Played for like 10 mins yesterday but now that its the weekend i can fully enjoy this beta secrets. thanks for the info

BattleTorn3563d ago

I'm gonna be trying to find all the gold chests. There are youtube guides

ZodTheRipper3563d ago

I'm a bit disappointed that it's the same content as the alpha, would be cool to see the moon outside of PvP.

xYLeinen3563d ago

I loved the PvE and strike mission, but I suck too much too enjoy the crucible pvp..

Eldyraen3563d ago

I haven't touched Crucible in either alpha or beta and may not till release.

The few bugs I noticed in Alpha (mainly Strike related) have been fixed as far as I can tell or at least didn't crop up this time around. I will be running it more still though but it is looking even better than Alpha all around.

The moon tease is a little disappointing only because I was hoping to experience just a bit more of Destiny during the Beta. I still have found a few new areas and Ghosts though so just means the rest of the universe should be substantial (I had put a lot of time in the Alpha alone). I also like seeing the first subclass now (I don't think I overlooked it in Alpha but may have).

Destiny can't come soon enough.

Squeaky_door3563d ago

Check back everyday on the beta. They have hinted they will release more things to do during beta(moon missions, raise lvl cap, etc)

Menkyo3563d ago

Yes they said there will be surprises during the beta.

Menkyo3563d ago

I have no interest in the PVP. Good luck to all that do.

anwe3563d ago

It's not for me either. I'm glad that its included for those that enjoy it, but I also hope they don’t try to funnel everyone into it at one time or another.

ZodTheRipper3563d ago (Edited 3563d ago )

Really guys? PvP is so much fun imo, can't wait for the other modes. It's a great mix of Halo and Borderlands. Finding the right weapon type is important, I suck at machine guns but love snipers and shotguns.

Menkyo3563d ago

@Zod Im glad you like it but I dont find anything fun about it. Its just plain boring to me, I compete for real in judo thats the only competition I care about. When I relax I just want to boot up the game and co-op with my peeps to kill stuff.

BattleTorn3563d ago

I know a few friends who are, so I'll play PVP along side them..

But for the most part I'm interesting in exploring PVE

ZodTheRipper3563d ago

Same here, PvE is where it's at but the PvP is very enjoyable as well.

Mr-Dude3563d ago

I hope we see some more of the solarsystem. But not to much offcourse

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_Slaughter326d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood326d ago (Edited 326d 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-ro326d ago (Edited 326d 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.

Sonic1881326d ago (Edited 326d ago )

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

Kurt Russell325d 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.

buffig326d ago

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

anast326d ago

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

CantThinkOfAUsername325d ago (Edited 325d ago )

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

z2g325d 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.

spicelicka325d 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...

CobraKai477d 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.

jeromeface475d ago

prob because 2 is a grindfest slog

spoonard473d ago

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