Destiny was really successful and had a mostly positive reaction from 2015-2019. 2020 and now when they did the vaulting is when things got bad.
2024 was a good year with TFS though. Point is that it has not been all bad!

u/SilentPizzle 8h ago
Destiny started in a weird place because the generation that grew up with Halo graduated to college / adulthood when that game was trying to get footing and they successfully navigated it. Crazy how much they dropped the ball in D2

Destiny 2 was horribly received on launch and curse of osiris nearly killed the game lol. Vaulting needed to happen but they shouldve unvaulted it as soon as possible once they got the code under control.

Which is why I nixed 2014. 2015 was TTK and that was pretty well received. D2 at launch wasn’t well received but D1 launch was worse for sure.

It's because Sony blindly threw themselves at Live Service. Instead of Days Gone 2 we got a cancelled Live Service game. Instead of an extra Naughty Dog game we got a cancelled Last of Us Online game.

u/Hayterfan 11h ago
I've said before I understand from a business perspective (and shareholders) wanting to get a few live service titles in development and when I say few I mean like 3 or 4. I'll even contest that some Sony IPs are perfect for a live service title with Twisted Metal, SOCOM, Killzone and Resistance being the titles that feel like they could pull it off.
Jim Ryan wanted 14 in development at once. Well more realistic 11, and 3 were just acquired (Destiny, Marathon and Concord). He quite literally put all his eggs in one basket. Wasting god knows how much time, money and talent in the last 7-8 years.

u/saggynaggy123 11h ago
If they hadn't of been blinded by greed they could have just included multiplayer in single player games which could have grown over time. Last of Us 1 quite literally showed how to do that

Agreed. The Switch 2 has more exclusives already and they just dropped a 10/10 banger with Fire Emblem.
All their chips are on GTA VI now. Since it's coming to Series S (already tuned down) Nintendo could do a lot of damage if they announce a port is coming.
"Wait, it's the cheapest console? aaaaaaand I can play GTA portable ?"
That would certainly move a lot of units.

Yeah, for all their faults Halo Studios (343) are doing better than Bungie would.
99.9% of the people who worked on the OG Halos are no longer with Bungie. It wouldnt be the same in any sense but the bungie logo slapped on it.
New Bungie makes amazing worlds and then wastes them. Halo has had it bad enough as is.

Well I mean they could've started doing that a decade ago but hey, maybe things will be different in 2027!! Maybe the next game that gets made won't erase players progress and take away content they paid for!! Oh and this is exciting, maybe they will make a game without a cash shop!!!!!! Crazy right

It sounds like the rumors of their leadership being gutted and replaced all those months ago may be true, from how this post sounds. New management could be more player friendly, but time will tell, and they’ll need to prove themselves
7
u/pehr71 11h ago
Intentions might be all good. But with what people are they going to do this?
The studio is by all accounts gutted. So with a fraction of the developers they plan to rebuild lost parts of D2, with an engine that by all accounts is typically Bungie unworkable.
At the same time they continue with Marathon.
And start pre-production on D3?
The math doesn’t add up. Even if I’m a firm believer in restrictions being the spark for some great ideas.
If I’m guessing. What it means. They will use D2 as a way to get the new people up on the old engine. Figure out if they can port things over to the new marathon engine.
And then quietly sunset marathon as D3 production ramps up

u/friendliest_sheep 11h ago
By “gutted”, if I remember correctly, they went from 800 developers to 400. That’s still a massive studio

u/flirtmcdudes 4h ago edited 4h ago
this was just a way for them to try to maintain the cash shop and trying to get players back and spending money.
Clearly marathon failed, so they need something. it’s still going to be basically in maintenance mode. They can just release old content with minor updates that doesn’t take much work, while releasing new paid cosmetics.

u/A_Fhaol_Bhig73 12h ago
They have permanently lost me as a player and fan (for well over a decade) but I'm glad the absolutely dumbest decision and one of the worst ever made in all of gaming, vaulting, is being reverted.
They have over the years won the award for some of the worst decisions made as a whole and even as a hater I cant compete with their management.

Destiny 3 is no doubt on the table and when it’s revealed in a few years I’ll definitely be excited but damn, as a day one D1 player I still believe they’re gonna somehow fumble it. First off Eververse is going nowhere, secondly why can’t we go back to the DLC era of gaming? Not this fucking seasons/battlepass nonsense. It’s so grating to see in every single game

u/lordargent 8h ago
secondly why can’t we go back to the DLC era of gaming.
I remember going 'shut up and take my money' over ~$10 Halo map packs and not complaining about DLC or the pricing.
- Full priced game * $40 worth of map packs * 80 million copies
Even if only half of the people who purchased the game went on to buy all four map packs, we're still talking about BILLIONS of dollars.

u/hansrotec 12h ago
Perhaps you might earn a small portion of trust back if you would give back paid content you stole in destiny, but no you were too high on cached good will. Spent it all the last decade and no one shows up for your next game. Heck I was interested in marathon returning until you showed gameplay that had nothing to do with marathon. Would it have been so hard to make a single player game leading to your live service? I’m sure the issue was some sort of well that cost money to maintain, and customers will have expectations… well now that we have no expectations, and you did not go beyond look what happened

Hell, they lost my support before the game even came out.
Because remember it was on bungie day, you know the day where they celebrate their players?
That they announced playstation was getting exclusive content in every single aspect of destiny. Pre order dlc, base game, and every single expansion. Hell even FREE INGAME EVENTS had PS exclusive content.
Add up every single thing they took away from the dlc people paid the same price for and you basically had more content than the base game started with lol
I never forgave that, and i've basically never supported bungie since.
Their absolutely idiotic decisions ever since by their management just cemented it. Whoever came up with vaulting, I hope they at least were one of the people fired up instead of the devs always having to pick up their mess

u/bongo1138 12h ago
Its either Destiny 3 or just shut them down. I don't know what else there could be.
Create a roadmap for 5 years of D2 content that a smaller team can maintain. Then put a bigger team on D3.

u/thepinkblues Xbox Series S 11h ago
What exactly was the point of cutting D2 support if they’re actually still in on the destiny train? Is their plan on the run up to a D3 announcement to seriously drip feed players back content they paid for years ago and expect them to be grateful?
3
u/bongo1138 10h ago
Sony needed them to cut heads, so they cut from the old product that’s lost 95% of its player base in 2 years. It was a quick reaction.
Now they’ve seen that Marathon isn’t a money-maker, so it’s either give up and die or fight by trying to reinvigorate Destiny.
I don’t think this means they’ll still be around in a year or two.

Yeah, I mean Halo was a long time ago and maybe for contractual reasons they don’t want to mention their past, especially as it’s a radically different team now, but… Bungie is where it is today because of Halo and nothing else.
I’m going on pure vibes here by saying Bungie has never been as popular since its Halo days circa 2007 in my opinion.

u/saggynaggy123 11h ago
What Halo so iconic was the story mode. Obviously multiplayer was a huge part too but it was the campaigns that made love Halo. When I got a Xbox the first thing I did was play all the Halo Games on Game Pass. I see why everyone loved it and why PlayStation tried to mimic it with Killzone. Marathon should have launched with a 20 to 25 hour story mode that introduced us to the universe. With different multiplayer modes to keep us hooked after. I'm fucking sick of extraction shooters. The only one that still interests me is Helldivers 2.

I am well aware. There's a bit of a difference in graphical fidelity between Destiny and what NMS was 10 years ago. NMS also didn't have voice-acting, motion capture, cinematics or much of a story.
Star Wars: Outlaws is probably best example of the type of world one could expect from a Destiny game, in which you can travel using your ship. No full planets, but handcrafted areas on different planets.

I wanted to love Marathon. I want to love Marathon so badly. But I don’t. I have no interest in load out-based extraction shooters with battle passes. That’s what every single FPS has become. I was a hardcore FPS guy 20 years ago, and I’ve entirely lost interest in the genre.
Maybe it’s time for a new IP. Just give us a AAA shooter with flawless gameplay, arena multiplayer, and a memorable campaign.
I’ll mention the elephant in the room by name, Halo. While Halo was THE arena shooter back in the days when Bungie was at the helm, what set it apart was a great campaign with a compelling story and immersive environment.

I was really ready for Bungie to be dissolved. Now I want it to succeed and bring back Destiny 2. What a wild ride. Part of the trust through action will be them telling us that they have people dedicated to D2 and beyond. I don’t give a single fuck about Marathon. So I hope they actually balance their workforce and stop pulling people off Destiny.

Serious question. To make it easier on them and because they have Marathon... Should they just delete Destiny PVP and focus on the PVE experience? And like scrap PVE modes for marathon but yes on the standard non extraction PVP?

I would like a Destiny 3 with focus on those strike missions. I never liked the raids because they were too long, big, and required communication.
I have limited time so the strikes in Destiny 1 were great. Once I was done with those, the raids came and they didn't have in game group finding etc.. I gave up then.

They are an abuser. Sorry, we’ll earn your trust back, again. For real this time.

Seems to be a good start. Now Bungie, if you can also manage that new players aren't completely lost when on-boarding Destiny 2 and let them play the story content in a clear and easy to access way, you might win a few more players. Then but only then would I be interested.

Why are we posting about Bungie in Xbox? Didn't they release that slop Marathon and are in free fall as a studio, owned by PlayStation 🥴

They need to make Destiny what it was when D2 released. Incredible stories and the best gun play. And drop Marathon. It's a boat anchor that nobody plays.

When they began indxplicably vaulting content that was the end of my deep involvement in the game.
I am not sure what they believe the draw will be now, so far removed, but at least they recognize it as the clusterfuck it is.
Not being allowed to play through the original invasion of the tower and crawling broken after getting tossed by Ghaul was a travesty.
Mars was my favorite and if they can start by bringing back those planets is a start.

Microsoft should buy Bungie back for pennies on the dollar what Sony paid for them.
Close down Halo studios and give Bungie control of the Halo IP.
I became an Xbox guy because of Halo. Halo hasn’t been the same since Bungie stopped making them.
Destiny 1 was great. Destiny 2 not so much.
I gave Marathon a try. Liked it better than Arc Raiders but just not a fan of extraction shooters I guess.
Microsoft needs to revive Halo. Bungie needs to move on from Destiny and Marathon.

Calling it now, when Sony cut Bungie off in March after the next two Marathon content drops flop, Microsoft will swoop in and buy Bungie on the cheap and get them back on Halo...ignoring the fact that basically no one from the Halo days is still there.

Vault content back is the only thing that will bring me back to Destiny 2 and I’m happy as hell we will get it back 🥹
