If The Division isn't a flop..

It could spell the end for destiny. I'm not one to to say "______ is going to kill destiny", in fact I've never been, this is the first time. but I have my fair share of reasons this time. [b]Bungies lack of planned content[/b] or lack of willingness to give us an idea of what's to come, literally doesn't give players a reason to stick around. Even if the players aren't satisfied with how the game is now, there's no reason to stick around because bungie hasnt given any signs that they're trying to fix anything. Here's what you actually do have to look forward to http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2016/01/21/bungie-announces-small-scale-destiny-valentines-day-event-crimson-days/ https://www.vg247.com/2016/01/25/bungie-sell-destiny-ammo-packs-real-money-microtransactions/ [b]heavy focus on pvp[/b] is starting to deter people who came for the pve aspect of the game and [b]microtransactions[/b] are seeming to become less and less cosmetic which is starting to deter more people because they don't want to see the game become pay to win. Ammo may seem arbitrary (it's sold at the gunsmith and xur right?) but it's a foot in the door for micros that involve weapons. What do you think the next step is from here? Skins? Tess exclusive weapons? To be honest the division can't do much to kill destiny because bungie put it on its last leg on their own. With the division launching in a little over a month, and multiple destiny player demographics in shambles, the only thing the division did was be at the right place at the right time. All it has to do is not suck http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2016/01/24/with-destiny-in-crisis-the-division-has-a-unique-chance-to-steal-its-players/#44e73b534a0b --------------------------------------------------------------------- Edit: so almost 300 comments in and I want to clarify some stuff. I know a lot of people have said different games were going to kill destiny. But this one is close enough for it to actually pull it off. But not by itself. Bungie did most of the work for them. Destiny and the division are both Shooters Open world RPG Loot based Continuous multi-player Blend of pve and pvp (light enabled crucible, darkness zones in the division) Their differences Third v first person Real sci-fi v fantasy sci-fi Many people will be drawn to it for its similarities to destiny rather than its differences. That coupled with the shape destiny is in now can mean an exodus of a large part of the player base. As long as it doesn't suck. -------------------------------------- As for everyone saying bungie confirmed the ammo micro as false, didn't they do the same thing about skill based match making? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Edit 2: 450 comments and I guess I should clarify that I don't mean the division will kill destiny as soon as it launches. If the division does take a lot of destiny's core players bungie is gonna have to build a new one. We can agree bungie has gotten enough bad press to almost deter anyone from destiny on utterance of the name. That being said, new player or old player, they're most likely skeptical of buying destiny 2 and will most likely hold off on buying it until after it actually releases. And when bungie can't get enough launch sales, that's when they die. Because I doubt activision will fund destiny 3 with those results.
