    The Taken King is a fantastic follow up to the original Destiny and made it 10x better with better graphics, an excellent story, intriguing characters, and overall a fantastic expansion to Destiny that was actually great.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I can't believe many people have many very crazy reasons to hate this game. I am not going to say more words than I did say about what other people think about this game. The campaign may be short but the game is fun even during the time when this DLC came out. There may not be in-game chat but this is not a bad thing at all and there does not have to be such feature for a game to be a MMO. Oh, I never see many people in a patrol server. This game should be known as an FPS game.… Expand

    Destiny: The Taken King is a big improvement to the original Destiny and it's first two DLC packs.
    The sheer amount of content and quality of life improvements, make Destiny feel for the first time, that it may someday reach it's true potential.

    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.

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 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

    I hated Destiny when it first came out, the only draw was its similarities to Halo. The Taken King has elevated the game to something I can actually play full time, like a lot of MMORPGs from a decade ago. The new subclasses are also a great addition, especially the warlock's. You can feel like a real mage now!

    On top of the many updates and outages. The fact that one can't play offline is a terrible feature that should be changed. Also Bungie will kick you out of the middle of a game no matter where you're at without warning. Unless you subscribe to their twitter feed...

    At this point, the game has become more suited to PvP players who play the Trials of Osiris or Iron Banner - The presence of unpredictable challenges as a way to keep the game fresh however PvE has experienced a massive drought for almost a half year which has seen many of my friends move away from the game. The content itself isn't bad but the quick lack of it is, and Bungie's inability to make this content prevalent/ not coming up with new ideas is taking the game downhill. The April Update definitely came as a refreshment but it wasn't a game changer.

    I view the game positively because it has bought me into competitive PvP and helped me meet other gamers like myself, However if you are looking for a diversion here, it may or may not last you long. The Kings Fall is definitely a raid to try out but the Vault of Glass in the original game was such a good raid that I can only wait till September to see if the new raid outdoes the fantastic predecessor. 8/10.    … Expand

    The lack of matchmaking when it comes to raids is still baffling. Raids are the best part of Destiny, and will provide a much more purposeful end game for everyone if matchmaking was there. In fact, the end game content is the only thing preventing The Taken King from getting higher than a 7.

    Simply put, there is no game on the market that comes anywhere close to what Destiny does. As a game design enthusiast, I feel they just got so much right in this title.

The power level for each feels highly    Simply put, there is no game on the market that comes anywhere close to what Destiny does. 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

I wonder how people manage to play this for a year playing even less content than I played. I don't get Destiny fans.

    The biggest problem with this game is that Bungie made some very dumb decisions that totally destroy the endgame. They ditched their old content and made people focus on the last DLC. A game that is already so small becomes even smaller. I don't know (and never will) any previous raids because there's no reason for anyone to run them since the loot is concentrated in King's Fall. Another aspect is that they limit the main quest (raid) to one run per week. So I just play the game on tuesdays. If they wanted to limit the progression they could find other ways to do that. That's just bad design.

    Positives
    - Good combat. It's a great shooter, when there's reason for you to actually play the game;
    - Good graphics, I guess. I was not amazed by any means, but it's competent. Enemies designs are nice.

    Negatives:
    - Bad endgame design decisions;
    - Crazy small world for a MMO-type game. I mean, WTF, it lasts one week (the whole game, all DLC's included);
    - Get's boring ridiculously fast;
    - Poor loot system (I can't even imagine how it was in vanilla times. I hear it was even worse);
    - Terrible story, just terrible. Generic sci-fi art style. I'm not too much into this sci-fi games.    … Expand

    First off don't listen to the majority of the critics reviews for this game, they clearly have not played more than a couple of hours if any.

    As a player of 1200+ hours, having completed all the content of the game the two main thought's that come to mind when considering Destiny or Destiny The Taken King are Disappointing and Frustrating. As with all the 'expansions' including this    First off don't listen to the majority of the critics reviews for this game, they clearly have not played more than a couple of hours if any.

    As a player of 1200+ hours, having completed all the content of the game the two main thought's that come to mind when considering Destiny or Destiny The Taken King are Disappointing and Frustrating.

    As with all the 'expansions' including this one I had cleared all the content in less than a week. The only thing that keeps you playing is that they have a random loot system which either gives you no loot at all or more often than not requires you to grind the same content over and over, for example as I write this I have roughly 40 or more clears of the current raid and yet I have received only 2 helms out of 40+ chances.

    With this expansion they have introduced Light levels which make you stronger so with gear perks when doing any content you are looking at triple random rolls on any loot you get. Firstly will it drop the item you need, second will it be of higher light than your current one and third will it have decent perks on it.

    They removed the option of re-rolling the perks and infusing any lower item with a higher one only transfers 80% of the light level to the new item (70% in the case of an exotic). So if you got a 300 item you liked the look of and with the perks you're looking for you would need probably 1 x 310, 1 x 315 and 1 x 320 items (of the same slot) for infusion in order to use it a maximum.

    I drone on but what this basically amounts to is a huge waste of time.

    The gun play is great and the only real reason to play it beyond 40 hours. However they nerf everything continuously in order to create new meta weapons in order to keep you playing longer collecting the next one and testing your weapons out looking for an advantage.

    I could write a better point by point review but if you really want to know more just visit the Bungie feedback forums.

    Destiny has been compared to a hamster wheel or Skinner box where we are just play testing for them for Destiny 2 or how to rinse the most amount of money out of a gamer.

Bungie is getting desperate. Desperate for play time, desperate for money, and even desperate for new players. Micro transactions, racing (in an fps?), and the worst loot system I have ever been cursed to be a part of.
    There is a pitiful amount of new story missions, maybe 6-8. There are 3 new strikes, and 1 raid. The strikes are good, the raid is fun. But there's not enough to justify $40. Especially because of the following problems.
    The micro-transactions are non-essential, however, they push them sometimes to be essential to keep track of racing times and records. The racing? I'm going to be honest, it's fun. But it's a last ditch effort to save their game until the next wave of "content."
    When they claimed to fix the loot system at the start of The Taken King, back in September, it was broken even more, How can you break something even more than it already is? They put broken RNG inside the already broken RNG! If you so happen to get the loot you want to drop (RNG #1), you then have to look at what level that gear is (RNG #2)! That is broken. You might get those boots you wanted, but oh! They're only level 304, and you needed at least level 306. These things ruin the game for me. I am aware that it is a grindy game. You have to grind to level your character. But when you can go weeks without getting anything to drop, and then have it finally drop for you, and not be high enough level, it pisses you off to no end.
    The gun system is the worst I've ever seen. There are 3-5 archetypes for all of the guns, ranging from low impact high rate of fire, to high impact low rate of fire. There is NO DIVERSITY. Not to mention some exotics are dominating factors in PvP before getting heavily nerfed, and a new exotic taking its place.
    Bungie has ruined an amazing opportunity to make Destiny a great game. They did this, mostly by breaking the loot system. It really is disappointing. I had more faith in them, but it was all for naught. They have left me leaving the game for good, and never looking back. I would not recommend sticking it out with Bungie. Even when you think it can't get any worse, it manages to do so. I give it a 2/10, by the skin of its teeth.    … Expand

    Destiny is a great shooter, it handles well and the gunplay is probably some of the best to be found. But that's to be expected given Bungie's history. It also looks good and has a good musical score.

    Modelled as an FPS MMO hybrid, where it fell a little flat for me is on the PVE side. The story is fragmented at best and the expansion story is over pretty fast. There are a number of instances and "hard modes", but unfortunately for the raids there is no matchmaking system and no clan support in game. Which makes it tedious for the casual or average gamer to organize or join a 6 man team.

    This unfortunately prevents the game from being a true great, but the potential is definitely there. Bungie is dedicated to the title and a 10 year run has been touted with expansions and sequels, so optimistic the best is yet to come.    … Expand

Work to get rewards is the theme here - no fun allowed. The content is much smaller than it appears at first, and the vast majority of the so-called quests involve repetition of old content. Bungie seems to have a philosophy based on their players not being "good enough" or deserving of rewards. It's no surprise that many players dropped off and joined more rewarding and fun games. Instead of adding new areas to explore or monsters to try your combat skills on, the additional content has thus far consisted of a pointless Halloween grind, a refer-a-friend scheme, and raid challenge modes that micromanage your gameplay in exchange for character upgrades. As for the player community, it is shrinking and becoming insular. Like a big clique, this game is hardly inviting to most players. Exclusion and elitism has been a strong theme in Harold Ryan's and Luke Smith's designs. Other than having great basic gameplay with easy and smooth aiming, agile jumping, and elegant special abilities, this game offers nothing but a laundry list of chores for players if they want to progress. These chores are so menial that Taken King will have you craving the depth and interaction of a simple fetch & return quest in games like Fallout, ESO, and Final Fantasy. The player vs player is run amok with lag switching and/or terrible lag and net code. Matches take a long time to find and player count seems thinner than Modern Warfare 2. Once again, there is also no group finding tools or matchmaking for most of the important activities in the game. This is because quite simply, Luke Smith and the most hardcore fans of the game believe we aren't good enough to actually succeed at the content and that we would potentially ruin their play experience. That adds an absurd layer of extra work that players must do just to even try content. There's many cool weapons to acquire in the game, and it's great to get weekly orders from the gunsmith (although the ranking method is even more inane than bounties with the repetitive test weapon chores) but players will find very little storage space or opportunity to substantially upgrade the attack values of these weapons. Bungie seems to only be in touch with a dwindling and insular community of twitch streamers and their followers. Basically, this game is anything but fun, and Bungie's attitude and development team needs to go for any hopes of improvement.… Expand

I would rate Destiny The Taken King 10/10 based on my analysis and opinion of the game.… Expand

    The taken king expansion basically requires you to grind for hours again to acquire the latest gear in order to reach the highest levels.

    But thats about it, a fair expansion. I like the game mechanics in destiny, the shooting really feels right. The graphics are excellent and sometimes you want to throw a few hours in the crucible putting your skills to test against other players.

    If this is destiny's plan for the next 10 years, then all i can say is good luck. If we can just expect expansions which make you grind heavily, repeating missions over and over again, hoping that the random drop bless you then its going to be an uphill battle for them. Yes there will always be a fan base, and destiny benefited in 2014 since there werent that many major games on ps4 at that time. But now they are going to struggle more with all the big releases coming out. We have already seen witcher 3, metal gear solid, fallout 4, black ops 3 (not a fan but its worthy to note due to its huge fan base and relevance). Soon other games will be out to compete with gamers play time. To name a few uncharted 4, starwars, the division, ghost recon, and many others.

    Brilliant part about it is the price (Legendary edition for under £40), for the price you are getting A LOT of content IF you didn't play year one or own the DLC.

Unfortunately for me I did and also owned the season pass because I'm a sucker to getting everything. The game in this case is incredibly addictive, and definitely up there with the most addictive of games I've ever played. However, Bungie know this and have continued to leech off of its fanbase and definitely not worth the £40 it costs to upgrade from year one. Level caps are very realistic, don't take particularly long to reach and with some lucky RNG could be a higher level in your first week than some people who have been playing since day one.

    The game p**ses on its loyal fanbase, further enhanced with it's new micro-transactions. I'm not one to be anti micro-transaction as they're a choice but having time exclusive dances that require a larger top-up then necessary takes the biscuit. Again this is optional, but is still staring in the eyes of danger and isn't exactly showing a promising future for Bungie's new view on micro-transactions. The game also isn't rewarding in its PVP aspect, constantly rewarding the worst players on teams and still haven't fulfilled their promise since week one of Destiny to clamp down on PVP cheaters, to the level I've never experience on an online game before.

    If you're looking to get addicted to a game and are ultimately a collector this is the perfect game for you. If you're going for a game that feels rewarding and worth putting time into, look elsewhere because this game is just one big grind.    … Expand

    The Legendary Mark system seems quite well balanced, as you can rack up enough currency for a couple of purple items in one week with almost no effort. Add that to the random drops in Strikes and your character progression to around 300 Light level is actually pretty painless.

    The DLC is not perfect though. For one, I still have absolutely no clue what the story is about. No. **** Clue. I do enjoy Nathan Fillion in his best role since Firefly, and the banter with Ghost and Nathan is quite enjoyable.

    Second thing is that there actually is not much of a story to begin with. That is, the main story missions are over in about 2 hours, unless you suck.

    Overall, as a low entry level MMORPG-ish shooter, this game is almost perfect. No real need to make it a second job like WoW, but just kill some time before going to bed. If you want to raid, you'll get to the required level with almost no effort at all.

    I paid for destiny including season pass costing me around 120 bucks so how am I locked out from something I paid for if I don't want to buy the new expansion Taken king? Isn't that illegal I paid for the game to play never was I told that I would have to buy every new expansion or DLC if I wanted to continue to play a game I paid for how are they even allowed to do this? There must be some consumer policy and rights being broken here and I hope activision gets theirs as this is robbery and fraud no doubt about it. They are basically forcing players to have to buy this DLC or expansion in Order to keep playing a game that they already more then paid for enough this is crazy. I should be able to play all of the original content along with other players who don't buy the Taken King expansion that's how it's always been no matter normal game or MMO which destiny isn't by the way as activision has stated many times in interviews that Destiny is not an MMO it just borrows some designs and elements from MMOs but that doesn't make one and either way even if it was even in MMOs this doesn't happen. It's simple you don't buy new expansion then you can only play what you have payed for but with destiny they literally lock u out of content you already paid for in turn ripping the consumer off. Only an idiot would support this kind of tactic and this game if you like getting ripped off then by all means donate to Activision they will gladly take it but if you smarter then most sheep then don't by taken King as it's overpriced to start anyways and while you finally get a lot of what should have already been included in destiny you are basically paying twice and for what's really a 20 dollar expansion at most as while it adds a much needed actual story with cutscenes to game it's only a few hours worth and surely not the amount you should get with a full game which is what they charging you for btw nevermind how much is actually recycled from original game that you are your paying for at a premium price that a full game would cost.

Oh, and all those weapons and armour you worked so hard for are now mostly useless. This game has run its race and it's time to move on.… Expand

    Love this expansion. You'll get the whiners that pick apart the game because bungie didnt do this or that to their liking, which is fine. What is not fine is a **** zero score by most of these people. If you see a zero or one score, you should be able to just ignore it for the most part. They love to hate. This is a great expansion to a great game. 4 million plus play Destiny and enjoy it.Love this expansion.

If they play and don't enjoy it, then why play it? Move along. Insane the hate this game gets. Its only because it is so loved that the hate is so great. It's fell victim to the "hate the most popular ____ in the genre" disease. I have put more hours into Destiny and the Taken King than any other game on my ps4.… Expand

    I had to pay for the past two expansions even thought they're no longer supported. The PvE is much improved, but still very lacking when compared to similar games like Borderlands 2. The PvP is abysmal. There is no matchmaking so you might end up against much better equipped and experienced players.

    In my last review I had forgotten to mention that xurs new item he sells called "3 of coins " is totally rigged.

I tried to give this 3 hour "expansion" another chance but im just so burned out on this game . Bungie is having a hard time managing this game, they try to fix something every week but when they do fix something they ruin 6 other things in the process and not to mention that destiny is unplayable without buying the taken king . this is a secret pay to play subscription , im done with this title ive already sold it and got 9 whole bucks for it! I know 9 dollars is way to generous for destiny , anyway this game is a marketing scam don't buy it , I suggest buying metal gear solid v the phantom pain.. or save your money for fallout 4 which comes out next month , I guarantee you fallout 4 will destroy this repetitive trash of a game called destiny . Another rigged casino made from greed , troll on bungie .… Expand

    I'm with Destiny from beta, Vanilla was amazing annucement of great potential, TTK is great step forward. It's the best moment to start for new players, and to come back for thoose who stopped playing. All bad reviews are so bad mainly because of the price, so are written by year 1 players who can't stand that. For new players the price is great for all content from year one plus TTK.

    No match making so can't get past lvl 40. Lvl 41 strikes are too hard and can't get equipment to get to 41 at lower lvl strikes. No matchmaking for raids so haven't played those either (not even vanilla ones). No matchmaking for missions so have to grind for hours to get op to solo all missions.

    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.
