[Zee-Row]

I'm a former player. Beat the story and traded the game in. Nothing about the level progression felt rewarding. Raids are boring and I hate the random rewards.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

I really hate that I contributed to this. Still having a hard time forgiving myself.

Hyberbowl.....

 

[Pathos]

And how many remain active?

 

[Natureboy99]

Welp

 

[SmoothRunningGun]

I love Destiny. The raid is the best coop gaming experience ever.

Yes I wish it more content.

 

[Kill3r7]

Impressive numbers.

Although the game was a bit of a letdown, it still continues to hold my interest. I've now put over 200hrs into it.

 

[CozMick]

I'm one of those 3 hours a day people.

 

[Duxxy3]

The servers were reset for the full game.

I still have two accounts from the beta. Characters were cleared, but AFAIK I'm still registered.

 

[HyperOne]

I am sad I was one of them. What a boring game.

 

[yurinka]

I don't understand it. Why do they count also the people from 2nd hand? Why don't they say the units sold instead?

In any case, I'm happy to see that the uber negative gaffer hyperbole is wrong again when compared to the gaming market. Let's believe some day Gaf will be not that grumpy.

 

[Tenki]

Damn, that's one hell of a start for a new IP.

F

That F lmao

 

[dragonflys545]

I sold my copy. It got boring really fast.

 

[Hiko]

Has a ton of potential. I'm already addicted to it. I think a year from now it's going to be a completely different game.

 

[Cornbread78]

Good show, enjoying my time with it thus far.

 

[Kazoo pls]

How many of those 9.5 play regularly?

 

[Fisty]

Assuming they sold roughly half that, id say its a great start to a franchise. Enjoyed my time with it greatly, made some great friends, but now im content to wait for the DLC. Backlog was starting to get REALLY backed up...

 

[EightBitNate]

I hope Destiny 2 is better.

 

[Markitron]

This will probably end up as one of the most traded-in games ever

 

[Ape]

That doesn't sound like sales. I bought the game, so I'm 1, but my bro played it on his account, so nows he's 2.

I'm sure there will be some of that. Still, there's no way it's a significant amount.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

I am one of the registered users and I have long sold my game and moved on.

Spoiler

Personally it has been a massive dissapointment

 

[Fisty]

This will probably end up as one of the most traded-in games ever

Depending on how good the DLC is over the next year, it may be one of the most re-bought games ever

 

[Fliesen]

did you know Google+ has 540 million active users.

Because 9.5 million users sounds far more impressive than 5-7 million sold.

 

[Digital-Hero]

I sold my copy as well, so that is 2 or more accounts used with that one disc.

 

[cakely]

This is going to turn into another shit on Destiny thread, isn't it?

Too late.

 

[sixteen-bit]

F

I understood this reference

 

[barit]

And half of them are already inactive, right ?

 

[OneLifeCycle]

Playing it and loving it.

 

[BotoxAgent]

trading this in for GTA V most likely

 

[E92 M3]

I hope Destiny 2 is better.

Destiny 2 will be amazing I feel.

 

[kiguel182]

I'm one of those registered members and I totally regret it.

Single player is a grind with slim content and multiplayer has pretty much two modes. I thought this game would be my multiplayer shooter for the year and boy was I wrong.

Now that Advanced Warfare arrived I'm totally done with the game. It's two different worlds.

But it sure is a pretty game.

 

[Raven77]

I wonder how much of a hit the community will take now that COD is out. I know that Destiny is going on the back burner for me and my group.

 

[Elginer]

I'm a former player. Beat the story and traded the game in. Nothing about the level progression felt rewarding. Raids are boring and I hate the random rewards.

Ditto. After level 27 I just realized, why the fuck am I doing this? I don't feel any sense of power for gaining levels and I'm just doing the same damn thing over and over again. Sold it feel more than a lil suckered as I bought the CE.

 

[Anoregon]

Destiny is the #1 game for people who are waiting for the game they really want to be released.

 

[BokehKing]

What is there definition of "active player"?

Plays 3 hours a day, says it right there in the OP

 

[Zyae]

I wonder how much of a hit the community will take now that COD is out. I know that Destiny is going on the back burner for me and my group.

And Halo is coming out

 

[Kill3r7]

I wonder how much of a hit the community will take now that COD is out. I know that Destiny is going on the back burner for me and my group.

The clan that I'm part of is still going strong but the holidays, CoD and MCC will certainly take away many players. Although, I fully expect people to return after the DLC drops in December.

 

[KaYotiX]

9.5 million unhappy gamers.

Count me in as one...

I'd be happy if they just released free expansions or even $10 a pop.

 

[Quentyn]

Shocking news: They just confirmed more expansions and a sequel on the call.

 

[BokehKing]

Taking a COD break until the expansion and new Raid comes out, then I'll be right back on it.

The raiding in Destiny > any co-op experience in a FPS for the last 30 years.

The one thing I don't like about destiny DLC is that it has almost too much content

 

[malfcn]

This sums me up. I had a lot of fun with mp for awhile. But then had to push my way through the "story" and things. When I finally got done with the raid.. It was better, but mostly boring and it was still a "That's it?" feeling.

 

[Nirolak]

Shocking news: They just confirmed more expansions and a sequel on the call.

Beyond the announced two right?

 

[computers putin']

Oddball opinion coming up, but I'm glad to be one of those registered users because of how fun the pvp is; pvp is really the only reason why I even play still.

 

[Orayn]

Plays 3 hours a day, says it right there in the OP

9.5 million registered users is an exact figure from Activision Blizzard that isn't precisely defined in the document, 3 hours is their estimate of how many hours per day those registered users play on average.

 

[JLeack]

There are a lot of things I don't understand in this world. This is one of them.

 

[The Lamonster]

There are a lot of things I don't understand in this world. This is one of them.

Destiny: The Potential was an awesome video game.

Destiny: The Reality is not.

 

[Quentyn]

Beyond the announced two right?

Hirschberg was talking about the Dark Below and said that there are more expansions coming after that. So at least one that is not announced. After that he said that the work on Destiny 2 has already begun.

 

[cakely]

Shocking news: They just confirmed more expansions and a sequel on the call.

So, four total expansions? When are they due? 2015?

 

[tbm24]

Google+ didn't cost $60 to register.
