With its banal universe and flavorless style, Destiny is packed with content, but just ... well ... content. There's a great PvP mode, and the leveling system can be rewarding, but nonetheless this is a pretty, rock-solid, ultimately pedestrian product.
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
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.
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
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.
Let's compare something similar. Apex Legends and its ridiculous $18/$40 skins make EA a billion each year.
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.
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.

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.
Another Honest Review, there is no point for this game to receive very good or very bad reviews coz its multiplatforms...
3/5 = 60%, I'm really surprised if this game averages around scores between 6-8. That would be a massive fail in my opinion. This game was hyped more than any game I can remember and it's too bad it's only an average game. I'm sure the next one will be much better but Bungie/Activision may have a hard time convincing/hyping people up to buy the inevitable sequel. My prediction is this game will have its small niche community four or five months from now. Once COD: Advanced Warfare drops, Destiny will lose tons of players and many people will move on.
Advanced warfare will get a higher metacritic score than this. Destiny is all marketing hype which fails to deliver.
i see plenty of non-gaming websites have found the way to garner up a bunch of hits really fast: hating on destiny! proof?
http://www.metacritic.com/g...
sorted by hits, this article is on top according to metacritic, with the only site i've actually heard of before, CCC, all the way second to last. (which coincedentally gave the game a 90) everything else is kinda random, but theres not one big name site up there yet... why? maybe it takes a little more time to review a game than opening the package and writing an article as fast as possible...
lets see how many no-name sites pop outta the woodwork to give destiny a 4/10 and get some ad revenue!
PS: its funny how last month, there were TONS of articles up about "gaming journalism" and how its utter BS, and yet, as soon as one of these guys back up your preconcieved opinion, everybody clings onto them again. decide for yourself whether you wanna play a game or not, but don't give these guys money by clicking on their "article"
Destiny is a big fail. It had good ideas and intentions but couldn't put it all together correctly. I won't fall for anymore overhyping again concerning games.
