Sort of painful to watch almost. Jeff Gerstmann...people like him???
Is this for the $40 expansion, or the full version?
That's the whole game, Destiny 1 + DLCs.
The Taken King is only 10.1 mbs.
Destiny Guardian Edition:

That probably includes vanilla Destiny assets. On PSN TTK d/l shows me 10 mb :/
The 40$ is showing around 10.5MB for me (I havent preorder) but let's face it, it's hell of a lot bigger than that since it is their biggest expansion yet.
You best not be hatin' on the Gerst, man.
I imagine that it will be available though sometime hopefully soon. But yeah now I see your point.
Oh those timestamp links only work for me on desktop and I was on Mobile.... I guess I'm going to my computer to watch it. Thanks!

Guys guys! Everything in TKK is already on the disc. We're just paying 40 bucks to unlock it.
You're forgetting patches which brings it to 24 GBs right now. Include Take King and it might be close to 30 GBs.That's the whole game, Destiny 1 + DLCs.
The Taken King is only 10.1 mbs.

It will mostly likely be installed in an update, then activated by purchasing the 39.99 file.
I don't understand. Can't stand him. I stay away from Giant Bomb because of him. I know they/he has a huge following...he's just too negative and cynical for my taste.

My exact same words as I clicked the vid. Does anyone know at what point the interview srarts? At work right now, so it's hard to skim through
Also on mobile
Yeah, I suppose this will mostly contain an unlock key and a few items.
Everyone will have to download a big ass patch a few weeks before TTK hits, as we did for the first two DLCs...
Yeah, beaten! ^^
I guess the appropriate question is: Should a new player do Hard Mode the first time? If so, I'd be down for trying. I just can't promise everything would go smoothly
Realistically, I'd love to get the point where I can run both Normal and Hard Mode. I'm just expecting to bang my head against everything the first run through.
Cool, I'll shoot you an invite around 5 (assuming we can get enough). You have a vote on Hard or Normal mode?
Hey man, even the thought counts. I'll check if you're on. If not, not big deal.
At least one person does!
Owensboro's "OHGODWHATAMIDOING" Vault of Glass (PS4) Run. Thursday, June 18th @~5pm ET. have not decided normal or hard mode yet!
1. Owensboro (PSN: OwensboroEsq) [Level 33 Titan] (No Mode Vote)
2. Jignx (No Mode Vote)
3.
4.
5.
6.
X. silver.tongue (PSN: silvertonguebr) (Hard Mode Only)
X. iRAWRasaurus (Will Help If Online)
He usually comes off as jaded and hates everything but it's a perspective I increasingly appreciate. It's a personality driven site so obviously it's hard to get into if you don't like the personalities.
Luke interviews alot better than Deej, sweet jesus.
Every interview with Deej at E3 it felt like it was the exact same questions and answers. In one of them someone asked him about the different editions of TTK and he completely dodged the question and went on a tangent.
Luke actually seems to understand alot of the issues with the game and seems to want to resolve them, rather than pat us on the head and tell us its all OK.
They will make you download the whole game again. Didn't you have to do that when you had permission issues?
Like you said, hopefully on Bungie Day, they will announce another Sku.

Impossible.
Even if you have veterans in your party, it would probably be best to run it in Normal Mode the first time around, so you have a chance to understand the basic mechanics and can be revived if you fuck up. Otherwise, you will probably have to spend quite some time watching other people play / complete the encounters, which is not that fun... ^^I guess the appropriate question is: Should a new player do Hard Mode the first time?

often imitated never duplicated
Yeah, every time I've tried to tune into a bombcast or watch a video, they're always just shitting on everything, and I just peace out shortly after. Oh well. They're doing their thing.
Luke Smith seems incredibly likable, by the way. Good dude.

Sure thing! Sunday-evening works for me no problem. Upgraded some PvP gear for my Hunter the past couple weeks so it's time to wreck stuff. (Raspberry & Lupi chest pieces, TLW, my Final Round-Efrideet's Spear) My body is ready.

Owensboro, if I'm around this afternoon and you still need help rounding out a VoG team I can probably jump in. I would personally try VoG on Normal first but its not my run and you're sufficiently leveled so its up to you really.

"Fuck... shit... bastards" *insert other random curses*
Yeah... I think I got the fig impression down
I also enjoy the improved Skolas fight, just wish he dropped more primary weapons is all. Might do another one today, if anyone is up for it later in the day.
Yeah, I like Luke a lot. He should be CM.
No, he should be making more raids!

Possible, just throw in some F's and C's in a random sentence.

The desctiption says you need 40GB free space to install the Taken King.
"40 GB available hard drive storage space required for PS4"
Destiny Guardiam Edition says only 20GB.
"20 GB hard drive storage is required"
I think your maths are right.
He said he's got over 700 hours in Destiny (his personal acct). He can do both!
I'm almost certain there will be a big patch before the expansion launches containing all of the new content. Everyone, including people who didn't buy TTK, will have to download it. Remember everyone runs the same version of Destiny, whether they have the expansions or not.
Then at launch, having or not having the expansion is basically just a license check. But there won't be a launch-day download since a patch the week before should include all the content. Now perhaps the disk includes everything so people aren't taken to a download screen for TDB, HoW and TTK when they first pop their disk in.
But current players, whether they bought physical or digital, will already have downloaded the patch some days earlier anyways. This is speculation but I don't see why they'd change the way they've deployed things until now.
Luke is the lead Raid designer. Much higher up in the company than a lowly CM.
Luke and Urk sound calm an relaxed and seem like their having fun when they do interviews.
Deej feels like he's reading a script and he's seems like he's always nervous that he is going to reveal something that will get him in trouble with the higher ups. And he's always telling us that he's just a low level pee-on in the Bungie machine.

The GB interview is really good. Everyone should watch it.
"Fuck... shit... bastards" *insert other random curses*

This makes me think we need a Fig sound board.
Yeah, I know. Was joking a bit. It's just a shame the CM can't come off as knowledgeable and likable as those guys. That's sort of part of the job description, IMO.
Hmm, a brand new end game for TK....

I vote Colonel for Bungie CM.
Edit: I like how in this future that is Destiny, UPS still manages to break your stuff. "Package broken in transit."

Every time Deej goes on about how you "earned" certain exotics in the game it makes me cringe. Does he honestly still really believe that? Just let it go man.
I seriously don't remember the first time I got a Gjallarhorn anymore. My first exotics I earned by shooting in a cave for hours on end....

At level 33 I think you're golden for Hard Mode. It's basically the same thing + "no revives" and detain shields in the final boss.
Do it if you get experienced players. Normal mode will be so easy at your level that kind of makes it not fun.
OK. Raid Night Extravaganza. I should be available from 5 PM CDT onward.
I may jump into Owensboro's inaugural Vault run first if it doesn't fill up. Otherwise, here's what I have so far:
Hard Crota's End
1. Wafer Time
2. X-Frame ???
3. ColonelCornyVO
4. Namikraze
5. warlockDeaths?
6. heRAWRs???
Did I miss anyone?
I will gladly run more raids (either) afterwards if people want to do it 2-3x or other people want some raid action.

Yep, every E3 interview with Deej looked like there was a higher up off screen with a gun pointing at him.

5pm CDT? I'm from the future, remember? How many hours is that from now?
I thought we were running it now or soonish.
