Upon the expansion's release, retailers also issued ''Destiny: The Taken King Legendary Edition'' which includes ''Destiny'' (base game)'','' ''The Taken King,'' and the previous two DLCs. Two days after its release, Sony announced that the game broke the record for the most downloaded day-one game in PlayStation history, in terms of both total players and peak online concurrency. Its release coincided with patch version 2.0 for ''Destiny'', which made fundamental changes to the core functionality for all players to mark the start of "Year Two" of its lifecycle, including a new quest system and revisions to the game's leveling system among others. Through the development of ''The Taken King'', Bungie sought to address criticisms from players and critics; many changes to the game were direct responses to this. ''The Taken King'' and its associated patch received positive critical reception, with reviewers citing the more coherent storyline of the content contained within, as well as other changes across ''Destiny'' as a whole that improved its overall systems and gameplay mechanics. == Plot == ''The Taken King'' focuses on Oryx whose son Crota was the antagonist of ''Destiny's'' first DLC, ''The Dark Below''. In revenge for the Guardians' defeat of Crota, Oryx began to build an army known as the "Taken" to defeat them, which consists of changes to the Fallen, Cabal, Vex, and Hive enemies. The story begins with the Awoken attempting to attack Oryx's ship, the Dreadnaught, however, this ends with the Awoken fleet being destroyed and the apparent deaths of Queen Mara Sov and Prince Uldren Sov. The Guardian is then sent to investigate a Cabal distress signal, but is ambushed and forced to evacuate, shortly after Oryx reveals he corrupted the Cabal in order to make a new army, the Taken. In the Last City, the Vanguard discuss the attack and the Awoken, until Eris Morn interrupts and tells the Vanguard of Oryx's intentions. The Guardian is then sent to obtain a new power (the Guardian's third subclass) to combat this new enemy. After the Guardian is sent by Cayde-6 to uncover a hidden stealth drive and infiltrate the Dreadnaught in order to disable its main weapon, the Guardian is discovered and their ship (actually Eris's ship) is destroyed. Narrowly escaping death by teleporting out of the ship onto the Dreadnaught, the Guardian explores and disables the weapon. In order to reach Oryx, the Gurdian must steal what remains of Crota's soul from his tomb on the Moon so that they can pass through a portal on the Dreadnaught called a Rupture. The Guardian is able to get cloaking tech from the Warmind Rasputin to sneak into Crota's tomb, and successfully recovers Crota's soul with help from Eris when the cloaking tech fails. The Guardian infiltrates the Dreadnaught and is able to pass through the Rupture, and after fighting Oryx's guards, the Guardian reaches Oryx and seemingly kills him. The mid-credits scene shows Eris Morn touching Oryx's sword and then watches it crumble, taking the crystal that was inside of it. The Vanguard and Eris believe that Oryx is destroyed, but little did they know, Oryx survived, thus prompting the Guardians to reboard the Dreadnuaght ("King's Fall" raid) and defeat Oryx's mightiest warriors, the Warpriest, Golgoroth, and the Deathsingers, Ir Halak and Ir Anuk, before finally facing and destroying Oryx, The Taken King. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Destiny: The Taken King」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
