That's not worth 20 dollars. (Destiny)

by General Vagueness , The Vault of Sass, Wednesday, October 29, 2014, 17:14 (3479 days ago) @ Kermit

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?

The MCC is a great deal, but it's been 13 years in the making, and the hardest parts of that content was done long before any work began on this repackaging. In other words, it's not something out of nothing.

Destiny, on the other hand, is not quite like anything else,

It mostly is, though; it's not exactly like anything else, but nothing is exactly like anything else. It's a good-to-great shooter with magic-like abilities and MMO-style investment and grind shoved in. Regardless, whether it's a fair comparison or not, the MCC is their competition, and for at least a few people, they are (massively) losing the competition.
