Why are so many people on this forum in denial over the success of Destiny?
I see threads on here day in day out about how Destiny is a complete flop and that Bungie are gonna have to dump this series and move on to something else because it is so unpopular.
Yet when you look objectively at the criteria for a successful game, Destiny is one of the most successful new ips in recent memory, in February it already had [url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-31161845]16 million registered users[/url]. In comparison, Watch Dogs (another successful new ip), which had similar hype to Destiny, had only sold [url=http://www.ubisoftgroup.com/comsite_common/en-US/images/pressrelease_downloadablemm_20150212_050959_ubisoftq3fy15englishfinaltcm99193930.pdf]10 million[/url] by the end of 2014.
In case you need any more proof of Destiny's success, log on to your XB1 (if you're one of the few who has one) and look at the 'top games right now'. It is guaranteed that Destiny will be in the top 5, it's usually top 3 and ahead of Advanced Warfare. MS's flagship franchise Halo rarely even appears in the top 10.
To summarise, the rabid Destiny haters on this forum need to give themselves a reality check and stop making themselves look stupid. Your personal opinion on the quality of the game has no bearing on its overall success.

1 ReplyI actually really like Destiny. But here's why; Destiny was made to attract the FPS genre's players. It did. However, it also attracted the RPG genre's players. This caused two groups to play the game with vastly different expectations. Destiny has four subforums to itself. People who love Destiny usually stick there. The people who Destiny died for came here, to the Gaming subforum. Most people access these forums through the Destiny Companion app. They get hooked on the forums, but then Destiny dies for them, and they stay on the forums, but they come to Gaming, and Offtopic, because the Destiny subforums are of no interest to them.
