​great game, I haven't played anything else for the last month and I have a massive pile of shame. It's 9am Friday morning and Im currently waiting for Xur to show up!

Excellent, welcome aboard. One piece of advice, you'll get something called a "spark of light" with this edition that basically makes the character of your choosing lvl 25. Don't use it on your first character (trust me, you'll create more) just level them up by playing the content. Use the spark of light on your 2nd or 3rd character, that way you skip some of the replaying content.

Is this you? Cos that person never completed a raid, and at 276 I doubt has run too much end game content: http://destinytracker.com/destiny/player/ps/kos1c

It is: http://www.thegamecollection.net/destiny-the-taken-king-legendary-edition-xbox-one.html

Add to the OP Buzz?

Thanks but ordered the other already. Lost £2 grrr ahh well lol. Already received it so will be giving it a smash later

might help somewhat, seems your order should be safe...

You might have a point there. The taken king was originally a DLC, but i suppose that would rarely just be on disc. I checked amazon and cant find a non-legendary edition on disc.

scouring bungie's site for support seems to show very little;

This reddit seems to be debating it!

The base one shows a pic for legendary edition, but the title doesnt mention it. Dont suppose someone has ordered that and received and can confirm it for me (i know, I'm high maintenance arent i).

I've emailed them, but doubt they'll reply within the next 20 mins

21.95 now

Is this worth getting if I'm offline or should I wait till I'm connected? Also what chance do you think this has of coming get out on ps+ in the next year?

LOL I'm only a student who's just got off his 3 week Christmas holiday (most of which was spent playing Destiny :stuck_out_tongue:). My HUKD username is slightly different from my last post as I don't have a HUKD account - just love this game so much that I was inclined to leave a comment as a guest.

Anyway, I do recommend you give this game a shot. I myself thought it was garbage until I downloaded it off the PS store 3 weeks ago in the recent '12 deals of Christmas' (albeit slightly more expensive than this deal).

I quite enjoyed the first Destiny - Is this much better? More of the same?

I bought it for this price from Simply Games before Christmas. I love the game. I rolled a Hunter and used the level 25 boost. After playing a while from level 25 I felt like I missed so much from the early game, even though I was playing early missions and you do get level relevant loot but there was no challenge. I've got to level 40 and have yet to do the Taken King content and the later content for the other DLCs.

I have now rolled a Titan and started from level 1 and I am enjoying it a lot more than when I boosted to 25. The Titan is a lot better for soloing and there is a greater challenge.

I got this from play just before Xmas and have had such fun on pvp and raids. The lv25 boost is very handy and you are entering dailys and strikes before you know it.

I got 3 codes in the box but only used one. All content unlocked and lv25 boost in character. Anyone else know what the other codes are for?

wouldn't bother rising to this tbh. cant argue with people like that

If you are considering whether or not to buy Destiny, READ ON.

Clearly there are way too many people on here bashing Destiny for being too short or an easy ride. Firstly, yes it is relatively easy to reach the max level but believe me, that is when the real Destiny begins. By real I mean that the gear worth equipping becomes available, you can do strikes, nightfall's and raids (which are all incredibly fun and challenging especially with friends). The game was designed to max out your level quickly because it is not your level that matters but your light - a stat which is the average attack & defence of all your gear. When you head over to online multiplayer, 9 players out of 10 will be level 40 (the max level) but you'll barely meet anyone that complains over this cap. The armor and weapons are split up in to several different classes ranging from uncommon to exotic (the rarest class), but many have the impression the the aim is to 'catch them all'. I say that the aim is to find what works for you and gives you the most fun in PvP and PvE.

New bounties and strikes come out everyday, and every Tuesday brings a new nightfall and a stock refresh of all the vendors across the game. And of course, everyone's favorite - Xur - makes his appearance each Friday. Despite some of the recent comments, a raid CAN NOT be done in 30 minutes, especially with new players - that is ridiculous. Anyone who claims otherwise is either rushing through the raid, taking advantage of shortcuts/glitches etc. or at the very least, unrealistically expects new players to get (often difficult) things right the very first time, many times.

Anyway I have had this game for 3 weeks now and without realizing, it has easily replaced GTA V as my favorite online multiplayer. There is a lot to get used to but once you do, you will have tons of fun.

If anyone else is a newb on PS4 like myself, feel free to add me and we can tackle this together:

My thoughts exactly. Mate you may as well leave him in his delusions - either he's a troll or by 'day' he's referring to a day on Venus or somewhere.

My nonsense?!

"You can do it all in half a day"

Laughable.

In the base game there are 23 known story missions, 8 unknown and 1 mission are the credits. For the strike there are 5 nightfall missions, 6 normal missions, 4 vanguard missions in the base game.

There are another 4 story missions, 2 strikes and a raid in The Dark Below.

Plus another 6 story missions, 2 strikes and Prison of Eldars end game in The House of Wolves.

There are another 8 story missions, 4 strikes and a raid in The Taken King.

So, 49 missions, 14 strikes, 3 Raids and Prison of Eldars in all, without including the Crucible and you can do them all in 12 hours? Absolute nonsense.

yea, being solo for the sections with no respawn makes you think/try harder.. so youll be a better player at the end of it :wink:

...and occasionally rage quit for a few days at a time.

Weeks or months? Forget this. Anyone can go to youtube and watch how long it takes to go through the missions, strikes and raids, nobody with intelligence is believing your nonsense. You can do it all in half a day, other than that is just repeating the same things for grinding.

Yeah I'm getting there, I feel I'd probably enjoy it more multiplayer maybe! One of the mission people said to 'team up for the next mission' too which kinda made me feel like I probably have to.

I want someone else there for the no-respawn sections which - even though I haven't died in one yet - I get too stressed over!

Personally, I got through all 4 games solo, provided you take care to level up appropriately and hold on to decent gear this isn't hard. The end game is where youll benefit from having a fireteam, there are some things you simply cannot solo later on, regardless of level/gear

So you're defining teamwork as one member of the "team" sitting back and watching another member complete a task for them?

And in this case it's the game developer's fault that the person watching doesn't have more to do in the game?

Really, you can throw mud at me all you like, but your argument is completely illogical.

The fact is that it would take a new player to the game weeks, possibly months, to complete all the content, if they don't let other people do it all for them. The fact that it's possible to find out the answers to all the puzzles and best methods to complete all the tasks very quickly from those who have already spent weeks and months perfecting the techniques does not mean there is a lack of content.

Awww guys come on we don't need all this anger about a game...Destiny is a decent enough game and you cant really complain at this price...my copy has turned up today so tonight...it begins...

Do you know what a strawman argument is? Google it. The quick answer is you're wrong. Your argumentative skills are really poor. Your (hyperbolic) argument is basically because teamwork is used in a teamwork based game, it doesn't count as lacking content. Do go on.

So, you're saying that there's a lack of content because people who buy the game now can easily find someone who has already completed it all multiple times over the past year and a half and then let that person tell them exactly what to do, where to go, what equipment to use and when to do it and even step in and complete the puzzles, mazes, problems and most difficult tasks for them when the going gets tough (i.e. 90% of the time)?

That's an interesting argument.

Bought this before Xmas for £22 and it's the most fun I've had in a while. So much content (single player campaign that is, I don't care for PvP), there's a lot of game here. Haven't touched BLOPS3 since picking this up

I've started helping my son's account rank up, and I can assure you, if you try an lfg group for normal Kings Fall, there are a ton of people who don't know what to do.

I have 3 x 318+ characters, I've run hard raids more than I'd like to admit, and I can tell you now, running an ill equipped LFG group through normal is one of the toughest things in the game right now.

lol, people know how to do the raids now, using the first raid when nobody knew what to do is a poor example. Ain't no raid anymore where people don't know what to do. I've carried plenty of noobs through raids, all it takes is the ability to listen.

Poor defence of the lack of content, and telling people to grow up because they telling the truth is irony at its finest.

Well spotted, cheers!

I picked up the base game in Novmber 2014. Yes there is some grinding - thee is no game I've ever played where this isn't true - but there's always something to do and if you actually engage in the community and play 6 player content there's nothing like it. I've paid 10x this and gotten a thousand hours of entertainment from my money. Looking forward to the influx of new players at this price. Bargain of the century!

Bargain.. Thanks

I'm assuming you need a subscription to the playstation network to fully enjoy this for multiplayer/online play? Otherwise without its just single player campaigns?

Yeah, really - so a newbie turns up, having never seen a Raid before and blows through it in 30 minutes? Grow up.:smirk:

The first people to beat the Vault of Glass were a group of world class level players and it took them 10 hours.

http://kotaku.com/meet-the-people-who-beat-destinys-first-massive-raid-1635907715

From a fresh start, there's weeks, probably months, of play time in the Legendary Taken King edition. You cannot even scratch the surface in half a day.

Xbox one out of stock

​if that's the case I'd recommend playing the strike playlists and doing lots of strikes in a row as this gets you better loot. Better still it'll get you lots of strange coins which you can use to buy three of coins which will get you exotics (in my experience usually 2-3 exotics per 7 three of coins) which will be great infusion fuel or just great loot

​I have one at 33 mins... http://destinytracker.com/dg/4351053598
but we are really end game levels tbf

30 to 60 minutes? You've just shown you have no idea.

Show us your Destinytracker.com details of running Kings Fall in less than an hour please.

looks like OOS

out of stock for xbox one

Fair point.
I don't pvp, I don't enjoy it in any game. I tried it back when destiny came out and it was unbalanced. Heard now it's just shotgun teams most of the time.

Raids was something I wanted to try. Getting the gear up for that level has been a slight chore of repetitive gameplay. It's a shame there's no crafting in destiny. I don't mind farming areas for materials to make a piece of armor, something I can do when I'm bored.

Destiny on paper seems to be a washed down version of an mmorpg. It's a solid game, don't get me wrong. But there's a good amount of things missing. And the excitement or addiction to continue playing just didn't grasp me like other mmorpgs have.

Thanks, it feels like a repeat buy but for the extra content seems worth it!

If you can't get through the raids in half a day you must suck at the game. A decent team can blow through them in 30-60 minutes each.

Ordered Friday around 13:00, received now Saturday around 10:00, Royal Mail 1st Class.

Outstanding!

That's laughable - you can't even get through the raids in half a day, let alone the quests for each character.

It's not a bandwagon, is a straight up fact. You can get through all the content in half a day, aside from the content it's just grinding and weekly lockouts.

Weekly lockouts are only featured in games lacking content, is done to stretch what little content there is out, or else people would just get their guns and armour within a week or two.

Once reached max level whic doesn't take very long at all every Tuesday you log in in, do the lockout stuff, then nothing to do until next Tuesday aside from login to see what Xur is selling on Friday.

Thanks mate :smiley:<3

Looks like its out of stock on Xbox One, shame as I would've grabbed it at this price, oh well I'm sure it'll drop again somewhere else soon enough.

Thanks Buzz. Taken!

I think the awful (imo) beta tainted my opinion of Destiny. I'll have to watch some videos to see if they change my mind hah

Do you not think it's a bit out of line to criticise the lack of content in a game when you haven't even played 3 of the biggest parts of it?!

Even if you're good, there's at least 12 hours of some of the best multiplayer content ever released that you haven't experienced. If you're average, several times that amount of play time.

Have you played Trials of Osiris? Iron Banner?

If you make the decision that you only want to play a multiplayer game with your friends and family and then your friends and family don't want to play it, that's hardly the game's fault.

Sounds to me like you're just jumping on the "lack of content" bandwagon.

Do you need the original destiny to play this? or is this both included? Sorry - completely new to next-gen and destiny!

Loved Halo 1-4, Reach and ODST so was naturally interested in this. Stayed away because alot of hate/reviews but heard Bungies improved the f*ck out of it. For £20 with the extra content...tempting to try but idk =/

This game makes me want to strangle my boy......... he's totally addicted, and it does my nut!

Crucible is the best

I've went cold turkey on this for a month now, I'm quite proud of myself...

Thanks for the detailed reply, going to order now.

Is this worth getting for single player gameplay, already have Destiny but are the expansion packs worth it.

Pretty good price! Hot

​try http://www.the100.io

Anyone else able to add to basket for xbox one?

I never really got into the original Destiny, played a few hours but found it a bit repetitive. Is it a much better game with the expansion?

Can't seem to add Xonx One to basket.

Haha you sound like my hubby,he's played this game since day 1,and still continues to play everyday of the week! If he's not on the game he's on the app

I disagee. I'm hardly a fanboy and while I never completed Fallout 3, I never played the first two or New Vegas. So there.

Not touching anything Destiny related ever again. Bungie's forced DLC to make the game playable has put me off them for good. Spent a fortune on the original Destiny collector's edition AND season pass... and now that's worthless? Without The Taken King DLC, Destiny is now unplayable, they could have at least included this WITH the so called "Season Pass" or given it at a discount to Year 1 players, but nope... I refuse to give Bungie any more of my hard earned cash! Plenty of alternatives out there!

What's this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdcLadILhMA&feature=youtu.be&t=1m51s

On a side note, if anybody is interested in strike missions tonight on ps4, pm me

oops thanks

Bought! Heart added...
Been after this since playing the demo

Are the expansions in the form of codes or is all the data on the disk?

but where are the year 2 engrams? :'(

I know a couple of lads that play this one Xbox One & I'm VERY tempted to order this so I can join them!

I bought the original physical version of this. Will this version just let me use this as the disc to play the game with all of the addons and expansion etc or would I need to remove the base game from the PS4 first?

Wow! That's a great price for a lot of game. Think I have paid approx £120 for all of this content as a player since launch. Have had many hours of great gaming out of it though. Heat added!

If repetitive gameplay is what counts for an awesome game, then drop me out, still over priced at this price for me.

I also have no mates that play destiny so have spent my whole time on my lonesome apart from the strikes that allow matchmaking and a fair bit of multiplayer. I've managed to get to light level 291. All my gear is Legendary from drops. Just stick at it.

its a game for fanboys who can't see its an awful game. looks like it was made in 1999 (im talking about fallout)

I currently own the original destiny, been tempted to play again. Is it cheaper to buy this or the expansions?

Never thought I'd see such positivity towards Destiny on the internet outside the Destiny subreddit, good to see people are coming around to the game. Roll on Trials of Osiris tonight!

i havent played anything else since xmas day.
the thing is i got at launch and hated bungie for leaving so much content out.
taken king is defo the complete package but there are still things that annoy me.

i have no mates on it and it stops me playing daily/weekly heroics and raids as no matchmaking so im struggling to get enough light to get to lvl 260.
also i bought a helmet legendary engram and it gave me an artifact which really annoyed me.
apart from matchmaking though its great.(even a LFG tag after name while u running round be better and maybe more people in each server(instance) because when im running around an area and i look on roster it says im the only person on that planet its total bullcrap.

Heat added, i have the basic game, but this was simply too good to miss out on, and i can ttrade in the basic version at CEX towards another game.

I had vanilla destiny and got bored, sold it and came back a couple of months ago to the Taken King.

You could conceivably play this game for hours daily and still feel like you want to play more. I find it very addictive.

Gearing up isn't hard, nor is levelling (once you finish the main quest chain you should easily be max level which takes 20 hours tops).

I now have max level of each class and currently can't decide which to make my main as all are hovering about 280 light and relatively equal gear!

But once you do hit max level you focus on gaining better gear and the lure of this better gear much like other MMOs is what keeps you playing.

I personally don't know anyone else who plays Destiny on my friends list and I haven't done any raids due to time constraints. I used to raid on Warcraft for hours several times a week and it seems much the same in terms of hours spent raiding if that's your thing.

What makes the game so good for me is the gunplay is spot-on. If feels great to control and the way it plays feels perfect.

Even as a solo and matchmaking player like I am, you'll get potentially hundreds of hours out of this game for very little cash these days.

Definitely recommend this version considering they have a ten year plan for the franchise and there's bound to be future sequels.

By far my most played game on the PS4. I'm sure it will be just as good on the One.

this game any good or is it as bad and over rated as fallout4?

Wow very good price, but won't be diving into Destiny again because just way too many games in my backlog...

Thanks Mark :smiley:

Cheers Buzz for posting the thread that allowed Mark to help us all out :smile:

​I only joined destiny with 2 other players. Getting to the raid level isn't really a slow process. It's a tad luck with gear upgrade. One of us is sitting back at 245 ligh while me and my brother are in the 280+ area (that profile has a tester weapon and not my primary).

With match making not being available for raids, it's a slight disappointment. Since there's only 3 of us. My brother has burnt himself out playing the game every moment of each day. So he is against playing atm.

I'm a tad bored waiting on the luck of my friend to gear up and running the same areas for no uogrades has had its toll.

I'm not bashing the game. But even after a week or two playing the end game each night. it's starting to feel a chore and not seeing any new stuff is starting to show.

I'll still jump on the game every so often. But taking my chances of elder scrolls from the psn sale.

Did I ever tell you about that time I was on a TV series? It didn't last long, got cut short.

I'm not questioning your opinion, mine is no more valid than yours. I'm just intrigued to why you never raided? Or reached the level to raid. There are 3 raids in the game, and whilst the loot in Vault of Glass and Crota's End are no longer relevant, those raids are still extremely fun (particularly VoG, CE can be solo'd!) whilst King's Fall is also excellent.

Did the lack of matchmaking put you off? Cos it did for me for a long while, until I discovered the DoD clan, and honestly being part of a 6 man team in the raid is amazing.

I never played WoW, though I know there are a fair few ex players in Destiny.

Ordered , played original Destiny before all the changes so hope its a lot better (even though it was kinda addictive before)

Opinion of content still feels small, doesn't matter*

​That is me.
What content is there in the game that isn't listed.
1-2 raids
4-6 strikes
4 or so heroic strikes
Daily heroic mission
patrols
crucible (ranks, 3v3, 6v6)
racing event that just finished
Bounties


I've been playing for a few weeks and repeated the same strikes, the same bounties, part of the gun Smith quests, heroic dailies with the bugs and all.

The game felt small compared to say world of warcraft. Because I'm not 320 light level, doesn't mean my opinion of content still feels small.

I bought this on Xbox One last week from them, cost me £21 but still a great deal.

PS-This is my 4th time buying Destiny since release!

Put 1800hrs into the game, haven't played in over three months. It isn't what it should have been.

Bought this during the digital sale on psn during December. The game is solid, but content runs out fast. I was planning on a long time spent leveling up. Was shocked it only took a few days to go from level 1 to end game.

The whole buying a boost to level 25 is unneeded it seems.

End game content, with gearing up feels small. Run strikes, do the heroic missions, pvp and work towards the heroic strikes then raids.

After a month, the games going onto the back burner.

Amazing price for a terrific game. Tons of content and really good value too; especially if you've only played vanilla Destiny and none of the DLC.

amazing game for an amazing price for what you get, I paid loads more buying each on launch but cant complain for the silly amount of hours I've played it!

I want to get this, but I have too many unplayed games as it is sadly.

The new version is probably my favourite exotic!

Did you pick up Dragon's Breath? Been waiting for that one!

Part off the reason why I've refrained getting TTK....."wasted" waaay too may hours on Destiny! :laughing:

heat given where heat be worthy

Steady now, isn't the next lot of dlc due next month? Might not look do bargainous then.

I loved this game, though I played it so much post the first DLC that it was overkill and I have not played it since.. Though now I have finished fallout 4, I may have to revisit this...

Excellent, welcome aboard. One piece of advice, you'll get something called a "spark of light" with this edition that basically makes the character of your choosing lvl 25. Don't use it on your first character (trust me, you'll create more) just level them up by playing the content. Use the spark of light on your 2nd or 3rd character, that way you skip some of the replaying content.

Thanks for the reply, you may have convinced me

Is this game worth getting? I wasn't particularly a fan of the halo games and I'm pretty terrible at online fps games. I do like good online Co op when people actually want to play as a team though.

Can you play this game offline or do you always need to be connected to the Internet?

Logged in again last night for my freebie strange coins etc, after not playing for a couple of months.

Thought I'd have a go at one of the House of Wolves missions that I'd got to before just to have another look.

I'd forgotton what a blast Destiny is! Great combat and great fun, ended up spending two hours in it before bedtime.

This is a cracking deal for £20.

This was the price point at which I would bite - thanks OP

I got this from cex for £10 steel book edition plus the game is boring spends more time in loading screens rather than playing the game visually stunning and game play great if you don't mind continuesly waiting zzzźzzzzzzzzzz

such a sweet game. I sold my original destiny on ebay for a tenner too

Been after this for my nephew, thank you

Do these guys have a deal with Activision? Heat for the price but they must be up to their eyeballs in copies of Destiny!

I'm still bitter about this game. Put so many hours into it only for the year two updates to make all of my "hard work" pointless.... but i still love it. Will definitely play the sequel.

Awesome game at an unbelievable price :-)

Great price :smiley:

Thanks mark. A mate of mine was after it sub £20 so he's bought it! :smiley:

Cheers for that man. Totally went unnoticed :smile:

Wish the XB1 version was this price

​We've all been there buddy :smiley:

​bum, really want a primary. Regime, read death or bad juju would have done. Oh well, I have 130 strange coins so I might splash out.

:smile:

This weekend players can spend 23 Strange Coins on the Dragon’s Breath Rocket Launcher.

Hunters can grab the Kucklehead Radar helmet, Titans can pick up the No Backup Plans gauntlets, and Warlocks can purchase the Apotheosis Veil helmet, which all cost 13 coins.

Xur is also selling a Legacy Heavy Weapon Engram for 31 coins.

For this week, Xur – Agent of the Nine can be found across from the Speaker.

This is going to get hot!! Good price many will bite at this price

Good find buzz

Hot!
