That's not worth 20 dollars. (Destiny)

by Riceamike, Wednesday, October 29, 2014, 13:14 (3467 days ago) @ Xenos

Really, the issue is with game pricing in general. Dark Souls 2 had three DLC for 9.99 each, with unique areas and gameplay that greatly improved the flawed base game. The season pass for the three was only 24.99

Destiny is a game that already has a significant lack of content, and is charging 20 dollars for what will end up being less than 5 hours of gameplay. And it's coming out a month after the MCC, which has what... 96 maps and four campaigns and two remastered campaigns and multiplayer? All for 60?

Some DLC is great and adds a lot. World of Warcraft's expansions for instance, you'd be hard pressed to find a player that didn't find it worth the purchase. With this, though, it seems like it's not enough to make up for the lack of what is already in the game. It'll ultimately end up feeling like it fills in the gaps instead of being an addition.
