I can't wait for this game!

Despite all the terrifying amount of misinformation going around this game is going to be huge, and it doesn't help that it plays better than 98% of shooters.

i liked the lore and i liked the dancing

" and it doesn't help that it plays better than 98% of shooters"

I think that's a little bit of hyperbole. The gameplay isn't bad(in the PvE at least), but come on, 98% of shooters? I found the controls sluggish while running in both the PvE and PvP. Shooting enemies while jumping was almost impossible in both the PvE and PvP. You could not reload while running. Despite these minor issues, I really enjoyed the PvE. Loved opening up with my upgraded Shingren-C auto rifle, and utterly destroying any Fallen I came in contact with. I loved the PvE in the beta.

The Crucible is a whole other can of worms. Along with the control issues I mentioned above, it was a complete unbalanced mess. The majority of weapon types in the PvE were pretty much useless in the Crucible. Bungie used the same gameplay tools in the Crucible, as they used in Halo(jump, melee, grenade, special power, and weapon fire), only they didn't use them the same way in the Crucible, as they did in Halo. Which considering all the similarities that Destiny shares with Halo, you would think Bungie would make the gameplay in the Crucible similar to the multiplayer gameplay that made them a huge success. In Halo, you would generally use a two attack combo(some variations of melee, grenade, special power, or weapon fire)to get a very quick kill. This required some skill, and made the gameplay rewarding. The Crucible currently is nothing like this, a kill/death is nearly instantaneous regardless of what you use, I would prefer a longer survivability so you could at least fight back or even escape. Its entirely possible to kill an entire team taking an objective by simply pressing two buttons simultaneously in the Crucible. That is unskilled, cheap, and hardly the definition of good gameplay. But Im not ready to give up on Bungie just yet regarding the PvP, they still have time to balance things. And I hope they do, because it would extend the life of the game greatly for me.

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.

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

Kurt Russell330d 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

spoonard478d ago

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