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]
-
1700? Thats it? Im at 2000 hrs plus.
-
No. I do want my own ghost plush tho
-
Shit. If you can drop $1,000 on a single game and still pay bills and be happy, then more power to you.
-
I've spent a pretty penny . 2 Xbox one with all Destiny expansions. 1 ps4 all expansions
-
It's your money and time. Better than spending it on meth.
-
You at least get anything cool out of all of that Silver?
-
As long as you are happy and healthy.. No problem. But make sure you have some life balance.
-
Nah man. You earned that money and it is your choice alone on what to spend it on. Glad you've found a hobby you love doing. Don't let anyone criticize what you spend YOUR money on! Happy hunting fellow guardian!
-
What is your salary? If you are doing fine economically then go at it but if you have debts still and such i would recommend cutting back. Hey, your hard earned money though. Not mine. Just wondering.
-
Not too obsessed. To attention starved maybe. But not obsessed.
-
....yes
-
Prior to Destiny (and my son being born) I spent $27,000 in one year on my car hobby.
-
Your money, your choice. There's alot of hobbies out there far worse than playing destiny. You could spend money wiser though. Maybe waiting until prices drop and things like that.
-
I mean, it's fine for the most part, but 250 dollars on silver?
-
Yeah that's ridiculous. It is a great game though, one of my favorites too. I just believe silver ruined a lot of the game and I don't support that side of it
-
[spoiler]you nolifed the shit out if this game bruh.[/spoiler] [spoiler](つ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)つ [/spoiler]
-
I usually walk into a store with a $1000 and walk out with nothing to show for it. It's like I walked into a money vortex.

Edited by Pocket Fox: 6/17/2016 9:59:30 AMIf you weren't spending it on Destiny you just would have spent it on some other form of entertainment anyway (other games, movies, electronics, etc.) Entertainment costs money. You earned your money and have the right to spend it how you please. Be happy you found a hobby you enjoy and is worth your entertainment dollars (and Destiny really is a hobby if you think about it, lol). Game on, guardian!

dw your not the only one, its like crack to me! im also obsessed....
-
Not obsession, more like dedication. Heck, this one dude has 3D printed nearly every exotic weapon and hangs them on his wall (I'm so jellz)
-
Well, ask yourself this: on a scale of 1 to 10, how happy are you with your life?

Wtf get agent 47 out of there he's -blam!-ing up the motif.
-

-
Nah, its normal mate. Your life, your money.. Do whatever ya want. Been here since day one. Destiny is far superior gaming, fun and talk shit with friends. Been playing sometime since launch. [spoiler]p.s pre ordered RISE OF IRON! Lol[/spoiler]
