So gameinformer had a behind the scenes of Vid of the new expansion pack, and the bungie team there, seemed a lot different to the halo 3 or reach team :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0_jiB2hqeQ

No one was excited or energetic or really happy, which was kinda odd for bungie.

Perhaps I'm looking too much into it; times change, people have come and gone.

But considering the rumours of how creative control was reserved only for the top guys in the company, and with Staten and Marty. the two most public members of the team, gone, and Destiny's troubled development and less than stellar reception, maybe everyone there has just become tired and worn down.

As for the DLC, it looks alright-ish. The multiplayer maps are nothing special, but the strike seems good, tied into the new side story (a story with only one fucking character but anyway). Too bad there's only one for me -_-. And the Raid looks really promising, might even just be with the £20. Might be. Maybe.

At this point though, I'm not sure if the game can be saved enough to contiue with their 'ten year plan'. Maybe they should just retcon everything and start afresh with Destiny 2, and give it a name that makes sense.

TL;DR Bungie team seems sad, DLC prediction: 6.5/10- Correct amount of water, Destiny reboot?

One word: Activision.

Are we still gonna blame the COD publishers for Bungie losing their creative mojo?

Activision is the knife, but Bungie is the one who sliced their own nuts off.

We honestly can't blame Acti, all they did was give Bungie a deadline, it was the higher ups in Bungie who couldn't agree on the direction that Destiny was going to take, lets face it the game Joe was wanting to make was the master peice we were all expecting, not another boring scifi shooter.
Even if Joes idea wouldn't have worked, the game would have been carried by Bungies name alone and lets face it... That's what happened with the thing we ended up getting.
Everything comes to an end at some point and Bungies creative magic has ran dry.

Lol they don't look like they know what they are doing.

That lead designer looks like an idiot.

Eh, it was likely the inner fuck up occurring after staten left, but activisions exclusivity drive and deadlines sure didn't help.

Well the game was delayed twice.

How does your avatar keep changing?

Who?

Eye rolled at everything the devs said.

Yeah I bet you sure listened to the community feedback when you made this dlc before the game came out.

I think they expected to just be able to roll out the DLC after finishing during dev time, but were awoken by all the fan feedback.

I think you're looking into it too much.

Needless to say, the DLC looks good so far, but given the content in it, I'd wish it was cheaper.

To be fair, they're paid to make games, not talk about them.

Playerbase: PVP still broken
Bungie: LOLNERFDALOOTCAVEAYYLMAO

hehe remember when everyone was saying Activision wouldn't ruin and interfere with Destiny? Haha that was funny.

Impression is everything though.

Bungie has always been bad at public speaking in general.

ehhhhhhhh.....

Maybe it was just Staten then. His ODST reveal was good.
