It is a success no matter how bad you think it is... 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. Review has nothing to do with that... Destiny took a lot of "fan" base from Halo. 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. Something Destiny is doing right, no? 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. |
Its a new IP relying doing the same old thing. Bungie left saying they didn't want to just make Halo games, but the truth is they wanted to own Halo so they cloned it.
At its core, Destiny is a Halo game except you grind shitty levels over and over. Also some of the worst PvP compared to Halo games. It was one of the most hyped games of the generation and did poor among critics because it sucked. To stimulate sales the game hit the bargain bin rather quickly as well. Good sales doesn't change the fact it was an incredibly disappointing game. It doesn't look like Taken King is bringing in a lot of people either.
You say Destiny took fans from Halo... but maybe some people play both? Shooting fans play shooting games. Your anecdotal evidence isn't worth much to me. My anecdotal evidence shows people got tired of Destiny and didn't buy Taken King.
People complain about Halo 5 and say 343 sucks. But last I checked Halo 5 is better product than Bungie's current game. Even if the Halo 5 campaign was short, it was more satisfying than what Destiny has offered. Destiny is a poorly executed Halo MMO.
I pre ordered Destiny simply because it was a new shooter by Bungie. If that was a Halo game, people would have said Bungie sucks now and gave it even lower scores for no split screen. :-p
