Amazing. Huge contender for GOTY 2014.

fenome3752d ago (Edited 3752d ago )

This just screams a game I can dump stupid amounts of hours into, and those are the ones that I actually consider the asking price of $60. I've seen way too many games get away with having weak gameplay and a shit story still asking for better of a hundred dollar bill. Why? Because they get away with it. Unacceptable. You want my hard earned money, you need to earn it like I do.

This game is gonna be money well spent and an awesome time sponge, I guarantee it. Between the different levelling trees, customisation and exploration, this game deserves A LOT more hype around here. I'm sure that'll all change soon though ;)

windblowsagain3752d ago

Would have to agree.

MP games with alot of replay value, tons of mp maps should be $60.

Sp games should be $40 imo.

truefan13752d ago (Edited 3752d ago )

This looks like Halo on another plant.

I don't really mean that it's just something ps4 fans would say to downplay the game if it was exclusive. But look at all the praise since it's multi plat. All in all Destiny looks great I'll definitely be playing come September.

erathaol3752d ago (Edited 3752d ago )

I almost lost my s*** for a second, I mistook that white armored solider for a Cyborg Ninja, as the weapons look like Katana's on a quick glance.

Man, if only, all I see is cool guns but Bungie did have some great high-tech close-combative weapons. Would be cool if they add a set or two in Destiny.

nveenio3751d ago

I never got into Halo. I'm not a fan of multiplayer. But games like Destiny and The Division (also, Need for Speed Rivals) help me ease comfortably into these things. The seamless switch from me being me to me being part of a team is actually something I like. And I love space and the idea of alternate civilizations. So as long as I can get away and explore on my own sometimes, Destiny and I will have a lot of fun together.

Bungie Character design is so ****ing phenomenal!!!!
@Lukas_Japonicus I agree, I'll never forget this vista.

GarrusVakarian3752d ago

I agree, but where Bungie also shine is vistas, so many awesome views in their past games. I wanna see some vista screenshots.

fenome3752d ago

There are some awesome ones of The Moon right here, and there are so many planets to explore as well. Can't wait! I guess all the planets are changed too, like Venus having jungles, from what I heard it has something to do with The Traveller..

Can't wait to play this game!

Wingsfan243752d ago

Love how varied the game is. I wonder how big the game really is with all the worlds and stuff. They still have so much to show us. E3 can't get here soon enough.

ksnm03752d ago

I'm not interested in this game...

Abriael3752d ago

thanks for taking the time to let us all know :D

GarrusVakarian3752d ago

Then why comment on an article about it?

....Unless you're letting us all know how much of a hipster you are by not liking something popular?

fenome3752d ago

I'm not interested in Gonorrhea...

Destiny Made Over $160 Million In Microtransaction Revenue In Less Than 2 Years

Destiny has made over $160 million in MTX revenue, and these numbers only account the data from late 2017 to early 2019.

Sgt_Slaughter348d ago

That's extremely low for microtransactions, especially for a game that's essentially designed around it

LucasRuinedChildhood348d ago (Edited 348d ago )

This was back when the game wasn't free to play.

The figures are from November 2017 to February 2019 (1 year and 4 months).

Based on that projection, the MTX revenue for Destiny 2 likely would have been closer to ~$240m for 2 years.

Not sure if premium expansions are included in that figure either although ... I'd hope that they are though and that most of the revenue was for actual content like Forsaken.

People spend way too much money on cosmetics.

Rude-ro348d ago (Edited 348d ago )

Seasons($10 and just got bumped to $12) and dungeon keys($10 each, two a year) are through the eververse(micro transaction) store.
So for those two years, in order to play a season, you would pay through micro transactions.

Sonic1881348d ago (Edited 348d ago )

Bungie Marathon will be worse since it's designed around it as well

Kurt Russell347d ago

It makes me sad to agree... but at the same time I am looking forward to giving it a go. Destiny 2 is so far in, I find it difficult to figure out what I am meant to do first.

buffig348d ago

I think FIFA alone makes over $1bn a year from mtx

anast348d ago

FIFA promotes a worldwide sport. It should make more money than destiny.

CantThinkOfAUsername348d ago (Edited 348d ago )

Let's compare something similar. Apex Legends and its ridiculous $18/$40 skins make EA a billion each year.

z2g348d ago

For as much as ppl complain how much they hate microtransactions, they sure don’t act like it. No wonder they aren’t going anywhere.

spicelicka348d ago

By "people" you're referring to millions and millions of people. Obviously the ones complaining aren't necessarily the same as the ones spending all that money.

There's millions that purchase MTX and there's nothing we can do about it

I've been thinking about playing through D1 again before it goes away...

CobraKai499d ago

That’s the sad reality of a game like this. I bought it, invested lots of money, and it can go away at anytime. I still think this was more fun than 2.

jeromeface498d ago

prob because 2 is a grindfest slog

spoonard496d ago

That's the bummer of 'games as a service'.
