Certainly one of today, I am gonna get actually into Future 2. Belief me. That is why I always accumulate the free baubles I get for it from Twitch Prime: as a result of I’m completely, 100% going to determine what the heck a Cayde-6 is any day now. Simply as quickly I beat Persona 3 Reload, end this replay of KOTOR 1, and play each Remaining Fantasy recreation. I am going to most likely lastly get into EVE On-line on the similar time.
It is this illness of the thoughts, my associates, that has me earnestly debating whether or not I ought to choose up Humble Bundle’s Future 2: The Story So Far bundle, which accommodates 5 years of Destineering for a worth low sufficient to set off all my ‘impulse purchase’ nerves. Here is what you will get at every tier and for the way a lot:
- For $40 (£31.50) you will get the Lightfall growth and its annual move, The Witch Queen, the Bungie thirtieth Anniversary Pack, Past Gentle, Shadowkeep, and the Forsaken Pack.
- For $20 (£15.75) you will get, effectively, every part within the high tier besides Lightfall’s annual move. You may nonetheless get Lightfall itself, a brand new raid, and entry to the present season, however you will not get two dungeons from seasons 21 and 23, a brand new Unique Sparrow, the quicksilver storm catalyst and decoration, or entry to the actions (and loot) for seasons 20 by way of 22. In different phrases: you get the meat, however not the garnish.
- For $12 (£9.45) you may get every part besides Lightfall and its annual move. In order that’s simple sufficient to grasp.
- Lastly, for $8 (£6.30) you may get the Shadowkeep growth and the Forsaken Pack.
That is simply $4 per inscrutable correct noun (Lightfall, Witch Queen, Gentle, Shadowkeep, Forsaken) when you go for the $20 pack, which is nothing to sneeze at.
If, like me, you are a complete Future neophyte, you could be questioning how a lot of this content material continues to be within the recreation. In any case, Bungie extricated huge chunks of content material a couple of years in the past, with some growth content material being walled off ceaselessly behind the sport’s content material vault. However concern not, of all these expansions, solely the Forsaken DLC is the one whose marketing campaign has gone away (which is why it is now the Forsaken Pack, which means it nonetheless has a well-liked raid and a load of unique doodads so that you can earn). All the things else is full-fat.
The true query, when you ask me, is whether or not you plump for the annual move or not. It strikes me that the cut-down 6-item bundle could be the sensible alternative, right here: providing you with all of the Future that is match to play and not using a bunch of additional stuff doubling the worth. You’ll be able to at all times choose it up later, in spite of everything.
