Bungie promised a super ambitious game with a lot of content. Nobody expected to get the full experience of Destiny from the beta, but it turns out we kinda did.

It is super ambitious with a lot of content... the Beta by itself was a full game.

And they promised 4 planets like the Beta lol.

Did you expected the final game be different from Beta?

Bungie Dev 1: We created a beta to people play and know how is our game.
Bungie Dev 2: Now the Beta is done we can start a new game for the final product.

lol

i love how the user base is excuse now

Lol, I know right.  I think it's also funny how people think this is not an accomplishment, even though this 1 week of sales vs ~ 6 months of sales.  It also seems Xbox fans are ignoring the amount of advertising and hype that was put behind Titanfall.  Sure, Destiny's advertising/hype was big, but I have NEVER seen anything the likes of Titanfall before.  Probably, because it was the "savior of the One."

Exactly.

Every gamer knew about the game they are getting way before launch... they even played it.


Again, Destiny was hyped as a much more ambtious project than Halo inparticular.

Nobody expecte to get the full experience from the beta. There was belief the final product offered more than the beta.

Yet it got oversold by Destiny at PS4 in just a week.
All the hyperbolics you came across means nothing compared to actual numbers, I came across a lot of those both to TF and Destiny too.
Destiny at PS4 was way more hyped than Titanfall at XBO, and there's already data to prove it.
Numbers always show us the truth.

Hype <> sales

You can have a super hyped game and it didn't have good sales.

Titanfall was considered the Second Coming.

Most hyped game of the year along with 2x the userbase of Xbone, seems like a hollow victory to me.

What?  Really?  1 week vs 6 months?  And Titanfall was the savior of the One.  The reason the One was going to boost above the PS4.  I have never seen a game so hyped in my life.  Not just by the devs/pubs, but also by those on the internet.  Sounds more like people can't accept that this victory is far from "hollow."

Proof?

You are putting your desilusions with the game in the Bungie bag... you need to face a good part of Bungie fans expected the exact game showed in Beta (me included)... and Bungie itself said the game was like the Beta with more content.

You need to realise the Destiny was never supose to be the game you wished... that is not a Bungie issue.

The game deliveries what Bungie idealized and it is huge... the possibilities to be a game receiving expansions like Destiny 1.1, Destiny 2.0, Destiny 2.1, Destiny 3.0 is real and it have the the goal to be the game to be played the whole generation.

Each new Expansion will add more and more things.

Look at my little example... Warframe... look at the game it was in v1.0 and now in v14.0... even the gameplay changed (not that Destiny needs because the gameplay is top notch).

They created a modular game in a rich and amazing universa that only will get better and better.

This is an incredible accomplishment, seeing as Titanfall was supposed to be the ultimate XB1 seller. Rounded up: Titanfall XB1: 2.2 million and Destiny PS4: 2.3 million. The gamemaster is happy.



Titanfall still sold incredible well on X1 alone and if Destiny outsold it in a week then imagin the difference if you compared Destiny to Kill zone or Infamous lol. Ill still play Titanfall over Destiny, I own both games.

Titanfall is doomed!

Hollow victory imo, you can say what you want Destiny outselling Titanfall week 1 compared to X amount of months isn't surprising. I mean the game had over a million pre orders alone in the US (just on the PS4)

Speaking just for myself, I say the battle is over. PlayStation won. There's nothing that Microsoft has done or will do to complete favorably with Sony at this point. The writing was on the wall since before the gen began. It's going to be PS2 level domination. So yeah, based on userbase, even mediocre games are going to dominate the Wii U and Xbox One heavy hitters.

So a game made by Activisipn and Bungie is a given to beat a game made by.... Whoever the hell mad TitanFall. That's just how I see it. Sony fans may want to run it in the face of other console fans but it's pointless. You guys won. Enjoy it.
