Bungie Talks Destiny: The Taken King Details

[Frankster]

More then a DLC...It's a GAME.

At 40$ I fucking hope so, and that it comes with blackjack and hookers too AND does my tax forms so I don't have to.

Reach sucked imo. It introduce Armor abilities, DMR, mess up the lore with a whole bunch of plot holes, and other shit. Halo 2 was the best halo by far. With Halo 4 (just the story imo) coming in 2nd.

Really, i'd say the opposite. Armor Abilities changed the gameplay, mostly for the better. (Though Armor Lock was a problem.) The DMR is a favorite addition of mine, sure better then the BR in every way.

And I find four's plot being hilariously bad. Being absolutely terrible for the lore. I still don't get how hardlight, in any way, can do what Cortana has it do. (Considering how it's constructed.) The big bad is just... too boring, and flat.

Iunno. I know differing opinions and all, but man total opposites here.

Well, I had a post I was writing up for you and it just disappear. So instead of writing it all out again I'll just do little points.

- It's cool to have different opinions
- Halo 4's true enemy wasn't Didact, it was Cortana going insane and Chief unable to do anything about it.
- I think both halo 4 and reach MP were meh at best.
- Halo reach felt wasted in not introducing any S-II and breaking a lot lore the books set up.
- I know people will say that game trumps books, but I feel like it like the movie. Why change things when you don't need too.
- Halo 5 beta felt like halo 2 back in the good old days, yet brings new things to the table.

Oh, it's an entire game? So... why does it need the base version of the game to work? Sounds like DLC to me. I don't have time for that. Your initial game did not impress - what makes you think I'd hand over $40 just to see if your game has gotten on par with other MMOs out there? Not a single person has taken a look at this price and said "wow! Can't wait to get my hands on that." Fuck you, Bungie. Destiny is a fun experiment, but at the end of the day, you have only ever proven that you are in over your head when making anything other than a competitive first-person shooter.

Frankly, I just hope this franchise will capsize already so Bungie can make something else.

Personally I like the base game. I recognize that it isn't for everyone and it was waaaay overhyped but I thoroughly enjoyed it. DLC 1 was weak but still an enjoyable addition while DLC 2 was awesome and showed that Bungie listened to all the complaints people had about DLC 1. In short I don't feel betrayed by Bungie like a lot of others.

So with that said I'm going to withhold judgement on the price point of this until I hear more information.

Depending on how many story missions it has, the size of the dreadnought map area, and generally how much additional content it includes I could totally see this being Destiny: 1.5 instead of simply being DLC 3.

Good news: It does. Bad news: it also reports the hookers on your tax returns, leading to an audit.

Honestly with the amount of money required to experiance full version of video games, hanging with hookers sounds like the cheaper alternative at this point. Plus I can always get a happy ending AND cry myself to sleep at night.
