Destiny: The Taken King. Like The Lion King, but with less regicide.

    Hmm, I never did finish the, whatever story mission, where you go back to Phobos
    What I assume was the last regular story mission of Taken King
    That boss fight was just such a slog

    Yeah, that's definitely the worst mission in the game, entirely because the boss fight is just 4 different levels of bullshit. It's not a great deal easier even with the increased light levels from the last update.

    Yeah, I needed to get help with it both on the initial time I played it and when I had to go back for the ToM. I'd offer to help myself, but I'm not on the animebox.

    During an earnings call, Activision management shed some further light on Destiny. The company said the 30 million Destiny players are averaging about about >100 hours of play time each.

    Additionally, Activision Publishing executive Eric Hirshberg said Destiny's April update "re-engaged" the Destiny community and was very well received. Overall, engagement is "remarkably strong even after the release of some competitive games in the genre," he said. He also mentioned that, "It's clear fans are hungry for more content than we have been able to create."

    "That passion and loyalty from our fans is something that we don't take for granted," he added. "Which is why we're working side by side with Bungie to make sure that in the future, we're able to deliver a more consistent stream of great content and drive even more engagement."

    Destiny is back, baby

    Also a new strike, a remade old strike, and a bunch of new and returning gear.
    Plus, now infusion works in a way that makes sense.

    I might be back some day.

    I had a blast with this game for like 9 months.

    I never knew just how badly I wanted Bungie Space Fantasy. It actually scratched some of the same itches the Dark Souls games scratch-- playing as an effectively unkillable entity neatly explains all those player character deaths, and it has some deep ass lore.

    I almost bought the legendary Taken King set today but I don't know if Destiny would be impenetrable at this point. Friends, if I got it now, could I successfully penetrate Destiny and enjoy it?

    PS4?

    because use this code if you end up buying it.

    We will get cool stuff if we group together.

    Also I am not super good but I can show you the basics, plus, the G&T thread is a really good resource for more info.

    A more serious answer is that it's probably still super easy to get into. Leveling up is fun still, and the loot grind at the end game has never been easier IMO.

    Ok I'm doing what I said I was going to like two months ago and getting in on this thing, my wife and kids are out of town for a week and I can roll deep until they come back. I'll be hitting the G&T thread for sure but if any of you guys are still around on XBox One and want to shoot some mans (or robots or whatever) I'm tw1tch0rz, I'll be on tonight between 8 and 9.

    Hey homps
    I never did beat Fear's Embrace but I'd like to get it knocked out before Rise of Iron drops
    Would anyone wanna run it tomorrow or Wednesday night with me? Should be pretty quick with just one extra gun

    Rise of Iron is out next week, and every single boss in King's Fall is on Challenge Mode this week in addition to Court of Oryx Tier 3 being on rotation.

    I still haven't done the challenge modes or hard mode so that's my task for the week.

    GG, I'd be down to help with Fear's Embrace, are you on PS4?

    Who's gonna be playing this again on the PS4 with RoI? I've been getting back into it and would love to have actual folks to play with this time, versus attempting to solo raids (which ranged from 'surprisingly effective' to 'hilariously terrible').

    I'm Vsove on PSN.

    I'm still waiting on bungie to ship my dang moment's of triumph shirt.

    Also I'll probably get Rise of Iron a few months in because I'm too busy with WoW right now.

    Okay question

    What the heck are horns?

    Also I was given 200 silver with the game + all expansions bundle I just bought, is that just for cosmetic stuff like emotes? Because there's a totally not Dark Souls "Praise the Sun Light" emote that I am absolutely buying if there isn't a very compelling better use for silver.

    Do some court of oryx. You'll get way too many blue engrams, good way to light level up fast.
