no, it will sell EXTREMELY good because it's incredible. BenV's impressions are awesome, and everything I've seen says this game is going to rock.
By the end of 2015, Destiny will reach... | |||

| Euphoria14 said: Could you link to these "impressions"? I ask this because from what I hear it is the complete opposite. In situations like this you usually need to provide some sort of substance when you make that kind of claim. |
on the one hand the two reviews I trust the most (especially Gamekult's):
http://www.gamekult.com/actu/e3-2014-destiny-les-impressions-de-lalpha-A133571.html
http://www.wired.com/2014/06/destiny-alpha/
and then there is all the gameplay footage which really gives you an idea of the game
the only significant thing missing to see, besides the mid- game and end- game which are currently locked and will remain so until final release, are the interactions among gamers
gamekult talks a bit about it though
Wired guy plays FPS, complains that it's an FPS? Okay.
Gamekult says it will have a hard time standing out from WoW and Guild Wars 2? Seriously? Those are completely different kinds of games. And that's after saying that they think the FPS is repetitive?
Both of those people sound like they just don't like FPS to begin with, or are desperate to criticize. In particular the comparison to Titanfall is silly, as Destiny will have easily hundreds of times the content that TF does.

Welcome to the chat room!
Helix36: looks boring tbh
Senemparu1: I'm still so unsure how I feel about this game, feels too much like Halo imo
Helix36: getting ps+ won't give you a key, you would've had to sign up before lastnite
Thectrlaltgeek: Cohh I didn't know you played Defiance
Lostkaos: This will be F2P?
Mcdanglesalot: i havent gotten an email yet, i signed up, whats going on?
Speedslayer1: i did
Speedslayer1: still no key
Bonzaibier: theCtrlAltGeek,
Fugginbewm: Hey Cohh, may I add you to PSN?
Ichigeki1: this game is made by the company that made many Halo games, its going to look and feel like Halo
Ajcummings10: not of those r made by trion
Helix36: codes starting going out 2 hours ago
Svelan: tyrael hardline is really just a reskin honestly. with one or two nee modes.
Speedslayer1: maybe i will have one in the morning...
Jmspldnl: anyone have the link for sign up?
Pestilencena: hey cohh an update on the Rust development: They're reworking how building works. Instead of carrying around building pieces, you lay out the frame of the building and then bring the resources to the frame the construct it.
Svelan: *new
Thectrlaltgeek: So far it looks and feels like Defiance to me
Lurkiestmonstro: Rift is complex in the sense that it has A LOT of content.
Ajcummings10: both of thosemare made by trion
Vylestyle: cohh, you going to play beast of prey again? it received a 3rd patch yesterday.
Kzeroffthree: i assume this matrix music isnt actually in the game
Senemparu1: I know @ichigeki but you would have thought they would have tried to make something new after so long >_>
Iandude1: everquest is ftp too and better than those heh
Riusc42: Defiance is a shooter?
Colinsgaming: cohh. crap im too drunk. how about watch dogs for xbox one? if I can't get it using your link for xbox one would I be able to use an xbox controller for pc version?
Ofekbark123: hey cohh, how much does this game costs?
Lostkaos: PS4 exclusive hmm
Xslowedx: looks like halo
Ajcummings10: hey cohh i reccomend trying out trove its another game by trion and its in alpha right now
Fugginbewm: looks like halo but the gameplay is very different - in Destiny you are different from your opponents - different powers and guns at different levels - random and imbalanced
Gallifreyan205: Why make something new when what they used to make worked so well
Rexking1811: Lol that kill smack him
Oceanisbossjr777: Are you exited for gta v non next gen And PC mods
L9nux: This looks similar to Planetside 2
Pbowl: Cohh, does this just feel like COD with a different skin?
Paralysekid: Guise is Destiny open world?
Xharceil: chase him! take his lunch money!!
Soggypenguin: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS!!!! just got my code
Fugginbewm: is your name on there CohhCarnage?
Helix36: the planets will be open world
Emotionalplague: cohh so I'm jot convinced this should be called an alpha. Generally alpha is the stage when much of the fluff is still be worked on and only the most basic mechanics are implemented. Do you think Alpha is more of a hype tool rather than an actual stage of dev now?
Ichigeki1: it is new sene, for the single-player/co-op but why drastically change a multipplayer style when you know it works, just use Halo template and tweak combat and such, which is what they are doing
Senemparu1: I dunno guys, still got a bad taste in my mouth from titanfall honestly
Speedslayer1: soggy u are in europe?
Epileptic_cheese: Cohh you should try Divinity: Original Sin such a Good RPG
Vylestyle: repost: cohh, you going to play beast of prey again? it received a 3rd patch yesterday.
Thectrlaltgeek: I've been better Cohh, but looking at the bright side of things til they figure out whats wrong
Bonzaibier: Fugginbewm, Cohhsauce
B1gb4dc0w: cohh srry but did u say Defiance or Destiny ?
Craz3ed: Colinsgaming, the PC verson does support Xbox controller
Mr5ax: bk later
Bpbear: Cohh, is THIS space engineers?
Mythandeer: Are you actually a Bungie/Halo fan, Cohh?
Zenkaneda: alpha is definitely a marketing stunt
Bonzaibier: !gvc theCtrlAltGeek
Zenkaneda: this is technically a beta
Goodvibecannon Target theCtrlAltGeek locked.
Itsgameovrman: looks ok, not great so far.
Goodvibecannon FIRE!!! ----> http://i.imgur.com/yjDAYTd.gif
Senemparu1: Lol @bpbear
Gallifreyan205: Yeah yeah zen
Lostkaos: this is arena, but coop in this game seems very cool
Ohchrisis: as the beta is coming july or something, this should be considered ealry beta or late alpha
Zenkaneda: an alpha this late at development and released to the public makes no sense
Helix36: the beta will have more in it
Misterfibble: beta got twisted by marketting to the point where they're starting to abuse alpha
Colinsgaming: cohh u know. for your help I think I still have enough money to subscribe....I think
Smyg3l: good evening come!
Storminski: This seems a bit generic fps with nothing new? am I wrong?
Goodvibecannon: theCtrlAltGeek, You were target 12 today.
Dkbomb_: What happened to play archage cohh?
Smyg3l: come=cohh
Zombigearhead: bay a ny gun=P
Xmattx711: Do u have extra codes
Bonzaibier: !aabreak
Cohhilitionbot: Cohh is NOT done with AA - He's taking a step back from AA to not burn out on it - He will return periodically and with full force on release!
Speedslayer1: will the beta be Free for all or its only for the ones WHO preporder?
Xmattx711: U can give me
Xharceil: you won lol
Kzeroffthree: you won
Moepel1: W
Riusc42: uh this game is not for PC
Lostkaos: you won
Epileptic_cheese: !g2ac
Refer to BenV. More trustworthy because he lives up to his exceptional rep here.
thank you fighter for completely leaving out the positive impressions. Using twitch chat as a basis for an argument, bah.
Comeon on man..if it makes you feel better, the second iteration will probably be on PC.
I also wanted to bring up another point. Activision investing so much money into a franchise isn't stupid. Same logic can be applied to the release of a new console, or with the release of the Tomb Raider reboot and Sleeping Dogs. They take initial losses to recuperate them overtime. Will Activision profit from this game alone? Maybe. Will it make up for it in subsequent sequels and DLC? Most definitely.
Literally no one cares about this game unless it is brought up for fear of failing. Case and point, look at any thread for Destiny here. I think it's going to sell pretty abysmally unless they drop that game in a dry spell when no other AAA game is being released or near release.
Nah, this game is going to be massive.
I know a few people who are waiting for the Destiny bundle before they pick up a PS4. This game is going to move a lot of hardware as well.
