Samuel L. Jackson in Destiny is The Best Thing You’ll Watch All Day

Peter Dinklage's performance as Ghost in Destiny was about as exciting as a day old plate of spaghetti.

What Destiny's story needs is a shot of adrenaline, excitement, and attitude. Qualities that actor Samuel L. Jackson has in spades.

Question now is, why did they not him to do this :)

Ghost should of had a personality, he should of sounded like an average human being since the tec in Destiny is so advanced.

caseh3381d ago

Could at least explain why you don't have time to explain.

JWiLL5523382d ago

The small bit from the first Destiny gameplay reveal had a funnier ghost with more personality.

It's pretty obvious they changed a bunch of it last minute though.

Should HAVE, should HAVE, should HAVE, should HAVE.

Godmars2903381d ago (Edited 3381d ago )

The game should have been modeled after Fallout rather than Halo. But the devs who made it made Halo while the publisher who published it also offer COD which has a SP story mode that has become more and more nothing but hand holding. So there really shouldn't have been any surprised over what was delivered.

Also, "No Time to Explain" needs to be considered a punishable offense among the writing community.

The misspelling of actor is bothering me more than it should :(

KwietStorm_BLM3381d ago

I don't even know what you mean. How do you spell actor where you're from?

The7Reaper3382d ago

Wayyyyyy better than Peter Dinklage lol that was hilarious

InTheLab3382d ago

This is pretty funny. What's not funny is how I can't play Destiny because psn is down again.....again

Gazondaily3382d ago

You need a PS4 first in order to play Destiny on PS4.

Don't understand? I don't even have time to explain why I don't have time to explain.

InTheLab3382d ago

Well the second part I get but what makes you think I don't have a ps4?

Or is this a play on how often that line is used whenever psn is down and someone brings it up?

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_Slaughter346d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood346d ago (Edited 346d 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-ro346d ago (Edited 346d 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.

Sonic1881346d ago (Edited 346d ago )

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

Kurt Russell345d 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.

buffig346d ago

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

anast346d ago

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

CantThinkOfAUsername346d ago (Edited 346d ago )

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

z2g346d 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.

spicelicka346d 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...

CobraKai497d 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.

jeromeface496d ago

prob because 2 is a grindfest slog

spoonard494d ago

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