: But what of Destiny already bamboozled me? I did not have time to grind to
: the level cap and therefore did not purchase DLC. Now I have to pay more
: money, only one year later, to get back into the gameplay and story
: quality that was expected one year ago? I so WANT to get back into
: Destiny. And if I didn't have to be very discerning with my cash I might
: just pony up and enjoy it. But I do have limited resources for gaming and
: I would rather not reward the game that gave me half a story and boring
: grinding.

: I don't hold much against Bungie yet. Growing pains and all that. But destiny
: will have to wait.

: That said, I haven't pre-ordered halo 5. I want to own it digitally however
: so I am torn as to what I should do. Or when I should buy. I'm confident
: that I will buy it but if I can avoid a bad launch I would like to.

I'm as critical as they come when it comes to destiny, but Taken King is a total 180. There's more real stuff to do in it than at release. You don't have to grind at all to do the raid. It's got a story. I got more real (not empty Grindy) fun for the price than a lot of games. It's so great because you can just do what it has to offer and the game doesn't fight you.
