Why Destiny on PS4 is the best place to play

"The final reason why Destiny promises to be better on PlayStation 4 is ultimately because of the previous things we’ve mentioned."

That is in the running for the most pointless line of text I have ever read.

GutZ313532d ago

I own a PS4, and Preordered Destiny, this is just nauseating.

Sayai jin3532d ago

Good points, but it's still subjective. Also, this is coming from a PS site.

People with a PS4 will get the game for the PS4, people with an XB1 will get it for that system, and those with both system will get it based on the preferences, i.e more online friends/community, online network preferences...

Scrivlar3532d ago

That's exactly right. I have both XB1 and PS4 and have ordered it on XB1 because most friends bought XB1, and I remember most games having a better network connection and less bugs on 360 than PS3.

AngelicIceDiamond3532d ago

The timed and permanent DLC makes it the best place to play.

DARK WITNESS3532d ago

You say that as if the DLC will be some critical part of the game.

I am getting it on ps4, but not because of stupid dlc that will be worth nothing after you start to upgrade and find loot ingame.

@DARK WITNESS
The exclusive content is not limited to gear, see for yourself:
"At launch, PS4 and PS3 owners will get exclusive access to a unique co-op Strike located on Mars, an exclusive competitive map, and a slew of exclusive guns, gear, and ships."

Additionaly every Destiny Expansion (the first one coming in December, I was surprised that it's so soon) will have exclusive content as well. I would say that this and the fact that the PS4 is their lead platform is more than enough reasons to make PS4 "the best place to play Destiny". You can even play Destiny at work if you own a PSVita (that's what I'll do :D)... but each to their own I guess.

And in conclusion, this is the end of my statements. The end.

Askanison43532d ago

I think you were the only person to actually read my comment lol

Success? Greatness? Ownage?

All of the above?

SteamPowered3532d ago

If success, ownage, and greatness smell like a BS article, then I guess it's on the mark....

SilentNegotiator3532d ago

The smell of a fan site trying too hard?

BattleAxe3532d ago

The best place to play is on PS3, because it's the only console out of all four consoles that the game will be available on, which has free online play.

Hells yeah.

guitarded773532d ago

Nah man... I played the beta on PS4, PS3 and 360 and it's worth the price of the $35 I paid for a year of PS+. The graphical differences and smoothness are so much better on the PS4.

GutZ313532d ago

The ability to start a party chat session is also extremely useful in creating a fireteam for PVP or Raids.

OUROSMAG3532d ago

Wow that article made my brain hurt...

BillmadeAGate3532d ago

I'd rather read this dribble than another article about Tomb Raider being a timed Exclusive lol.

Ripsta7th3532d ago

Bet u never got tired of the 100+ articles we got on TLOU

SteamPowered3532d ago

Those honestly wore me out. TLOU was a great game remastered, we get it...I'd rather play it than read about it.

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_Slaughter322d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood322d ago (Edited 322d 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-ro322d ago (Edited 322d 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.

Sonic1881322d ago (Edited 322d ago )

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

Kurt Russell322d 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.

buffig322d ago

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

anast322d ago

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

CantThinkOfAUsername322d ago (Edited 322d ago )

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

z2g322d 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.

spicelicka322d 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...

CobraKai473d 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.

jeromeface472d ago

prob because 2 is a grindfest slog

spoonard470d ago

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