Mass panic over... $15 bucks. Lmfao

2 breakfast sandwiches - $8 bucks Redbull $3.30 Girls coffee $2 Around $4 bucks in gas driving to work. Before 9 am i spent $17.30 by default. This is automatic. By the days end I'll be minimum $35 in. Yet people are complaining they got a bare minimum of 50 hours of entertainment (it will be way more) for $15 bucks? You feel you were OWED a raid? No. I'm sorry to break the news to you, but you aren't OWED anything. In the game, or in life. Take you're imaginary girlfriend to see a movie, two tickets are $25+ all day...for [b]an hour and a half of entertainment[/b] There's a new mode, that every single one of you whining, babbling, cry babies are completely dismissing before you even know what it is. How bout you shut the -blam!- up, man up, grab your balls and stop being such spoiled little self entitled muts to society. [b]EDIT. Alot of comment are pouring in with people saying things like "if I ordered a steak and potatoes, but got no steak I'd be pissed". Of course I would, because I ORDERED that. Video games are not -blam!-ing made a la carte. They are made by companies, pre determined, and we buy them. We don't customize them before purchase.[/b] [b]EDIT 2. Did anyone stop to think maybe bungie is delaying the raid so people don't jump head first into it, and actually get to enjoy all the new, hard worked content first? Just a thought.[/b] [b]EDIT 3 my favorite one of all. This thread generated a ton of response, way more than I expected. What I like is that the vast majority of the responses are level headed people who agree. There is hope.[/b] [b]FINAL EDIT - I see a lot people turning this into my "spending habits are flawed" if I knew what I was doing with money I wouldn't buy the game type of thread. I hate to burst everyone's bubble, but spending habits and budgeting are RELATIVE to what you earn. Video games like any other leisure are an EARNED RIGHT. I'm 31 now, and from 18 to about 26 I didn't even own a gaming console. Growing up when I lived home with mommy and daddy and did, because it didn't matter. Once I got priorities in order,in put games down for almost 8 years. Now at 31, I've set myself up with a years of hard work that I can sit back and enjoy my leisures comfortably. If i gamed as much in my 20's as I've been in the past 3 months I probably would have lost my job eventually. $30 a day on misc items may be a lot to some people, and I respect that, nor do I look down on you for it. I happen to do well for myself, not because of luck or having things handed to me...but because I busted my ass and made tons of sacrafices. So no, my 20 to 30 bucks daily wasn't the point of this thread. The point was if you had any respect for work, man hours, and a dollar, you'd understand that 15-20 bucks for the content that you're getting is WELL WORTH IT. Don't give "bungie promised me" bs either. Don't be mad at bungie for believing an unofficial leak.[/b]

  • You see, comparing games to other objects is like comparing apples to oranges. "Oh dude you played 666 hours, and divide that by $60 gets you 11.1 hours of entertainment per dollar. Dood dats da best deal in da werld". Yea, notice how many games can easily compare, and good games can easily overcome this number. I've been playing skyrim since it released. I've alotted well over 4,000 hours on it. For a measly $60 WITHOUT any dlc. And I've never gotten bored, nor has it gotten repetitive. Destiny has already prolonged it's stage of "fun" and entered the grinding stage. Yea, 666 hours but 80% of that is spent groaning and moaning and praying to satan that you get the gjallahorn. The DLC has barely enough content to be sold at $5, let alone $15. I'd rather get the DLC and 5 days worth of dunkin donuts coffee because it is a more efficient way of spending money. Look at borderlands 2, the headhunter packs are tiny dlc compared to their actual dlc, but they are comparable to the TDB and most likely HoW dlc content wise. Guess what? The headhunter packs were only $2, and they were glitched up or anything. "Oh dood, git a jub. $15 is nuthing". Uh, sure, pal. destiny game ($60) plus (Xbox $60) or (psn $50) plus 2 dlc ($30) and comet (estimated at $60) adds up to $200-$210 per year if they continue this trend. Seeing as how destiny 2 will be next gen, old gen users will have to spend an additional $300 for the console. All for what? Glitchy or delayed raids, sparce amount of strikes, useless story missions with no story, repeated iron banner events, annoying nerfing and buffing of guns, crap exotics (NLB, DB, 4HM, arachnid), everyone being sooo "unique" with the same raid gear, soloable nightfall and heroics. $200 is sure as hell not worth this.
