I think the majority of gamers move on because they are attracted to the new and shiny... and there is a lot of new and shiny these days.

I moved on because the game was a complete joke. I haven't played it since the first month it was released, just like this article says about other players. The game has many problems and because of that I haven't went back. In m opinion too many bugs and problems have gone on for to long and ubisoft took to long to rectify them.

i hate that they nerfed crafting to make the grinding longer than it needed to be..

@Kane22

It made sense originally since they made it so named enemies dropped gold items 100% of the time instead 5%, problem is most of the gear you got was not good which seems to be the focus of 1.2, better gear drops & more of it.

I think thats partly the problem, there are far too many shooters on the market right now that its hard to play them all. And if your game dont come out the gate 100% tight you are going to lose fans. We have Star Wars, COD, Destiny, Division, and the list goes on and on. Im all for shooters, but give us something thats slightly different that holds our attention. Where even if something new and shiney comes along, we will still go back to yours cuz it still offers a difference experience.

This is why I dont buy games at Full Price, I got the Best Buy Gamers Club so I get it for 47 at launch. Also, if you wait a couple weeks to a month it typically drops to 49 to 39.99 and then you can get 20% off THAT. Also, if you pick up a game for 39.99 and it sucks, you can take it back and get most of your money back. I recently got UFC 2 for 31 bucks after all my discounts, and i was able to trade it back to best buy for 30 bucks! Can you imagine if I paid 60??? Wake up people, stop paying Full Price for a Half game.

why didn't anyone see this coming after destiny. Never bought either game, but i was honestly surprised destiny hype lasted so long. If they already have the sequel/dlc planned it's never gonna work. In the end both games dissapointed me with what they ended up being. i think a big game has to have alot of different aspects to keep everyone hooked and neither delivered. They both ended up just being co op shooters rather then the fleshed out modern mmo they could of been. My biggest problem with both of them however, is that they didn't deliver on the scope i think they tried to hype.

take this with a grain of salt since i only played the beta's but that was enough for me to know they wern't gonna deliver

i hate the 60 bucks model (especially when it comes to digital downloads), why can't we have more games at 39.99 or lower, if a game is multiplayer only or a game has a really short campaign, the price at launch should be lower,well at least we have the new ratchet and clank at the right price

ninsigma3667d ago

Well destiny still has a large community so I feel like that's a bad example. The division isn't dead yet either but I get the feeling it won't last as long.
