is it a 2 hour campaign?

Yeah, the campaign is really, really short. I've beaten it in 2 hours, more or less. Now, there's more content: raids, strikes, weaponry... Still, I don't think it's worth 30 bucks. Destiny should have released on September 2016, with all the expansions, 60 bucks, and it would be a fair prize. Some people have really spent a lot of money, in a game which is absolutely not worth that much imho.

Now, don't get me wrong, I really like the game as it is right now, and because I've just spent 60 bucks in all the content.

Because Dollars....

Activision are probably the worst in the business. They gutted the original Destiny so they could make expansions and charge the consumer more. I purchased the original Destiny and played it for 4 hours until I realized the game sucked(my opinion) and I never even bothered to go back after The Taken King(what was supposed to be Day One Destiny). They have released the game now 3 times physically, it is an insult to gamers.

I think you might be right. Activision may have wrested the title of worst gaming company from EA. At least EA is trying to repair its reputation - free DLC for Titanfall 2 is a huge step in the right direction. Meanwhile Activision is selling Destiny piecemeal.

Bungie made the wrong decision in my opinion by partnering with Activision. Yes it worked out very favorably financially but I feel that in the long term, Bungie's stellar reputation has been tarnised.

Call of Duty is no better than Destiny either. They are locking Modern Warfare Remastered behind the premium edition Infinite Warfare. They have pay-for-advantage DLC guns locked behind RNG supply drops. Yes you can 'win' them without actually spending real money but the odds of winning them that way are astronomically low. One guy on Youtube spent something close to $50US just to win one DLC weapon!! The new COD will have statistically superior variants of guns also, so that means more RNG supply drops, more advantage and more revenue for Activision. I really don't like where gaming is going now.

Sounds almost like people dropping 50-100 on Counterstrike weapons on Steam.  Pretty soon it will be cheaper to buy a gun in real life than in a video game.

It is the complete prostitution of video games.

You're preaching to the choir. By getting into bed with Activision Bungie did serious damage to its stellar reputation. The DLC and microtransaction situation is out of control too. "AAA" gaming is a lead weight around the neck of the industry, dragging it into the abyss.

I bought the original destiny felt a bit disappointed but wasn't too bothered as the mp, co-op, story missions gave me plenty to do. I didn't buy any of the expansions into last week when I ordered TKK with all the previous expansions for £7.99 from game. Wasn't going to pay £35 for for rise of the iron banner.
