    With Rise Of Iron, the game has finally fulfilled that great promise. The problem is it comes two years and hundreds of dollars in additional content later. Sorry, Mr. Ghost, I’m not ready to celebrate the good old days of Destiny quite yet.

    Another Rehashed content DLC. Don't buy into this gambling simulator, it has no longevity as usual and adds nothing meaningful to the gameAnother Rehashed content DLC. Don't buy into this gambling simulator, it has no longevity as usual and adds nothing meaningful to the game just like the other DLC. Nothing new here.… Full Review »

    This is a **** joke man. I jumped on this bad boy this morning, the first mission started to pull me in. The second cut scene...evenThis is a **** joke man. I jumped on this bad boy this morning, the first mission started to pull me in. The second cut scene...even more...Then it's done.

    Gameplay time:
    This is perhaps the shortest expansion for a game of this caliber and for $30? **** that. I was done less than two hours. What the **** do I want to do? Grind for exotics? At least when I am playing Legion, there is so much to do. This is absolute trash. You don't understand, when I finished the game without knowing it was the end...I was **** pissed!

    New Location Hub:
    The new location central hub? Boring. There is a whole section int he back of the room dedicated for the iron legion as a throne, used for nothing but to bang the gongs in a specific order to get an achievement, which you must be in a group of 4 or more. Splicer? More like rehashed characters with a little bit of color. Imagine Grandma's boy where they didn't have time to create new NPC's so the asian suggested changing the color...that's what the **** they did. But if someone says they did but I am not looking close enough then that's the problem. They didn't change them enough to really stick out and feel like a new 'species'.

    Graphics:
    And for being an official NEXT GEN only game, this **** looks straight out of the last days of the previous gen. I mean, it doesn't look bad, but it...........nah **** that, it looks like **** If you zoom out with a sniper, it is the worst.

    Now before anyone else says I am bashing, listen up. Shut the **** up! Before this expansion I had all 3 characters max with all 335 gear. AND in my Vault I had over 30 primaries at 335, 25 335 secondary and 10 heavy. NOT including my 335 armor in the vault as well 36 exotic engrams. And I have the First Curse, Ace of Spades, and am currently running my Chaperone in crucible **** people up. I know my **** I have been playing this game since year 1.

    Don't believe the hype. DO NOT waste your cash on this.    … Full Review »
