How long until we see Destiny competitors?

- Start date
Not so much from what we've seen I don't think. The Division looks to fill that role better.

Friends made me stick around for about that long as well. I quit just after the second expansion hit. Not worth the money to me, even though I'm pretty sure I have over 50 hours clocked.
It's ok that the following content wasn't worth the money to you, but would you say that having played the game 50 hours you feel "ripped off"?
from the e3 demo (not sure if this year or last) it looked like your typical survival game. the whole setting screams survival.
i don't pay attention to most games outside of E3 so i didn't know PvP was only in select areas.
No one will ever opt for the pretend when you can have the original no matter what they say. (except Kobe fanboys)
I fail to see how Borderlands is a competitor to Destiny. You could make a case for Warframe, but as far as FPS games with MMO-like elements, there's nothing really out there yet as far as I know.

Lol have you played the two games? Destiny is basically MMO lite. War frame is not like that.

Destiny is not the first of its kind.
True, but on consoles it pretty much is.

Phantasy star online - dreamcast.
It's the first success story of its kind though, no?
Yeah, but that's not FPS. Hellgate London existed at one point but it bombed.
is...is the Dreamcast a currently relevant console?
is Phantasy Star Online currently a "competitor" to anything?
We're talking right now son and right now Destiny is the first kind of game like that on the consoles that are being sold and played and matter in the market.
Also, Destiny is a shooter, PSO is a third person acion RPG.

There are not many developers that can match Bungie when it comes to gunplay. It's pure bliss. It's the only reason the game is still popular after having so many flaws at launch.
I'd love to see Destiny competitors though. Need more games like it to push the FPS genre forward.

Realistically, there are so many similarities, the only difference is the fps thing. And yeah possibly, pso2 is out. Just not in a wide enough market. So they way I see it is destiny is the best performing rehash of an idea.
Wow
Is PSO2 out on PS4 and XBONE?

It's amazing how much better that game was than Destiny at pretty much everything related to the online portion of the game.

Destiny is the best MP experience released in a long, long time.

I don't know what's wrong with the dudes in charge @ Bungie, they take 1 step forward with the initially great TTK, then start taking steps backwards with the smaller patches.

Well this statement is completely wrong. And obnoxious.

You mean the whole point of having the conversation at all?

The setting does, but there's really nothing survival about it mechanically.
It's speculation at this point, but one of the logical steps that a Borderlands sequel could take is making it an online co-op shared world ala Destiny. In a lot of ways at a very reductionist level, Destiny is basically Borderlands with an online shared world.
Personally, I'd be cool with it as long as it didn't lose the story/quest elements. One of the main reasons I have a hard time sticking with Borderlands is because it feels like it's meant to be played co-op with complimentary classes, but you can't do that without matchmaking directly with friends. A shared world or a more open match making system would solve that.

It's already been said, but when Destiny came out it was already modeled after Borderlands in my eyes. The rpg/fps genre is definitely a popular one though.

I think The Division will be the closest thing to a competitor. This is from a Day One, alpha Destiny player and I know some other people on the community side mentioned The Division taking them away from Destiny as well.

I have this love/hate relationship with Destiny. I bought into the hype last year and absolutely adored the game for the initial couple months. I mean, warts and all - from the terrible voice acting to the RNG. The controls, the concept, and the direction felt awesome and right. It was the first (and last) time I bought a season pass, sight unseen.
It wasn't until the first expansion that I lost all those warm feelings when I realized they weren't really supporting the game with noticeable additions for single player. I half expected them to unlock complete new maps (other locations on earth, new planets, new zones to planets) with each expansion. I guess that would have been asking a lot with the cost of development and manpower. Also, not a huge fan of MP so that's on me considering it is/should be a major focus to a game like Destiny.
What I am saying is, yes, I would love competitors to draw from the lessons learned in Destiny but I just see it as being a lackluster DLC treadmill that's slow to updates and expanding the core game.
End note: I am warming up to the idea of purchasing TTK to see if it feels like a larger game.

Wow, you are one of the salty guys who thinks games they dont like are only popular because of marketing money.
Just as funny you probably think if WiiU was advertised more it would sell bucket loads...
Thats really funny.
I play destiny, there is nothing fighting for my attention.
Division will not make a big splash. What is a day 1 alpha player got to do with it, you either play TTK or you left before Destiny got really good
Destiny looks great, sounds great, and plays great but is still an average experience for the most part. Ttk did a lot to help but all of it is just band-aids on the horrifically flawed original game. If the next Borderlands can avoid some of Destiny's missteps, it'll be where I spend a lot of my time.

The issue with Borderlands is that it's just not a very good shooter. I love it, but dear lord the actual shooting mechanics are pure jank.

How do you know, have you played the TTK ? Does not sound like it
Allot of people here giving personal reviews and have not played TTK.
Its funny how all the anti destiny posts are from players who dont play now...
I liked borderlands, shooting was awful, bad graphics, great music, no servers and too many bugs and gun duping.
You probably haven't played warframe in awhile. There are two cities that are the equivalent of the tower called relays at this point and there's a proper 8 person raid. It's definitely mmo-lite at this point(it even has public chat), minus the almost pointless shared world bits in Destiny

Actually, Defiance beat Destiny in terms of similar gameplay, loot,.etc.
As a matter of fact, some of the things Defiance did I noticed Destiny did /used
like random timed public events, dance emotes, armor and gun upgrades, vault space, and
personal vehicles. I'm sure it's pure coincidence though.
That said, anyone wanting a "Destiny" type game should check out Defiance.

Well we all stopped playing for big reasons... I tried again with the update right before ttk dropped... =/ felt even more jipped.
Anyway though. Those who are still enjoying it. Kudos. Its a beautiful game.
The open world events were a pretty neat idea that Destiny also used to a lesser extent. That being said, I didn't really like Defiance. Then again I didn't like Destiny either.

Borderlands is already there. And like others have said the Division. I can't think of a game that adds both PvP and PvE like Destiny though. But I'm not jumping back into a game like Destiny until we hear if Destiny 2 has more content and less balancing issues.
I've finished almost every piece of content in Destiny and hit rank 5 in this week's Iron Banner this morning. By all means, provide your evidence that everyone criticizing Destiny has never played the game. Alternatively, don't bother posting if you don't have anything intelligent to add to the conversation.

Borderlands does not compare, from what I know the Devision seems to have a lot of similarities.
Unfortunately what I played of the Devision was pretty bad
What?

The day 1 alpha player was to state that I've been in the "Destiny community" for awhile and The Division has been discussed as the game that would make the biggest splash compared to any other game and it is true.
