"I’ve been seeing a lot of 'Why I’m Quitting Destiny' internet posts lately and I’m not surprised, as I think the game is misunderstood. Most people consider this game to be an action/adventure shooter. I do not. As I’ve mentioned numerous times in the past, I believe that Destiny is a MMO first and a shooter second. Granted, it is heavily gutted from titles such as World of Warcraft, but it portrays the exact same characteristics as any other MMO I have played in the past, including endless grinding (in this case, for materials to upgrade your gear), and faction gear that can only be obtained by grinding reputation. One of the other, most notable changes is that prior to major releases, old content is scaled down in difficulty, and new gear almost immediately trumps end-game content. In other words, the playing field is completely balanced mere hours into new content, as old gear does not keep up against its new counterparts."
Destiny has made over $160 million in MTX revenue, and these numbers only account the data from late 2017 to early 2019.
That's extremely low for microtransactions, especially for a game that's essentially designed around it
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.
In Episode 1 of Spot On, a new weekly news show, Gamespot talks about the dangers of chasing a trend.
Playing Destiny 1 on PC has been something fans have been requesting for years. It looks like Destiny 1 is now playable on PC via the RPCS3 emulator.
How many times do people have to say, that Destiny isn't an MMO and even the developers themselves. They only borrowed a few elements from the genre, but it's just a Multiplayer game with nothing massive in it.
Can't wait for the dlc! Destiny ........ the greatest FPS ever!
Despite Bungie themselves not being able to make up their mind if it's an MMO. One minute stating categorically it's not an MMO & shouldn't be treated as one, because of the lack of players. Next minute claiming it's absolutely an MMO & will get better & better as time goes on when people complained on content.
Fact states it's not an MMO simply because the simple term stipulates it has to be massively multiplayer. The term being created to define a game with dozens if not hundred of players all playing together on the same server in the same game, which Destiny is clearly not.
It's not an MMO and the grind is exactly why I left. Spent 7 years of my life grinding in MMO's like WoW and fed up with it.
The game is not on my top ten list of games I want to play and stopped playing at level 19 when I realised you had to grind your ass off to get to level 25 for first raid.
Flat storyline, poor voice acting is just unforgivable.
What's the most players that can hang out together in an open space, most I've seen is 4 or 5, if this is an mmo then so is Battlefield and its 64 player games, and we all know that its not!
