    Gostei da nova forma de contar a história que a Bungie arranjou desta vez...na minha opinião o jogo deveria ter sido vendido assim como está agora, com todas as expansions e o taken kings.
    Não compensa pagar o preço que o Taken Kings tem...para jogar missões que estavam bloqueiadas no teu Jogo, ainda se colocassem mais missões e mais planetas novos, e não apenas 1.

There is a ton of new content in this game. After completing the main story line, there are at least 6 new quests that open, continuing on side story's that were hinted at in the first year and providing a lot more playability. The story telling is vastly improved, both in the new cutscenes (of which there are a lot) and in the voice acting. Nathan Fillion and Nolan North provide great dialogue, which is funny on many occasions.

    The Dreadnaught is also huge. There are the main areas to be explored, but the ship contains numerous little tunnels and areas to explore, each having some type of chest or secret mechanic to discover which opens up new rewards. Court of Oryx provides interesting new play mechanics, there are 4 new strikes to play through, two on the dreadnaught, one on earth and one on Venus. Vog and Crota areas now have story missions attached to them, so you can explore those areas if you didn't have a chance to raid in year 1. Other reviewers mistakenly say that much of the story recycles old maps, but that's simply not the case, especially for those who had trouble finding raiding groups. Mayhem and Rift are great additions to the Crucible playlist and there are a number of new maps to play on as well. Mayhem might be the best addition that comes with Taken King.

    The removal of light level to reach the experience cap at lvl 40 is a great improvement. Reaching level 40 will unlock the content, but light level is still needed to beat those bosses. This structure makes a lot more sense since it doesn't lock out content now for landing change weapons. Playing through harder levels becomes easier with better weapons, but it's still possible to play that content without the best gear. It's a much fairer system. Not perfect yet, but a lot closer.

    This is easily a game that could have sold for $60 that only costs $40. It's clear from others reviewing that they either didn't play TTK at all or didn't finish the main story mission. This is what Destiny should have been when it was released a year ago. I'm excited to see what it becomes moving forward. It is certainly a much more rewarding experience than it was before.    … Expand

The taken king meets its core player half way with an actual story, great new gear and weapons, rewarding those who grind away, and much needed balance to the weapons system. As much as i love the new much awaited dlc, its not exactly perfect. Some areas are reused and for the price tag of 40 dollars i would like to expect completely new areas, if you plan correctly you can reach its new level cap in a matter of minutes which kinda defeats the purpose of the gameplay imo, and you cant help but feel that this should have have been the complete from day one.

    PROS:
    fun
    Worth the buy if dedicated fan
    great weapon and amor system
    grinding is more rewarding
    meeting demands to current fanbase
    Visuals are awesome
    about an additional 7-10 hours of additional gameplay
    a more balanced game

    CONS:
    year 1 exotics nerf
    price of dlc of important content that should have been added since day one
    reuse of same areas
    price of dlc for year one players total $160 spent with tax

    Overall a great buy and fun game.    … Expand

Brand new enemies and classes add new and exciting combat mechanics. With enemies that split in half or blast you with shields the dynamic of PVE changes and I'm excited to see what the new strike and raid bosses have in store. The new PVP modes and maps change up the competitive play as well giving me incentive to go back with my clan mates to bust skulls.

    Folks are going to complain about lack of content and to some extent they are correct. Does that mean Taken King deserves that 1 or 0 on Metacritic? Absolutely not. The game is mechanically fantastic and the new additions are well thought out and implemented. Bungie actively listens to its player base and trys to make their requests happen and for that I applaud them. Veterans of the game will love this expansion and folks who have hated it will continue to hate. For those of you new to the game this is a great time to jump in and is a steal if you are buying it all in a bundle. If you haven't played it yet I highly recommend you try it out.    … Expand

    The story is a lot more coherent now and has humor too. Really enjoyed playing this. It really seems to be a lot more self-aware than any of the previous DLCs.

    Nathan Fillion helped Bungie knock this one out of the park!

    TTK is a great DLC, 4 new strikes, a new raid, re-worked Story mechanic with additional story - now quest based, new weapons (SWORDS!) 1 new subclass per race, new PvP modes, new PvP maps.
    Yes, for a DLC its steep at £40 but I know I will be playing this way longer that I would be playing a DLC from any other game some in terms of game time per £, no problem.

    If your interested in Destiny don't read most of the negative reviews most of them are a joke and probably stopped playing last year or never actually played it.

You can play with your friends or by yourself. Though I admit it's more fun with some buddies. The loot you get now compared to year one Destiny is greatly increased and it is usually gear that is useful. This game gets better with age. Although it may seem a bit pricey to some people. But to me it's better then paying monthly to play a huge mmorpg. I'd rather pay for an expansion every 3 to 6 months then a monthly fee. I also like it better then shooters like Call Of Duty, and Battlefield. However I am more of a PvE kind of person and only dabble in PvP shooters. I enjoy the story missions cause while yes you replay the same missions. But with the loot you get, no 2 play throughs' are exactly the same. It let's you test out what weapons you like and don't like. And the same goes for armor. While the only negative thing I have is like I said before is most of the environments are the same. But it isn't a deal breaker with just how smooth the gameplay is for me. So if you want a good time with friends or just by yourself pick up Destiny: The Taken King. It's pretty awesome. And if your like me you will become addicted!… Expand

The first 15 minutes of the Taken King expansion are better than the entire 'story' of the base game released last September. The new enemies, the Taken, are more than simply re-skins. They have their own unique animations and attacks that separate them from their counterparts and even have liabilities and attacks that mimic our Guardians' supers. Couple this with a HUGE new patrol area located on the Dreadnaught in Saturn's Rings, new PVP game modes such as Rift (Capture the Flag) and Mayhem (Supers all the time TDM), a new take on Strikes, an enhanced loot system, and a slew of new weapons and armor and you truly have Destiny's most fully thought out, immersive, and engaging expansion to date.… Expand

This new iteration of Destiny is a massive improvement in quality in all aspects, finally making Destiny the top notch title it always should have been.

Which is extremely unfortunate, because The Taken King expansion is actually a really great experience. Everything from the small changes, to the large game mechanic revamps help to completely revitalize the base game.

    When I say that Destiny is the VICTIM of hate culture, I mean that you will most likely see considerably more bad user reviews, than you will favorable ones, it is the game that is fun to hate on. Most of the bad reviews don't actually present any real or justified reasons for the low scores, they are just blind hate.

    But if you are still reading this, then you deserve to know why The Taken King is deserving of a high score.

    - Level design: Most of the areas in the story missions are brand new areas, and those areas feature some cool level design that is markedly different to the story missions before it. There are some fun new platforming mechanics which make things fun. The atmosphere in some of the levels is really intense.

    - Further on the story mission design: A lot has been said about Destiny reusing old areas for missions, but one thing MUST be noted about this. The Patrol areas (the main areas of each planetary location) are the Hub areas of those worlds. Each hub area connects to various sections of that world. Almost all the story missions in the game DO in fact feature entirely new map areas, despite what people say, however many of them may start with you spawning in a familiar location, for example, the Cosmodrome has a handful of spawning locations, and you spawn there for every mission no matter where that mission takes you. In TTK this isn't as much of an issue as you are spawned as close to your objective as is feasible in the game (ie it's not logical for your character to spawn inside a building, as you can't land your ship inside a building).

    - Cinematics: The new cinematics that are added to the game are awesome! The between mission cut scenes significantly flesh out the NPC characters in ways that were absolutely needed. It added an atmosphere to the game which is awesome.

    - Villain: For the first time in Destiny, they made the villain a character in the game. Rather than another enemy to kill. I actually FELT the anxiousness and danger that Oryx presents, and every time he shows up, you feel his hate.

    - Weapon Foundries: The addition of in-game weapon manufacturers has meant there are weapon designs which are much more unique in design and operate in fascinating ways. No longer are we seeing random weapon designs that all function the same.

    - Your story: In TTK, the world of Destiny recognizes your character. They acknowledge what you have done over the course of Year 1. Countless times throughout the game, your achievements are noted by the various NPC's. When Oryx arrives in the solar system, YOU are the Guardian they send out to meet him. Only you, the legend, can overcome such a power opponent.

    - Characters: As mentioned above, the NPC's in Destiny haven't really been fleshed out much previously, TTK tries to resolve that, by making those characters the focus of the story. It pays off brilliantly. Cayde-6 is hilarious, his banter with Eris is perfect, Commander Zavala and Ikora Ray are both interesting characters, and Oryx is a very imposing enemy.

    - The bad: There isn't much bad to say about an expansion which improves on almost every aspect of the base game. The overall Story arc with Oryx is too short for his character. He is by far the best villain in Destiny, and really does have that typical TV show villain feel to him, the kind that you build up to fighting over the entire season of the show, with the Raid being the final episode of the season, but it feels like a 13 episode season, rather than a full 23 episode. That's not to say those 13 episodes aren't awesome, because they are! but it's sad to see such an amazing enemy be dealt with so quickly.

    Summary: The Taken King knocks it out of the park. It improves almost every aspect of the Destiny game, while keeping those fundamental game pay mechanics that made it so much fun to begin with. As a game, it isn't perfect, though TTK has shown that the true potential of Destiny is not as far off as we thought. I thoroughly look forward to where Bungie take the game over the course of Year 2, and into the following years.

    Another bad thing, is knowing that we won't see such an influx of content until Destiny 2, as the following DLC 3 and 4 will likely be considerably smaller in size.    … Expand

As a game design enthusiast, I feel they just got so much right in this title.

    - The three weapon load out is a golden triangle. Switching between primary, secondary and heavy weapons in pitched battles feels clutch. You have options, but not too many. The power level for each feels highly appropriate. The available combinations to experiment with are numerous. They pioneered this tight + controlled weapon loadout concept in the original Halo and the design language remains strong in Destiny.

    - To continue with the point above, the gameplay and pace for an FPS feels perfect to me. Having the gunfighting component complimented with melee, grenades, and super we see that another golden triangle emerges. Tying stats to these skills was smart. Most all of they make your guardian truly feel *powerful* and unique. The RPG component of this game really has merit and doesn't detract from the FPS elements in the slightest. The skill trees remain fairly balanced between and among classes.

    - While the story was definitely...lacking in plot and exposition, the level + world design has been consistently spot on. Every area feels textured, detailed and respectively thought out. So many beautiful vistas. Travelling through the world on your sparrow can be a pure joy - providing a welcome break from the fettered pace of combat. Another beautiful and under-appreciated design feature.

    - The sound design in this game is the best I've ever come across. No title matches Destiny my honest, humble opinion when it comes to sound effects. Certain exotics are just sound addictive. Sparrows sound amazing. The hugely varied enemies all have amazing triggered sounds upon death and it compliments the FPS mechanics perfectly. You just want to keep popping off enemies.

    - They finally added meaningful multiplayer to an FPS. Competitive PvP is great and all, but what really makes Destiny sweet is the strikes and raids. These are the bread and butter of Destiny and really what make it stand apart from other games on the market. I've been a huge proponent of cooperative gameplay ever since Halo 1 truly pioneered split-screen play. Playing with other humans against AI just makes it so much more involving and fun, it's hard to put a finger on it. The loot from these activities is a huge draw that keeps you coming back for more, reminds me very much of Diablo 2. Completing your first raid feels like a huge accomplishment in teamwork. The feeling is really only matched by a handful of MMORPGs. Bungie deserves all the credit in the world for bringing this not only to FPS players, but to console users as well.

    - The lore is captivating and the entire premise of the world is highly alluring. I love how this is a science fiction title based in our own solar system, not some randomly named star-system we could care less about. The combination of familiarity and wonder really comes together for a backdrop that is truly unmatched for the vast majority of game titles. This is a game I willingly invest myself in because it's just so damn cool. Coolest game I've played in the last decade. This is obviously a highly subjective opinion but I just had to say it.    … Expand

    Looking back a year and half (when the Taken King expansion launched) I was hoping Bungie would get their act together and really put effort into making the game it was meant to be. While there were still problems with it, the Taken King period (from its release until Rise of Iron) was a very well done year. It had a decent story that was passable and at least something to care about.

It had a decent story that was passable and at least something to care about. It reworked its quest and stories and made them more clever. The raid was not as complex as Vault of Glass, but not as simple and exploitative like Dark Below, making the middle ground work well and having a blast sending Oryx back to hell.

    The reworks and changes made from the first year dramatically bumped up the quality of the game's overall MMORPG-like nature. It carried alot of the old problems first year Destiny had, but made more far more optimistic for Destiny's future. It was a good time and I enjoyed it the most of Destiny's first three years.    … Expand

    TTK really made Destiny the game that should've been released back at 2014! You guys really should go and buy it because it really changed everything in the game!

    Just read some bad review, take them with a grain of salt. This expack has more content then the two last one put together, so if TDB & HoW was worth it to you than the Taken King will be worth it. The new patrol is great fun if you look for secrets, hidden special chest, court of Oryx, special quest, new public event. Great fun!

    The best thing that I can say about this expansion is that despite the lingering problems, it's well worth the asking price and you can trust me when I say that such statement does not come lightly. While it may have less story missions and strikes than the original game did, the quests and loot improvements make it last much longer. The new strikes are way better than the original onesThe best thing that I can say about this expansion is that despite the lingering problems, it's well worth the asking price and you can trust me when I say that such statement does not come lightly. While it may have less story missions and strikes than the original game did, the quests and loot improvements make it last much longer. The new strikes are way better than the original ones and the main storyline not only makes sense but it's actually interesting this time around. It does not solve all of destiny's troubles. The grind and lack of new stuff to do begins to sink in after a while, though much later than the original game did when it launched.… Expand

    Taken King is really good and I have had a lot of fun with it so far, this is what Destiny at launch should have been. But the way Destiny and its DLC have been sold is really stupid.

    The original year 1 Destiny was good. Hitting level 20 was like hitting a brick wall with a grind fest to get the right gear and level up. Enter the Taken King ... improved almost every aspect of the game. Bursting with content, a major improvement on story and cutscenes and the grind is still there but in a much more tolerable entertaining package.

    The Taken King shows off Destiny's full potential. This is a must have.

    The Taken King addition corrects majority of errors that Destiny had from the beginning and finally brings a larger portion of the story and lot of new content to explore. [Issue#258]

    For the first time, Destiny feels like it’s complete. It’s not perfect, far from it in fact, and I still can’t entirely disagree when they speak of the package itself as bad. But I’ve also been unable to put it down for the past month I’ve played it.
