So, $40 for DLC that will give you weeks of playtime added onto Destiny. Or $40 for you and another person to see a movie and get snacks at a theatre. An experience that will last two hours at most. I'll take the DLC.

    Would you pay $40 for a movie that you've already seen, without actually going? (identical to paying for the original game - as featured in TTK download) Or would you pay $40 for a 30min movie? (identical to less content, but similar price for TTK vs original game) The issue isn't your priorities, but whether or not the price is worth the limited content. For you, obviously, it appears to be, as your only measuring stick mentioned is the ratio of time:money. To others, it tends to be different. I spend thousands more for a car, yet spend less time in it, than playing video games. Doesn't mean I should value this transaction any more or less than its worth as a standalone product.

  • TTK has content at least equal to about 2/3 of the original game. And I count enjoyment as well in that amount. I have actually enjoyed Destiny and beleive the price is worth it. The amount of content also helps with that.

  • Cool. So in Destiny, there are 4 planets (areas). So in TTK, because 2/3 was a rough estimate (I understand this was an estimate of other content included as well), is there going to be 2-3 areas or just 1 more? In Destiny, there were about 10 vendors (HoW brought 3 more), is TTK going to bring 6 more vendors? Destiny ~20 missions (depending on what counts as a mission), so roughly 13 in TTK?

  • TTK will be updating the entire vendor thing. I don't know if faction quests will finally be in, but they're changing how the gunsmith and Eris act in the game. Osiris will have it's own bounties while Crucible bounties are getting changed up. A ton of Exotic itmes are being added. Bubgie inferred more quests would be updated in and the ones we get with the DLC are just part of the "first act" or whatever they said. Three new strikes on top of updating all the PS exclusive strikes with a Taken-ified version. So technically six new strikes incoming. Only one patrol area with Phobos probably being explorable. The Dreadnaught patrol is supposed to be bigger than any current patrol (which doesn't seem very hard to do). And the patrol should have hidden bosses and stuff in it to find. The Oryx raid should be bigger than Crota's and hopefully VoG. Along with eight new Crucible maps and a bump up to a level 40 cap. Also, new subclasses.

  • Weeks??? Idk about weeks. Thy say it's as big as the original game. If that's the case it will be 2 weeks and most everyone will be maxed out again, look the same, and rock op broken weapons in crucible that you can't contend with 90% of the time. Within a month the new "raid" will have been beatin by most everyone. And all that will be left is more crucible, with the same broken weapons as mentioned before. I really liked it but the price isn't what kills it for me, which yea 40 bucks is too much IMO. What will kill it is the lameness and staleness that happens in the short month afterwards. Too many good titles coming out at the same time to ask 40 bucks, when I can go grab fallout 4 and be entertained for a lot lot longer for 60$
