![]() ![]() If you have decided to pick up the Legendary Edition of Destiny: The Taken King at retail, you can also elect to pick this up if you want to upgrade into a Collector’s Edition. ![]() If you purchase a stand-alone version of Destiny: The Taken King, or already have, you'll be able to pick up the digital items as soon as they are available. We’re actively working to make the digital content from the Collector’s Edition available in a $20 upgrade bundle (suggested retail price), available on. After Smith's words sparked fan fire (fueled by Red Bull™), Bungie took to its official website, offering players this revised offer for The Taken King digital download: In what is now a classic pattern for Destiny, the game developer is quickly trying to restore balance to what might have been an initially off-balance vision. With a growing collective voice of dissent about the pitfalls of The Taken King release plan, Bungie has been on damage control since E3. Fan skepticism hasn't been helped by a Red Bull promotional campaign that offers them a new Destiny: Taken King quest activity - but only if they buy a Red Bull.Smith talked up how awesome things like the new emotes will be - but needless to say, players are still skeptical (even though Smith later apologized). In an interview with Eurogamer, Taken King creative director Luke Smith further enraged fans by being somewhat cavalier about their concerns over being railroaded into overpaying for their Destiny upgrades.A lot of players felt it unfair that they be required to pay the full $80 fee for these new collector's edition exclusives, rather than being able to pay 'a la carte' for Taken King downloadable vanity items like armor shadings and emotes.Even though the physical copy of the Collector's Editions rewards players with a special metal case and some exclusive artwork, at double the price, a lot of gamers see both of these "collector's editions" as thin bells and whistles meant to justify a cash-grab.These include new guns, emotes, and armor shadings. However, the "Collector's Edition" game disc ($80) and digital Collector's edition ($80) both require players to re-purchase the original Destiny game and first two DLC expansions as well, in order to gain access to new content exclusive to these two Collector's Editions. The standard digital download version that gives you the third DLC expansion ($40), and the "Legendary Edition" game disc with the original game and ALL THREE DLC updates ($60) both seem okay and fair. There are four ways to buy The Taken King.Kotaku has a run down of why Destiny gamers are feeling a little bit upset right now - in regards to some of the terms of Taken King's release - and it boils down to these points: Since the original game will be a year old by then, and the first two DLCs more than half a year old, it's actually a fine price point at $60 to get a mix of a lot of old, and some new, if you're a new payer.īut not all of the particulars of this Taken King release are as fair and balanced in gamers' minds. Those who have yet to jump onboard the Destiny bandwagon have an even better deal: with the release of The Taken King they can the Destiny "Legendary Edition" for $60, which contains the original version, Dark Below, House of Wolves and Taken King all in one place. Longtime players know this drill by now (if you've played games like Call of Duty or Halo that have big DLC releases, you've been here before), so if the content is right, an additional $40 on top of the $100 they've already potentially paid for the "full Destiny experience" won't be that crazy. Officially announced at E3 2015, Taken King will cost players who bought the original Destiny game ($60), as well as The Dark Below ($20) and House of Wolves ($20) expansions (or together in the Destiny Expansion Pass for $35), an additional $40 to get The Taken King DLC expansion. The only issue is: how players will pay, in order to play. ![]()
