  • Seriously?.... OK, Xbox players aren't getting the "shaft". We are getting the game and any "exclusive" will either be cosmetic or limited time. No company wants to develop for multiple versions of a game at the same time so the exclusive stuff won't be anything huge and game changing. Sony is being much nicer to developers this time around and by many accounts Microsoft is not being so nice. It has been said that Microsoft is currently making many of the same mistakes with developers this time around that Sony made with the PS3. I am speculating here but I would imagine that I am not too far off on this.... When Sony came around offering deals for exclusive content and "big title" pushes for the PS4 I would guess that they simply offered a better deal than Microsoft was willing to. Activision took that deal, as well they probably should have. Now when a company signs such a deal the contract simply will not allow a developer to give their competitor the same benefits that they get. (It defeats the point of making such deals to begin with.) This is why you will not see Destiny at both the PS4 and Xbox One events at E3, or any place else for that matter. It also explains why you will probably see PS4 listed as the first or only named console on any given bit of advertisement for the game. We will probably see this from more developers yet given the rumors of how MS is treating them. If this is all nearly as true as it seems to be then MS deserves what they get and they will learn from it (one hopes) just as Sony apparently did. Yet here "we" are, blaming the developer because the maker of "our" preferred console wouldn't pony up this time around. Personally, I don't care which system gets the exclusive stuff. I want both systems to do reasonably well to maintain competition and give us (the gamers) a better product at a better price in the end. I currently own both the 360 and PS3, I had the first Xbox and a PS2, (and more systems going back longer than I care to remember) I will eventually have both the Xbox One and the PS4. The one I buy first will depend on which better suits my needs. All this brand loyalty is slightly mind boggling to be honest. Both companies seek to do their best to drain your wallet/purse of money. You paid good money for those systems and games you have, why do you feel that you magically owe them your allegiance to this extent? I get liking a particular system, group of games or company but I don't understand this hatred for the "other side". Has all rational thought simply left people these days? I remember being taught to think critically about what I was buying, getting the best for my money and not falling into that trap of thinking a company was my very own best friend. In the end, if you like the Xbox One then buy it when it comes out. You will still be able to play the game just fine and probably have a hell of a lot of fun doing so. If you like the PS4, then buy it when it is available you will also be able to play the game just fine and I am sure have the same "hell of a lot of fun" while your at it. Honestly the only people who should be worried or upset right now are the PC folks (yes I have one also for gaming). The game may not even be available on this platform and that sort of makes any bickering about a bit of exclusive content for the other systems seem a little childish. Anyway, instead of going on to Bungie about leaving Xbox players out in the cold and all of that, why don't we think of some reasons why things are going as they are. We may find that what Bungie is doing isn't so bad, won't matter all that much or isn't even their doing. Until we have some sort of real answer this is all fairly pointless and certainly tiring to wade through. Good day all

      [b]For anyone complaining about not getting Exclusive Content:[/b] People need to realize that [b]Bungie is not part of Microsoft [/b]anymore. Sony's [b]Playstation 4 is getting Exclusive Content[/b], that is something we already know. What we don't know is what that Exclusive Content is. Being honest Microsoft's Xbox consoles most likely will not be getting any kind of Exclusive Content. [b]The only bonus content you will see from Destiny is probably pre order specific [/b](Such as pre ordering from Amazon, Gamestop, or BestBuy). [b]Bungie has a strong backing for Sony and it's Playstation 4.[/b] For the first time Bungie is not being forced to create a game for someone else to make money (aka Microsoft). Instead they are creating a game that they have always wanted to be part of and create (a game like Destiny). [b]Please stop with the "We have been nothing but loyal supporting xbox fans, we deserve the Exclusive Content!". [/b]IMO their is a reason why so many game developers have come out of the wood work to consistently compliment and praise Sony (Bungie being one of them). [b]Whatever the reason is, facts are facts. If you want the opportunity to have both Destiny and Exclusive Playstation 4 Content, then the solution is simple. Buy a Playstation 4.[/b] Reminder: This is coming from a pro xbox current generation supporter since the original xbox. Playstation 4 is grabbing my attention (Exclusive Content just so happens to be a sweet little bonus).

        • Xbox players have been getting exclusive games and content from bungie for the last decade, so when Sony gets some extra content it's hardly unfair. I've missed out on the halo series because of that fact, and it annoys me that you think your getting the short end of the stick here. Calm down mate, let playstation have a turn.

            • They are trying to [spoiler]Reach[/spoiler] out to Playstation Players, get over it fool. Also, Bungie sacrificed Halo to get away from Xbox. Seriously, Microsoft said if you want to leave you have to make 2 more Halos and then let us have it. So they pushed out the 2 crappiest games they ever made and then worked on Destiny. Oh yeah they're going to make all kinds of Xbox exclusives lol Also the Xbone sucks.

                • I'm gonna get this on Xbox and I'm not complaining about anything. Some games get exclusive content, we could either get the target console or deal with it. It's all the developer's decision

                  • Bungie probably want to impress PS fans seeing as how it's a new market for them. None of it means that they're forgetting about their fans on Xbox or that Xbox fans are getting the shaft though.

                    • I'm just going to paste this from a previous post I made. "Oh look everyone! It's another person who is coming to conclusions based on almost no information whatsoever! I can't imagine that Bungie is trying to develop a relationship with a population that they had almost no experience with in the past, but would like to connect with through Destiny. That is a truly absurd prospect. Clearly the more likely scenario is that of a passive aggressive attempt to alienate a loyal community that has been with them for a decade. Bungie's repeated show of loyalty in return has been a nefarious scheme from the very beginning to accomplish some as yet unknown goal. I think all of these reactionary simply minded folk are really on to something."

                      • I'm really tired of people complaining about this...they have never marketed to Sony before so they're showing Sony what they have to offer. Bungie has never betrayed Xbox. Seriously you have to think economics or just think in general before you make an irrational statement that has no valid evidence to back the main point up. For example I could basically say Infinity Ward betrayed Sony because they showed moar stuffz at the Xbox Onee presentation! That is not a valid statement.

                      • Buddy boy just relax I for one have been a long time fan of Bungie, everything they do they do for us the fans it only seems like they're giving us up to reach out to the Playstation community but they're really inviting our brothers and sisters they're over to our side, the Bungie side to bring this gaming community together for the best game that will be created for EVERYONE to enjoy not just some of us ALL of us. So relax and enjoy the ride to OUR Destiny.
