Not really. What I described is a new low for the gaming industry. And it doesn't surprise me that Activision tries it first. splitting a game into 4 sections to triple the revenue out of one game. That's about as good for the industry and quality of titles launched as is putting you on a cruise ship with Steve Ballmer and expecting him not to get a natural colonoscopy from your tongue.
This is true, but i mean in concept, repeatedly doing the same thing over and over ZZzzZZ - Yet and still hang a new carrot and the masses rejoice.
Sir,..have you heard of this game called...HALO? It just happens to be due out in October and i dont see any way that the combined effort of both systems will outpace Halo sells alone, especially with how Destiny has been of late.
I want you to name one game in where the publisher cut a fully fleshed out and complete game into 2 DLC packs and an entire new sequel launch and split it into 3 packages to make $149.98 off what was (13 months before launch I might add) a $59.99 game that was supposed to ship to begin with.
The Division closed alpha has been going on for a bit now, and its been on slate for 2015 for a bit now, so unless they announce otherwise by E3 id expect it around that time. Halo will be out this year, be it pushed back or not, it already has a confirmed date for now.
Ill just name one from the last month, Dragonball Xenoverse sold over million copies chopped its content into a season pass of 3 DLC's for the exact same amount of money as destiny. Less content in those 3 Dlcs then one of Destinys..
Good luck with the Divison. If they are so confident on a launch date then why not list one in 2015?
It shipped over a million but it hasnt sold that much.
How do you know that Activision told Bungie to cut up their content. Lets see that from Activision and quoted. Otherwise you could claim that for any Publisher.
Who cares, the sales weren't the point anyway. It could have no sales....
I can assure you with 100% certainty that the entire story was convoluted and disjointed because it was cut due to the fact that Activision wanted yearly retail upgrades and they wouldn't have enough dev time to create enough content needed for the next full launch in 2015. So they cut the holes from Destiny to create said content. This game was originally shipping with 25 story missions, 8 strikes, 6 Crucible maps, and 2 raids which actually tied the story together very well before it was sliced into 2 minor revenue "tweaks" and a major uptick in the fall of 2015 with the rest of it.
No I mean the fusion rifle changes that hurt Mytho, bullet spread pattern change.
Get off that anyway, handguns are king in pvp for primary even with the nerfs.
I don't use Mytho in pvp, there are better guns to use. Talking about PvE where the accuracy at range got fucked. They said they were fixing Mytho with that fusion rifle change in the patch notes. Guess they forgot.
