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.) |
There is no SP.
Its ALL online.
It might flop on the XB1 but it won't flop on the PS4.
The PS5 Exists.

? The detailed revenue model for Destiny is not fully known. Right now some modes at least do require the PSN/Live subscription and there is obviously a specific agreement between the platform providers and the publishers on sharing part of the sub fee and part of the control of the revenue models. Otheriwse how could a publisher financially sustain a persistent universe to keep evolving ? My prediction about Destiny becoming free-to-play later simply means that the entry price will be non-existent at some point in 2016, meaning you can download the game and play at leat part of it for free. |
DLC and microtransactions, microtransactions out the ass. Essentially the free to play model with an entry fee, like the guild war mmos. And again, both bungie and Activision have said on numerous occasions that they would not charge a subscription fee, which could change you never know, but right now there is not a shred of evidence to suggest they will implement a subscription.
Destiny is going to sell great. It's Bungie after all. I am sure after being locked into Halo for more than a decade they have a ton of unused ideas that didn't fit in the Halo Universe. It's going to move systems for both Microsoft and Sony. It's the biggest New IP launching this year and the pre orders already show it.

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. |
Yes, I've had the ken avatar forever.
Yes I'm criticizing the game and I don't understand why you have an issue with it:
Is it because you disagree with me on the features and gameplay that we know of ? I stand by all my observations and I don't see what changes they can do to fix that before launch (except maybe the AI which sucks in the frequent outdoors but seems good in the rare closed environments - i'll update that end of June depending on the eventual fix and how frequently you get in-doors)
I see your point regarding the eventual MMO to MMORPG confusion and don't worry. When I say it is very light for an MMO i mean it.
Is it because of the the Bungie factor ? If yes obviously Bungie has an amazing reputation and this is why actually I do not take it into account :
They are doing things completely new to them gameplay-wise.
The production values are Halo-esque (UI/ Universe/ Music / graphical precision etc.) but the gameplay you have to admit is absolutely not similar to Halo. So don't be surprised if I don't give in blindly because it's Bungie.
And yes I reserve the right to revise my prediction by end of June. I might just revise the numbers and I don't see what novelty/improvement might be implemented in such a short delay to change the overall perspective.
Rest assured that I i'll still predict a flop and a free-to-play model by 2016.

I don't see the contradiction with online.
Campaign would also be inaccurate.
Would SP/Co-op make you happier ?
Example - "you can't even play PvP until you've unlocked a certain level in the SP/Coop".
So... Uh... Where are all of the recent negative impressions mentioned in the op?... Still waiting to see them...

It will be interesting to see how this stacks up against the new COD, which I think is still the sales leader in FPS right?
That being said, I never would have given Destiny or Halo much thought (was strictly COD), but I am loving Titanfall which certainly has the more futuristic theme. Then again, I have too much of a life for a MMO or whatever it's called... I know Bungie says this will support those of us with lives but not sure I believe them... to what extent will it support me? I don't want to get owned when I want to play 30 min per day on average just because I haven't logged 400 hours into the game and leveled up 1000x

Well your point was wrong regardless you do not only gain unlocks from exploring as you implied... You gain them from every gameplay mode you do including pvp...
Also... People who are actually playing the.game clai it's very skill based, for example, shots to the head causing far more damage than shots to the body
