Destiny will do well just being the spiritual successor to Halo alone. The PvP portion of it from the IGN video handles like Halo multiplayer. The bundling, massive marketing and well deserved hype will further ensure it disappoints haters even more than Watchdogs did.

Sounds like the same people that said Watch Dogs will bomb. Have you seen the Destiny preorders already? Destiny will be a major success.

ROFL

reminded me of the Wired preview and the hilarious statement : "If your character can dance, it’s an MMO"

by success you mean more than 16 million sales LT ?

Watchdogs sold 4 million its first week. Destiny will sell at least 50% more than that. 6 million first week, 10 million by the end of 2014.

???

It's the opposite of Halo 2 and 3... Those were purely based on skill, symmetry of powers. Destiny is the opposite, you unlock weapons and powers through the SP and then show-off in PvP. And so many of Destiny's skills feel floaty and imprecise (warlock rockets, jetpacks, etc.)

Is going to sell on hype alone, pre-orders are tracking ahead of Watch Dogs and it has Activision marketing push.

Personally I think it looks meh.

VERY early word was mixed. But the latest word on GAF is that even the current limited alpha (like 1% of the final game in scope) is truly awesome. Complaints are minor (on screen indicators/etc).

That's a tough crowd to please so I believe it's got to be solid. Combined with bundles and epic marketing and this is a home run franchise. Remember that even 10m would be a huge success, guaranteed sequel, tons of new content, etc.

I would just like to know what exactly you consider "CoD numbers", 11M+ like CoD5 or 28+ Million like CoD:MW3 ?

This is the same "fighter" that has had a ken avatar forever, right?

To be brief, I feel sales2099 is more accurate about the market, and he would say he does have a preference.

I'm not saying your opinion isn't genuine, I'm just questioning how you got there.

There are a few things I agree with. The action doesn't look all that spectacular to me, but I've only seen that level where they fight in the cave or whatever. Secondly, you should be more careful about using the word mmo. MMO is nearly synonymous in online speak with MMORPG, and this game cannot be called that. Something only becomes repetitive when it becomes boring. You could call anything repetitive, CoD, BF, Dota, Marioparty.

As for the pvp, I'm sure it will be fine. Just because you can upgrade your equipment doesn't mean the pvp is going to suck. I can't even think of a single game that has a "level playing field" anymore. In fact, I'd even go so far as to say that a 'level playing field' is a relic of the quake, UT days.

My main problem with your opinion, especially with what you said above, is that you aren't critiquing the game, you are comparing the game to other things and arbitrarily deciding that it sucks. PVP not balanced the way halo 2 balanced things, therefore imbalanced. A portion of the game is all that has been shown several times, therefore repetitive.

But of course, you reserve the right to revise your prediction? Dude. Predictions are important. You can't just revise whatever you said away. Predictions are your word. You want to be cautious? Then don't make predictions....because it's stuff like this that has massaged my perception of you.
