Gamesradar: While we knew it was coming after Red Bull accidentally confirmed Destiny's The Taken King, the energy drink company has hit go on its official site, revealing an exclusive Taken King quest. The "epic, new quest" is a "never-before-seen, multistage mission in The Taken King that will test the speed and strategic abilities of Destiny players in new ways."

Because that's what fans really want...

This message was sponsored by my complete lack of enthusiasm.

Farmassy3859d ago

you just made me honestly laugh out loud

I have been done with destiny for a long time. I bought it when it came out and traded it back within a month. I am not surprised by any of the recent moves they have made with the expansion. People seem to be in an uproar about them but fail to realize that the original game wasn't what was promised. Destiny is dead

thejigisup3859d ago

I bought the dlc when i picked the collectors ed. up. I stopped playing destiny for about 5 months I'm now having a blast, though it took this most recent update to deliver a full game experience for me. Destiny isn't dead, it's just lost. I hate the wayfthugrgame is being handled especially with over priced dlc and not delivering in their promise or original vision in a timely fashion. This red bull shit is only confirming their poor practices, even if the mission sounds pretty cool. Iys a very love/hate relationship i have with destiny.

ChronoJoe3859d ago

Although it may be of little consolation, this extra mission becomes free for all 3 months after its launch.
It's still pretty lame but good to know everyone will be able to access the mission.

I imagine, the mission itself is crap in honesty. Not sure if any of you have played the additional House of Wolves missions, where make you play an existing mission in a different sequence... I'm expecting something like that rather than something that's been the result of extensive development time.

CKPan3858d ago

I got bored from its beta, never bought the game, never been happier.

kratoz12093859d ago

.... Hopefully the players see this so we can add it to the shit storm already

TLG19913859d ago

for how shit this game was in the first place, im surprised that they are putting the large dedicated fan base off the game completely with constant middle fingers to the people that have kept them in jobs for so long.

Its's getting to the point where some of these companies are getting like celebrities and they think they can do as they please and get away with it.

Grap3859d ago

Because most people are sheep, Even if I had liked the game I wouldn't accept this treatment.

TLG19913859d ago (Edited 3859d ago )

Very true Grap, to many sheep. COD is the perfect example. i understand people want to play with friends and that is usually a huge staying factor these days but there are so many other good games to play online with friends, things like COD and destiny and battlefield are at the bottom of my lists for multi player experiences.

i would much rather play a game of last of us online before touching a generic online shooter now.

Jdoki3859d ago

I was one of those that liked the game a lot.

But I'm done with it.

As cool as parts of this expansion look, I won't pay the high price, or put up with content locked behind marketing agreements and Collectors Editions.

Bungie are being arrogant, and Activision are being greedy.

pompombrum3859d ago

They can do what they please though. Just look at some of the people around the web defending them after their latest disaster.. they can do what they want, apologize to their fans by offering them some free lube then continually bend them over and the fans will lap it up.

pinkyxyz3859d ago

Wtf. I just bought this games last Wednesday with the dlc as a birthday gift to myself to play with my friends. Im at level 29 and was looking forward to an expansion that seems worser as the days go by. Sigh.....f*** everything

ChronoJoe3859d ago

It's not that bad. If you read N4G then you'd think Destiny was the worst game ever made, but on Reddit and the official forums, a lot of people are very positive about the upcoming DLC.

Personally, I'm looking forward to it.

The thing about N4G and similar communities is that because they are broad this feed is seen and responded to by everyone. People that don't play Destiny comment here as if they're offended by its DLC practices when it should be the people that are playing the game to deem the value of upcoming content. What matters is if TTK pleases the millions of players that are still playing Destiny.

FamilyGuy3859d ago

level 29 after 1 week, that's cool.

masterfox3859d ago

lol, will wait for the Pepsi diet quest then :D

TLG19913859d ago

Fallout 4, its not nuka-cola its now straight up coka-cola

Shouldn't it be sponsored by Kool-Aid?

Into the garbage it goes then.

He paid billions for Starfield. This should be the real story.

Microsoft bought all of Zenimax Media for 7 billion, while Sony paid 4 billion for Bungie. I think Microsoft got the better deal due to acquiring Fallout, ElderScrolls and Doom.

anast500d ago

This can't be true. They only bought Starfield...

InUrFoxHole501d ago

@anast
Should've thought that one out buddy, lol.

Yeah, I thought it out. I'm not sure you did. But since we are buddy's now, you're welcome.

So you're saying that Microsoft has missed out on so many huge gaming franchise in the last 25 years from GTA exclusivity to guitar hero and destiny it's just laughable they had so many misses

Reaper22_501d ago

Yea, but they're still 100 times more wealthy than Sony. I would say it worked out well.

Gamingsince1981500d ago

Xbox is dead all that money doesn't help.

Hypertension140500d ago

What has work out well? It sure as hell had nothing to do with Xbox.

andy85500d ago

That isn't because of Xbox though. This is a gaming page, not an I get supplemented by father Windows page

Bathyj500d ago

Microsoft's money has nothing to do with Xbox.
Xbox is a money pit to them they would love to ditch but are after some ROI first.

Let's face it, Xbox is like a red headed stepchild that steals from you to buy drugs.

Hofstaderman500d ago (Edited 500d ago )

MIicrosoft is NOT XBOX. The current situation illustrates this. And Microsoft wants its ROI.

@Bathyj and daddy Satya has just force admitted Phil to rehab.

gold_drake500d ago

you know why MS has so much money, and it aint cause of the gaming xbox branch.

so lets not kid ourselves.

PhillyDonJawn500d ago

Xbox was shown to be more profitable than ps

jznrpg500d ago

@PhillyDownJawn not more profitable. More revenue with ABK acquisition but them going multiplat shows they are not making much profit

ocelot07500d ago

That's great for Xbox gamers ain't it that Microsoft are more wealthy than Sony. Is that really a argument use are using now lol?

Imagine me in my job. Arguing with a fellow security guard at another company. Hahah well the company I work for is worth £800m the one you work for is only work £600m!

Microsoft may have more money but Sony has the talented studios and the games to back up those studios.

Plus turning down Marvel too. Spiderman is only exclusive to Playstation because of that

Hedstrom500d ago

Best deal deal in gaming must be when Sony bought Insomniac for 229 million dollars. They made over 800 millions on Spiderman for the ps4 alone. Thats just crazy!

XBManiac500d ago

More in the 1.000 million now.

gold_drake500d ago

another Interview?

how is he the only one who loves the spotlight as much as he does lol

Futureshark500d ago

Let's not forget he also famously passed on Spider-man, Genshin Impact and GTA3.

However it's almost kind of cute how he can keep that sh1t-eating grin and say he's a 'no regrets' kind of guy, especially when you think how much just these 5 titles could have swung the world in Xbox's favour instead of Sonys.

How he's kept his job I don't know, he must sure be keeping Papa Nadella's shaft warm somehow.

"But, but Gamepass, he introduced that!!!"

Yes he did, and now look at Xbox, all it's exclusives are coming to Playstation now rendering the platform obsolete.

DarXyde500d ago

Honestly, with that kind of track record, you can't convince me Spencer hasn't eaten it from the back in the name of self preservation. Probably unwashed...and at least twice.

That aside, my interpretation of everything here is Xbox has been mismanaged a bit too much and Nadella came down from his throne. The way it is now, I don't believe for a minute the multiplatform move was Spencer's idea. I don't even think the acquisitions was Spencer's work. At this point, I reckon he's got as much power in his role as Hunter Biden at a Ukrainian energy company.

DivineHand125500d ago

You can never tell how things will turn out if he had said yes to those games. Xbox already has access to some great IPs, however, they hardly do anything with them or fail to deliver. It's also possible their presentation wasn't good at the time, and they made sure the next presentation was better.

I believe that part of being successful is releasing things in the right place at the right time.

Many major corporations have a story similar to passing on successful business ideas. Let us look at Sony Pictures for example. Back when Marvel went bankrupt, they had the opportunity to buy the entire Marvel for only $25 Million but turned them down. An unnamed big shot at Sony reportedly claimed that “nobody gives a shit about any of the other Marvel characters,”. They ended up taking Spiderman for $10 Million instead.

https://www.avclub.com/sony...

Fast forward to today, we can see what the Marvel brand has done for Disney. Is it possible the same success would have been possible had Sony acquired those IPs. We can't say that for sure and it is possible most of those IPs that are successful today may not have been used.
