Destiny: The Taken King - Lost to Light and Regicide

We are nearing the end of The Taken Kings Story missions and we start this part with a trip to the moon to collect part of Crota's soul from the crystal destroyed in The Dark Below questline. All seems to be going well, a little too well. Bungie throw in a new twist to the end of the misison that shows that they are prepared to turn Destiny tried and tested formula on its head in order to make a memorable mission.



For the final part, I have become ascendant and its time to enter the rupture and have word with Oryx. Let's see if we can sort this out peacefully without resorting to a massive battle and tonnes of gunfire and explosions... Probably not!



Spoilers - I won! Now once again I am at the end game of another Destiny expansion, but this time its different. I have been bombarded with new questlines, strikes and then there is the Dread Patrol. Oryx's dreadnaught has opened up as a new patrol area and is full of secrets to be unlocked. Destiny seems to have finally cottoned on to the content problem and is a much better game for it.

Destiny: The Taken King - Cayde's Stah and Oryx's Dreadnaught

Continuing with my playthrough of the new Destiny expansion, The Taken King and its on to the next mission. Hunter Vanguard, Cayde needs me to get the stealh crive he hid in the Cosmorome. The only snag its a the top of huge space rocket and the Fallen and the Taken are after it as well. Sounds like an average day in Destiny then.



Once again, Cayde's Stash is a brilliant example of bungie getting back to the epicness of Halo. This mission takes to the higest point you can get in the Cosmodrome, and fight all the way up to. There is Fallen and Taken to contend with and a boss battle at the top. Brilliant mission!

So now I have a stealth ship,what better time to sneak aboard Oryx's command ship The Dreadnaught. What could possibly go wrong?



Ok so this actually two missions, but they are so good I could not stop playing. The first mission sees the plan to infiltrate Oryx's Dreadnaught go spectactuarly wrong. This leaves to explore this massive warship full of Taken. It doesn't take long before you discover a Cabal ship crashed into the side of the Dreadnaught. Cabal soliders are fighting off the Taken as a last ditch effort avenge the attack on their base in Phobos. The good news they brought a wartank with them and you need to stop it before you can enter their ship.

The next mission sees you weaken the cabal forces, so that you enter their ship and see what intel they have on the massive Dreadnaught and if they know where Oryx is. Once again Bungie have thrown in a large does of Halo into this mission which starts off with you in the middle of a large scale firefight between two factions both of which wnat you dead more than each other.

The Taken king is shaping up to be the best content for Destiny so far... Stay tuned for more gameplay!

Destiny: The Taken King - New Gameplay

After an unexpected 18GB patch download,that PSN handled pretty well for a change. It was time at about 22:00 last night to get stuck into the new Destiny expansion. I have mentioned in my last post about the many changes brought in for year two. The major change for The Taken King expansions is something that was missing from year one. That feature is storytelling!

Destiny: The Taken King Out Today!

Destiny... Its been quite a first year. After getting hooked to the Alpha and subsequent Beta, I was desperate to get mu hands on the full experience on 9th September last year. It didn't let me down and Destiny became my game of choice for almost 6 months, which is incredible for a gamer like me. I went through the main story, then hit level 20. I even persevered with the Light system and managed to grind my way to high enough level to try out the Vault of Glass. I got halfway through with the fireteam I was with first time and it took another couple of months to be able to find the time to retry it.

I bought the expansion pass for both The Dark Below and House of Wolves. I eagerly waited for the content that the first expansion was going to bring. Then came the day it came out and I finished it in a hour and a half. This was the moment where I knew Destiny and I had a problem.
