Destiny: It's Time To Go Back

If Destiny 1.0 was the seed, then this expansion is the fruit born of it. There are and still will be growing pains, but it’s time to go back into the rift. Destiny 2.0 has arrived and the game deserves your attention once again.

Well that was weird. Your article listed things wrong with Destiny and didn’t really give any reasons to go back.

GrimDragon3914d ago

Lol what a terribly written article. I stopped when he said light is no longer a factor lol. Boy is he in for a surprise.

gums0073914d ago

So you left Destiny because you "wanted more" and were "let down". You also mentioned your lack of friends (not astonishing) being the reason you couldn't participate in the Raids. Pretty much what you are saying is you didn't have the intellect to go online and find people to play destiny with where there is a huge community looking for other people like yourself = http://www.destinylfg.com/

Please don't write about a game when you skipped the sole purpose (RAIDS) which is the heart of destiny.

Go back to call of duty broseph

InsipidGhost3914d ago

Hi Gums! Thanks for reading! I think my point is that I shouldn't be expected by a developer to reach beyond their game in order to find a group to play in their content. I've used DestinyLFG plenty of times, but I don't award Bungie or Activision with that credit.

Vault of Glass was alright, but I never took that or any other of the content to be sole purpose of the game. I thought the sole purpose of the game was to have fun...something Destiny 1.0 failed to do with longevity.

warczar3914d ago (Edited 3914d ago )

I guess you never herd the George Bush jr. saying about not getting screwed twice. I played destiny religiously in the beginning, so much that I have full vault gear for all three of my guardians. Then the dlc dropped and I realized what actibungie was really trying to do with destiny; chop 1 game up into so many different pieces that by the time people are done purchasing every piece, it's cost them more than 200 dollars. Did the witcher not put anything into perspective for you? Can you imagine how much actibungie would have charged for the witchers free dlc? I can't see how a self respecting gamer could ever support actibungie unless they are paid by them. You want me to jump back in, let me know when actibungie is actually done making the game then I might consider getting it used.

Chaosdreams3914d ago

Destiny is for those who enjoy Cod.

Don't kid yourself.

Mikelarry3914d ago (Edited 3914d ago )

Nah im good. Everytime a new destiny update some gamers fool themselves that this update will make destiny a better game but it doesnt, goodluck to those still playing but bungie and activision with all thier actions have made it clear this game is not a title i want to support

InsipidGhost3914d ago

Very logical and respectful response. Admittedly, I felt the same way for a long time. It wasn't until really diving in and researching the new content that I started to come around. It'll certainly be tough with Halo and Battlefront in the shooterspace (not to mention COD, but that's never been for me). Also plenty of other great games apart from shooters...great year for gaming.

jdiggitty3914d ago (Edited 3914d ago )

I'm sorry to break it to you but all those reasons you stated still exist for TTK. You are still going to have an issue finding raid partners as before. You'll level to 40 in about an hour and get through the story quests in one sitting. I completed the arms day gun challenges in less than 30min. The first two levels of Court of Oryx drop BLUE gear and you have to play the 2nd level 3 times to access the 3rd. Yeah, that's not going to get old quick.

I've played extensively, and right now my LIGHT level is the biggest problem I have. Wearing the best gear available now, my super is on a damn 5minute cooldown and I can't get a grenade charged by the time I need it in crucible. Rift blows.

You're going to abandon this game again for just the same reasons as before. Also, I would NOT recommend anyone start in at this point as you are literally wasting more than half of the game in the year 1 content. And that's coming from a hardcore Destiny player. By Dec 1 this game is going to be done.

Honestly, if you don't feel you have an obligation to a clan or that you've already committed too much time in it to not complete the "story", I'd just play MGS V over again a couple times till something else comes out.

MasterD9193914d ago

You want more? So does Bungie and Activision's price model...

The_KELRaTH3914d ago

When just the TTK DLC costs more than Fallout 4, MGS V etc it's time to call it a day.

He paid billions for Starfield. This should be the real story.

Microsoft bought all of Zenimax Media for 7 billion, while Sony paid 4 billion for Bungie. I think Microsoft got the better deal due to acquiring Fallout, ElderScrolls and Doom.

anast634d ago

This can't be true. They only bought Starfield...

InUrFoxHole634d ago

@anast
Should've thought that one out buddy, lol.

Yeah, I thought it out. I'm not sure you did. But since we are buddy's now, you're welcome.

So you're saying that Microsoft has missed out on so many huge gaming franchise in the last 25 years from GTA exclusivity to guitar hero and destiny it's just laughable they had so many misses

Reaper22_634d ago

Yea, but they're still 100 times more wealthy than Sony. I would say it worked out well.

Gamingsince1981634d ago

Xbox is dead all that money doesn't help.

Hypertension140634d ago

What has work out well? It sure as hell had nothing to do with Xbox.

andy85634d ago

That isn't because of Xbox though. This is a gaming page, not an I get supplemented by father Windows page

Bathyj634d ago

Microsoft's money has nothing to do with Xbox.
Xbox is a money pit to them they would love to ditch but are after some ROI first.

Let's face it, Xbox is like a red headed stepchild that steals from you to buy drugs.

Hofstaderman634d ago (Edited 634d ago )

MIicrosoft is NOT XBOX. The current situation illustrates this. And Microsoft wants its ROI.

@Bathyj and daddy Satya has just force admitted Phil to rehab.

gold_drake634d ago

you know why MS has so much money, and it aint cause of the gaming xbox branch.

so lets not kid ourselves.

PhillyDonJawn634d ago

Xbox was shown to be more profitable than ps

jznrpg634d ago

@PhillyDownJawn not more profitable. More revenue with ABK acquisition but them going multiplat shows they are not making much profit

ocelot07634d ago

That's great for Xbox gamers ain't it that Microsoft are more wealthy than Sony. Is that really a argument use are using now lol?

Imagine me in my job. Arguing with a fellow security guard at another company. Hahah well the company I work for is worth £800m the one you work for is only work £600m!

Knightofelemia634d ago

Microsoft may have more money but Sony has the talented studios and the games to back up those studios.

Plus turning down Marvel too. Spiderman is only exclusive to Playstation because of that

Hedstrom634d ago

Best deal deal in gaming must be when Sony bought Insomniac for 229 million dollars. They made over 800 millions on Spiderman for the ps4 alone. Thats just crazy!

XBManiac634d ago

More in the 1.000 million now.

gold_drake634d ago

another Interview?

how is he the only one who loves the spotlight as much as he does lol

Futureshark634d ago

Let's not forget he also famously passed on Spider-man, Genshin Impact and GTA3.

However it's almost kind of cute how he can keep that sh1t-eating grin and say he's a 'no regrets' kind of guy, especially when you think how much just these 5 titles could have swung the world in Xbox's favour instead of Sonys.

How he's kept his job I don't know, he must sure be keeping Papa Nadella's shaft warm somehow.

"But, but Gamepass, he introduced that!!!"

Yes he did, and now look at Xbox, all it's exclusives are coming to Playstation now rendering the platform obsolete.

DarXyde634d ago

Honestly, with that kind of track record, you can't convince me Spencer hasn't eaten it from the back in the name of self preservation. Probably unwashed...and at least twice.

That aside, my interpretation of everything here is Xbox has been mismanaged a bit too much and Nadella came down from his throne. The way it is now, I don't believe for a minute the multiplatform move was Spencer's idea. I don't even think the acquisitions was Spencer's work. At this point, I reckon he's got as much power in his role as Hunter Biden at a Ukrainian energy company.

DivineHand125634d ago

You can never tell how things will turn out if he had said yes to those games. Xbox already has access to some great IPs, however, they hardly do anything with them or fail to deliver. It's also possible their presentation wasn't good at the time, and they made sure the next presentation was better.

I believe that part of being successful is releasing things in the right place at the right time.

Many major corporations have a story similar to passing on successful business ideas. Let us look at Sony Pictures for example. Back when Marvel went bankrupt, they had the opportunity to buy the entire Marvel for only $25 Million but turned them down. An unnamed big shot at Sony reportedly claimed that “nobody gives a shit about any of the other Marvel characters,”. They ended up taking Spiderman for $10 Million instead.

https://www.avclub.com/sony...

Fast forward to today, we can see what the Marvel brand has done for Disney. Is it possible the same success would have been possible had Sony acquired those IPs. We can't say that for sure and it is possible most of those IPs that are successful today may not have been used.
