Can't Wait For Destiny - Here's The Lowdown Before The Showdown

Destiny is officially out in two days and unless you have been living in a cave with your eyes and ears closed, you may be wandering what all this Destiny hype is all about. So before the big launch, here is everything you need to know about the game to get you ready for battle.

henrythomas2843950d ago

This is going to be so epic and no i can't wait.

CloudRap3950d ago

My anxiety levels are through the roof from the inner hype I have for this game.

brettjones4943950d ago

Oh man its not tuesday yet.

ShowGun9013950d ago

tues-weds ill be on destiny when im awake... wish i had the whole week off work!

BX813949d ago

Hells yeah. After the alpha I felt a bit let down and was going to buy metro redux instead. Then I downloaded the beta with low expectations. I absolutely loved it. This is now one of my most hyped games of the holiday.

patelsanjeed3950d ago

My friend was saying how he wish he could have the option of playing some levels alone, but I think trying to take down an alone horde alone would be suicide. Not saying it can't be done, but damn right near impossible from the gameplays i have seen.

Baccra173950d ago (Edited 3950d ago )

In the beta I did it alone until the final boss level. It can be done for most of the game, except for certain situations, which is what I like about Destiny.

Nice bit of info. Makes me want to throw my hunters knife in that hives face.

charliewong9803950d ago

Damn that thing looks ugly. Kind of reminds me of Alien from the Alien Movie.

EdnaJones973950d ago

So exactly how many planets are there so far? I have seen 3 so far but heard there a lot more than that.

ScottyHoss3950d ago (Edited 3950d ago )

5 locations; Earth, Moon, Mars, Venus, the Vex/Reef (my bad I forget). Hopefully expansions add 2 locations each, 9 for $90 seems fair if there's as much content as they say :D

Edit: no problem!

EdnaJones973950d ago

thanks, sounds more than enough to keep me busy into the new year.

He paid billions for Starfield. This should be the real story.

Microsoft bought all of Zenimax Media for 7 billion, while Sony paid 4 billion for Bungie. I think Microsoft got the better deal due to acquiring Fallout, ElderScrolls and Doom.

anast301d ago

This can't be true. They only bought Starfield...

InUrFoxHole301d ago

@anast
Should've thought that one out buddy, lol.

anast301d ago (Edited 301d ago )

Yeah, I thought it out. I'm not sure you did. But since we are buddy's now, you're welcome.

So you're saying that Microsoft has missed out on so many huge gaming franchise in the last 25 years from GTA exclusivity to guitar hero and destiny it's just laughable they had so many misses

Reaper22_301d ago

Yea, but they're still 100 times more wealthy than Sony. I would say it worked out well.

Gamingsince1981301d ago

Xbox is dead all that money doesn't help.

Hypertension140301d ago

What has work out well? It sure as hell had nothing to do with Xbox.

andy85301d ago

That isn't because of Xbox though. This is a gaming page, not an I get supplemented by father Windows page

Bathyj301d ago

Microsoft's money has nothing to do with Xbox.
Xbox is a money pit to them they would love to ditch but are after some ROI first.

Let's face it, Xbox is like a red headed stepchild that steals from you to buy drugs.

Hofstaderman301d ago (Edited 301d ago )

MIicrosoft is NOT XBOX. The current situation illustrates this. And Microsoft wants its ROI.

@Bathyj and daddy Satya has just force admitted Phil to rehab.

gold_drake301d ago

you know why MS has so much money, and it aint cause of the gaming xbox branch.

so lets not kid ourselves.

PhillyDonJawn301d ago

Xbox was shown to be more profitable than ps

jznrpg301d ago

@PhillyDownJawn not more profitable. More revenue with ABK acquisition but them going multiplat shows they are not making much profit

ocelot07301d ago

That's great for Xbox gamers ain't it that Microsoft are more wealthy than Sony. Is that really a argument use are using now lol?

Imagine me in my job. Arguing with a fellow security guard at another company. Hahah well the company I work for is worth £800m the one you work for is only work £600m!

Microsoft may have more money but Sony has the talented studios and the games to back up those studios.

Plus turning down Marvel too. Spiderman is only exclusive to Playstation because of that

Hedstrom301d ago

Best deal deal in gaming must be when Sony bought Insomniac for 229 million dollars. They made over 800 millions on Spiderman for the ps4 alone. Thats just crazy!

XBManiac301d ago

More in the 1.000 million now.

gold_drake301d ago

another Interview?

how is he the only one who loves the spotlight as much as he does lol

Futureshark301d ago

Let's not forget he also famously passed on Spider-man, Genshin Impact and GTA3.

However it's almost kind of cute how he can keep that sh1t-eating grin and say he's a 'no regrets' kind of guy, especially when you think how much just these 5 titles could have swung the world in Xbox's favour instead of Sonys.

How he's kept his job I don't know, he must sure be keeping Papa Nadella's shaft warm somehow.

"But, but Gamepass, he introduced that!!!"

Yes he did, and now look at Xbox, all it's exclusives are coming to Playstation now rendering the platform obsolete.

DarXyde301d ago

Honestly, with that kind of track record, you can't convince me Spencer hasn't eaten it from the back in the name of self preservation. Probably unwashed...and at least twice.

That aside, my interpretation of everything here is Xbox has been mismanaged a bit too much and Nadella came down from his throne. The way it is now, I don't believe for a minute the multiplatform move was Spencer's idea. I don't even think the acquisitions was Spencer's work. At this point, I reckon he's got as much power in his role as Hunter Biden at a Ukrainian energy company.

DivineHand125301d ago

You can never tell how things will turn out if he had said yes to those games. Xbox already has access to some great IPs, however, they hardly do anything with them or fail to deliver. It's also possible their presentation wasn't good at the time, and they made sure the next presentation was better.

I believe that part of being successful is releasing things in the right place at the right time.

Many major corporations have a story similar to passing on successful business ideas. Let us look at Sony Pictures for example. Back when Marvel went bankrupt, they had the opportunity to buy the entire Marvel for only $25 Million but turned them down. An unnamed big shot at Sony reportedly claimed that “nobody gives a shit about any of the other Marvel characters,”. They ended up taking Spiderman for $10 Million instead.

https://www.avclub.com/sony...

Fast forward to today, we can see what the Marvel brand has done for Disney. Is it possible the same success would have been possible had Sony acquired those IPs. We can't say that for sure and it is possible most of those IPs that are successful today may not have been used.
