Why all the hate for "Curse of Osiris"?

[Cajun Rabbit]

Ive recently started this campaign after beating the "Red War"

the plot is a bit quirky sure, but overall so far it doesnt seem so bad.


why was this so poorly recieved?

[Suzaku]

At the time, it was a pretty hyped bit of content that failed to deliver in both variety and amount of content that was expected. People had basically done everything it had to offer within the first week, which is pretty weak at a $20 price tag at the time (at least I think it was $20).

As a part of the free version of the game, it's fine, but it was quite underwhelming at its release.

This may seem acceptable now for free but back then it was supposed to be a significant expansion and for £20, all you got a small landscape, a couple of strikes, a campaign lasting less than 5 hours and a few other things. All in all, barely 5 hours of content. The Infinite Forest was also rather uninspired and linear.

Warmind is better albeit still short but Forsaken is the level of quality people were expecting and deserve. That just demonstrates how dreadful CoO really was.

FOUR HOURSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

The fact I can't go into a constant changing play area after the campaign is brutually annoying.
And I'm not counting the side missions, I mean go in cause I want to.

Imagine paying for it then you can see why people were critical at the time. It wasn't worth the cash for me and I stopped paying full price for expansions ever since.

Like others have said, for the price it was when you had to pay for it, and for the hype that was built up around it, it didn’t deliver at all.

[Cajun Rabbit]

I can get paying for it and it being underwhelming.


I never had to experience that... but people are STILL complaining about it... now that its free... it seems a bit silly.

Red War is not Curse of Osiris, CoO Came with a 4hr campaign and some items and thats it

[Tanuki]

For Free.99 those things are pretty damn sweet though. Glad I jumped in when I did, as, the only things you need to pay money for now, are the things worth playing.

CoO was definitely under-cooked.

If it wasn't for the crazy Osiris books and their odd resource requirements I'd be completely done with Mercury altogether already. Mars was a tad longer and has better gear on offer like an Exotic Scout Rifle and the Midnight Exigent set as well as Anna's armor offerings. War Mind is definitely better in every aspect, but do appreciate CoO due to the fact that it's free.

After War Mind was released and with all of the Battle.net garbage I threw in the towel on Destiny; what they've done so far since departure with Activision has been admirable and considering the time between the split and New Light release conjunct with the release of Shadow Keep its apparent that they're pretty capable of getting stuff done when they have creative wiggle room.

Conclusion is that I despised CoO and War Mind, but not so much anymore. Actually feel empathy toward Bungie and inevitable their product (Destiny).
