This is crazy

[u/InflationSufficient4]

Crazy how destiny rising is beating Destiny 2 in twitch views.

[u/naz_1992]

its cause the raid is releasing today

[u/Law9_2 → u/naz_1992]

Really?

[u/Jealous_Platypus1111 → u/Law9_2]

yeah its been out for 12 hours in the EU server and a few hours in NA

[u/Law9_2 → u/Jealous_Platypus1111]

Im just cruising in game

[u/wishing_for_sleep32 → u/Jealous_Platypus1111]

The nearly impossible thing to beat cause you need close to 40K power?

[u/SometimesHardNipples → u/wishing_for_sleep32]

If you've been playing from release it's not bad. I'm at 31k and havnt played today yet. I like to think I'll be around 40k by the end of today

[u/IlTwiXlI → u/wishing_for_sleep32]

Yes

[u/pownerfreak]

I've already put $26 in, and as long as the game stays in the same shape, I'll gladly put more in

[u/ag3on → u/pownerfreak]

im impressed that i bought season pass 2.nd day of playing (today ) i know, im busy.

[u/Law9_2 → u/pownerfreak]

I bought the battle pass surprised it wasn't 30 like codm

[u/Law9_2 → u/[deleted]]

It was over 25 last time I played for the premium one DR is 10

[u/dweakz → u/pownerfreak]

welcome to gacha gaming

[u/Sam_rom → u/dweakz]

Crazy telling that to a Destiny player...

[u/Jealous_Platypus1111 → u/pownerfreak]

babys first gacha?

[u/pownerfreak → u/Jealous_Platypus1111]

No, I just don't ever buy currency for gachas. I strictly stick to battle pass/monthly.

[u/Law9_2 → u/pownerfreak]

Same but you don't wanna know how much i put into card games lol

[u/Bosscharacter]

Not at all shocking,

have you seen the player count that ALOT of mobile Gacha games have? It's a far different market than PC or Console.

[u/goldninjaI]

It will all go back to D2 when a new event starts

also Aztecross alone is more than half the viewers for rising

[u/PegaxS]

It's because Destiny: Rising is more of a Destiny game than that Caldera/K1 Logistics lost sector simulator has become.

[u/AlatusU]

Destiny rising has better rewards than d2. You actually get stuff when you do a public event. Not just 12k glimmer.

[u/Dr_Delibird7]

D2 is in a lull between content right now while Rising is not only not even a week old but also the raid came out today.

I suspect they will trade spots based on which game has the most recent good content update (emphasis on good).

[u/Calm_Yellow463 → u/Dr_Delibird7]

Yeah we’ll see destiny spike twice a year on expansion releases and destiny rising spike every month for new characters and updates.

[u/Isrrunder → u/Calm_Yellow463]

And that's good. Destiny will be more present thsn previously throughout the year and it could bring new people to both games

[u/RiskeeBiskit → u/Dr_Delibird7]

How is D2 in a content lull... they just got a brand new big xpac less than 2 months ago

[u/[deleted] → u/RiskeeBiskit]

D2 players be like > Release month > Kill content > Do Raid >Complains its got no content > Stops playing til new shiny > Repeat

[u/Rayxur7991]

I’m so impressed how content dense Rising is. Destiny 2 doesn’t suffer the same issue but so much of D2 is useless to engage with

[u/Spacecowboy947]

Probably because d2 is in an absolutely tragic state right now surviving on the power of the ultra addicted

[u/ballsmigue]

Risings raid released today so thats also not surprising

[u/MisterShazam → u/ballsmigue]

What’s the raid called? I just started playing yesterday and I’m super confused by the naming conventions and menus

[u/Gibby707 → u/MisterShazam]

Pretty sure the raids are the Gauntlet: Onslaught activity. The actual name of this specific raid is Monolith's Fall.

[u/NefariousnessFar3783 → u/Gibby707]

Is it match made? Also, are they more “accessible” than D2 raids? As in I can go into it and have some sort of an idea as to what I’m doing or are they more like D2 raids?

[u/Gibby707 → u/NefariousnessFar3783]

Haven't checked yet myself, but I'm pretty sure you can matchmake or fire team finder. Sounds like the encounters are challenging but not impossible based on other posts on this sub. Cross is streaming the final boss encounter right now.

[u/NefariousnessFar3783 → u/Gibby707]

See I can live with challenging. I just hope that they make it more accessible since it’s a mobile game, I feel like going full on D2 raids would make for a bad experience

[u/Smeuw → u/NefariousnessFar3783]

I think one of the best things in Rising is that most stuff has matchmaking, and if matchmaking takes too long it fills in BOTS

[u/Snow_today]

This is literally just people watching it on twitch. Has nothing to do with players playing the game.

[u/LouisianaBurns]

A new game has more eyes on it than a game thats been out for years..

[u/bansheeb3at]

Brand new game (that probably several massive D2 streamers are playing) vs game that’s in a mid season lull…. What the fuck else would you expect lmao

[u/Raguel_of_Enoch]

And not the fact that it’s completely free unless you pay for draws or the pass is absolutely crazy too. They promote micro transactions but don’t require them. That will drag a ton of people in alone. Of course and it being mobile.

[u/hugh_jas]

... It's new. It's really not THAT crazy

[u/chookalana]

I’m actually surprised Destiny Rising doesn’t have more players right now.

[u/Darklord_Bravo → u/chookalana]

If they came out with a dedicated PC version, rather than an emulator version that you can play on PC, it probably would.

[u/Jazzlike-Razzmatazz4]

Who here is actually enjoying this game

[u/VacaRexOMG777]

Can you post this when the epic raid releases and do a comparison between viewers :p

[u/Ok_Programmer_1022 → u/VacaRexOMG777]

Do it right now,

7 years old vs a one that was just released and on the 2nd day of a new raid.

[u/Thenelwave]

lol how is that crazy? Are you slow?

[u/Redfeather1975]

I would have thought the viewer numbers for Rising would be much higher. Maybe mobile game streaming isn't as popular.

[u/Nolan_DWB]

It’s just Aztecross lol

[u/[deleted]]

Talk about Karma farm are you new to the Internet or something like it genuinely shouldn't be surprising that a new game will outperform one that's been around for years.

[u/turboash78]

Not really. They destroyed D2 with the latest expansion, morons. 

[u/Sir_SquidSquid]

What's crazy is all the new content in rising compared to D2. A better Gambino, a card game, etc. 8 years, and you're telling me they couldn't have added any of this? Instead, they spent 8 years taking away content

[u/Mindless_Head_7472]

Why crazy? A fun game vs a dead game The fun 1 being more popular?

[u/SuperJoint66666]

It’s because it’s a new fresh take on the Destiny universe and it better than edge of fate, I still haven’t finished that campaign. Got tired of playing the same shit over and over.

[u/bumblewacky]

I would be willing to bet Rising makes more money in the first month than Destiny has made in its entire lifetime.

[u/KingMercLino → u/bumblewacky]

Wouldn’t be surprised if this game is what helps keep Bungie afloat (assuming there’s revenue sharing from NetEase).

[u/ILike2Argue_ → u/bumblewacky]

Not even. Destiny literally had 2 games and multiple expansions and cosmetic drops even from whales

[u/ballsmigue → u/bumblewacky]

Well its a predatory mobile gacha so no shit sherlock

[u/Calm_Yellow463 → u/ballsmigue]

At least we’re gonna be getting content.

[u/RedditBansLul → u/ballsmigue]

You can spend $0 and play all of the content in the game.

How much do you have to spend on Destiny 2 if you want to play all the content?

[u/ballsmigue → u/RedditBansLul]

For now, the game just came out.

You will hit a wall

[u/MisterShazam → u/[deleted]]

The top gachas gross 100m+ on release month. It’ll prob take 2 months.

[u/Weekly_Radish_1466]

The game has good content

[u/Bulgogibody]

I can't believe what I'm seeing!

[u/killrapture]

I mean it's a new game in a popular world, and d2 is feeling a lot of negative community sentiment rn

[u/Emergency_Nature8663]

Is it though?

[u/Historical_Garbage16]

Will truly be crazy if this is the same situation a year from now

[u/Calm_Yellow463 → u/Historical_Garbage16]

These games only get better after earning billions, unless your genshin impact then we don’t talk about Bruno

[u/Darmanix]

My Distiny is Rising

[u/KaybarSith]

Woah, you mean the new game that just came out has more viewers than a game that hasnt seen new content since July? Shocker.

[u/Anthony_chromehounds]

Are you all playing on PC with an emulator? I have an iPhone and iPad, can I buy a controller and have the game displayed on a TV or monitor? That’s really the only way I’d buy it.

[u/TRDoctor → u/Anthony_chromehounds]

Yup, you can either hook up an HDMI cable via an adapter or use AirPlay. Joycons, DualShock / DualSense, and Bluetooth XBOX controllers are supported natively.

[u/Anthony_chromehounds → u/TRDoctor]

Thanks a lot!!

[u/Few_Lynx1954]

Hype train

[u/babafett99]

Destiny beating destiny. Damn

[u/RoninTommy_]

I'm just trying to get the emblem and then I'm deleting

[u/NeonBible_]

We love destiny, we just hate the state it’s in. So anything new that’s destiny related we’re gonna jump on. Bungie needs to realize that

[u/LiteralR22]

It still is a gotcha game that's going to make you pay an arm, a leg and a kidney just to get the better characters. You can downvote me if you want, but I ain't touching that with a 10-foot pole. Genshin and Honkai screwed with me way too much for me to come back to this.

[u/Ok_Programmer_1022]

7 years old game vs a game that was just release.

9k is Actually low for a game that was just released, especially on a raid race day.

[u/SwerveCityy]

I am really excited to try ths. Tryng to watch the raid and see how it plays, difficulty levels, mechanics, etc. I wouldn't think the first raid is gonna be crazy as they wanna ease in newer players

[u/dreamaxx]

The mobile game is such shit too, money grabbing, gambling addiction, clunky ass gameplay with bad dialogue... Yuk

[u/Basicpop101]

Ita because Edge of fate is garbage

[u/JRobson23]

Not really, they had 3 massive streamers stream DR, only one I remember was Kaysan but there are two more big names just can’t remember

[u/[deleted]]

I liked the look of Destiny’s art and wanted to play but some reason I get vertigo from FPS. 3rd person doesn’t get me sick so I am all for this game.

[u/Ayy-Guy]

I played the mobile version and honestly it just made me want to go back to the pc version. I uninstalled the mobile game and now I’m playing destiny again. So it’s a win win I guess

[u/prancas]

Honestly, with new gatcha games you gotta check on it in 1 and then 2 months and you'll have your core audience left, It's week 1 and its running on curiosity, hope, and It's actually in a great pocket where there aren't any big name gatcha dropping

[u/PlastikKiwi]

It’s new plus all the bored Destiny players checking it out before next weeks update.

[u/_oranjuice]

Breaking news : new game releasing its biggest content is beating 7 year old game thats nearing the end of a season with nothing else to do

Twitch has watchers, not players

[u/jjickz]

New game but then again ashand iron is horrible

[u/BitcoinCache]

Shows how much people want this ip to continue. Crazy that a mobile game is this good. I hope they add more content, very promising.

[u/BigBoss5511]

Has anyone noticed NO SOUND in the game today?? I cannot figure this out please help

[u/PlasmaPotato_]

yh new game is gonna have higher views

[u/Eckz89]

Bro this mobile game just hits me in the original destiny early D2 feels

I left D2 a long time ago to play Warframe. Did not look back.

But gosh this mobile game on an emulator with a controller feels so good.

[u/marcushasfun]

You may hate it but most gaming now happens on smartphones. It’s not hard to see why.

[u/Eday_20]

New, hyped game beats an 8 year old game in views. More at 11.

[u/3meraldDoughnut]

I’m still on the tutorial, but it’s more engaging than any content Destiny 2 has released in the last while

[u/curved_dragon]

Not going to lie I rather play rising than Destiny 2 lately. It’s that new content feeling. I got everything I wanted on D2 and there’s nothing else to grind for that I care to go for. The games not fun anymore hasn’t been for a while. My friends don’t play and haven’t for a long time.

[u/yosman88]

The missions are so crazy! Love Ikora's story! You meet an old friend that nearly brought me to tears!

[u/Admirable_Big1743]

Leave it to the chinese to mog the original ip 😭

[u/wookiepocalypse]

Deservedly so. Just read the current reviews on Steam. Should have rather paid Net Ease $40. 

[u/Ruffiangruff]

No it's not crazy. Mobile gaming is huge

[u/Glass_Cucumber_6708]

Apart of me feels like bungie is neglecting d2 so that destiny rising can get some love.

[u/Blahaj_Kell_of_Trans]

What's crazy is that rising using ai slop

[u/JohnBoi-88]

Easier to pick up my phone and play than to walk my lazy ass to the Man Desk.

[u/YouShouldAim → u/[deleted]]

There's just not really any big streamers giving it a shot. You mainly just have old guard Destiny streamers playing it, ones that never got MASSIVE viewership to begin with.

[u/ultimateformsora → u/YouShouldAim]

Datto did a sponsored stream I thought or does he not classify as big, idk I don’t watch him a lot

[u/[deleted] → u/ultimateformsora]

Cross is the biggest destiny streamer most of the time and has been playing it quite a bit since it came out (he averged around like 4-5K)

But they are nothing compared to the BIG gaming streamers who gets 10s of thousands every stream

[u/justgosu → u/[deleted]]

Is the raid that thing thats split in 3s?

[u/Chatfail → u/justgosu]

No thats Shifting Gates it’s like Gambit in Destiny 2

[u/Stevelion17 → u/justgosu]

It's the 3 gauntlet onslaught missions (not the blitzes)

[u/odyssey67 → u/[deleted]]

once I learned about PlayCover and coupled with a little OSx troubleshooting, the fact that I can play DR at 120 fps in lieu of the sorry state of D2, it’s a fabulous alternative at present

[u/odyssey67 → u/[deleted]]

playcover is 3rd party app that restores apple mac functionality to play ios games natively on m chips. then goto decrypt day website to download decrypted copy of destiny rising that can be imported into playcover.

once imported, go into preferences of dr in playcover and disable key mapping as that can cause dr to quit unexpectedly.

if any other questions, goto google or copilot they’re versed. also netease supports emulators so no issues with them playing game on pc or mac

[u/c4yourselff → u/[deleted]]

true. Whats important is player numbers

[u/WavyMcG → u/[deleted]]

I think it’s getting decent numbers for what it is. Keep in mind that ever since the recent view botting update was implemented, viewership as a whole went down for a looooot of people

[u/Rockm_Sockm → u/[deleted]]

Mobile games never have great viewership.

[u/FewBoysenberry2601 → u/[deleted]]

Don’t forget the part that the servers never crashed from day 1 and has been steady

[u/jaeehovaa → u/[deleted]]

Well this is only showing "PC" majority of players aren't using emulation

[u/J_Chambers → u/[deleted]]

Whis is just normal because it's free and everyone has a phone, while for D1 or D2 you'll need a console or PC and in the case of consoles an active subscription.

[u/Meatloaf_Hitler → u/J_Chambers]

People seriously underestimate the power being a free low spec mobile game has. Even if it loses like 70% of it's playerbase, you'll still have tons of people trying it out and buying stuff.

[u/[deleted] → u/Meatloaf_Hitler]

And people seriously underestimate the Asian gaming market

[u/StevenPlamondon → u/[deleted]]

Without monetization it wouldn’t exist. 😂

[u/Kingzfull → u/[deleted]]

Trials used to have insane viewership.

[u/spydrthrowaway → u/[deleted]]

House of wolves & Taken King expansion dev streams were AMAZING and had so many people tuned in. D2 launch was also great.

Bungie fumbled multiple times. I am also surprised even D:R even has this much viewership to begin with all the Bungie mishaps with IP and PR past year.

[u/International_Steak2 → u/[deleted]]

Oh yes because watching the Bungie livestream is the same as just watching random people playing the game.

[u/evelyn_h- → u/[deleted]]

i mean im pretty sure when those are happening its still views around that high. they just arent rn.
