Destiny and Battlefront are trash. Cant argue with Counter Strike.. Its definitely a high standard but the actual gameplay is far better than anything else on this list.

basilboxer2957d ago

They are somewhat old games now but Id give a shout out to Titanfall and Team Fortress 2.. Even Battlefield 4.

gamerpop2957d ago

Thank God The Division wasnt on this list :P

Perjoss2956d ago

Its not a first person shooter.

Perjoss2956d ago

I guess no Overwatch on the list as its not really out yet, but damn that game is a lot of fun.

InMyOpinion2956d ago

What a joke with no Battlefield entry. I'd put Bad Company 2 on my list without question.

CS:GO fans now frantically dusting off their Xbox 360s as servers are still online

One of the only ways to play CS:GO on official servers is via the Xbox 360 version of the game.

4 or 5 players in a game is not players frantically dusting it off

Jin_Sakai261d ago

We all know that videogamer.com went to each and every Xbox 360 owners house to watch them frantically dust off their 360s.

Vits261d ago

I mean it is a 1000% growth in the player-base. /s

mandf261d ago

Enough to write an article though. N4g new owners are insulting us for click revenue

Vits260d ago

@mandf

Nothing to do with new owners. N4G has always been the trashcan for game news and discussion.

northpaws261d ago

I love video games so much that I never have the time to replay the old one that I have finished, my backlog has only gotten bigger and bigger. I don't get how some people can play one game for years (except for mmorpg)

mandf261d ago

It's an exaggeration to the extreme. A way making an exclusive seen grander than it is.

Profchaos260d ago

Some people do I know someone who only ever plays dune 2000 which is rarely but still

RedDevils260d ago

Those Fifa or COD players do that every years.

Inverno260d ago

Wonder why they've never ported this game over to last Gen and now current Gen. This game would be pretty popular right now, I think.

Destiny Made Over $160 Million In Microtransaction Revenue In Less Than 2 Years

Destiny has made over $160 million in MTX revenue, and these numbers only account the data from late 2017 to early 2019.

Sgt_Slaughter384d ago

That's extremely low for microtransactions, especially for a game that's essentially designed around it

LucasRuinedChildhood384d ago (Edited 384d 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-ro384d ago (Edited 384d 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.

Sonic1881384d ago (Edited 384d ago )

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

Kurt Russell383d 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.

buffig384d ago

I think FIFA alone makes over $1bn a year from mtx

anast384d ago

FIFA promotes a worldwide sport. It should make more money than destiny.

CantThinkOfAUsername384d ago (Edited 384d ago )

Let's compare something similar. Apex Legends and its ridiculous $18/$40 skins make EA a billion each year.

z2g384d 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.

spicelicka384d 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
