Destiny launched last week with immeasurable hype. The mystery surrounding Bungie’s latest genre-mashing title, combined with the sheer force of its marketing, proved to win over gamers all around the world, with millions purchasing it at launch – including critics, after Bungie stated they’d have to review it after the fact. In the week since, average reviews have cropped up from mainstream gaming websites, revealing that – no matter what you think of Destiny - it is apparently the worst game Bungie has ever made.
Destiny has made over $160 million in MTX revenue, and these numbers only account the data from late 2017 to early 2019.
That's extremely low for microtransactions, especially for a game that's essentially designed around it
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.
In Episode 1 of Spot On, a new weekly news show, Gamespot talks about the dangers of chasing a trend.
Playing Destiny 1 on PC has been something fans have been requesting for years. It looks like Destiny 1 is now playable on PC via the RPCS3 emulator.
i really don't get it, yeah it's not the next halo combat evolved but the gameplay is so delicious, the combat is focused for a big game, the AI is great, the environments are beautiful and well designed
the game is 8-9 imo
What's with all these low reviews I've been seeing, to be honest I think the game is hella fun especially playing cooperative and online play. Gameplay is really good and graphics are amazing and they said they will support the game for a while with events, expansions, etc.
The hype Bungie, Sony, and even Microsoft created, for this game would have never been matched for expectations or critical acclaim. Over hype creates false modesty, whether intended or not rubs some people the wrong way. So that's naturally going to create the haters and the over-protectors (see meta-critic user reviews). Personally I think the game has decent to good "bones" and might/should be a great fleshed out game over the coming years. Bungie has it's work cut out for them to make their Destiny universe a bit more interesting, but at least the structure is there for them to do it.
And they said it would be better than Halo...not even close.
The reviews were delayed i don't like that at all. False advertising is not something i like at all. If your game gets low score customers deserve to know why that is before buying.
