If Bungie doesn't get more than $500 million back on sales, they're in trouble. I'm surprised they even managed to stay afloat after Halo Reach because Halo Reach had it's price dropped in less than a month, at least in my town. Not to mention they released a demo because it wasn't selling. Try to find a demo version of Halo 3 or Halo 3 ODST or hell even Halo 4, they don't exist.
Halo: Reach wasn't a bad game, nor Destiny is. You have quite a huge misconception about what people overall think about the game. The people who complain about Destiny and post jokeful threats such as "I will return the game!" is merely a vocal minority of a much larger player base.Quote from: Decimator Omega on October 01, 2014, 07:51:46 PMIf Bungie doesn't get more than $500 million back on sales, they're in trouble.

Destiny is badly designed and the story is badly written.The gunplay is its only saving grace.
>Brand new IP is a failure with critics and many gamers>Hype for the second installment will be at an all time low>Can't make a new IP till 10 years from now>Staten, Marty, Tung, and many other key employees are gone>Core gameplay probably can't be changed at this point>The foundation for the story sucks and will not get any better (since when has a successful franchise ever started off with a shitty story?)Just shut down the studio guys.

The story is very lacking, but the grimoire cards show that they had a TON of lore originally in this game. All they have to do is actually put it IN the game now. And Bungie has lost notable members, but not ALL of them. I don't expect them to be like they used to be, but I'm not going to pray for their destruction. the future isn't set in stone.

A lot of people bought the game just because it was made by Bungie, but how many people will risk buying the sequel when the first game was a huge let down?
The marketing is what will save Destiny. You guys forget that there are millions of casual gamers out there that'll play it and think it's fine.
Is Bungie screwed for the next 10 years?
