Mass panic over... $15 bucks. Lmfao
2 breakfast sandwiches - $8 bucks
Redbull $3.30
Girls coffee $2
Around $4 bucks in gas driving to work.
Before 9 am i spent $17.30 by default. This is automatic. By the days end I'll be minimum $35 in.
Yet people are complaining they got a bare minimum of 50 hours of entertainment (it will be way more) for $15 bucks? You feel you were OWED a raid? No. I'm sorry to break the news to you, but you aren't OWED anything. In the game, or in life.
Take you're imaginary girlfriend to see a movie, two tickets are $25+ all day...for [b]an hour and a half of entertainment[/b]
There's a new mode, that every single one of you whining, babbling, cry babies are completely dismissing before you even know what it is. How bout you shut the -blam!- up, man up, grab your balls and stop being such spoiled little self entitled muts to society.
[b]EDIT. Alot of comment are pouring in with people saying things like "if I ordered a steak and potatoes, but got no steak I'd be pissed". Of course I would, because I ORDERED that. Video games are not -blam!-ing made a la carte. They are made by companies, pre determined, and we buy them. We don't customize them before purchase.[/b]
[b]EDIT 2. Did anyone stop to think maybe bungie is delaying the raid so people don't jump head first into it, and actually get to enjoy all the new, hard worked content first? Just a thought.[/b]
[b]EDIT 3 my favorite one of all. This thread generated a ton of response, way more than I expected. What I like is that the vast majority of the responses are level headed people who agree. There is hope.[/b]
[b]FINAL EDIT - I see a lot people turning this into my "spending habits are flawed" if I knew what I was doing with money I wouldn't buy the game type of thread. I hate to burst everyone's bubble, but spending habits and budgeting are RELATIVE to what you earn. Video games like any other leisure are an EARNED RIGHT. I'm 31 now, and from 18 to about 26 I didn't even own a gaming console. Growing up when I lived home with mommy and daddy and did, because it didn't matter. Once I got priorities in order,in put games down for almost 8 years. Now at 31, I've set myself up with a years of hard work that I can sit back and enjoy my leisures comfortably. If i gamed as much in my 20's as I've been in the past 3 months I probably would have lost my job eventually. $30 a day on misc items may be a lot to some people, and I respect that, nor do I look down on you for it. I happen to do well for myself, not because of luck or having things handed to me...but because I busted my ass and made tons of sacrafices. So no, my 20 to 30 bucks daily wasn't the point of this thread. The point was if you had any respect for work, man hours, and a dollar, you'd understand that 15-20 bucks for the content that you're getting is WELL WORTH IT. Don't give "bungie promised me" bs either. Don't be mad at bungie for believing an unofficial leak.[/b]

1 ReplyYou are very right. Although I somewhat disagree with your assessment of other people's views of the DLCs, I willingly admit the amount of value received from $15 was excellent. But I would argue that the "cry babies" you refer to (I am probably one of them) don't look at it like you think they do. I for one do feel like I've gotten my money's worth in entertainment, but that is not my issue. And since the product is not marketed to me to pay for it's full value myself (which would be impossible since it cost many millions to make) and is instead sold to many millions of people, that is not a good way to look at it. That game should be viewed from a more intellectual property standpoint (content=money) rather than physical goods (money=enjoyment). My issue is with what has seemed to me and many others to be the general lack of intellectual honesty in their marketing. It has disappointed us. They said there would be things in the game that weren't there at release, while announcing DLCs shortly before release. I have no problem with DLCs. I paid for them. But they should have at least said that the DLCs weren't new content, but content locked for future use since they showed much of it as being in the game. That may seem like bs to many people, but I hope it doesn't. The mere fact that so many people have taken issue with something as simple as this, should show it as an issue I would think. It wouldn't affect anyone negatively if Bungie would've said there was content developed and locked as DLCs. But instead they showed much of the content in marketing with no mention of DLCs. Again, we have no issues with DLCs and their cost, but the delivery of content.
