So Destiny is out. I was one of the many people that played the beta and enjoyed it. I also, was one of those people that rushed to pre-order it and went with the Limited Edition. Now the game is out and early meta score are putting it on an a tad above average game. I don't want to start a flames war here, but one thing that did annoy me prior to the release of the game was how much the Sony camp people of this forum claimed full victory for Playstation and how much Titanfall failed. In sales numbers, sure, Titanfall did not do as amazing as Destiny. But the one thing I am seeing is that Titanfall is in fact as good as Destiny just based on what is available to us from the current version of it. You can argue all you want that Destiny will have more content as the time goes. But also, that content means you're paying premium for it which negates any negative smack people said about Titanfall.
So, in the end, I think people did buy too much into the hype of Destiny because it had a great company behind it. But it definitely is not the killer game for Playstation. Those that haven't purchased Destiny will probably start seeing reviews or hearing word of mouth regarding it. I know I talked to one of my friends today while walking at work and how the game hasn't really sold me as much as I was hoping while playing the beta. If I were to guess right now, people will not buy the DLC in masses as much as Activision hopes once the full reviews come out and assuming it stays at it's current levels. In fact, I think I have more hope of Titanfall having a huge success with its sequel than Destiny would with it's expansions. What do you think?
Peace out!
