(1)And yet sold shity tons copies... why? It is a success no matter how bad you think it is... (2)the most sussceful new IP this gen and the expectation for Destiny 2 are to become the one of the big one sellers like CoD. (3)Review has nothing to do with that... Destiny took a lot of "fan" base from Halo. (4)Even after Halo 5 launch I saw a lot of gamers playing Desitny on Xbone... CoD, Fallout and Battlefront affected more the player activiity in Destiny than Halo 5 and at reset days they are coming back yet... a lot of player on Xbone back this week to play Iron Banner for example. (5)Something Destiny is doing right, no? (6)And yes I believe it took a lot of Halo fanbase mostly due Bungie... people like more Bungie than i343 for example... you can't left Destiny out in any discussion about "why Halo 5 sold bad compared with previous titles?"... Destiny is one key point... more than MCC issues, lack of split-screen, etc. |
Let´s brake it down:
1 - With $500mi investiment it would sell no matter what. TTK numbers should make you woried, it barely reach top 5 in September, a very slow month.
2 - It is cross gen.
3 - Well, this one would deserve a thread of its own. But I will try to be short. Are you saying people that complained about Halo 4 campain jumped to Destiny? Are you saying that those guys for that Reach sprint and jet-pack killed Halo balance? The fan base Destiny took from Halo is the casual and young players. Or people that get easely adicted to loot and shine things.
4 - Anedocte. But... do you have a XBone to keep track of what your friends are doing?
5 - Destiny is a online game that don´t even need a large population to survive. People can play the endless cycle of griding and reward and never experience PvP. It just need a couple of friends. That will likely be as hooked than you.
6 - You clearely haven´t played any Halo game, and might be living under a rock the last year and a half if you belive that. Bungie was under presure since Halo 2, which in my opinion has a far worst campain than Halo 4 or 5. When I first played Halo 3 I had no F*%$ idea what was going on. Reach, which I think is the best overall game, suffered a shitty storm because they changed things.
That´s it.
