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.


Im sure it will be and I wish I had time this year to play it. I just worry about Activsion holding the reigns.  

As for the extra MMO stuff that Destiny is pushing I definately hope and expect that borderlands 3 will take some of its ideas and use them in their own setting (which considering how they were pushing the MMO stuff more in borderlands 2, is the likely path). Clans fighting each other over vaults I can get behind.

Peepee forget the $500mil budget possibly incudes cost of destiny sequels. The $500 million is for the ip not just the game meaning the game can be profitable before hitting 16 million + sales.

your opinion =/= mass opinion 

I never said it did. 


really cus i seem to remember you saying

"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."

projecting you opinion as everyones..... but i guess you never said it huh?

Take it however you want.

Anyways there are probably better ways to go about trying to prove me wrong, like posting threads where they do talk about Destiny hype. Oh well.

Better, but Jim Ryan from Sony saying Destiny will be a cash cow is not exactly a hype thread.

This is more of a hype thread:

It's a gamer putting a game that he loves in a positive light and asking for other peoples opinions or thoughts, not just saying something will make money.
