    After the third expansion Destiny is the same “random loot generator” it has always been, just with some more story in between. [12/2015, p.62]

    There’s also a wisp of a coherent narrative in The Taken King, though it’s buried deep under an avalanche of sci-fi mumbo jumbo. But maybe that’s okay.

    Over hyped garbage, everything is rehashed and a money grab just like the other DLC's except this one costs TWICE as much. Why is this DLCOver hyped garbage, everything is rehashed and a money grab just like the other DLC's except this one costs TWICE as much. Why is this DLC even 20$ extra dollars when it doesn't even add more content than the previous DLC's? Bungie has went from my favorite video game devs to my most hated ever since Destiny happened.

    *Don't buy this DLC unless you like playing a gambling simulator for gear that doesn't even matter. Where is the end game? Save your money and just buy a BETTER game.*    … Full Review »

    DON'T BUY THIS PAYWALL

    long live the pay wall of the taken king. You play destiny now without TTK. year 1 content is group together in one    DON'T BUY THIS PAYWALL

    long live the pay wall of the taken king. You play destiny now without TTK. year 1 content is group together in one spot in a VERY limited fashion like a KFC mashed potato/corn/chicken bite bowl. ONE vendor will sell you year 1 items. but will only sell you a grand total of FOUR items. While TTK is littered across the game locked away with a big red lock of you don't have this, give me money. want to raid at max character level of year 1, nope locked away behind a paywall. want play missions on hard mode for a level 34 character, nope behind a paywall.

    ...not to mention pvp is no longer select your mode of choice. It is now a game of wheel of fortune.

    3v3 competitive

    none of which is a mode select    … Full Review »
