Walking through the Bellevue office for the first time, I'm struck by all the accolades lining the walls near the reception area. Here, a giant, life-sized statue of Master Chief stands tall, casting a shadow."
A former Halo and Destiny executive producer has said the live service model is "so much better for developers and players" than the one-off $60 purchase model.
Well the Poll on the website is suggesting he is massively wrong and out of touch.
A big majority of the vote going to "I prefer one off purchases with paid expansions"
Couldn't agree more.
I'll always think the concept is awesome. Back during the PS3 era I pictured a Spider-Man game that would be the traditional open world swinging playground that they typically are but every comic issue would be turned into dlc. It'd be the entirety of the Amazing line, 2 to 3 issues at a time, turnt to dlc until the entire Amazing line is told in form of a game. That concept eventually made it to the industry and they have consistently fk'd it up with every game that has been made as a "service".
There is nothing like sitting down , popping in a great single player game and blocking out the world.
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.
*I Played 45 Minutes Of Destiny, And It Was Kind Of Boring*
That's like saying You only watched the intro and few minutes to a movie and called it boring right away *Rolls eyes*
@Below 45 minutes does not do a game justice that most likely will be showered in content for 7+ hours.
Screw you Kotaku, don't you go trying to demolish my interest in this game.
Read it, it was pre alpha hands off. And honestly my interest in the game still stands. Game still sounds cool from what the writer described.
Finished reading game still sounds good.
@Abriael I'd be lying if I said one of the early reviews for a game wouldn't shake my view on it a bit.My trust only stands firm for a handful of games and none of them are fps.
I don't expect everyone to be blown away or fall in love with Destiny..We all have to remember each gamer taste is different from what you may deem as quality.
This particular author has never impressed me so i wouldnt be too worried here.
Its an MMO. The game takes time to grow and become interesting.
