Thank you I was gonna type that lol

Destiny 2016 more useless MT less content and a lot more pay to level up/win options

GigawattConduit3851d ago

Be nice if the Guardian actually felt like a character. Also, weapon trading.

Oreic3851d ago

1. Increase price of all micro transactions to "increase the value of gaining your own legend".

2. Require a monthly fee of 60 bucks to "increase the value of gaining your own legend".

3. Require weekly resets of all item progress to "increase the value of gaining you own legend".

4. Finally let Destiny fulfill it's own Destiny and finally shut down its own servers to "increase the value of gaining your own legend".

I am still flabbergasted that people still, not only play this game but actually DEFEND it as some sort of achievement for the industry...

LeoDDestroyer3851d ago

None of the mirco transactions in the game break the game in any way shape or form. Also every game has MTs in them especially mmos which is what destiny is inline with.

On another note I'm flabbergasted that you're flabbergasted that other people can enjoy and play a game you don't. What a world we live when others can enjoy the things they like.

Omeganex99993851d ago

That's your opinion, but what you are saying is absolutely nonsense.

The micro transactions in game don't allow new players to be as good as veterans, since the only thing they do is making you reach level 25 first. You can do that by yourself in 2 days if you play a lot or in a week if you play, let's say an hour everyday. This micro transactions don't give you any edge, don't give you any special power/armor/weapon. What you are saying is absolutely wrong and shows you have no idea what the game is about.

For the hardcore players this micro transactions are not a problem, in fact the opportunity of having new contents monthly without having to pay for them it's actually good for them. Look at the races that came out this month. Oh, wait, obviously you ignore the news that contradict your prejudices.

The truth is that you don't get it. You are not part of the community, you are an outsider who judges the game based on what your idea of what Destiny should have been. Destiny is what it is, it's not perfect but is a hell of a game. The fact that you don't understand it is YOUR problem.

Mr-Dude3850d ago

^ at above, sure keep defending this disgusting method that Bungie has done. In 6 months you pay for weapons. They lied before...

But hey, it is a hell of a game right?

Omeganex99993844d ago

Either you have proofs that Bungie will start selling weapons in 6 months or you should just stop making a fool of yourself.

It is a hell of a game, too bad people like you and the guy above have no idea what it's all about. If only you played instead of wasting your time complaining on the internet...

Can't wait for Destiny 2.

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.

669d ago
anast669d ago

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

InUrFoxHole669d ago

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

anast669d ago (Edited 669d ago )

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

Profchaos669d ago

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_669d ago

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

Gamingsince1981669d ago

Xbox is dead all that money doesn't help.

Hypertension140669d ago

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

andy85669d ago

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

Bathyj669d 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.

Hofstaderman669d ago (Edited 669d 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_drake669d ago

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

so lets not kid ourselves.

PhillyDonJawn669d ago

Xbox was shown to be more profitable than ps

jznrpg669d ago

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

ocelot07668d 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!

Knightofelemia668d 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

Hedstrom669d 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!

XBManiac668d ago

More in the 1.000 million now.

gold_drake669d ago

another Interview?

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

Futureshark668d 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.

DarXyde668d 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.

DivineHand125668d 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.

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.
