It's entirely possible that I won't be playing Destiny 2 either if the microtransactions are bad. I've stopped playing Rise of Iron since beating the hard mode raid.

Not overplaying content hardly makes you special or even interesting.

With things like Uncharted 4, the campaign has none at all and I can just play it and not ever even see a prompt to pay money if I just ignore multiplayer (which I have). Destiny does not have that luxury.

Uh, wut? Do you even see a prompt for micro transactions if you never walk up to the Eververse counter?

But never say never right?

Well... you did. Now you've become one of those cautionary fairy tale lessions about the perils of those who go back on their word.

And yeah. Same bet. 100 Silver (or the Destiny 2 equivalent) says you'll play Destiny 2 no matter what.

Diablo 2. And I was saying hay only in regards to quests.

No, sorry. I was referring to the post I made a month or two ago about how Destiny could be more like Diablo III. I almost linked it, but I was too lazy to search for it.

But that's in part because I find Diablo to be considerably more rote and simple compared to the activities I enjoy in Destiny.

I do too. I think that's why it works. Diablo allows me to grind while watching Parks and Rec or something, or listen to a podcast. Destiny requires just enough engagement for me to not do that but not enough engagement do fully hold my attention or make it fun to grind. Like just about everything in Destiny, it's this weird middle ground that just doesn't quite work.

Something a bit more than the two and a half events we've received so far, hopefully.

I'm not trying to get in the debate whether or not they "owe" us something. I'm purely stating with the numbers provided one can't make any conclusions on how much of that is microtransaction revenue.

Given that Rise of Iron was half the price of Destiny, one can conclude that quite a bit was microtransactions money.

In terms of debate at least. I'd like some more, but I myself have spent 0 silver, so I dont really get to have an opinion on what's "owed" or not.

Just, you know, hoping for more. SRL was very cool, so if we get anything of that caliber I'll be very happy. No clue what that would be, mind you.

Uhh.... How?

you can get 3 packages by just playing the quests on all 3 characters

It only took one try, and fortunately it was on the PS4, where only one character has leveled up enough to do it.

I generally treat this stuff like gravy--nice but not necessary. Didn't get the much coveted Ghost Ghost on either platform. Oh well.

I did buy the emotes, though, because emotes are cool and worth it to me.

Yeah, I was using CoD as an example that supports Cody's view. No harm done. :)

You should cut back on the member berries.

Competition for attention is harder than its ever been, and as a consumer I have more options than ever before. This is good and bad.

Either way, you look at the past with Rose colored glasses too much. You don't want experimentation or trial and error, you want the same thing over and over again, which is why you can't put Destiny down.

If I wanted the same thing over and over, I'd be playing Halo still. Do you see me playing Halo 5?

…

I love experimentation. However, this experiment has failed on a creative level.

Ok, you can sidestep all you want by mentioning Halo 5 but what about Destiny, cody?

You complain that it's a grind and the same content recycled, but STILL you play.

You don't take breaks. I never, EVER see you on anything else online in PS4.

We come back to this all the time with you: you are addicted to this game and you know it and yet you still can't put it down.

Because you don't really want to.

You don't like MMOs or RTS games. As for Rockstar's games, you just never bothered picking up Table tennis or GTA.
