Why Destiny Should Fear Bioware’s Next Mass Effect

Bungie's Destiny, in spite of its many stumbles, has been an enormous success for both the developer and publisher Activision.

When can we start banning these artificial Mass Effect hype submissions?

Destiny has no connection to Mass Effect whatsoever yet here we are comparing it.

Tomorrow the new story will be "Why Mass Effect 4 will be better than Super Mario how EA is the best game developer ever buy Mass effect now"

[joab777]

Unless Mass Effect becomes something much different, they won't be anything alike. It's a single player experience 1st anyway. Yeah, I did like ME3'S multiplayer, but unless they are going to build on ot profoundly...

[LordMaim]

"Why Call of Duty should fear CD Projekt's next Witcher"

Makes an equivalent amount of sense.

[DarkOcelet]

In the end though, Mass Effect will never sell like Destiny. Yes, it will sell well but it wont reach its numbers.

[SteamPowered]

Mass Effect has built up quite a following over the last 3 games. Gamers may be a little more hesitant for another Destiny seeing as it was a polarizing launch.

[Sovereign59]

And yet Bioware and EA will still resort to sacrificing the soul of the game in an attempt to achieve such sales. They fight against inevitability. Dust struggling against cosmic winds.

[OrangePowerz]

Two very different games.

[PiNkFaIrYbOi]

Yeah, feel sorta of stupid for reading that rubbish.

[styferion]

I'm more scared of EA turning Bioware into another Maxis

[Xavior_Reigns]

It's been happening for awhile already, except Bioware is showing signs of fighting back. The rEAper is lurking so hopefully ME4 continues on the path of redemption set by DAI, otherwise goodbye. As for ME4 being massive and awesome... it best not be by ridiculous amounts of filler and fetch.

[Tex117]

I guess if somehow Bioware figured out how to code the excellent gunplay of Destiny...then maybe....But that has never been Bioware's bag.

Two seperate games, and we are all better for it.

Destiny was a milestone game in many ways, primarily commercially. It, as a game, is good however, mass effect although likely to never set records in financial numbers, still strong, as a game will absolutely destroy destiny. The fact destiny hasn't bettered a single bioware game released that I can think of within the last 10 years, means its literally a case of whether the devs want to be industry leaders in terms of brand name and then build and refine. Something destiny is doing, or if they want the respect from day one refined games which are regarded as classics forever, but with less financial return, still huge though.

So yeah, $$$ or art? I say produce a work of art like mass effect and reap big $$$ too. Destiny is good, but its a hype machine that is great for business, but Noway a top 10 gen game. Halo, GTA and a few others is one of the only games that's just both factors and off the charts!

[EvilWay]

Destiny was also shit in so many ways

[MysticStrummer]

"mass effect... as a game will absolutely destroy destiny."

Not if the next one is like the first three. Actually, even though I bought the ME Trilogy, I should say "Not if the next one is like the first two" because I finished the first, played a few hours of the second, and traded it in.

not sure why most people here hate ME2 and ME3.

I like 2 more than any other except the resource gathering parts. The only thing I hated about ME3 was the DLCs that started from the first day of release.

ME1 was good as well but not that much different from the rest in my opinion.

I'm glad they tried to change the game by every instalment otherwise we would all be complaining about how similar the game is to Call of duty games in terms of sequels(same game, released with minor changes the next year. like gun skins, maps and etc)

[ScorpiusX]

The difference is ME will have a story & memorable characters and Will not be rinse, repeat game like Destiny is . Out come the defender's of Garbage . Lol

[JWiLL552]

Destiny is an extremely flawed game, but it's still fun. "Garbage" it is not.

I really don't see what Destiny has to do with ME either, they're not the same type of game. People love their FPS games, no matter how great the next ME (hopefully) is it won't change that.

[RedDevils]

Destiny is still garbage no matter how you look at it anyway lol

[OmegaShen]

@RedDev

Yes, because a game that has 17mill players that keep coming means it's garbage uh?

[DOMination-]

One minor difference between the two games is that destiny is complete and utter shite

[Goku781]

Imagine if ME manages to tell a coherent story great graphics andis fun on Top of that? Seems like thats to hard to accomplish now a days though.

[MysticStrummer]

"Will not be rinse, repeat game like Destiny is . Out come the defender's of Garbage . Lol"

"Destiny was also shit in so many ways"

"Destiny is still garbage no matter how you look at it anyway lol"

"destiny is complete and utter shite"

So much exaggeration in gaming these days, or at least such comments would make one think so. Destiny wasn't garbage or… that other thing. Whatever people's expectations about Destiny's "world" were, and I would argue from reading other comments that those expectations were pretty silly, the gameplay was better than average and graphics/sound were very nice.

OT - Destiny has nothing to fear from Mass Effect. People who want solid shooter gameplay will pick Destiny every time. People who'd rather play through a story they can have an impact on will pick Mass Effect every time. Many will buy both. I thought ME was very overrated so if I play ME4 at all it will be later when it's cheap.

[greenlantern2814]

The title says Destiny should fear ME4. Why? Destiny has already released and sold well the DLC has sold well so even if ME4 comes out and sells well how does that hurt Destiny?

[Audey]

I actually like both games. there are similarites that cant be denied. but regardless of fanboyism, they both happen in an area of gaming where i like to be. I'd like to imagine a love child of mass effect 1,2,3 and destiny. a game with a compelling story, a great co-op game type but with a workable pvp system.

Why the hate and "one is better than the other". they both have flaws and Highs. I didnt like the fact they got rid of the Mako in ME2, but used planetary scan. But that's progression for some. I like the size of the co-op maps in destiny, it feels like your actually exploring and traversing through somewhere that's not a box map. Adding the classes of ME to Destiny would make it more an individual experience rather than "get the same gear as every other dude/dudette in your class. and add more variety to the game. pros and cons on each one.

I remember when ME2 was announced and people were asking for multiplayer, whilst others shunned it due to " we cant all be shepards on the same map!!!". I found Multiplayer ME3 a blast. Teaming up and getting some great symbiotic effects in the process. get out of your boxes people.

Like i say, i hope there is a love child of these two names. as they both rock in terms of this genre.
