[quote]There is a lot more to the DLC than just the story missions. There is a raid, 3 multiplayer maps, and loads of new weapons and armor. [/quote] You have a very different understanding of what "a lot more" means than most other people. 1 more raid, 2 more strikes (1 for xbox), 3 PvP maps (one less for Xbox), and honestly not that much more weapons and armor do not feel like big numbers to people. But hey, maybe the problem is because everyone is comparing Destiny to [b]every other game on the market[/b] as far as what "a lot" of content means or from other games that have used the term "expansion" instead of just DLC. Maybe for Destiny, it is "a lot" of content considering how little there was in the main game, comparatively I guess it is a lot. [quote]I get the feeling like people just want to bad-mouth Destiny because it's the "in" thing to do. Many of the people who are bashing this game for it's lack of content have well over 100+ hours played, it's just mind boggling that getting 100 hours of play isn't enough for some people.[/quote] I see this counter-point a lot. The problem with it is it's a meaningless statistic like the number of people playing the game. Destiny is specifically made to take a lot of time to play. Upgrading weapons, leveling past 20, weekly missions. Xur showing up every weekend. All of this is designed to force players to spend a lot of time playing just to get what they feel their money's worth is. A lot of people play games to be a completionist and Destiny makes it extremely frustrating for those people with RNG all over the place forcing a much longer playthrough. A lot of people play Destiny more as a daily chore then a fun activity at this point. So your "100+" hours point really means nothing. The game's central mechanics are just enjoyable enough to make the chore of it not torture and thus keeps people coming back but to say it's worth the money is ridiculous. I could play a ten minute game 1000 times that cost $1.00. That doesn't mean that ten minute game was worth the dollar just because I played the shit out of it.
