Great price. Slightly cheaper in the eBay deals yesterday, but still :)

If you're into extreme repetition, then this game is for you.

PvP is the weakest part of this game IMO but that why it has a broad appeal - it suits a variety of gaming tastes...
I've put soooo many hours into this game and the previous 2 expansions but I'm still bitterly upset at the pricing of the DLC alone - £40 for 1 add-on to the faithful who have already paid £80 when noobies get the game plus all 3 add-ons for £30...? Great for newcomers but a massive kick in the happy sack to their loyal fanbase :disappointed:
Disgusting behaviour and I won't give them any more of my cash, despite this being a great deal (heated) :man:

Man this thing is dropping in price quickly. Is it bad? I want to try it but here mixed views

best game ever... Don't know why people say about the repetiveness... story mode lasts at least 10 hours now with all the content included and then you have crucible with quite a few maps, strikes, patrols, arenas, raids! if all of that isn't worth £30 I don't know what is. up to you if you wanna be repetitive after you've completed it all to upgrade characters, personally I just like playing PvP now

nope. It's just that it is an expansion. They always drop quickly as the existing players buy on launch so the demand is only for new players. Throw in its on a next gen console which still have a relatively small player Base compared to previous generations and yeah, this happens

I think its well worth it, its so much better than just the base game

Just Play Warframe! If you can get into that you should like Destiny, however Warframe offers way cooler guns and better special powers on charitors. Warframe is free and everything can be unlocked witout paying for it! The game also gets contiunuous updates which really improves the story line and play ability.
I started play Warframe on PC when it was beta and have now just started playing on PS4 and it is really well done now. The game is fast placed which makes the repitition easier to cope with over Destiny.

Completely agree, I've played about 10-15 hours which is more than you expect from most games these days and I'm yet to hit any repetitiveness. I love it personally.

this game is marmite on a disc... I bought and sold this game within 3 days, I'd advise you try before you buy

The Taken King expansion makes it better but it is still very much Rinse and repeat. I like it but you need to put lots of hours into it to get the most out of it which for me is too much especially with the games coming out over the next few months.

PvP is excellent but after story its a bore, the raids never kept me interested and took too long and too much walking/jumping about to get a chest! Yet to try Taken King but refuse to buy the entire game again when I already own the Collectors edition!!

I second this - considering the season pass got you two pretty subpar "expansions" im never getting a season pass or giving bungie any money ever again...

While I completely understand, this has been happening for many many years with games that require expansion packs. I used to play WoW and paid the full £30-40 for the expansions on release day and through the years they've offered 50-90% off the entire collection (£18 was their latest offer for all expansions, where as I paid up to £150+), how else would they entice new players to the game?
If anything, you should be thankful, how many people would want to play Destiny if they had to go and outright buy 2 games and a season pass? Not many, if any at all.. You're gaining new people to play with all the time because of their generous offer.
On topic; It's a pretty **** poor game overall and they're milking the crap out of it.

People moaning about the game. This edition in the series is hitting high review marks. Not every game is for you. I personally have 180 hours on record with the game and still play it daily. It's up to you how you want to play the game.

Got this last week and really enjoying it. I suspect I wouldn't have enjoyed it as an earlier adopter. When destiny 2 comes out I will probably wait for a GOTY edition again.

I get that they need to entice new players... but not alienate their existing ones... the price of 1 add-on pack should always be less than a collection of all of them and the base game.

Im all in for Crucible but having played WoW and refusing to pay their ridiculous prices to thats why I know the raids are poor and not enough going on, too much wandering around to be called a raid its more of an exploration like LOTR style.
I agree about the pricing screwed us over.big time give the newbies everything where as us year one guys have no deal.although i know year one. Guys who caved in and gave them the money they wanted

Just my opinion, but the game was, and still is, a ripoff. The expansion packs are (to a large extent) simply adding content that was originally going to be in the first release of the game...

Thanks for posting, heat added.
BUT... just received mine and the code on side is CUSA00568, doesn't this prevent downloads etc? There's also no PS4 seal, just plain.
I remember these codes being important with COD few years back. I'll crack it open and try it anyway and report back!
EDIT, all is fine! Lol - http://www.gamefaqs.com/ps4/704532-destiny/data

I did the psn trial of destiny, I was a halo fan. But whilst playing the trial I found the game very lonely, you have to put a lot of hours into it ranking up and trying to fins people to play with u. I yet to play this with online players because no-one has joined. Except when your at the city where everyone goes to. But they are busy sorting out their gear and higher level. I get mixed emotions from this game as I don't get a lot of hours to invest into the game before things get going. They need to sort out balancing and finding noobs altogether for missions etc so everyone one can enjoy it from the start. Good deal though. But next on my list is rainbow six seige, starwars battlefront.
Good find for people who have a lot of time to put into the game. Well that's only my opinion, everyone's an individual.

The only thing stopping me from buying this is that I have COD on preorder.
I don't want to buy it to find out by the time I start playing, another dlc is out. 20/ expansion or 30 for everything at that time.
Their pricing is silly

Whilst I agree with you on the pricing side, existing players will always have something that money can't buy and that's experience in the game, a mass amount of high level characters or have obtained items that are no longer available to new players who have just signed up.
The unfortunate thing for consoles is that they can't use the same model that they do for PC gaming because it just doesn't work like that, if they released the taken king without the base game, players who have never played the game are very unlikely to go out and buy the base game + all expansions and it could cause confusion for new players. I purchased Destiny on day one and I haven't played it since then and I wouldn't have a clue where to start if I had to manually go out and buy the different expansions, etc.
Saying that, £30 for ALL dlc and expansions is crazy, I can see why existing players are **** off, there should be a £15~ upgrade option for people with the season pass or have previously purchased the other DLC, etc.

This is a great game for people who have never played Destiny yet. With the TTK expansion the game is what should have been released a year ago. Reworked original story alongside a fantastic new story with great voice acting, and in general many improvements.
Still though, find people to play with.

Destiny original, is a good game. Destiny legendary for £30 is probably the best price for a game you will pay/play for a while. If you haven't jumped into the Destiny world just yet, it is a must!

I had the game for a few months now. Only really started playing it last weekend as got the legendary code working now. My brother eats sleeps and lives destiny. I started on level 25 and just reached level 27. I do find myself going round to the same place again and again for different missions. But hopefully the world's change. I'll play it but hopefully won't become an addict.
