Good as in, compared to Halo 3/ Reach? Or good compared to the quality of ODST or Halo 4?

Story wise.

I stop by town often now so I may get the TTK edition so I get everything. But then Halo and Fallout come out in a month so I dunno.

I don't know if I can compare it to the stories from Halo, but if I had to - maybe ODST?

The story in TTK is much darker and somber than the vanilla game and original two DLC packs, and the new enemy help give it a pseudo-horror feel in some spots. It also feels much more focused - you aren't just going planet to planet killing bad guys, at least in the main quest-line. It's pretty much "This God is pissed at you and is coming to kill you. Your endgoal is the kill him first", and these quests all build to that conclusion - preparing your ship, getting you new powers, and then having you explore the new area to find him.

I hope that answers your question.

I love you, son.
I liked the cutscene where we have the Vanguard discussing things with Eris. There was some good dialogue there.

Eris and Cayde-6 are definitely the stars of the expansion pack, along with

I need something to kill a month, and it's either this or mad max

You can check out the opening scene at the post above you and see how it looks a bit more. It doesn't spoil from the new story, but does tie in to the ending.

$40 should still be equal to 2/3 of a full game's content. Does it really have that?
you get vanilla destiny, the dark below, the house of wolves, and the taken King for 60 bucks. Well worth 60 buck imo. If you bought destiny, the dlc, and the expansion separately you def got scammed hard
So now it's a full game for $60 that's still shitty? Neat
better than all the halos combined

You either die a hero or live long enough to become Mythic..
So...is it worth me upgrading to Xbox One?

Because while I do trash Destiny, I will say the gameplay is fun as hell, and if it has enough content without being a grind fest i'll consider it

For those considering getting it: don't.

In a few months, there will be some kind of sale where you'll get it for a far better price than what it is now. Just because you don't have anything to play doesn't mean you should buy into this hype shit.

I'll probably get it next summer if I'm really bored, because by then there'll be a big price reduction once Destiny 2 is announced at E3.

^Basically what Prehistoric said, just wait a few months and it'll be on sale (hopefully for 50% off) and I plan to pick it up then.

If TTK is as good as people are saying, it's maybe worth £20. TDB and HoW weren't worth £20 combined.

No reason in getting Destiny 1.5 when you can get new games for a little more. When MGSV, Halo 5, Fallout 4, SW BF, Gears UE, Rare Replay, UCC, and plenty more have been released/will be released, a glorified dlc shouldn't be getting hype. But here we are.

I wish they just included Dark Below and House of Wolves in the base game. Then the price tag of Taken King wouldn't bother me.

"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.

If you can just kill this god, he's not really much of a god, is he?

God of war isn't canon.

So...is it worth me upgrading to Xbox One?

Because while I do trash Destiny, I will say the gameplay is fun as hell, and if it has enough content without being a grind fest i'll consider it

If you have a nice 360 or a PS3 with a sizable HDD I'd just say go with that. All your characters will transfer if you wanna get the next-gen version (so long as it isn't like PS3 to Xbox One or vice versa of course) and while it may be an addicting game it's not worth getting a new system over at least IMO.

hey
I got this game with my PS4, I sold it about 2 months ago after having not played it since January

If the Taken King really does make the game a lot better, I might buy it again, since I only played the vanilla game, probably more worth it now that there's actually content in the game

Probably a good idea to stay away from #Destiny still
Play the game or not, that is a hellhole

If you bought it digitally, you can transfer the data over to the next generation (360-XB1, and PS3-PS4).

If not, just hold off and wait for a sale on the DLC.
