Is it a good time to pick up Destiny ?

[D.Va]

Hey guys,

So I decided to pick up Destiny with a couple of friends of mine, but I have 2 problems.

1. I don't own an Xbox One( what they play on)
2. I heard Destiny 2 is coming in 2017

As of now I'm pushing my final year of school so I don't have much time to play, so I'm picking it up next year after I graduate. Considering buying the Elite XBone with Destiny.

Is it a good idea to buy Destiny then (around March 2017), or should I just wait for the next game ? I don't know if there's still paid DLC coming out as well.

I heard it's complete shit without the DLC. If a game needs DLC to be good, it's basically a bad game. Skip it.

Skip it, not worth it

Destiny is a quagmire of soul-devouring misery; avoid if possible.

I actually meant to buy the TTK edition of the game, but even then.... I don't know if they are putting out more DLCs for the game :/

Er.... Ok.... Is it because of grinding ? I'm actually ok with playing a grindy game, those are some of my favourites tbh :/

I mean, I'd never play a game that needs DLC to be good. To me it's like a singer who's only good with autotune.

Debatable tbh, but let's not derail this thread.

From what I've heard Destiny has improved by a lot since TTK as well as some patch in April. It seems like a good time to go in, except I'll be going in rather late.

The community for the game is pretty blah. If you don't have this or this or this weapon or know how to run a certain raid (even if you've never done it), people don't want you in their fireteam. And, when I stopped playing, there were STILL game modes that simply didn't have matchmaking. My friend would always have to go off-site in order to find people that might possibly want to go sit on a certain leg of a raid at length in hopes of maybe getting one particular drop. He ran Crota's End twenty plus times before he got what he really wanted.

Bungie is also obsessed with "balancing" the game and constantly nerf things simply because they're semi-decent or popular with the players. OR, worse yet, because the people who favor pvp complained that they were getting killed by it.

They've introduced microtransactions into the game. I believe there might be some pay-to-win, but the most egregious thing of all is the overpriced and ultimately worthless emotes you're expected to buy. Ridiculous.

There are a number of bugs that negatively affect game play, and there are bugs that actually benefit players. In many cases, Bungie has been unwilling to focus on the former and quick to fix the latter.

Yes, it's grindy. It's grindy AND they place caps on everything. So even if you're all for the grind, you can't do it as much as you might like. The bounties get boring SO quickly; I must have "awakened The Hive..." I can't even say how many times! xD Though at least cut scenes are finally skip-able now. Yes: Cut scenes were not skip-able until "The Taken King."

I spent, over time and in total, $140 on Destiny (base game, The Dark Below, House of Wolves, and The Taken King). People who waited for "The Taken King" only had to pay a fraction of that. Oh, and everything I had that packed any sort of punch was rendered worthless when TTK arrived.

I'm actually set on getting it probably end of this year, so....

Well my mind is set :/
