LzyGmrs done its research and has ten vital things we thing should be featured in the next installment of Destiny, coming our way in 2016.

In depth story, stronger single player aspects, better world design, better color and contrast of colors on those worlds, less focus on compettitive multiplayer and more on cooperative play. Hell looks like it just needs to be a different dam game to me.

SaveFerris3433d ago

In other words, more everything?

MSBAUSTX3433d ago

Yeah I suppose. It had all the right ingredients but there wasnt enough of them to make me really like it.

JWiLL5523433d ago

Better color and contrast of colors?

You might want to check your TV settings, the color in each world looked pretty stellar. Obviously Mars and the Moon aren't going to have the same contrasting colors as earth/destiny's tropical version of venus.

VGMMDI3433d ago

I agree with this. Well, instead of having the story less confusing I would say have more of story. I didn't like the fact that while playing the game they hardly tell you a thing, but I'm being screamed at by people to look it up online.

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_Slaughter332d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood332d ago (Edited 332d 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-ro332d ago (Edited 332d 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 Russell331d 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.

buffig332d ago

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

anast332d ago

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

CantThinkOfAUsername332d ago (Edited 332d ago )

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

z2g332d 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.

spicelicka332d 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...

CobraKai483d 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.

jeromeface482d ago

prob because 2 is a grindfest slog

spoonard479d ago

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