strike.

Bungie keeps delivering meh stuff to what could have been one of the greatest new ip. Maybe at this point they're doing it on purpose. Get back on track, please.

I'm ready to dive back in, but not off to a thrilling start with that boss re-skin.

Dust Palace was the most interesting strike in the game. sadly
Which at least makes the encounter different, and slightly more interesting to replay over, and over, and over...
Dust Palace strike bosses are the best in the game.
Much more fun than wailing on a giant bullet sponge for ten minutes.

"In PvE" is what I assume he means.
Probably should've specified for PvE. PVP of course they are a beast. But with the high-level PvE content you can't stay close enough to use shotguns effectively, at least that's my experience.
I'm not getting the expansion. Maybe when there's a good deal on it next year or something, but I'm closing in on my personal end game, which is collecting all the exotics and raid items. Once that is done, I just have to wait for my friends to get to lvl32 so they can carry my lvl30 through the normal VoG, for the Flawless Raider trophy. LOL! That's about the best thing I can think of about the expansion.
The reskin doesn't bother me. What bothers me is the fear of having to repeat attempts at the new raid and its reskins AND the VoG in order to collect all the new items they've thrown in. Nah. I have other games I need to play. Destiny has stolen 3 fun-filled months of my life. Great game, but I need more than this to continue. PEACE.

And this is were games journalism (or lack thereof) comes to light. 3 months later, and no one has dare to ask Bungie why every single Strike boss is just a resized normal enemy.

I just cant understand how this game was in development for so long, yet reuses so much.

Honestly I didn't expect anything but a reskinned model for an exclusive strike so I'm not surprised. I'll wait to see if that boss has different mechanics from the Nexus Mind before I judge it on that front but if it's the same, that will be extra lame. Not that I'll get to play it any time soon lol. Still think it's bullshit this is exclusive since I find it highly unlikely they only planned to make one strike for the expansion originally.
So. How long until we get a giant Shank as a strike boss? Seems like a no brainer for the House of Wolves expansion lol.

I expected nothing more
Why not? All the bosses in destiny are just larger versions of regular enemies anyway. They ran out of enemies to turn into bosses. Can't wait to fight a 40 foot dreg in the next dlc

You don't even have time to explain why you don't have time to explain that.
That being said, the more strikes the better and I ... kind of want that silly shotgun.

looks like I will be picking this up. Sounds interesting if nothing else.

They've confirmed he has multiple forms, but his first is most definitely just a knight.

A strike and the chance to get an exotic shotgun, I still haven't gotten hawkmoon. Though I stopped playing so there's that but still.

I'm mixed with PvE shotguns, a good shotgun with quick shot times can be a life saver sometimes, but they pale in damage output compared to a sniper for sure.
I'd argue that sniper rifles are too strong in PvE, lots of bosses you can just hang back and snipe without penalty.
I feel the strike has the boss from the Nexus with his circling shield but with some added stuff, especially time travel from Atheon.

yeah. It sucks.
I play on both platforms and I can definitely feel the dearth of content on the X1.
A good void shotgun works wonders against praetorians if you can jump away before they slap you.
So giant Knight --> giant Acolyte --> giant Thrall, his purest, unadulterated, and most deadly form.
