Why are so many people on this forum in denial over the success of Destiny?
I see threads on here day in day out about how Destiny is a complete flop and that Bungie are gonna have to dump this series and move on to something else because it is so unpopular.
Yet when you look objectively at the criteria for a successful game, Destiny is one of the most successful new ips in recent memory, in February it already had [url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-31161845]16 million registered users[/url]. In comparison, Watch Dogs (another successful new ip), which had similar hype to Destiny, had only sold [url=http://www.ubisoftgroup.com/comsite_common/en-US/images/pressrelease_downloadablemm_20150212_050959_ubisoftq3fy15englishfinaltcm99193930.pdf]10 million[/url] by the end of 2014.
In case you need any more proof of Destiny's success, log on to your XB1 (if you're one of the few who has one) and look at the 'top games right now'. It is guaranteed that Destiny will be in the top 5, it's usually top 3 and ahead of Advanced Warfare. MS's flagship franchise Halo rarely even appears in the top 10.
To summarise, the rabid Destiny haters on this forum need to give themselves a reality check and stop making themselves look stupid. Your personal opinion on the quality of the game has no bearing on its overall success.

2 RepliesBecause it's one of the best games out there right now, and it's typical for the best games to receive the most criticism. People don't whine this much about other games because people don't care enough to whine. Destiny is under a microscope, so all its flaws get magnified. That being said, it's also partially just good ol' fashioned bandwagoning. People see others complaining, see the attention these complainers get, and want to replicate it in an attempt to be cool. Further, it's just the nature of these forums. Typically, people are going to be more passionate and more likely to speak up on an issue that they feel negatively about. If you're happy with the game, you're going to spend your free time playing the game. If something about the game upsets you, you want to go complain about it. That's where these forums come in.
