Yup, gotta give it to the game. Such a successful copycat, if only the multiplayer experience was also a carbon copy of Halo's and not a mediocre, casual mess

Halo 3 was truly its peak. People that I know still like it though.

you do realize that Bungie created both games right?

Destiny is nothing like Halo. I mean its an open world shooter with pve and mmo elements.

Halo is like COD in that its main focus is PVP. their PVP better be perfect or the game would be an embarrassment. Destiny isn't only pvp

Still #1 so who cares! It'll sell way more over the holidays.

SpinThatShhh

Some of y'all who treat videogames like pop girls honestly hurt my brain.

It's easier to read GAF than any ATRL thread on PS4 vs Xbox vs Wii U.

No WAY I DIDN'T KNOW THAT
lol

There's many aspects from the mechanics and classes to the maps that are Halo inspired, and I know its also created by Bungie so don't be condescending. Are you gonna claim Destiny also has a great campaign and Halo just has a flat out **** campaign? At least Halo's campaign is decent at its face value and doesn't require fans to pay for DLC to actually fill in plot holes and give decent campaign gameplay for once. And don't act like I'm just assuming all of this, you know I've played Destiny before and used to be an avid player

What do you mean when you say Destiny and Bungie stole their demographic? Doesn't Bungie make the Halo series? I was most obsessed with H3 but then cooled off that garbage Halo Wars came out. Is H5 worth it?

Halo 2 deserved better.

Halo 3 was amazing. I'm probably the best at that one also.

Why would anyone buy Halo when they can buy the prettier more popular sister Destiny?

Maybe because people want to play a game that has depth, colour and excitement?

"Depth" lol you obviously don't read the grimoire cards for Destiny (since you probably haven't played it).

Maybe you shouldn't assume such things as I bought Destiny on release day. I was looking forward to it for quite some time, however it was just very eh.

Glad you enjoy it though, a friend of mine is obsessed with it too and it blows my mind how people can play Destiny for hours.

Multi-player was good though, however considering Bungie made Halo and Halo's multi-player is great, you would expect it to be.

Well then you probably didn't know that grimoire cards exist and Destiny's lore goes beyond what you can imagine.
It really is addictive, I used to play different titles but ever since I started playing Destiny, it's the only thing I play now.

Love how they merged multiplayer with the main campaign, so unique. Maybe you should give it another chance?

To be fair, the other games were sold when their previous consoles had a bigger audience to sell to.

X360 had the same or less numbers as Xone when Halo 3 launched.

Halo 6 will have an increase of first week sales because of this, like already stated Halo 4 and MCC really messed up Halos reputation and Microsoft need to repair that and Halo 5 is doing just that.

Maybe instead of trying really hard to shade, perhaps go and play your Playstation exclusives that seem to be getting rave reviews?

Hot n bothered.

I wasn't even shading just making a joke. I like Halo, and I liked Halo 4 despite what everyone else says. But I'm not getting an XONE (which MS will probably pull as Wii U and end early) to play Halo 5.
