The Taken King fixed most of Destiny's biggest flaws. If you want to play in the Crucible, the old standard loadout[footnote]Exotic hand cannon, shotgun with Rangefinder or Shot Package, and rocket launcher with Grenades & Horseshoes.[/footnote] is no longer an absolute must. It is so refreshing to see scout rifles, auto rifles, and pulse rifles showing up in the kill feed. Right now, if Bungie could find a way to offer regular competitive play - custom lobbies, sponsored tournaments, and improved public matchmaking - Destiny would make a serious play for the title of best multiplayer shooter on a console.Nimcha said:Kind of cheating but I played Destiny at a friend's place, I don't own it myself. I'm thinking of getting it now though, the new expansion seems to really make it a good game.
The Dark Below was decent, but it was definitely too short. The raid is great fun. My regular fireteam's among the tiny minority who actually run Crota's End legit every week-- we only ever cheese the raid if somebody needs to head out for work, or a new player keeps wiping the team out.theSovietConnection said:Alright. Only reason I was considering the House of Wolves and the other DLC (can't remember it's name offhand) was for story purposes, so if they aren't exactly that essential I may get Taken King next paycheque then.Lufia Erim said:Word of warning. The only dlc that matters is The taken king. Anything before that is a shell of what those expansions were. Im not sure if you need all the DLC to play the taken king. But it may be cheaper to buy the legendary edition that buying them all seperately. And aparently the phsyical copy is cheaper than the digital one.
If you are going to buy DLC. Do some research first.
For what it's worth, I ended up getting a physical Legendary Edition - and the in-game Collector's Edition bonuses - for a cheaper price than the digital release. If you do decide on a 'complete' package, you'll find that patch 2.0 made the previous content slot into the vanilla game quite well.[footnote]The first mission of the Dark Below expansion - the Fist of Crota - is given quite early in the game right now. In the vanilla game, there were missions where you would visit locations that referred to Crota and Oryx, but it made no sense. That's no longer the case.[/footnote]
