The game is worth 60 bucks yes, but this is a multiplayer experience. You must be online to play and much of the content is designed for groups of 3 or six. You can solo the story and some strikes when you out level them a bit, but I would NOT get this game for the solo content alone. It is really an all or nothing experience when it comes to value.

You can't just say how's the "single player campaign". It's not as simple as that in Destiny.

You'll have what are known as "quests" that give you various objectives to do to unfold the story. A lot of times within the quests you'll have to do story missions, which are similar to your traditional FPS levels, but from time to time the objectives within the quests will ask you to do various other things such as exploring the open world for some material or going out into the world to slay some particular targets in some location whom you have to summon in some way, which is also feeds into the story.

The story itself will initially be told through a main "Taken King" quest, which some people might think is the story of this expansion. However, once you complete this quest many other quests open up that essentially carry on the story in various directions, mainly that you participate in what is known as the "Taken War" on various planets as a continuation. So there's a quest line for each of the planets. It takes a long time to do all these and there are quests that aren't even related directly to the taken king or taken war and explore other areas of the lore. 

Overall it's like a lot of branching paths that lead in various directions and once you complete them it leads you onto the raid (releasing tomorrow) where the story culmiates as you fight against the final boss in his strongest form. I've spent close to 20 hours in the past 2 days and I am nowhere near completing all the quests (maybe done 20-30% overall). I'm still participating in the "Taken War" and there's just a lot to take in. This of course is on top all the sweet loot drops you get to increase your light level to the max and that's a whole game in and of itself.

So overall the campaign will take you through traditional missions, then to objectives in the open world where you'll probably be fighting alongside random people who are in the world to summon and defeat a very powerful boss to complete the same quest line as you. So yeah, if you go in, don't go in with a mind set of completing a simple linear "single player campaign", rather a lot of quests that gradually tell you the story through traditional missions but also many other open world type of objectives.

That is literally what the legendary edition is, expect they are throwing in the vanilla Destiny as free. Here's a small breadown:

Vanilla Destiny=$60

DLC 1 (Dark Below)=$20

DLC2 (House of Wolves)=$20

Taken King=$40

Legendary Edition Destiny=$60 (Includes everything above)

So if you bought DLC 1+DLC 2+Taken King separately because you already have vanilla Destiny, it would cost you $80. So rather than doing that they're just giving you Legendary Edition which costs $60 and saves you $20 plus throws in the vanilla Destiny game as well. If you only have the original game the Legendary Edition is the best option because it saves you $20 and includes all the DLC released so far.

Who gives a rip how big the download is. Start a download overnight and play it the next day. If it's just a principal of the matter type thing (17GB for a new version/update, how egregious), well then guess this game isn't for you.

I was just surprised because there is no AAA games released below 20GB on PS4 (well there is some 17GB)... my last game before Destiny MGSV had 27GB is I'm not wrong.

Yeah, I recently downloaded MGSV and Mad Max that had some lengthy download times as well.  If the game offers an experience you want to try (and I have enough room on my hard drive), that is hardly a blocker.

8 pages and I´ve seen but a glimpse of the story being discused.

It´s only "power up this, unlock that", "killing this boss takes for ever", "the new drop system is cool".

So sad how much Bungie has fallen to hook players in that slotmachine business model.

Any way, those 5 metacritic critics look mostly as pre-writen press releases.

Nobody give spoilers from the story in this thread.
And the Meta will go up after the big sites reviews waiting the Raid go up.

I expect 90-91.

Honestly even though Taken King does have a decent story, that is not the focus of the game. It never has been and it probably won't ever be. Destiny is a game that focuses on one of the industry's best FPS gameplay and increasing your character's power level with unique and good looking gear. If the latter doesn't appeal to you, you're better off staying away from Destiny.

I don't think every game needs to have some kind of amazing story. A game can be good without having too much of a story (this isn't true for Destiny but just for argument's sake). Its okay to just focus your game on the best gameplay experience you can give people and setting the context around making a powerful character like in MMOs. Mario has no story, but it's still one of the best games out there due to its amazing gameplay.

I understand what you are saying, but what I am saying is by throwing the vanilla destiny in for free it basically makes the $125 disc I own useless i.e. $125 in cash down a sinkhole. Who would buy that of me now  when a much better cheaper full version is avaialble lol?

If for $99  hereyou get the legendary edition they should judt offer another option where taken king + the two DLC for say $50. This way at least the vanilla destiny game still has some sort of value to it.
