I didnt think Watch Dogs was going to do as well as it did so I suspect Destiny will do just as well if not better. I really underestimated the ability big companies like Ubisoft have to get more mainstream gamers attentions and I suspect Activision will be even better at it.

Speak for yourself, games this ambitious don't come along often, or games with this much attention to detail and care.

The game feels a lot like Borderlands to me, not sure if Ambitious is the word for Destiny. Probably more refinement than anything.

How is it like borderlands? It's not much like borderlands at all, more like an MMo, Me and halo combined. Borderlands ia a straight forward Sp game, with co-op. Destiny is a huge Open world MMo, with raids, perssitent worlds, MMo mechanics,  etc...... I

both are very similar in the fact that you level up, collect loot, and go through missions with other friends. It most definitely resembles Borderlands in multiple ways. Add on a Halo aesthetic, a new world, and PvP, you get a game that feels different but familiar at the same time.

This game will be remembered, but Game of the Generation is really stretching it. I wouldn't even call Destiny a true representation of a current-gen game. It definitely still has a mixture of last gen-ness.

every MMO and RPG has levelling up and loot, it is mroe like a massive MMo, doesn't feel play or have any mechanics from borderlands, again it's way mroe MMO, ME and halo.

Correct me if im wrong here but I thought  you had 6 people in one world at a time in Destiny?

Borderlands has a huge world, co-op, raids, loot, RPG mechanics, MMO mechanics, PVP (One area Destiny will probably obliterate borderlands in, gearbox should really do some work here)

They are very similar and their is nothing wrong with that as I love borderlands and was going to grab destiny until the pre-sequal got announced.

Like every MMO for the last 20 years, Destiny is way more like MMo's then Borderlands, borderlands is not huge compared to MMo's and the raids are nothing like in destiny, more then 1 fireteam can match up eventually. Borderlands never invented Levelling up, loot, raids lol, MMO's did. it plays nothing like Borderlands outsdie the Loot levelling, which destinys is a lot more MMo focused thenn Sp co-op like BL.

All im saying is that it reminds me a lot of Borderlands. Im well aware Borderlands didnt invent any of that stuff, simply added it into a FPS setting (which has probably also been done before).

I get what your saying but mechanically it doesn't feel like Bl at all, many of the impression on the GAF impressions thread was people saying they were surprised it is not much like BL at all. either way doesn't matter, looks like the game is going to be excellent.



This will be a huge game commercially. There is tons of hype and Activision will fuel that hype even more leading up to release. It's also releasing at a prime time. End of summer, nothing anywhere near it for a couple months and people are going to be clamoring for something since there are really no other AAA games coming out this summer.

However, will it hold the attention of gamers, enough to buy future add-ons and a sequel in a few years? But then again, does this really matter? Titanfall was a commercial and critical success, but just because people got bored of it after a couple months, does that make a game a failure? I don't know anyone playing GTAV anymore, but are they calling it a failure just because no one plays it anymore?



I sure hope it flops

So you're saying the shooting mechanics do not resemble Borderlands..at all? We're not saying Borderlands reinvented the wheel of looting and raids but it's hard to ignore that they both definitely share very similar mechanics, more so than any other MMO released thus far. Yes, the social mechanics in both games are different, but you can still take a team of your friends to go through a quest where you fight through a multitude of adds before fighting the last boss for loot. You're being really specific in your comparisons, but when you zoom out and compare it holistically they're similar. It's a combination of different elements from different games.

Borderlands not huge? Um...it's a fairly beefy games in terms of landmass.



If it were any other publisher, yeah I would also consider this as a flop. But we are talking about Activision here and if a want a game to sell that game will sell.
