ZeroXOF Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) Destiny is on fire and is selling lemonade so fast you probably drank a cup and didn't even know it. The bad news is Japan was not really feeling it only selling 140,000+ copies and that was only on PS3 and PS4. Here's the link:: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-09-17-destiny-becomes-worlds-best-selling-new-ip Now the main question is, will this happen for Destiny 2?

You sir, have a bad taste in FPS games. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parker Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 It also has one of the biggest budgets for any game ever, so that means a ton of marketing. Plus it has an extremely talented and well respected studio behind it too which just adds to the hype. All in all, not too surprising that it is selling a shitton of copies. The better question, as you said, is how will Destiny 2 fare? Personally I see a Destiny becoming a very successful franchise (it would be great to see some books, like we saw with Halo) and I look forward to seeing what Bungie has in store for us.

That's the way I feel about JRPG's they're all the same, all crap. Most FPS don't do so well in Japan especially sci-fi ones Edited September 18, 2014 by Azaan60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroXOF Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Japan is smart! All fps are crap all the same! Only in America it will sell!! Maybe if it was 3rd person I would have got! While I admit tps trumps fps, people have different views on what genres they like and we can't change that. Also I want to ask, why do you hate fps when nearly all recent tps games copy the same formula but in a different view? It also has one of the biggest budgets for any game ever, so that means a ton of marketing. Plus it has an extremely talented and well respected studio behind it too which just adds to the hype.

Parker If Bungie and Activision can come across a deal where the game retains it's integrity then Destiny has got a long future. One thing I know Activision isn't doing anymore is long term content. For now it won't hurt them but with the Master Chief Collection and Sunset Overdrive coming, it spells bad news for them a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeiFangFan85 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Destiny is an overhyped pile of garbage. There, I said it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McJacs2 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 For the sequel to Destiny, I think Bungie will look long and hard at what the people liked and what they didn't like. It will almost certainly be a free roam FPS MMO with more features that attract a larger audience, and will probably be solely on PS4 and Xbox One.

Dude you say that about 97% of every game this year. If you want to be a hipster that only likes indies fine who cares? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georji Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Sales does not equal good game, many people find destiny to be boring as all hell. The hype train is real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parker This is something I'd like to see as well. Though hopefully whatever publisher they use actually proofreads them this time unlike the Halo books which had typos and extra words on pretty much every page for the first 4 books. I haven't read any since then so not sure if they've improved or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwilightSpira Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) Everytime i see a new Destiny topic, i know it will be bashing and stan fights. People is opinion, if you want my for instance, i think Destiny is the best FPS in years, and im not even a FPS fan. i wont go into more details to avoid more bashing. But since im here, i think that apart from Bioshock, this one really got my atention and im having blasts of fun. If you didnt like it, sell it, or better yet, avoid buying more into the future. Its unfair to the millions that actually bought and like it, the other million can play Call of Duty Advance Warfare or any other game that you know will be a different experience later this year, have fun guys Edited September 18, 2014 by Mah2c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeroXOF Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) I take it some people forgot to level up in Destiny and leveled up in "keyboard warriorness" instead. Edited September 18, 2014 by ZeroXOF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasuallyRayla Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Been having a lot of fun playing Destiny. I wish they spent more time developing the story though instead of trying to hard to set up for a long running series. Oh and the loot system needs reworked for the crucible. Tired of staying in top 3 and getting like 1 item after about 5 matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
