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]

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]
-
Your warlock has about my time with all 3 characters it's like whatever to be honest when I played runescape back then my time on that beats destiny by jesus I don't even wanna compare it I know people who have played wow since It released to this day
-
If I can spend over $1500 on Planetside 2 and have no regrets you are fine. Assuming you stay up on your bills and all.
-
Hey I added you on ps4, ur my type I'd player. But question why did you get both ttk digital and the collectors edition? Was it because you upgraded to ps4?
-
I have over 3000 hours played plus took like five months off fml

Edited by Tyler: 6/17/2016 3:43:04 AMWhile in the end it sounds like a lot of money, in the end it is fine as long as it's disposable income. I feel like something becomes an obsession when it starts to negatively affect your life. If you have all the money you need for living expenses and other important life things and then have some left over, your free to do with it as you please. For time it's easy to add it all up and feel like it could have been used for something different. The way you feel about this depends entirely on you and if you feel you got a satisfactory amount enjoyment from the game. The only thing to keep in mind is that at the end of the day video games for most people are a hobby only to be used in spare time and shouldn't take priority over more important matters.

Well in posting this, you obviously want to be.
-
Maybe a little overboard on silver but a lot of that came from the special ps4. But it's your money to spend so just do what you want.

Edited by GodOfRandom: 6/17/2016 1:26:38 AMI've got engrams, TTK CE, SRL track jacket, all 3 class hoodies, all 3 TTK subclass t-shirts, the Nepal t-shirt, a copy of CoD:AW I've never played, and the Ghost Edition, which I spent $250 on because it was announced, and sold out, while I was at sea, so I didn't get a chance to pre-order it. And both soundtracks.

Was it worth it? Did you answer yes? Then you're fine. Just don't buy anymore silver, christ.
-
260$ on silver whattttt???
-
Spend your money however you want, but I would personally (and have) spent over $1000 on games in the past 2 years, but it gave me all different types of experiences and stories. To spend that much on a mediocre game such as Destiny, yeah you might be obsessed.

Edited by Creed422: 6/17/2016 2:06:54 AMYou forgot about how much silver youve bought. Edit: nevermind, I overlooked it. Good god man!
-
I chocked on a hair ball when I saw the money. But yay! I think...? ACCCCKKKK!!! PPPHTTT! Sorry..
-
I'd say you may be a bit obsessed but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's when obsessions control your life that they become a bad thing. Also, I approve of the Tales of Symphonia Chronicles game there. Excellent game and one of my favorites
-
Wow, I bought the digital edition with tboth y1 expansions for 90$ plus $40 got ttk. No silver. I love destiny but maybe slow down a little?
-
Is prefer zealous
-
I wanted to say, that you are not obsessed and it's nothing wrong with it... And then I saw 260 bucks spent on Silver. ... Yes, you are obsessed.

reported [spoiler]just kidding[/spoiler]

Take a breath....

Edited by RedButcher: 6/16/2016 11:09:26 PMAh your at just under $.60 per hour so your still getting your money's worth. I wouldnt go to Destiny rehab just yet.
-
Hey man as long as you're not blowing off work or your other responsibilities to play then I'd say you're fine. It's just like any other hobby if you ask me
-
Yes, you are a little bit obsessive
-
Nope.
