I'm all for bashing destiny but don't lieI 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.

But, as Bungie has proven, it is far easier to just resize and slightly change the textures of a preexisting enemy.
The DLC itself is starting to look a little bit better

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

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.

After every boss being a standard enemy with extra bells and whistles, they actually wanted to try something different or impressive.

They've just been making tweaks to it.
Quote from: Raptor the Kid (24) on November 20, 2014, 04:18:56 PMbut its looking up, I guessIt 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.
