Destiny: The Dark Below DLC Review – Game Insider

If you do not like Destiny then this will not change anything, but if you like Destiny this will give you new things to see and new items to acquire and upgrade. When thinking about DLC it is hard not to compare this to content rich DLC of mainly single player games like Borderlands, Far Cry Blood Dragon, or Infamous Festival of Blood.

8/10 my balls...
If there was twice as much content, then 7/10 wouldn't be unreasonable, but 8/10 for this rip-off?

BAH!

Do you play it?

I do and i agree with you btw. Just wondering if you've spent time with it or not.

[poppinslops]

I have it, but I no longer play it... Not enough content.

You must not played to say something that dumb.

Personally I like it overall.

There are gripes, but I feel most complaints are unwarranted.

1. Not enough content.

This DLC offers more content than most DLC for other games that just give you a few multiplayer maps and maybe some new guns. Those usually cost 10-15 bucks.

2. Having to upgrade weapons a 2nd time.

Most games like this that let u gain weapons randomally (Diablo as an example) justcome out with new weapons and armor and make you say "to hell with my old gear". At least with Destiny you have the opportunity to continue using your favorite gear.

3. Story telling.

Even though the story is easily the weakest part of Destiny, The Dark Below at least expanded on some things. It may not have done this with cutscenes, but it definitely answered what the Hive are and what Crota is. It also answered the question of what Rasputin is, which is something that the core game kept mentioning but never explained. So sure, the core game should have explained these things, but at least the Dark Below added some explanations to some questions that were left hanging. Even though it wasn't done with cutscenes, thats still a step in the right direction.

1. You're just trying to justify there not being enough content.

2. You clearly don't play Diablo or are a casual fan at best.

3. You're now apologizing for the game while attempting to justify, pathetic.

Dark Below is a nice addition but should have been part of the main game or FREE. $20 for 3 maps a few guns and couple of missions is worse IMO.

Only reason I got the season pass is cause a friend bought me the game and I was able to save a few extra bucks during a PSN sale.

If I bought the main game myself I would have felt very let down overall and especially with the first DLC "expansion". I may have still bitten the bullet and got the DLC to play with friends and keep up but I would not have been praising it as a good value.

1. No. I never said Destiny isn't lacking in content. I'm talking about the DLC only, and when compared to other games, it does have more content. CoD, BF4, Halo....none of those put out DLC with more content. Thats not an opinion. Its a fact.

2. I've been playing Diablo since the original, thank you.

3. I didn't apologize for anything. In fact I said that Destiny did not handle the story correctly in the core game, but at least this is a step in the right direction by answering questions.

4. Do you have a tough time with reading comprehension? Or do you just make your own assumptions when someone says something you don't agree with? Because your 3rd point was accusing me of something I never said.
