What We Want In: Destiny

Destiny has already proven itself to have the potential to be Game of the Year type material when it releases in September of 2014. If each of these five above points are identified and addressed then we believe that Destiny can be a title that gamers will be discussing well beyond the ten year life cycle that Bungie have been discussing. What Bungie do with this game has the potential to shape the future of an entire console generation, and we only hope that the game ends up being as excellent as we want it to be. If they can do that, perhaps total world domination is in fact within reach.

AMHNetwork have discussed five things they want from Destiny. Agree with their thoughts?

A good single player experience. I hate playing co-op with people I don't know. They never want to work together and use teamwork.

I don't want a game full of microtransactions

iceman13463757d ago (Edited 3757d ago )

i just want it to be a good enjoyable game

Mega243757d ago

Not on past gen, so Bungie can support current gen to the fullest, and maybe a pc version with cross platform play with PS4 and X1, if Microsoft wants.

that's a good idea but will never happen.

More than 6 vs. 6 online because Titanfall.

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_Slaughter333d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood333d ago (Edited 333d 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-ro333d ago (Edited 333d 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.

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

Kurt Russell332d 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.

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

anast333d ago

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

CantThinkOfAUsername333d ago (Edited 333d ago )

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

z2g333d 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.

spicelicka333d 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...

CobraKai484d 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.

jeromeface483d ago

prob because 2 is a grindfest slog

spoonard481d ago

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