I was thinking about getting back into Destiny until I seen the crazy price of the Taken King DLC. After paying €90+ for the game last year with the expansion pass they now want a further €45.
The way it's been bundled with copies of Destiny at the moment is a real FU to anyone that bought the game in the last year.
Bungie and Activision are a terrible combination. I see the Ghosts voice has been changed from Peter Dinklage to generic Walmart voice over. That's a pitty.
This game is a gigantic money pit. I wouldn't mind if DLC prices were very cheap but Bungie wrecked an epic campaign to better favour this DLC rubbish. They could have had a great story with a beginning, middle and end but they slapped the game together with very little care for the outcome.
It's sad to see a studio like Bungie fall this far in such a short time. I enjoy Destiny but I think I'll wait until the FU edition comes out with 200 DLC packs included

GoTY editions are nothing new.
Let's take an example that is not a subscription MMO at launch times:
Borderlands 2 Main Gam = €70
Borderlands 2 Season Pass = €40
Individuals DLCS NOT included in the season Pass = €30
Borderlands The Pre-Sequel Main Game = €40
BLTPS Season Pass = €40
Total for all that content at launch = €220
2 weeks ago you could get the handsome jack collection for ~€29.99, that's about 10% of the price.
A new Steam RTS game will cost €40 - €50, that christmas it might be €2.50
WoW and Eve cost €15 month, you would have paid €180 to play them for a year (which is BEFORE tTK comes out as that's year 2), Destiny with the Season pass was ~€100
It's economics and the depreciation of games and the content and DLCs over time.
I could go on but you've probably made your mind up.
Everyone has a different perception of value for money.
Never once (aside from maybe Kickstarter) has it EVER been a good idea financially to get any game Day 1 and get in on the ground floor0 -

I bought it for the Xbox One last year, played it very briefly and then put it to one side due to utter confusion, lack of storyline among many other reasons. I never got far, only a few single digit levels.
Thing is, I've watched a couple of YouTube videos over the last few days and I'm strangely drawn to it all over again. I'm in two minds about getting it. If I do, it'll be for the PS4 meaning I'll be starting from scratch. For people who currently play but more importantly, for people in the same boat as me (used to play but gave up), is now a good time to jump back in?
If I buy the whole TK package, do I need to start with the vanilla Destiny game in order to upgrade before I can tackle the new expansion? Destiny still confuses the hell out of me. Can anyone explain?
The white PS4 embossed Destiny bundle looks ace but I don't think GameStop are selling it. I definitely would have traded in my black model for that.
Ì will wait for Cormac to reply to this as he will do a much better job explaining it to you, however, If, like many, you only played until you reached ~20 then you missed most of the good stuff, in fact, all of it!
Getting the full TTK edition now will be a good move IMO. You will quickly level up as well and you can do that from today if you decide to buy it now 0 -
Got the last of the golden chests last night and did some more patrols, Thorn is great fun to play with. Regarding the new sub-classes, do they become available as soon as TTK lands or do we have to complete some story missions first does anyone know?
Not liking Nolan bot at all, shame they changed that.
/Edit: Anyone come across this issue before where your primary weapon wasn't displayed? Just the reticle instead? Also, is there anyway to check what gear in the game you had at a previous date - I think I just lost a sparrow last night - as in I had 4 now only have 3.

Being a good time or not probably depends on the type of game you're looking for. I am in the same boat as you, got caught up in the hype, got stung with a day one release, and left it in my pile of games til about a month ago.
I am at the stage where I recently upgraded to an Xbox one so was contemplating upgrading the game but will wait until it drops quite a bit in price. I only really play campaigns and pvp, and while everyone knows about the sh*tty campaign, pvp just doesn't offer enough to get me to splash out. I have gone from a 1:1 k/d ratio to regularly getting 5/10 kill streaks but still don't feel like it makes a difference to the game (still convinced it's weighted towards the losing team), the delay in play is frustrating so much getting shot when you make it to cover, and it has my pet peeve of being dropped into the middle of a game.
There's something there, and probably more if you're into all the stuff the lads on here talk about (raids, trials, etc) but with Halo 5 and Battlefront out soon this will end up in my pile of games, so I'll wait til TTK legendary edition is going for about 30 and I'll jump back in.
You can get TTK for £35 pounds from simply games. For the amount of content you won't get a better price on any game.
In relation to your point about PvP I think it has the best PvP setup I've played in a long time. I only played PvP on the 360 for years and this is by far the most enjoyable experience I've ever had. Yes there can be instances of lag but nothing compared to COD. Destiny also has one of the best PvP modes in any game with TOO.
With people mentioning day 1 adoptors getting burned on price I do agree slightly but like Bohrio said above if you look at the cost to time you've put in I've gotten a bargain. I've 800+ hours in the game and collectively I've spent €110 on all the content including the TTK. So that works out at 13c an hour and I haven't even started TTK yet.
I think most people who play regularly are not complaining about the price but the people who gave up early or who are thinking about coming back now are.
I used to spend €100+ on one night out drinking with the lads and the only thing I had to show for it was a pounding headache and a pair of smelly jeans I'd rather spend the money on Destiny now

PvP in Destiny is fantastic. It's the first fps in ages that I find myself thinking about when not playing it.0
