Important to follow the source on this one, the numbers are fluctuating. Now we're at 32 story missions.

That info came from what they were able to pull down from Destiny's servers somehow using the Companion app. Maybe the story is true, but you also have to believe that Bungie had every mission and map listed in their database for the beta. Personally I think it's a good glimpse but probably not completely complete.

"22" is just a number. Sure, we have seen a few of these low-level story missions in the beta; who knows how big and complex the later ones are.

It seems the big thing of the moment on reddit and Gaf is how much content is this game shipping with? A bunch of fluctuating, unofficial numbers is not going to help us much and, to be honest, feels like it really cheapens the experience that Bungie is trying to bring here.

Besides, there will always be the "Moar contentz or pre-order canceled!" crew.

Don't know how many Borderlands 2 fans are here but it only had 19 main story missions and it felt like I got my moneys worth. 22 missions to start Destiny sounds good to me

I really, really hope they give us official details before the game launches. Specifically, what will be available at launch AND (roughly) what will be in the expansion packs. I hate buying things before I know what I'm getting (I didn't/won't pre-order without more concrete information).
