There you have it, gamers prefer being cannon fodder to being material farmers.

This has gotta be a joke. Destiny's beta was a closed beta, open only to those who pre ordered. Battlefront was open to everyone. If 9 million people played the open beta for Battlefront, then just a couple million more than that will be playing at launch. Destiny had 17 million launch. I know it lost a few players during year one, but the majority stayed and others came during year two. TL;DR? Nah. Destiny isn't going anywhere.

I'm. Destiny is live an well. Not even the super astronomical fan base of starwars can kill destiny. And if Star Wars can't. No one can.
-
Well guess what? I'm playing Destiny and will continue to do so until they stop supporting it.
-
Society tells me i cant play more than one game apparently.
-
I don't think the advertising for destiny was nearly as good. Also. [i]Star Wars.[/i] That attracts a lot more attention on its own than [i]Destiny.[/i]

Battlefront was super meh. I loved the old battlefront for the nostalgia. New battlefront is weird and I focus more on finding the icons for random vehicles and such more than fighting. It was cool to see starwars look even better than the movie, just really meh.
-
Dude, the beta was soooo much fun! I loved it.
-
Battlefront looks like a meh shooter only getting attention from brand recognition and nostalgia.
-
Difference is that the Destiny beta was actually a beta. Battlefront's was a Demo. Enjoy Starwars; Battlefield
-
I'm really happy for star wars: bad company 3, I hope its a really successful game.
-
So? Destiny still has a dedicated fan base. The thing is anything with star wars will automatically have more people drawn to it than almost anything else, even if it's not that good. While battlefront is good, it won't kill destiny.

Name recognition>new product
-
Fallout 4 will be my new game, destiny is just a game to get me to fallout 4 release date

#destiny

Lol no
-
Destiny killed itself on release, stop with these "DURR KILLED DENSITY"

Because it's Star Wars and I assure you there are more hardcore Star Wars fans than destiny has. It was a free beta too, hence, anyone can play. To be completely honest if you're not a drone that blindly supports things..Battlefront is shit! It's Battlefield or Medal of Honor with a Star Wars skin. Yes! It's beautiful but you cannot polish a turd. My friends enjoyed it and I'm happy for them but it's EA and I will not support them and their tactics whatsoever. I don't like criticizing a beta but the game is almost at launch and I'm not giving in to the hype anymore. I'm tired of being disappointed! Speaking of which there aren't any space battles in a Star Wars game?!?!?!? No thanks
-
Wouldn't the battlefront beta count be higher because of PC?
-
Can't wait for all the kickass games coming out ^-^ BLOPS3, Need for Speed, Fallout 4, Rainbow Six, who has time for either of them lol?
-
You can't compare Star Wars with anything new. The whole world is fan of Star Wars since 1977. Destiny is a halo borderlands and few other games mixed released one year ago. This is not a surprise.
-
Rainbow six siege looks pretty fun imo... Starwars? Dice already ruined it

These posts are stupid. I'm stick of hearing "this game kills that game" or "this game is the [blank] killer" no one gives a -blam!-. All it does it show you only play one game and don't know how to play anything else.
-
I'm on destiny, there are still people playing. It isn't dead. How long will Battlefront last? Well... It is EA so we don't know do we?
-
A shit game is the only thing that could kill a shit game. It must be similar tier to help transition of games
