    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 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.

    Played Year One for months and months, easily justified my money investment over time. That said I'm already loving all of the improvements in TTK. The first mission alone and accompanying cinematics should silence the story naysayers (though it probably won't since people love to complain.) Tons of new content, so much that I'll never get through everything I could do in a week. As aPlayed Year One for months and months, easily justified my money investment over time.

As a long time player I can't help but feel like if they'd called it Destiny 2 I would have believed them butI'm glad they decided to go a little less expensive on us this time. I anticipate I'll play this just as much as the rest of it. Great game. People that are starting now for the same price as the original game are getting an incredible year of growth for the price of one game. I highly recommend giving it a shot.… Expand

    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 BUY THIS PAYWALL

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.

    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]

    Always troubled but brilliant, now simply brilliant, Destiny has undergone an extraordinary change. It still demands your time, but the reward is one of Xbox's most well-rounded games. [Dec 2015, p.67]

    If you’re willing to do the social networking and accept the time commitment that Destiny requires to reach its endgame content, you’ll be treated to the first massively multiplayer online game built around the core of first-person shooter gameplay, a unique entry in the world of video games, and a growing universe where you and your fellow Guardians are all that stand between the Light, humanity’s last hope, and the Darkness that threatens to wipe us out forever.
