If you're not buying Destiny, then what are your options?

It's a great year and AAA titles are heaping this year. I've played Destiny beta and I loved everything. I read every where that players are disappointed in the game, I have no idea why nor I can make sense of their opinions. Then what games are you going to buy after you no longer want to buy Destiny? What other multiplayer games are you after?

Massive backlog

I will buy it day one and play the shit outta it!

What year do you think this is exactly? Even the PC is having a slow one.

Civilization and Dragon Age 3. It's been a rough year for me. Only 4 games I was interested in playing and one of them was an indie title (Transistor) that I was finished with in like 4 days. Another is another indie title (Hotline Miami 2) that I will probably be finished with in 4 days too.

I'll be busy waiting for Destiny 2 on PC yaaay.

Akiba's Trip, Tales of Xillia 2, Sword Art Online Hallow Fragment, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, Danganronpa 2, Final Fantasy Theatrhythm, Fairy Fencer f and Hyrule Warriors.

Holy f*** that's a lot of Japanese games, and that is only in August and September.

other options? like... 278 games on my steam library alone

now if you talk about shooters in the same style as destiny? well... there's borderlands 2 and the upcoming pre-sequel so... I aint excactly gonna starve for a nice open-world shooter if destiny doesn't do too well

AAA games? What?

This year has Smash Bros for two systems and Bayonetta 2. Not to mention I still have a lot of stuff to do in Pikmin 3 and Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze. There will always be Ultra Street Fighter IV as well.

i'll wait what my friends say about it..

getting Naruto Storm Revolution first :)

Too many unplayed games to work my way through. I will grab it when I can get it dirt cheap.

Its not that great in the grand scheme of things. I got MWO to play.

I actually want to know if Destiny will require PS+ for PS 4 if it does and it gets good reviews I might pick up the PS 3 version.

Wait. Destiny is supposed to be THE AAA game of the year? ... Man, I am glad shooters are popular still.

Played the alpha. It left a decent impression, nice visuals and played well. But it didn't really stick with me, definitely not for a $60 purchase.

So I won't be buying it. So busy with life at the moment I'm not getting much time to play games, and I have a small backlog to get through before buying more games I'm not 100% wanting.

Borderlands

Not a big deal for me. I have a huge backlog, but I loved Destiny. I'll be playing more for sure. Can't wait till September.

well the beta requires PS+:

• PlayStation Plus required to form a Fireteam or engage in competitive multiplayer on PS4.

Evolve looks like the best game this year so far. Much better than Destiny

I can't wait to play Evolve. It's definitely on my most wanted list!

NBA 2k15 and Smash Bros will keep me busy for many months to come... on top of the ever present backlog.

There are new releases on PC daily. I'll find at least one I'm sure.

I've still got a backlog as well.

I could care less about Beta, final product is all I care about as that's the product I'm paying for.

But thanks for the info just the same.

You make it sound like there isnt anything else to play. OH, you must be a console gamer.

Divinity: Original Sin,one of the best and longest RPG´s in years,Destiny can´t compete with that.
Besides,I like single player games and not MMO´s so I don´t really care for Destiny,especially after the disapointing beta.

If anything i would imagine the beta would be the place to not require PS+, but they might change their minds. As of now, I think F2P games are really the only ones that don't require PS+

I have more than enough games in my backlog to keep me busy even if I did not buy anymore games for a year, but there is still Evolve and Smash Bros later this year that I'm sure will both be way better than Destiny.

While overall I'm enjoying the Beta, if there was something better out around then I'd probably wait to get Destiny to be honest.

hmm, people LOVE halo too and I found all of them poor except when Halo 1 launched in 2001 and that was only good with potential to be better but the better never happened with subsequent titles.

TLOU R, Drive Club, LBP 3, Planet Side II PS4, Guilty Gear Xrd...that will be more than enough to quench my gaming appetite til the holy gaming tsunami of 2015 is upon us.

I still haven't gotten ps+ yet and I've had a ps4 since April and I probably won't get for a LONG time. Not one game I want on current gen has online play and I plan to keep it that way.

Destiny is my 2nd most wanted game this year after DRIVECLUB. But yeah this year is lacking in games. I'll be picking up the Halo collection and Bayonetta 2 as well.

To me it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to chop-up one version of the game behind a pay-wall but not the other. Especially when said game is a MMO and requires always online anyway.......

This isn't the way to motivate people to upgrade their systems, quite the opposite in fact.

Divinity: Original Sin, Wasteland 2 and Pillars Of Eternity have created the greatest RPG year humanity has ever known.

A truly wonderful moment in time.

@fgjnfgh: Halo Collection.

• my backlogs
• games on 360/PS3 I've yet to buy
• Halo: MC Collection
• Far Cry 4
• CoD: AW

Srs? FPS is the most clogged genre in AAA gaming atm. If you don't get Destiny you only have to glance to find another shooter recently launched or coming soon. There's a reason why the shooter bros move from game to game every 6-8 weeks...

Other than Forza which comes the very end of Sept, Destiny is like the only big new game that month. October will be a crazy month though. So if I didn't buy Destiny, then I'm fine without playing games the whole month but I'll make it up the following month.

I'm not buying it until I either get an X1 or PS4, even if it's available on X360/PS3.

I would bet my backlog is bigger than any user in this thread. And yet I continue to add to it. I will be playing Destiny on PS4 or XB1 on launch. The PS3 version of the beta is actually pretty good so if that's what you have, pull the trigger.

I was really looking forward to Evolve, but I saw greenmangaming put it up for preorder at 59.99 euro.

That's way too much for me for a PC game (which normally costs 49.99) and for the amount of content it is said to offer.

Hmnm. My list is:
Evolve
Divinity
Civ Beyond Earth
Rainbow Six Siege
Smash Bros.
Star Citizen.
Splatoon eventually.

And I still have War of the Roses, Nosgoth, BF4, Mechwarrior online, Tribes: Ascend, TF2, Warframe (just got a huge update), Planetside 2, Sanctum 2, L4D2, War Thunder. I can play those games any time and I love all of them and they mostly fill any multiplayer shooting I wanna do in a video game.

I'm interested in Destiny but I'm definitely not 'buy a console' interested. It doesn't look to be that special and if you look at my games it screams diversity. There's turn based, dogfighting, silly fun, asymmetrical, co-op tower defense, large and small scales, super speedy or slow, grindy or no grind, joystick controller m/k, mech combat, tank combat, futuristic, pasturistic, realistic, nonsensical, EVERYTHING. Except laser bears.

I'm always interested in multiplayer games but it has to fill a special place in my library for me to buy it. And it may. Just not enough from what I've seen.

I'm not after multiplayer games.

Got a large backlog of games on Steam that I could play through.

huge backlog, then heaps of games in oct

Lara Croft and The Temple of Osiris.

I want singleplayer/offline games

I got a backlog.

I'm also surprised you don't see any issues in the beta.

Sunset Overdrive, Horizon 2, Evolve, AC:Unity, Middle Earth, Halo... too many games coming out to decide
