I really wish I was making this up. Basically - Destiny fans - do you want the complete package that should have been with your game anyway? Well drink some Red Bull, because that's the only way you're going to get an exclusive quest. Better yet, this exclusive quest that you can only get from buying a Red Bull is for the new The Taken king expansion, which already cost $80 to begin with. 

 

Bungie, come on. You're better than this. You sold your soul to one of the gaming devils. Fine, you did what you did. Then you delivered a, quite frankly, extremely crappy and lackluster game. Now you're throwing all of this expensive DLC onto your consumers. It's ridiculous. Bungie use to be my favorite game developer, until Destiny. So many mistakes, too little fixes, and even with the few there, the game is still lackluster. 

 

But anyways, moving onto this whole Red Bull thing... Quite frankly it's BS. I've never liked the idea of buying products to earn extra EXP in games (looking at your Call of Duty and Halo 4), and I especially don't like it when exclusive missions are given to these 3rd parties. Activision/Bungie is already shoving $80 down Destiny player's throats if they want the latest DLC, and to even get this exclusive mission you have to get the DLC. How ridiculous. I can't believe this is happening. 

 

Anyways, the BS website with all of the details can be found here: http://quest.redbull.com/us/en

LOL

Call of Duty has Mtn. Dew and Doritos for double XP codes (I'm not even kidding) and now Doritos has Destiny... Wow!

I hope Destiny get some Pringles too. I love capitalism!

To be fair I'm sure this isn't Bungie's decision.  However, you can still blame Bungie for choosing Activision as their new publisher.

People need to stop blaming Activision. Bungie is just as responsible. They are run by MBA holding execs. This isn't some indie studio that even likes their fans anymore.

They willingly went to Bobby K. For money when MS probably would've given it to them if they didn't have such huge egos as the industry is now witnessing.

That moment when you're the "biggest new video game game franchise launch in history" so you go full retard.

The ability to google properly is a skill of its own.

Wow, I already didn't care about this game. But that just tops the cake on the rest of that horrible game.

I though that drinking Red Bull gives you wings...

Read the community standards; it's like a guide on how to not be a moron.

AW did, yes. Mostly for like 1 hour double XP codes and some special MTN Dew and Doritos Gear. I had a friend who had them all, for the lulz.

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)
