One does not choose a destiny, his destiny is bestowed, shaped and formed, from the soul.

Like, does the future of their company rely so heavily on destiny or do they have some cushion?

I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?

If they hype the hell up out of Destiny and fall short, it will probably hurt.

Don't doubt Bungie!

I'm not doubting, I'm just wondering how high the stakes are

Key

Yes. That's like asking if Empire Strikes Back was make or break.

Well since they are a studio that makes a game every three years (two after Destiny) having Destiny flop would be bad news for them.

Since their studio has a considerable reputation, plus the advertising that Activision will put into the game it should sell pretty well. Personally I have faith that it will be as great as the hype and they will have another massively popular franchise on their hands.

I have faith that it will be good. I mean, it's Bungie.

I don't think it will be make or break. It certainly wouldn't be a good thing though if they happen to fall short of expectations.

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

Make or break... possibly. Do they have a cushion? Not really. But Bungie failing is not going to happen. They have a super talented team with a huge amount of experience behind them, and have enough time for pre-production to iron out an amazing universe.

Plus they don't have a bunch of rabid fans that will scrutinize every single feature comparing it to previous iterations. Why? Because there are no previous iterations of Destiny to compare the first to. We are still a bunch of rabid fans... but everything we see will be a new excitement to us. We will have little bias.

I'm the cult of personality,
I call it like i see it, if i feel the need to be blunt and to the point, then i will, if i feel the need to be very detailed, i will, im here to stay and im here to do things my way, if you respect that or not is your choice, not mine,
and don't worry, while i don't agree with everyone's opinion, i do respect everyone's opinion.

I don't doubt there ability to make another great game, but this is there chance to prove to the entire industry that Halo wasn't a one hit wonder.

So yes it is make or break for Bungie. imo.

I would be surprised if they didn't have some sort of plan for if Destiny 1 didn't do great sales-wise (which should really be nigh improbable); however, if they don't, I would pretty much say that it'd be Realtime Worlds all over again.

Not with a bang but a whimper.

After dropping Halo, yes, Destiny is make or break. If they fail in launching their new IP (which I doubt they will) it will be hard for them to stay on their feet as a competitive developer.

You've got to think crazy, of course, because you only get innovation by refining insanity. - Jason Jones

There is never a "cushion". Not knowing the specifics of the agreement with Activision, we don't know if the game(s) need to reach a certain score on Metacritic, need to sell so many copies, etc.

What makes or breaks Bungie are the people who work there. If they, for an instant, think that what they're doing is the greatest thing ever, then it won't be. And if that's the case then fans will stop buying their games.

Bungie can last forever, so long as they continue to innovate and keep from becoming complacent.

And do you know what keeps them going? We do. If it weren't for the fans cheering them on, or letting them know what they've done wrong, that'll be just what happens.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

They have been working on it for years now. If destiny fails then I personally may surrender.

I will dominate everyone!... Except for the ones that I won't...

Let's not forget that this IS Bungie after all. If Bungie plays their cards right, (which they will) one of two things could happen:

1:This will be the best MMO game in the history of gaming
2:This will be one of the best MMO games in the history of gaming

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

Until I'm given some details, my faith diminishes by +2%/month.
