Destiny – House of Wolves DLC, Should You be Excited?

Bungie will drop Destiny's newest expansion 'House of Wolves' on May 19th, the question is, should you be excited?

FamilyGuy3271d ago (Edited 3271d ago )

gtfo, I'm excited. Can't wait, I've even been building my reputation in crucible, vanguard and crypto so I can get those new reputation level packages rewards right after it drops and hopefully get a bunch of new stuff.

Just started playing again so yea, but I still am catching up on the last dlc as well.

3-4-53270d ago

How can anyone disagree with that?

As if they know my playing habits.

Weird world we live in.

KingKelloggTheWH3271d ago

I just can't make myself care. After all the nerfing I just got tired of the game, I dont want to grind anymore. It is just frustrating.

NovasRevenge3271d ago

no new raid was the biggest mistake they made with this dlc. instead we get a glorified horde mode. so NO im not excited BUT if raids were too hard for you and you like mindless boring no skill or thought requirement horde modes then yeah you should be excited.

FamilyGuy3271d ago

Horde mode with objectives and bosses, not to mention that the level 35 version has yet to be seen and will likely hold some surprises.

The elimination mode seems pretty interesting too, if you're a competitive person.

MysticStrummer3271d ago

Ah yes the old "if you disagree with me you must suck" approach.

OT - If you still enjoy the game as many do, then yes you should be excited.

bananaboats3271d ago

It gives me more stuff to so I'm happy

DOSemp3271d ago

regretted for purchasing the digital version

Destiny Made Over $160 Million In Microtransaction Revenue In Less Than 2 Years

Destiny has made over $160 million in MTX revenue, and these numbers only account the data from late 2017 to early 2019.

Sgt_Slaughter333d ago

That's extremely low for microtransactions, especially for a game that's essentially designed around it

LucasRuinedChildhood333d ago (Edited 333d ago )

This was back when the game wasn't free to play.

The figures are from November 2017 to February 2019 (1 year and 4 months).

Based on that projection, the MTX revenue for Destiny 2 likely would have been closer to ~$240m for 2 years.

Not sure if premium expansions are included in that figure either although ... I'd hope that they are though and that most of the revenue was for actual content like Forsaken.

People spend way too much money on cosmetics.

Rude-ro333d ago (Edited 333d ago )

Seasons($10 and just got bumped to $12) and dungeon keys($10 each, two a year) are through the eververse(micro transaction) store.
So for those two years, in order to play a season, you would pay through micro transactions.

Bungie Marathon will be worse since it's designed around it as well

Kurt Russell332d ago

It makes me sad to agree... but at the same time I am looking forward to giving it a go. Destiny 2 is so far in, I find it difficult to figure out what I am meant to do first.

buffig333d ago

I think FIFA alone makes over $1bn a year from mtx

anast333d ago

FIFA promotes a worldwide sport. It should make more money than destiny.

CantThinkOfAUsername333d ago (Edited 333d ago )

Let's compare something similar. Apex Legends and its ridiculous $18/$40 skins make EA a billion each year.

z2g333d ago

For as much as ppl complain how much they hate microtransactions, they sure don’t act like it. No wonder they aren’t going anywhere.

spicelicka333d ago

By "people" you're referring to millions and millions of people. Obviously the ones complaining aren't necessarily the same as the ones spending all that money.

There's millions that purchase MTX and there's nothing we can do about it

I've been thinking about playing through D1 again before it goes away...

CobraKai484d ago

That’s the sad reality of a game like this. I bought it, invested lots of money, and it can go away at anytime. I still think this was more fun than 2.

jeromeface483d ago

prob because 2 is a grindfest slog

spoonard480d ago

That's the bummer of 'games as a service'.
