I really don't like this guy.

Gazondaily3680d ago

Yeah I know right? He seems really annoying. I know I can be a bit over-bearing but screw watching that.

This person is really into the way they talk and just beyond obnoxious.

Nobody ever told this person to their face that the way they talk is really annoying.

I feel bad kind of, because he's genuinely excited about a potentially awesome game.

It's not even the accent, it's just the WAY he talks.

He gave good info though.

In Bungie I trust, I really can't wait for this game. The iPhone case looks really slick by the way.

ExPresident3680d ago

Really don't like the headline here. PvP in Destiny is one of the things I really, really wanna know more about. Defiance failed me in that aspect and I really wanna know how Destiny is going to handle it. This video told me nothing about the PvP and honestly nothing that I haven't already seen or read, besides the package contents - which do look nice :)

Lilrizky3679d ago

Apparently if you check out that long 40 minute video I think titled "everything we know about Destiny."

The PvP is going to be in certain areas of the world, and is going to retain that Halo feel but offer perks and abilities to switch up movement. (e.g. double jump, levitate, slide) I can't exactly remember what they said but there's a good tidbit of information that'll get you excited about it. I'm totally confident Bungie will deliver on that front regardless

Destiny Made Over $160 Million In Microtransaction Revenue In Less Than 2 Years

Destiny has made over $160 million in MTX revenue, and these numbers only account the data from late 2017 to early 2019.

Sgt_Slaughter337d ago

That's extremely low for microtransactions, especially for a game that's essentially designed around it

LucasRuinedChildhood337d ago (Edited 337d ago )

This was back when the game wasn't free to play.

The figures are from November 2017 to February 2019 (1 year and 4 months).

Based on that projection, the MTX revenue for Destiny 2 likely would have been closer to ~$240m for 2 years.

Not sure if premium expansions are included in that figure either although ... I'd hope that they are though and that most of the revenue was for actual content like Forsaken.

People spend way too much money on cosmetics.

Rude-ro337d ago (Edited 337d ago )

Seasons($10 and just got bumped to $12) and dungeon keys($10 each, two a year) are through the eververse(micro transaction) store.
So for those two years, in order to play a season, you would pay through micro transactions.

Bungie Marathon will be worse since it's designed around it as well

Kurt Russell337d ago

It makes me sad to agree... but at the same time I am looking forward to giving it a go. Destiny 2 is so far in, I find it difficult to figure out what I am meant to do first.

buffig337d ago

I think FIFA alone makes over $1bn a year from mtx

anast337d ago

FIFA promotes a worldwide sport. It should make more money than destiny.

CantThinkOfAUsername337d ago (Edited 337d ago )

Let's compare something similar. Apex Legends and its ridiculous $18/$40 skins make EA a billion each year.

z2g337d ago

For as much as ppl complain how much they hate microtransactions, they sure don’t act like it. No wonder they aren’t going anywhere.

spicelicka337d ago

By "people" you're referring to millions and millions of people. Obviously the ones complaining aren't necessarily the same as the ones spending all that money.

There's millions that purchase MTX and there's nothing we can do about it

I've been thinking about playing through D1 again before it goes away...

CobraKai488d ago

That’s the sad reality of a game like this. I bought it, invested lots of money, and it can go away at anytime. I still think this was more fun than 2.

jeromeface487d ago

prob because 2 is a grindfest slog

spoonard485d ago

That's the bummer of 'games as a service'.
