Wait Bungie you're telling me that for $35 I can get one Raid and Strike, and some guns and armor?

Lol what the fuck is this shit Destiny was $60 and you're telling me this is equivalent to over half of the initial content.

Bungie is killing this franchise no one is gonna buy this shit.

I thought it was $35 for both expansions? Still it's pathetic.

What, how fucking bullshit Bungie is? or that you can literally get half the game's worth of tracks for $16 in Mario Kart 8?

g💚jira · October 30, 2014, 10:46:22 PM

It should be at least 40 dollars. In fact I think that's too generous. For a game like Destiny I must pay a MINIMUM of 75 dollars for its DLC. Even that is undervaluing it. I wish the game had microtransactions like an EA game so I could pay even more.

Based Bungie.

Bungie is basically the Covenant Hierarchy at the end of 2552.

They committed suicide when they signed a contract with Activision

Kinder Graham · October 31, 2014, 03:06:15 AM

It's $35 for BOTH expansions

Mattie G Indahouse · October 31, 2014, 04:57:11 AM

Once the end of 2015 comes this game is going to be so dead due to other games.

So was H2 a rip-off? I mean, this is the same situation

Both are unfinished games
H3 was $60 and was the cut part of H2; 4 Destiny DLCs are $60 and the cut content of the game

LOL.. Raised Light Level only by 2?! Bwahaha.. So glad I sold this game off.

Isara · October 31, 2014, 09:45:57 AM

I think the issue here is that $35 for both expansions doesn't feel like an actual deal because inherent quality of the game. If the game had great quality with its low amount of content then I am sure that people would be willing to pay a certain price to enjoy actual quality content that adds on the existing experience.

However, Destiny missed its shot, and therefore asking $35 for both expansions does feel a little awkward. If Activision-Blizzard, and Bungie want to see many people who played Destiny and certainly liked something to an extent then they need to give a very good reason as to why that $35 should go into Destiny and not another video game out there.

I made a thread about this in #destiny.

"You should see the stupid shit they use to justify it.

Corrupt Setter · October 31, 2014, 12:37:00 PM

At this point Bungie seems like a shell of its former self.

Well for one, Destiny intentionally cut content
2) Halo 2 still had a better story and more multiplayer maps, and better balanced.
3) Had more social features than Destiny (which was marketed as a social game)

The difference is that this was cut intentionally and not the same situation at all.
Halo 2 was unfinished, ended on a cliffhanger and had broken MP because Halo 2 was in development hell. They ran out of time, thus Halo 3 finished it (although rather poorly).
Destiny has been in development since before Reach, so they had plenty of time.

Destiny is shit, and what Bungie are doing is shit.
This is something EA would do.

That agrees with what I said. With destiny they didn't want to be ambitious with a fantasy game so they played it safe with a sci-fi shooter. They cut content then sold it after release for $35. With Halo 2 they were trying to put in so much they ran out of time. Destiny doesn't even have a plot.
