Hey guys, first post on here in a while, but I'm needing some help deciding on a game right now. I've played both games when they first came out, but we all know they had too many issues and I just kinda gave up on them. So my questions would be which one has more people playing it, and which is worth picking up a second time?

Thanks in advance!

Understandably so, Destiny is fairly sparse in terms of content but it is only a year old. I've tried it a few times and even got to the point where you needed light to level but it just felt too bare bones. MCC is a great compilation and besides the rare hiccup (levels not loading) it has been a permanent stay in my rotation.

Getting back to Destiny, for an online game, it seems so empty. The main hub seems desolate and the amount of people you encounter seems small.

I made the mistake of purchasing Destiny, that game is more hollow than a black hole.

MCC is a much much better option.

I'm almost tempted to just save my money and wait for the better games like Halo 5, Fallout 4, Gears, and Star Wars. I just don't know if they are worth picking up again.

Tbh I would do that if I were you, but that goes rather down to personal taste. Especially the Star Wars games look amazing, but again it comes to personal taste, so my advice is to follow your guts ;)

@jch30920: As a previous Destiny player, I would recommend Halo MCC. It's a great compilation with a pretty good user base; I haven't ever had to really wait for a match. 343 still supports the game and even releases a few new playlists from time to time. If you're desperate for a multiplayer game, I would pick it up, but if you could wait I would recommend getting Halo 5 or Battlefront, or both.

Rare Replay.

But really, don't get Destiny. It's very grindy, repetitive, lacking content, and just takes up too much time.

MCC is worth owning, but it's not a new game or anything. You might want to save your money. Xbox has a lot coming the rest of this year.

Is this a joke, destiny is far better, halo mcc is crap. It hard enough to find a game, its boring most of the time to. I made the worst decision ever to the mcc xbox one bundle.

I went with Halo:MCC and at first didn't like it with all the bugs/glitches,but it works 99.95% of the time.I never tried Destiny,except the demo and found it pretty good.Kinda wish I bought that too.Another game I think is worth mentioning is Dying Light,never tried it but looks great and got great reviews.But as of now,I'm happy with Halo:MCC.

I own both. I have played more hours of Destiny than MCC (mainly because I already played many of the campaigns and I'm the type of guy who rarely goes through a campaign more than once.) Here's what I'll say for both:

Destiny- a complete grindfest. This is the only reason I've even put a lot of hours into (actually, I had put destiny down for many months and picked it back up a month ago.) Destiny gives you the "thrill" of getting new weapons and gear. It's also got raids going for it, which is something that long time console only gamers have never experienced. Do not get it. You'll invest a lot of time into it and feel empty in the end. Thankfully, I downloaded the game from my friends account and paid for both current dlcs for about $26. I will say that destiny has a somewhat great community, because we all know Bungie won't help anyone matchmake for raids. I also avoid PVP, I don't like it too much.

MCC- currently, it's amazing. Great stories and great multiplayer. An insane amount of replay value, especially if you have played any of the halo campaigns. Get the MCC, seriously. 4 high scoring games with a pretty active community and an active and helpful developer. You won't regret your purchase.

MCC, Destiny became a snooze fest way too fast, the grinding and the extreme randomization of loot...ugh!

Destiny can be used to put a crack addict to sleep, get MCC. Not a huge fan of Halo but at least it is a reasonably fun fps collection.

MCC to be honest, better than destiny, but still has its flaws
