Well... for starters it is still selling well. Much much better than a lot of other games that were massively hyped up this year. Also, calling it the biggest disappointment of 2014, despite what you may claim, is absolutely not a fact.


i didnt say that was a fact. it certainly is ONE of the biggest disappointments of the year. if youre going to deny that, then you (not me) are the biased one living in a bubble that doesnt constitute reality. acknowlege destiny for what it is. a decent game that sold the majority of the copies off of hype that a lot of people have enjoyed and are still enjoying but at the same time understand that the game is your standard run of the mill game. just because a lot of people are enjoying it right now doesnt mean that they all think its the most epic amazing shit ever. 

Actually... you kind of did...

we know for a fact that destiny isnt selling like hot cakes because its a great game.

good job completely ignoring everything else that i said and missing what i was saying is a fact.

be realistic with yourself, ill break it down super easy.

first of all, sit in a chair or something, perhaps in a dark room so you can really have an honest discussion with yourself on both sides of this question.

does destiny have 3.2m people playing it because of how stellar of a game it is? hmm.. well, lets see. it isnt critically acclaimed.. so thats out. more gamers have expressed negative opinions about it than positives, so positive word of mouth is out.. an insane amount of money (an amount of money that probably should have been poured into actually making the game) was put behind it for advertising.. so maybe a lot of sales are attributed to the ubiquitousness of it. it has giant names behind it pushing it, which kind of goes back to what i just said about advertising, so yes this game has been shoved down our throats and we have been told so many awesome things about it, so maybe it sold a lot based off of promises. 

so yeah. there really is nothing indicating that this game has sold a significant amount based off of it being a quality title. there is more evidence suggesting that its the highest selling new IP because of.. other factors. that dont have to do with it being a great game. are you really going to continue denying that?
