Reviews across the board positive (Destiny)

The question is how long do I wait for TTK to get discounted do you guys think?

I say buy it now or don't bother with Destiny anymore.

The fact is, The Taken King is more of the same, just polished. If you didn't like Destiny, you won't like the DLC pack for Destiny. The longer you wait, I think the less the experience gets you. I killed Crota on hard in one sword yesterday. Who wants that? Well me. But it ruins the experience. Be there from the beginning on this or don't be there at all, IMO. Come by for Destiny 2.

EDIT: I say this knowing your posts and what you say about Destiny. If I were you, I'd move on. However, I think The Taken King is a bargain at twice the price, and would suggest it to all Destiny fans. Unless you show it some weird way, you're not a Destiny fan. Skip it.

About 5 minutes of playtime into the expansion the cryptarch gave me a Hawkmoon and I'm still disappointed. That should tell you something.

I had moved on and not really played Destiny in 1-2 months, but I was swayed yesterday by people saying how much better it is. However, this one just feels like any of the other expansions... some of the "new levels" are just playing old levels in reverse. Even the ones that are "totally new" still feel like re-used environments with structures moved around a bit and some lighting/music changes. The new music and cut scenes are nice. The quests are very visual now, which is good and bad. My new class is cool, but the game feels pretty much the same, just a little better.

I can sense that after about 2 more hours of playing I will be back in the grind to get the new marks. I'm not sure I want to get sucked into that again.

PS It'd be nice if the exotics said their max #. When I got my 160 Hawkmoon I thought it was an expansion Hawkmoon and I'd get it up to 300 or whatever the new max is. I mean, why is he giving out old, junky Hawkmoons???
