    Also, regarding Colonial Marines, there's a weird group of people who actually seem to like the game as evidenced by the Mixed score on Steam. I just don't get it. I didn't see anything salvageable in that wreck.

    Now this I tend to agree with. Though massively hyped as well and off to a great start, it did suffer from a dismal 94% (or something ridiculous) loss in their player base.

    Yeah, I've seen the 94% figure thrown around a lot.

    For me personally there just wasn't anything to bring me back to the game after I hit max level. I could hunt the DZ for better gear, but why would I want to? So I can use it to keep finding even more powerful gear?

    Destiny is in no way a failure. For the price you paid, compared to how many hours I've played makes it by far the best value game I've ever bought.

    Division on the other hand, done and dusted within a month.

    Rugby 15 is another game that failed miserably.

    You're right! I didn't pay a single cent for Destiny, yet you got many hours of enjoyment from it. Bargain of the century, I'd say!

    I wouldn't call Division a failure either. I've put 80 hours into it and loved every second of it. And most everybody I know that got Division shares the sentiment

    Yeah I completely agree with the statement. 120 hours worth of entertainment is great value from R600. BUT... I think from a fiscal point to lose a player base by 94% has to say something about their game plan ('scuse the pun).
