@jayasha: I understand why remasters have become so popular to publishers and developers. They want a way to get people back into the series and hype them up for the new one. It's also a way to give something to the fans to keep them engaged for the time being as well as hopefully bring some new gamers in who may have not played it when it originally came out. However, this series is a blast but this remaster wasn't definitely done through and through, still very fun and somewhat of an upgrade graphically, but not inline with what you would expect. They also didn't do much marketing with it at all.
@Mogan: Thats all well and good, however a game that is gimped in the content department should have a good amount of content FIRST, before introducing something such as this. That's my whole issue with Bungie doing this to begin with. I don't have an issue with miscrotransactions. However, if developers are going to gimp the main game experience or not have a good amount of content and then try to make up with it by introducing this crap it will be a complete rip off.
@ricku1967: I dont have an issue with micro transactions either. I guess my main point to all of this is a game like Destiny has a major problem with lack of content. With that being said, wouldn't it make sense to figure a way to get more content in the game instead of in the form of micro transactions. It just make them look bad in my opinion. You can't just give us more content or added features? But you can do it in a form of micro transactions? I don't know, I just feel that is ridiculous.
@Mogan: Customization is just a piece of content within a game. Something for you to do to your UNIQUE character. However, Bungie doesn't offer any of that whatsoever within Destiny. You are not UNIQUE in any way shape or form. Hell you can't change your character's colors on your own, you have to grind for shaders and that is a color that is predefined for you. And to top it all off they are hideous colors at best. My main point to this was that Bungie did an awful job in providing any form of substance to this game. I mean even though they made vast improvements with this recent DLC it falls back on to its own ways after the main story missions. You find yourself not doing anything different that you have done for the past year. Dances? I mean as fun and cool as they are to do after beating a strike raid or what have you, simply adding more dances to the game for you to purchase is insane in of itself and really doesnt add anything more at all to the experience.
@ricku1967: I don't care if it is emotes or not, it's the principle. This game still after a year still lacks greatly in many areas when it comes to content. Their way of adding content by having to purchase it is asinine. I'm not saying that it is bad what they are doing, just ridiculous. If this game didn't require me to grind for 100 hours just to get a good looking shader than maybe I wouldnt be so critical of it.. Their thought process on how to add content has been subpar at best. I'm enjoying the improvements they have made and give them credit for listening to the Destiny community, however the thought process behind how they have designd this game is mind boggling at best.
The thing that pisses me off about this is that this game is lacking in so many areas such as customization and what have you. For them to now charge you to get these basic things that should already be part of a game that you have spent well over hundreds of dollars for is a joke. I don't have a problem with microtransactions if they are extra things to add to the experience. However, for stuff that they will be selling is pure crap.
Social shooters can be outstanding if done properly. But if we get limited content then you end up with a repetitive lack luster game such as what destiny is. One thing you can't say about ubisoft is that they lack content within their games.
@jayjay444 @xscrapzx @ninjcactus101 Well you can't sit there and say there is nothing to do when there is plenty. I don't know what people were expecting or wanting. Sure, is you want to get on the story, OK, I can understand maybe the confusion of what is going on and how they explain it. BUT, it doesn't deserve a 6. Thats ridiculous. Yet, a game like Call of Duty, the Madden of shooters, which hasn't changed at all, here sits with 2 points higher. Its crazy.
