Guess a story was one of those secret items . Lol

xHeavYx3375d ago

No worries, they'll have those items in game soon. All you need to do is pay extra.

CloudRap3375d ago (Edited 3375d ago )

It was supposedly going to have a robust, lore rich story like Mass Effect but there was alot of big egos colliding and after Joe left the team the whole thing just fell apart thus resulting in the zombie of a game we have now.......

supposedly.

Perjoss3375d ago

This is just like that Newt line in Aliens: "They mostly come out at night. Mostly", except its much longer, totally different, and uses the word supposedly instead of mostly.

SaveFerris3375d ago

Perhaps in some alternate universe there are millions of gamers playing an awesome space opera called Destiny.

joab7773375d ago

I'm not real hard on them b/c I am guessing, taking all the info available, that the game never reached its initial vision. Instead, it was limited by launch constraints.

Consider this. I actually think the beta hurt. It was the slice of game that showed many of its strengths and ppl went crazy for it...so...it got launched quickly, on the back of all the buzz.

Had it taken another 6 months to a yr to finish up and provide the origin story, and EVERYTHING else that was cut, I think it would have been even more lucrative. Yeah, they would have spent another yr in R&D, but it would have made a ton at launch (like it did) but the game would have been better, and future money would be much, much higher.

I don't think "time" was the enemy of Destiny.

the dark below was another and the wolves.thats 2 things that didnt make it to the final game

joab7773375d ago

True. I do believe that at least 1 dlc was cut once they realized they were behind. I think that the popularity the beta got was the green light for launch.

ABizzel13375d ago

The entire planet Saturn so far.

Drekken3375d ago

Why would that make it into the game when they could sell it to you for $40.00?

Jonny5isalive3375d ago

pretty much half the game didnt make it so it could be sold as DLC.

MilkMan3375d ago

Items that didnt make it?!
Better check with the game, there is about 85% of it on the DLC/expansion and sequel list over at Activision and Bungie tent.

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_Slaughter330d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood330d ago (Edited 330d 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-ro330d ago (Edited 330d 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.

Sonic1881330d ago (Edited 330d ago )

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

Kurt Russell329d 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.

buffig330d ago

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

anast330d ago

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

CantThinkOfAUsername330d ago (Edited 330d ago )

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

z2g330d 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.

spicelicka330d 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...

CobraKai481d 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.

jeromeface480d ago

prob because 2 is a grindfest slog

spoonard477d ago

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