Destiny - 5.8% Of Sony Corp PlayStation Players Haven’t Finished First Level

PlayStation trophy system reports that almost 6% of the players who have played the game have not gone past the first level








Activision Blizzard Inc. "Destiny" is an engaging game to say the very least, with many players who have spent hundreds or maybe thousands of hours trying to get that Gjallarhorn (which is for sale right now at Xur’s). Some players have even complained about the game being overrated and overhyped and not delivering what was expected by the fans.



Regardless of what side of the crowd one is on, Bidness Etc can agree on one fact, that there are a lot of people playing the game right now, even after a year into the game’s release and almost 3 months in from the release of the last DLC.

Despite the large player base, the Sony Corp. (NYSE:SNE) PlayStation trophy system reports that almost 6% of the players who have played the game have not gone past the first level. These stats were extracted from the system by a reddit user.

How does the system report such a stat? Well there is a trophy in the game called “ship rite” and the catch about this trophy is that it is unavoidable and is earned as soon as you finish the game’s first story mission. So according to the PlayStation Trophy statistics, around 94.2% of the player base of the game have earned this trophy.

Bringing topic into perspective and increase its relevance of the representation of the game, the first mission has been classed by reviewers and the community as one of the best missions of the whole game to date. Given that the other story missions are fairly short and lacking in the creativity department, it is a fact that the level design of this mission is far superior than the other missions in the base game. This kind of level design only returned after the release of the game’s second expansion, "The House of Wolves".

Bungie has never released an exact figure for how many players are actually active in the game, but Activision said back in January that the game has approximately 16 million registered users. If one goes by those numbers and attribute half of those to the PlayStation Platform and the other half to Microsoft Corporation Xbox platforms, which is very arbitrary and there is no concrete proof for that, it makes the total number of players on the PlayStation platforms at least 8 million.

And if we go by 8 million, the number of people who have not finished the first level comes shy of 500,000 users. Now this is by no means solid, since there would have been many new players on Destiny since January and PlayStation users should account for more than half of the total player base. One can easily assume that at least 1 to 2 million players of the game have not finished the first level.
