its kind of crazy how if this scene happened in modern destiny youd just start spamming nearly infinitely refundable abilities and kill the boss in under a minute and there would be like no tension
@CriticalApe Escalating.
Also trying to get whatever info possible on pc framerate/stuttering issues.
Need folks to post to help forum on bungienet with pc specs. If you see friends talking about that, let em know for me k?
Thanks bud.
So now that everybody is fired, cheaters are gonna have a field day. People basically only got manually banned before anyways, destiny is about to be miserable.
@SirPickssAlot_ TLDR worried about bungie future, fiscally sound bet from outside looking in seemed to be destiny due to brand recognition, love marathon but worried about its staying power
What’s interesting to me is the marathon commitment instead of a future destiny.
Destiny’s value comes from player recall.
Even though a large number of people have stopped playing destiny, there are literally hundreds of thousands, who would come back for a sequel
Marathon only had about 200,000 people try at launch and now it’s down to 10,000. Even if marathon made the best game, it could possibly make in the future, the amount of players that would come back are nowhere near the same number and they’re not gonna be able to pull new players, too many people have already made up their mind on it. Sony expects a “the taken king” or “forsaken” level of comeback from bungie, siting their success in the past. What’s not accounted for is bungie’s exposure to players for both of those games. They had people try it, they had people to comeback. Marathon doesn’t have that, all they had are eyes, that unfortunately, we’re already set ablaze with disdain before release. Marked for death if you will.
It seems way riskier from a money standpoint. Sony’s stock has been trending sideways for a while now. They’re not happy, but if your goal is to commit to one of the IPs in hopes of making up for that impairment, destiny seems like a way safer bet fiscally. But I’m not a financial expert. So what do I know.
Marathon has had months to prove its own merit at this point and it’s shown it just doesn’t have that power. I love marathon but there is a super large number of people who do not care because of the automatic write off of it being an extraction shooter. Not to mention that now they’ve pissed off the most dedicated fan base in gaming, by killing a twelve year success story. Destiny had halo haters, but it had a lot of shooters as well. Everyone I talk to in the destiny community is literally praying on its downfall. It’s hard to ignore, even if you’re a C suite exec.
@Geezaws2@GHDD12345789014 It’s a pr move, that way it doesn’t look like a vendetta against destiny, those marathon folks were just the unlucky ones to be sacrificed for looks
