Destiny: The Taken KingWhile some might argue that Destiny: The Taken King is an expansion and shouldn't be included in Game of the Year lists, I'd argue its affect on the core experience might as well make it a new release (also it was sold in a box at a retail price...) Really, it's that[...]
My appreciation and adoration for Destiny is well documented on the internet. My displeasure when micro-transactions also entered the game is also well covered as well though. …and things just got a little more worrisome. As pointed out by Reddit, you can now buy level 25 characters in the game. This was a feature of the […]
Destiny's King's Fall raid has already seen a 'Hard mode' added to give those who play it over and over again a new challenge. However, yet more challenges await still. In Bungie's Weekly Update it was announced that the Raid would be getting weekly challenges added to it soon to make certain bosses harder to […]
Adam Cook writes for Bleeding Cool… Fans of Destiny: this one is for you. Do you have friends who don't play Destiny? Do you wish they would play Destiny? Well, according to an update on Bungie's blog, "Refer-a-Friend" is coming soon. Maybe you have a friend who will be getting Destiny as a gift this […]
This only trailed to Destiny: The Taken King itself.That's pretty crazy going Destiny has an incredibly active user base and it shows that they certainly were ready for this change of adding cosmetic micro-transactions Lets see how this progresses from here That's really going to be key.While I have made my reservations of the[...]
The Oryx fight at the end of the Destiny's King's Fall raid is a rather tough proposition for six players. It's designed specifically with six players in mind, and even then, a ton of groups fail the final fight. Well, The Legend Himself and A Death Card have put everyone to shame by doing it as a […]
However, creative director on Destiny: the Taken King Luke Smith has taken to Twitter address these concerns:We aren't (nor are we planning) on selling consumables that buff King's Fall drop rates for Silver.
— Luke Smith (@thislukesmith) October 14, 2015However, there are still concerns about the future of where this could lead, as 'consumables' are referenced[...]
I've long talked about my love for Destiny. As some one who has put 100s of hours into the game, I especially admire the work Bungie did with The Taken King. I'm genuinely excited about how the future will shape up. This new post on the Bungie website has left me concerned though. The post, once distilled, […]
Destiny has a huge universe with more aliens to shoot than you can fathom. However, as the game has progressed, one thing I've found interesting is the new 'big bads' that have emerged. First we had the vague Darkness, then the Hive god Crota and now, Oryx, Crota's dad (so I guess dad-god?), has been and […]
Destiny: The Taken King certainly rectifies a lot of that.First off, yes The Taken King has a story Like, an honest to goodness narratively driven story It's nothing groundbreaking in the grand history of fictional scripture, but it is a fun AAA romp The campaign has you going up against Oryx, a near god from[...]
Every time a new raid comes out in Destiny, there is a race on for the most hardcore to beat it first. The whose who of Guardians party up and try to become the first ever team to clear the Raid. It's one of the highest achievements in the game, that only the most elite […]
I've been playing Destiny: The Taken King since its release on Tuesday I'm a big fan of the changes it brings, and the way it seems to have rejuvenated the community.It seems people really have come back to the title too Activision have revealed some impressive record breaking milestones the game hit on Day One[...]
I've spent all morning playing through The Taken King, and I'l reserve my opinions until I can do a proper review. One thing that is worth a highlight though, is the expansion's soundtrack. It is different from 'vanilla' Destiny, but plays with new ideas in a musical sense. I'm really into it. As I said […]
The Taken King is upon us, and with that, those of us who play will be taking all of our guardians into the depths of the Orxy's Dreadnaught to take him on. I'm pretty excited, I must say. To help promote the game, Bungie have released this neat little trailer, which takes your stats and […]
The Taken King is just two days away, and I'm very excited to see what Bungie have done with the game. The new story content, weapons and more will be likely keep Destiny players locked in for a while. One of the big new additions will undoubtedly be the new raid, King's Fall. Traditionally raids […]
The Destiny soundtrack from last year had moments of pure brilliance on it. I staunchly believe that it had some of the best work by Marty O'Donnell to date and may contain some of my favorite sci-fi music in years. Obviously, due to recent events, he isn't back to score The Taken King sadly. None […]
I see how it works the other way round all the time, but catching glimpses of huge US titles hitting Japan shores is rarer.Well, if this Destiny: The Taken King advert is anything to go by, it can get pretty intense I don't really know how big the Japanese Destiny community is, but I assume,[...]
The Taken King is just around the corner, and as long time readers might know, I'm pretty excited about it. You don't have to wait until September 15th to get a taste though. If you own a copy of Destiny, perhaps log in next week. As revealed on the Bungie's Weekly Update, starting September 8th and […]
Well, this is interesting.Last night, after it being teased for the last three weeks, we finally got a look at the equipable sword in Destiny: The Taken King While the Sword of Crota has been in the game since the start, this will be the first time you'll be able to run around with a[...]
Alright, crisis adverted. There was a bit of a stink brewing on the internet about the new raid in Destiny launching after the Taken King's release. I said at the time, if it was only a week or two dely, then it would be fine, but as it turns out, it won't even be that […]
