The game is still rated T for teen based primarily on fantasy violence.
While some bemoan this development as an excuse to rush unfinished games to market, the more hopeful see it as integral to the future of gaming, an era where buying a game is an investment in years of entertainment rather than a limited, finite experience. It also proves that even a game that many considered a relative disappointment can be drastically improved via large updates and new features. “The Taken King” is more than just a downloadable extra it is an integral part of the experience. Modern games, and “Destiny” in particular, have shown that what you initially purchase might not resemble what you actually end up with a year later. It used to be that when you bought a video game you could be assured of a complete experience. Rather than being the start of a shared-world-action-RPG tidal wave, “Destiny” occupies a rather niche space and has instead become indicative of a major trend in modern video gaming: the evolutionary game.
Looking back on the overall “Destiny” experience of the past year, it has indeed been historic, but not in the way many of us thought it would be. Topping it all off is an incredibly challenging Raid mission that will test your skills and teamwork. The player can explore an entirely new patrol area in The Dreadnaught, new multiplayer maps and dozens of new quests to outfit yourself with the latest gear. While these extensions to the story are definitely a welcome addition to the world of “Destiny,” the real benefit is seen in the multitude of new content and gameplay fixes that come with it. With a major update and the release of “The Taken King,” it would appear that “Destiny” has taken major steps to becoming the game we all thought it would be and becomes historically significant in unexpected ways.Ī major add-on to last year’s “Destiny” and a direct sequel to “The Dark Below” and “House of Wolves” expansions, “The Taken King” sees Oryx, a hugely powerful enemy, invade our solar system seeking retribution for his slain son, Crota (whom the player dispatched in “The Dark Below” missions). At the end of that article I wrote “only time will tell” if the game lives up to its historic expectations. While this is the game most of us wish was here all along, and are slightly chagrined at having to pay for it again, “The Taken King” moves the story and gameplay of “Destiny” into exciting new territory.Īlmost exactly a year ago today we talked about “Destiny,” an incredibly ambitious project.
