If it improves communication then it is a good thing.
I fear that though the messenger has changed, the "message" will not.
Lets be honest, real information from Bungie has been rarer than a G-horn drop.
Enough hype, enough vague assurances, enough kicking the can down the road.
We do not need the keys to the kingdom, however we do need to believe that the kingdom REALLY exists.
Again, lets be honest. Destiny "ruled the roost" last year mainly because there was NO COMPETITION from new AAA title franchises. Well, 2015 is different.
Halo 5, Fallout 4? New, established, AAA title franchise GAMES for $60. Destiny "expansion", $40. Well, the only way to decide if TTK is worth purchasing is to know what it REALLY contains for that $40. Do we know? No, because other than vague assurances and PR hype we have been told nothing.
Bits and pieces over weeks at a time may sound good to Activision marketing, but mature consumers are unimpressed.
Give me a reason to choose TTK! Give me a reason to buy it day one versus waiting until after I have played Halo 5 and Fallout 4!

You...you give voice to the aching in my heart!

This is very well done and exactly how I feel.

Bump bump bump bump bump

Halo 5 is practically all Titans running around. Black ops 3 has golden gun and other destiny bitten abilities. If you can't see this game influencing other triple a fps then you're crazy. The problem is this game isn't competitive. Between bonus damage perks, grenades you barely need to aim, shotguns and a bunch of other things we could list it lowers the skill gap. While destiny is fun it needs to be cleaned up big time. Imo it has the potential to be the next big fps, but we're quite a way off in regards to the implementation.
-
The funniest part to me is that people have actually preordered TTK and we don't even have a factual clue as to what content they are offering to us
-
This. Every weekly update: "Just wait until next week for more news!! We have something GREAT!" Yes..? We are still waiting for that great news...
-
Unfortunately the hype is more important than the actual game to scumgie.

Edited by Househ0ld item: 7/15/2015 6:53:41 PMWell said.

Edited by Vox Mortuis: 7/15/2015 6:50:23 PMWe still have two months till ttk gets here. Relax, they aren't going to show us anything this soon, and hopefully not much down the road. At the very least I want the raid to remain secret, I don't want them to show it off like they did PoE.
-
And if they were at all trustworthy that would be fine.

Edited by Ballinmal: 7/15/2015 7:25:17 PMBut like OP said, us mature consumers are sick of the vague and obscure info they hand out slowly week by week. When e3 dropped, fallout gave me more reason to play it in 15 minutes of gameplay than bungie has from e3 and on. Fallout showed us a lot 5-6 months before release date, yet two months before the taken king drops and we are still basically clueless as what this "expansion" will contain. We have many more questions than answers at this point and it's making many of us who are torn between our love for the game and our hate for the lack of communication between us and bungivision question if it's worth it.
-
We know it will include story missions, strikes, pvp maps, and a raid.
-
So, basically, all the same things we've been doing for a year? No we need to hear of innovations to the game not just running through a "new mission" that is 80% old territory. Also we expect those "new" missions, strikes, etc. But they have yet to answer some big questions like what will happen with year 1 weapons, or what kind of rebalance will take place in the weapon department or anything that adds to the immersion of the universe we protect as guardians of light.
-
They've already said plenty about that...you just have to look at what they said. New "patrol" area, which most of the new missions/strikes/raid will be in. Adding taken to old strikes on Mars to show the world changing due to events, just to name a couple.
-
Adding "new" enemies to old content (to someone on Playstation) isn't new and is a lazy attempt at immersion. And again we expected a new patrol area we need innovation in this game before it gets buried under competition. Can you tell me if they have given us a completely new feature in the game? Not the remade UI, or something else reinvented, but something that we have not seen in destiny yet. Legitimate changes that aren't currently in the game in some way shape or form.
-
It is dlc...do you expect them to completely change the game with it? I don't. I'd wait for destiny 2 if that's what you want.
-
All I'm saying is if this expansion, not dlc, is anything like the lackluster dlc we have received, destiny will get buried under completion. And destiny would be just another game that couldn't live up to the expectations.
-
No game lives up to expectations when people hype themselves up too much for it.
-
Umm, bungie drove that hype train...
-
Bungie starts hype, of course, they want to sell a game. Players expand the hype.
-
Bungie outright lied. "See that mountain in the distance? You can climb it." False.
-
Don't even bother explaining rationale to this person, you could very well be arguing with a ten year old.
-
Nailed it!
-
So. Much. This.
