£3.99, can't really complain, can you? Worth a purchase if you're yet still to try.
Chances are you'll be bored by level 10 anyway. Although it's probably worth it just for The Crucible.

If you get it and don't like it, CEX are offering £3 cash or if there's a game near you should get £4 cash for it

Heat thanks Buzz but can anyone advise what this is like without playstation plus? Hope it's not as limited as sw battlefront;
PS4: PlayStation®Plus is required to join Fireteams and play some online activities, such as Strikes, the Raid, and the Crucible.

strikes are 3 man dungeons.
raid 6 man content
crucible is pvp.
Destiny Story mode was lack listing. But gunplay was solid like halo 3 so it kept me busy. I hit end game and grew bored instantly.
For £4 it could keep ya busy for a while.

When I bought this used previously and then installed it, it automatically upgraded me to the taken king version. Not sure how but might be good for others if they are doing this for everyone.

Decent game, but it has a few issues. 1) The storyline is incoherent, I completed it without actually learning why or what happened. 2) Raids are the only way to get 335 gear (so I'm told, I'm at 319) and basically all the light 335 players are douchbags who won't let you get involved. The Raids are quite complicated and require a 6 man fireteam to complete, so first timers need a team that is a little patient, but by now, everyone is doing speedruns. You have to search external websites for fireteam members as well which is a pain. There is an expansion coming out in Autumn/Winter which will make this deal useful, but personally, after over 30 hours, ultimately getting involved in this game is kinda pointless.

1. Agreed but nonetheless still provides a big campaign to get through.
2a. Yes, raids will reward top gear. Kings fall raid or (like I did) challenge of elders runs.
2b. Not all 335 light levels are douchebags. I'm 335 and use to actively look to help players with lower light levels.
2c. Challenge of elders is 3-man, so you'd only need to find 2 others - it made life a lot easier. Also, no need to search external websites as PS4 communities lists plenty of destiny groups where like-minded players can join and ask for help.
2d. In the original destiny I too gave up after roughly 30 hours and I took a break from it till dec'15 where I picked up Taken King and seriously has had me on for about 6 months with all the content to date.
Don't get me wrong I've had my fair share of douchebaggary too from little kids who end up crying and messing up your raid to me getting booted out of fireteams as they found a player with a higher light level. At the same time I've also found highly experienced players who are happy and patient to shepherd you through raids and other people who are same age, can have a laugh but also just want to advance the game.
I haven't touched the game for about a month now, partly due to mgs v but mostly due to me feeling I've done everything in terms of end game. But, if anyone wants any help, PM me

Raids aren't the only way to get 335 gear, you can get up to 330 from a variety of activities (nightfall, vanguard/crucible/faction/gunsmith rank ups, Heroic strikes) and you can hit max light level through Challenge of Elders and Iron Banner relatively easily.
I don't know where you were looking for raid groups but clearly not the right place, there are sites with dedicated 'sherpas' to help people through the raids for the first time and even recently, I've still seen plenty groups wanting help to get first timers though the raid which this '335 douche' regularly joined to give people a hand. Yes, there are a lot of people wanting experienced groups only particularly this late in the TTK's cycle but it's not unreasonable - taking first timers through the raid takes a good few hours and a lot of patience whereas as an experienced group will get through it quickly.
It's worth pointing out you're basically only getting a demo for your £4 - Bungie locked out most content if you don't have Taken King so you can do the original stories, the low level strikes, the original raid (which few people play these days) but none of the current end game content.

25 Jul 161#12
alright I take it back - I'm sure not "All" 335 are douchbags, but let me put it this way, I spent best part of 3 weeks looking for a team to do the first raid (level 20? where you start off by holding the 3 shield things from the vex) I never found anyone who wasn't asking for "experienced players only" or "min light 320" or "serious players only" I gave up and stopped playing the game. Actually I'll say we, because me and the missus both play it together, so any fireteam would have got 2 guardians right off the bat (we did Challenge of Elders in the end for gear). Those people will be sad when they've got noone to do Raids with as people stop playing. It's annoying. I may checkout the PS4 communities which I didn't know about, thanks but I've decided to replay the mass effect series on PC now as renegade instead. Destiny is collecting dust.
Anyone who hasn't played don't let me put you off, the single player missions are entertaining, MUCH better if you have a mate to play along with you like I did. for £4 it's worth it if your scratching around for a new game to play -I voted hot.

I'd highly recommend the100.io it lets you set up games way in advance and get people together. Not sure how busy it is at the moment but I'm sure people will jump back in when the new expansion drops, as it did when Taken King came out. You can still get people to run old content as it still holds up really well and the Vault of Glass raid should definitely be experienced if you're into co-op gaming.

This is not correct, you can get 335 light items from Raids, Challenge of Elders, Iron Banner, Trials of Osiris.
You can get 330 from strikes, nightfall, faction rank up etc.

I have the taken king edition sitting on the shelf at home any point in starting this now? I have maybe an hour during the week to play can i get the relevant daily activities done in this time or should i just leave it on the shelf?
dunc360 to Chr1sOfTheDe4d
25 Jul 16#19
1 hour is not a lot of time to get the daily quests and strikes etc done so I would only bother if you don't mind just exploring and progressing the story a bit at a time.
The gunplay is superb - but as others have said the story is pretty incomprehensible. I would give it a punt if you are into sci-fi shooters... think halo gunplay vs borderlands looting and exploration. That's as close as I can get for a suitable genre

The story is extremely short then it's very very repetitive. I enjoyed the story missions, shame they only lasted a couple of days even with taken king edition.

Prob my GOTY since Sept 2015, spent hours and hours playing it.
Once you get a good group of friends on it, you will find it very hard to put it down.
And the vanilla game still have some amazing content, and the best Raid in the entire game.

Started playing the Taken King edition over last week, big Halo fan but Destiny feels like big budget free to play game. Story is incoherent and gameplay repetitive. Worth a punt for a few quid but isn't very special.

I disagree - Vanilla now has less content than it did at launch (which wasn't that much once you remove the tedious grinding) since certain game modes like strikes/iron banner/crucible playlists got walled off behind all the DLC. I agree the Raid is still the best one though.
Basically you're better off getting TTK package (or potentially waiting on the new SKUs to drop) to really get the most out of Destiny. The vanilla package is a glorified demo at this point.

Vanilla version is not worth at all. If you can find the Taken King edition I recommend atleast that one
Jerec
26 Jul 16#35
I disagree with your disagree.
For £4, its worth taking the chance to see if you like the game. You can get the extra DLC on the cheap any where.

26 Jul 16#36
Why waste £4 when there's already a free demo available?. Better to try that and save that £4 to contribute to a TTK package if the person likes it.

£30 vs £4...I know what one I'd choose if I was unsure about the game.

keep donating to factions like dead orbit.u will get 330 then iron banner

not to take the wind out of your sails there but you might want to have a read of this...
I just recieved mine today and It says Legendary Edition - Destiny The Taken King on the box :wink:
It's downloading some 20GB update so will see if it actually is the Taken King or just the bog standard game in the wrong box. Crazy bargain if they made a mistake lol.
