Yes, I know, >Destiny

But seriously, this DLC was actually very well done and they learned from their mistakes from the last one, The Dark Below. It contains much more content, fun content. The story missions aren't horde mode. The lack of a Raid is disappointing, but the Prison of Elders is actually a very challenging, fun replacement. Customization is now a thing since any piece of Legendary armor can be ascended rather than being forced to wear Raid armor in order to be max level.

If you haven't played Destiny in a while, go play it if you bought the season pass or have money you don't mind spending

Well. Yea?
I thought the game would be better than it was but on the flip side I feel like it's been semi worth it.

>haven't spent a dime since launch

That's basically the same as spending money on the game months after launch, you know.

HoW is shit.

These are the story missions.

1. Running through missions you've already done backwards, but now with stupid and pointless additions (like mines and traps that you have to shoot to disable) in order to make the missions longer than they really are

2. Go into patrol to kill random enemies cause bungie needed to pad game length

3. Running through half the the vault of glass with none of the interesting bosses

4. Going to two area's that are already in the game that you can already glitch into

The only part of original content is the strike, but even that's not very interesting because it's basically on par with every other strike in the game. I haven't touched the crucible or prison of elders yet.

Probably, I don't plan on buying it. Really the only reason I still play Destiny is because I fell for the hype and bought the season pass along with the game at launch.

Until they supplement the RNG with guaranteed rewards, I see no reason to continue playing.

Can confirm.

The live reactions he had are the highlight of my day.

Prison of Elders is actually really challenging at the correct level. Got good drops from it too. :)

Well I got the Limited Edition when I thought it would be a really good game so.

So many of us made that mistake....

I only go back to the game for a few days to play the DLC I already spent money on. Might as well right?


The story was a little bit better than Crota's End, but I still hate the lack of cutscenes. The story isn't presented to you all at once in a neat and orderly fashion like a cutscene does. Instead you are given small pieces of the narrative through the process of playing each mission. You read a quest from the Vendor in the reef. You forgot what it said by the time you are starting the mission. Then you hear a voiceover of the loading screen (where your ship is flying) as you start the mission.

I tended to forget the overall goal of what I was doing, and wasn't engaged a ton. However I was far more engaged than I was during Crota's End's story missions(which only had 3, this one I believe had 5?).

TL:DR Not amazing, still grindy. But it's better than Crota's End, and The Prison of Elders is actually really fun.
Also, gotta love how during development the point of Destiny was to AHEM "Earn your gear. Accomplish things that are noteworthy to get great rewards." And still, we have RNG. So no "achieving or earning" anything. It's all random, which literally contradicts the entire point of the game.

"Become Legend" = "Become Random"

Strangely enough this was the first time in Destiny I actually felt I earned my gear.

At times yeah. I solo'd the whole story since I didn't start til after most of my friends did.
So it wasn't a walk in the park for me.
