I've been playing Destiny since the day it came out. Didn't hear about it till one of my bosses told me about it, I work at Target so it was right in front of me when I was working. Pick up a copy and have been playing it non stop, though I do play extremely less when the content has been out for a while or when an update like "House of Wolves" and the "April Update" comes and makes the game extremely easy to get everything. [b]Nevertheless I still love this amazing game.[/b]
Anyways I made this thread because there is a spot in my room where I just keep stuff a like, I mean stuff I really love, some is games, some is music, and some is souvenirs that mean something to me. Then I notice how much of that stuff is destiny, a lot of it then I was wondering how much money I spend on Destiny so I started thinking.
[u]Money spent on everything involving Destiny[/u] :
Destiny - $ 54.37
Dark Below + House of Wolves - $ 34.99
Destiny The Taken King (Digital Download) - $ 39.99
Destiny The Taken King Collectors Edition - $ 98.04
Taken King PS4 - $ 362.51
Silver (total amount) - $ 259.93
-*Note*This silver was bought of a course of nine months
-$20 for the orginal emotes
-$40 for the Festival of Lost event and emotes
-$50 on SRL and emotes
-$150 on all 3 sets of Desolate gear, should't have been this much but I was being stupid and opened chest on my Warlock to try to get the Titan and Hunter set.
Bungie Store (total amount) - $154.18
Destiny Rise of Iron - $29.99
Bungie's Twitch Channel - $15.00
[b]Total Amount - $1,049.00[/b]
After I did that math I was so shocked, never thought I end up spending that much on a game and stuff that relates to that game. Then I started looking at how much time I play destiny on wastedondestiny.com . Not sure if it adds time afk in the tower, or time afk in orbit in all of it.
[b]Total time spent playing Destiny - 1,744 hours, that is 10 weeks 2 days 16 hours 45 minutes and 22 seconds.[/b]
I love this game, it is my second favorite game of all time, first is Tales of Symphonia as seen in the picture. But I do have some interesting stories for Destiny. When TTK dropped and I had class I made sure I woke up at 4am and played for 3 hours before I had to head out for class. When Kings Fall came out, I had to work from 6am to 2:30 but my boss let me come in from 4:am to 12:30 so I can go home and play the raid right when it came out.
Played this game with friends/family/co-workers and so many random people online. Made lots of new friends through LFG and from forums and some enemies arguing. Its just been like any other MMO I've played in the past, very time consuming and got to love the grind with friends, get mad when I don't get something I want then it extremely happy when you finally get what I've been hunting for.
[b]I really do love this game, but am I too obsessed with it? How much money have you guys spent on Destiny, also how much time?[/b]
-
I think that is a lot, but you pursued your passion and that's all that matters in the end. I'm glad you're happy and that you praised the game so much! Take care guardian!
-
If you think that's bad, don't start playing pc games.
-
You bought a second ps4 or upgraded from the ps3?
-
you didn't get a discount for working there?
-
I mean.. I bought my ps4 & xbone both just for Destiny. But I'm not thinking that starts me at 1000.. Imma say I sit around $270 1 disc Expansion pass Taken King digital collector's x2 60-80 on silver.
-
2060 hrs.
-
Damn!! I didnt think ppl would spend that much money on silver? Wonder how much Bungie has made off it.
-
You would be surprised at how much money I spent I warframe that's why I stopped playing it and just stuck to games with basic dlc pricing
-
So in other words... You've got a nice wallet and you want to tell everyone. A fool and his money are easily parted,I guess.
-
I used to work at target, great people. On topic- If your not playing this game ot would be another, so imo your not obsessed. It is a good game overall, it gets alot of shit because there aren't any games like it that does what it does.
-
I have 1326 hrs and a little over 200 bucks spent with more intended. I'm here till the end lol. Don't think I've ever been invested this much in a game. (FF7 comes close) I think the appeal for me in this game is the Factions aspect. Picking sides, that feeling of belonging to something. (I made an FWC bumper sticker for my car lol) Everyone has a hobby. We like what we like. If you can balance yours with real life, kudos! :)
-
You spent $259.93 on silver ?! . That's insane
-
Edited by Shirtless_Captain_Kirk: 6/20/2016 8:35:04 PMThe extra console, silver purchases, Bungie store, and twitch stuff are excessive. That was needless spending, but it's your money. I just think you need to moderate a bit. You sound like a great guy. If my words sound harsh take it as tough guardian love. :)

Edited by stnbooth: 6/20/2016 8:49:52 PMI don't really care what you spend your money on. I'm just left wondering why you'd buy the taken king, the taken king collector's edition, and the taken king ps4 by,for. You bought the same content 3 times?
-
450 for my PS4 of Destiny, 40 for the DLC's, 40 for TTK, 30 for Rise of iron, 30 for rebuying TTK, and 20 in silver. So about 620
-
You wouldn't be the first fool to spend too much on something and regret it; you certainly wont be the last.
-
It's your money. Who cares what other people think. Spend it on things you like.
-
150 spent on Destiny but saved hundreds by not buying games I would have bought otherwise.
-
You work at Target and don't get an employee discount?!?!
-
I think that money could have been better spent.
-
This is my opinion on it: If you want to buy something, then buy it. If you wanted all these things then I don't think it's a waste of money. After all if you didn't spend it you wouldn't have gotten it. Are you too obsessed? I don't think so. I think you are a real Destiny fan, but not obsessed. I would have bought the same stuff if I wanted it.
-
That is quite a number. But doing the math of how much I've spent on Bungie alone, it'll probably match up to about that. I haven't hit their store yet. God help me when I do....
-
Gaaah! I still need those engrams so I can squeeze the stress of still not having them out. Every time I have the cash to drop, they're sold out.
-
Lol I got destiny and all its dlc for free on ps3 :) And when I buy a ps4, il be getting destiny on that with all the dlc for free too :p
-
Obsession on a whole another level
-
Some one at work spent £1500 on FIFA...
