They actually just updated the game. They added the DLC content with the update. That's why this content is now there.

I didn't know that but is it really any different than having everyone download the dlc and then locking it behind a paywall? It's no different from being disc locked.

The greatest sin more than any of this is the fact Crota is just a Knight.

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.
The greatest sin more than any of this is the fact Crota is just a Knight.
You think at least he'd have some badass armor and magic effects or something like that.

But, as Bungie has proven, it is far easier to just resize and slightly change the textures of a preexisting enemy.

I was expecting a demigod type being with ridiculously large spiky ornamental armor.

But instead, Crota's going to be a Knight that's even more of a bullet sponge.

Actually...Rumour is a dev said that the knight is just one of his forms.

The DLC itself is starting to look a little bit better as well since side quests are revealed.

Okay that's total bullshit.

But the inclusion of quests, some cool new gear specific materials and new raid mechanics at least shows they're trying. Yeah, it still seems hella overpriced for £20, and its missing a strike for Xbox people ( fuck activision), but its looking up, I guess:

Not really sure how ridiculously large spikes on armor fit with the Hive's art style, but maybe. I'd be more expecting of ornamental skulls with ash black armor that has a green fire underneath and at joints where you'd think his body would be.

Okay, now you're just trying to give Bungie too much credit.

I wouldn't be surprised if Hannaford had designed something awesome that looked something like what I described or better, but the character modeling team at Bungie doesn't have it cut out for them to make something like that.

Eh, maybe the criticism destiny got was a wake up call to get into first gear. After every boss being a standard enemy with extra bells and whistles, they actually wanted to try something different or impressive.

The majority of the DLC was made before release. They've just been making tweaks to it.

That may have originally been the case, but in seeing the backlash, they try to quickly fix things up

but its looking up, I guess
It really isn't. The more I read about Destiny, the more disappointed in Bungie I get. This is the company that I used to praise with friends. The company that did the most awesome things of any game developer I knew, like the Bungie Day stuff (hooking up with a team of 4 to find Bungie for a steak or Recon? Hell yes.), free maps for DLC, the awesome weekly updates and the picture/clip/forge contests. The company that actually seemed to care for its fans and the people who played their games.

Bungie is dead. They made the latest and greatest AAA title, more expensive than any other game before, and it failed. Disc locked content? Virtually no story? "Become a free style legend" stunt sparrow DLC? Bland, repetitive and downright lackluster missions, gameplay and multiplayer? Tolerating and even encouraging the dozens of mentally challenged 12 year old "desticles" that are now their target audience and core community while seemingly willingly driving away anyone who's been there for years?

Destiny won't get better. And neither will Bungie. I'm glad you still enjoy the game, but do yourself a favor and don't try to convince yourself that things are looking up because of a few overpriced new items and quests. It'll only lead to more disappointment.

Destiny was dull as beige, and had less story than half a transformers movie. But it by no means failed, it made a shit load of cash, and activision will be sure to bring it about again in a couple years time. However, since it doesn't have the reputation and history of COD or Mario, people won't be nearly as gullible next time. If it wants to survive, it has to appease.
The long term fans are the ones who stick around for the DLC and extras; they can't survive on 'desticles' as you all the, .
Bungie isn't dead. Its changed a hell load, not for the better so far, but I should think it will do all it can right now to keep people happy after spending 10 years on the high horse and suddenly finding themselves knee deep in shit.

And besides, I can't get much more dissapointed than I already am now. I got nothing to lose by being open minded. If its good, I''l buy it. If not, I won't.

Yeah, but without that, the playerbase gets splintered. This isn't nearly the first time it's ever been averted in this way.s

It's one thing to have exclusive missions locked away, because you can simply not let everyone go there.

But a problem occurs when you introduce new weapons, gadgets, vehicles, or anything else that isn't in the vanilla version of the game. It's better to let DLC players use their DLC content with people who don't have it, rather than force what's essentially two different continuities of the game--with DLC and without DLC--to the online functionality. It's not good if you have friends who can't play the game together anymore whatsoever just because one of them did not purchase the DLC. I can tell you, I for one would NOT be happy about that. So the simple solution is to make sure everyone has the same version of the game, and just lock some stuff behind a paywall.

On the bright side, when or if the player decides to purchase this content, it's already there. But suffering through a huge update for content you don't want or have is such a drag.

It pisses me off that people are realy going to throw there money at this shit.
5 Missons you already bought on the disk where you play the same exact "Defend Dinkleshit" for 3 waves over and over again
1 Raid That will stop being fun after the first month and will just turn into another mundane grindfiest for once a week RNG loot
More worthless reskins to dismantle for worthless curency.

Borderlands2 Had masive DLC There is more story and character Development in Tiny Tina's DLC then there is in all of Destiny, In fact that DLC is larger than all of Destiny.

TES: Skyrims DLC was massive, and I am still finding more content from the base game to this day.

 Mass Effect 2's Arival DLC was an entire mini-prequel To mass effect 3

Mere missions in Halo 3 and Reach absolutely Dwarf the cosmodrome

Smash Bros is a bigger game and that's not even open world.

How is it with a good chunk of $500 Million dollars  they managed to put in no substantial story to speak of in game, not even lore when so many games that dont even need it, Halo, The Last of Us, Metroid, Call of Duty, Pokemon, The Elder Scrolls, Borderlands, Dark Souls, Even five nights at fucking Freddie's manages to do this right.

Monster Hunter may have been a grind but at least it had substance. It had Real progress, True challenge. Dynamic game play with both styles of combat and enemy behavior it has Actual varied weapons. Destiny is shoot the same shit repeatedly to unlock more of the same randomly generated reskins until your hands cramp and your eyes melt out of their sockets or until RNGesus finaly decides to bless you with a mythoclast after raiding the Vault for the 17 billionth time only for Bungie to nerf it in PvE for a PVP exclusive issue that could easily have been fixed there (along with the whole host of balancing and connectivity issues that makes Crucible an unfun pile of garbage that literals takes everything people hated about Halo Reach and 4 and makes them 1000 times worse) Meanwhile Bungie gives not shits that the Bad JuJu i worked for weeks to complete a reduculous bounty is a worthles pile of trash becasue they are more concerned with nerfing harmless shit like the loot cave and promoting there cash in DLC

Destiny is cash in Garbage. I am glad I traded it in and rented AW before buying MCC.
