So I just learnt that in addition to Bungie restricting three full sets of armour, two weapons, three vehicles, an entire multiplayer map and an entire -blam!-ing mission (in which Destiny is in desperate need of) to a single platform, they are also locking away exclusive content in the DLC as well... this is just ridiculous and unacceptable! So, let me get this straight, if you're not playing on Playstation, not only will you not get the entirety of the game after paying full price, you won't even get the entirety of the DLC after paying full price for it either? Any chance of me purchasing Destiny has quickly evaporated. The more I learn about Destiny, the less I care about it, and the more I learn to despise Bungie. Every single Weekly Update--including this one--is filled with damage control and/ or Deej--or Urk--trying to spin some bullshit on the 7C due to lack of features in Destiny, or to circumvent disappointment. Bungie is now very insidious, which is a far cry from what I would have said about them during the Halo era. I mean, come on, I know that you guys are gonna give me hate (again), but do you honestly not see how bullshit some of this stuff is? Hell, I'm even talking to Playstation fans, while you guys aren't being negatively affected by this as much as Xbox fans are, can you not see that some of the promises are quickly starting to form into blatant lies? Some of you are going to pass this off as trolling because of how vocal I am about my disappointment, but I really am finding it hard to believe that I am the only one who can see this... To everyone who is calling me an Xbot, bashing the Xbox One, telling me that I don't like Destiny because I suck at it, or are just hurling tactless insults, congratulations in being a shining example of what I have to look forward to if I ever do decide to play Destiny. The 7C is now a festering cesspit. The original members who operate under the bounds of logic and reason are in the decline or are just overshadowed by the incredible number of idiots; for every reasonable comment--in which I respect greatly--there are two moronic ones. If you're reading this and are one of the members of the community who had a reasonable discussion with me, I thank you. You give me hope that the 7C and gaming as a whole aren't doomed. Edit: I will not be replying from here on out. My endeavour to voice my concerns and outrage was successful from the moment that I clicked 'post'. I have no intentions of arguing with anyone in the comments section below.

    It all boils down to Sony offered more money then xbox to get exclusives. If two company's offer you insane amounts of money to improve the game, only stipulation is to hold content for a time from their competition, you will go with who offered more money. It all comes down to playstation had more to lose so they offered more money. Xbox did the same thing with titanfall except their stipulation was to exclude playstation completely. Perhaps if xbox spent less on titanfall then they would have had a bigger budget for Destiny? Not a fact just speculation. Money makes the world go round. Don't blame Bungie. Blame either Microsoft for not bidding more, or Playstation for bidding to mich. Either way without one company getting an exclusive Bungie would have had less to spend. Which means a game that isn't what it should be.

  • It okay marty, I understand your furstration. Gamemakers so often now get paid for exclusive rights, content or even both. I consider myself among the lucky few as I own both an Xbox One and a PS4. We often look too much into the advertising hype of a game expecting more of a game only to be let down when we get our hands on the actual game. As for this game, I played the beta version and found it enjoyable enough to play despite some of the things that seemed promised or not yet includued in the game. To those that own xbox that feel left out, at least the content is only a timed exclusive which means xbox will have same access to content at a future date. For me I base games on are they fun for me to play and do they hold my interest. Most of the extra content to buy limited edtions does not matter to me as much of it is just vanity and as you gain levels it becomes obsolete. As far as the extra maps and missions, yes that is the lure for me to buy a certain copy of the game. I did choose the the ps4 version over the xbox one for that reason. I understand many do not have that option, so I understand the frustration. My hope is that you would still buy the game because it is something that seems enjoyable to play rather than you can get extra content. My suggestion marty is wait until after release and rent a copy or borrow a friend's copy to see if the game is fun for you. If it is not then take solice you made a good decision not to buy. If you do find it enjoyable then buy a copy or used copy after price comes down a bit. Each is entitled to their own opinion and I always respect the opinion of others wether I share the same sentiment or not. Basically, for me I make the simple choice, is it a game that I would enjoy playing. The extra missions and maps eventually will be available to all, so if I miss out on a few things or need to wait for other content others get right away, I am willing to fore go those things if I really enjoy the game.

  • I understand that it's not fair that xbox is not getting anything. So yes I would be mad too about it but I play on sony, plus even if I did play xbox I would understand that I would have to wait a year for it. Mine you I am a big cod fan no matter what and I got the season pass what got me piss off is that I would have to wait 2 mouths to get one thing. So I am very happy that it's different for once and the best cod to me mw3,mw2 and cod 4 and waw. So I am very happy with this game and I can't wait to get my ps4. I do not think xbox is all that bad I wanted to get the one but once they give me the hole I will limited with games and team no tread in or lending games they just killed it. Ps -blam!- you give me money (angry joe show) I will give it up to xbox controller it's very nice.

  • Lol you seriously love getting ridiculed, you really have no life other than getting off to this. You like sucking we get it, but just move on with your pathetic life and let those who actually enjoyed the beta have self happiness upon this wonderful game.

    All I can say is take the game for what it is. Don't worry about what it isn't. If you feel cheated buy the ps I guess I have both ps4 and Xbox one but all my friends are xbox so that's the way I'm leaning. Yeah its kinda bs that they make certain things exclusive but I don't look at it as content I'm cheated out of, I look at it as an extra content bonus they get that comes with bungie's new ps team up. It's them showing they can swing either way, no favoritism after being solely Microsoft before. Either way you would have to be a stubborn ass to cheat yourself out of a potentially awesome game just because of a .001% extra content lean to the system you don't have. I have a feeling this would not be an issue if it had leaned in your favor. So if you have a complaint you should look at it objectively at least. And if you still want to swear off the game on principal then way to stand behind your convictions. This being said. I hope you do decide to buy it because there are a lot of mindless players online these days and it is refreshing to see someone who thinks further than looking for the next corpse to teabag. My gamer tag is as it is displayed. In case you are interested.

  • I was also wondering where his info came from. Maybe next time he could provide a link to it. I usually only listen to people who report on facts. I'm glad the content is shifted in our (PS4) favor for once. I do agree with him about the gamers though. Some of us are very horrible people, if we judged them from the word of their posts. The beta was tight, the game should be too. I hate we lost the progress from the beta but screw it, I guess I'll start over.

  • Hey look at it this way, anything you may have done wrong last time you have a chance to improve on, like your over all kill death ratio, you know more about the game and can be a little wiser everything.

  • I get all the content for my money so I don't care about your issues, it's not like I got halo 1-3 so I think you can live over less then .5% of a full game being for someone else.

  • The point of the matter is that he does not care about other games. That is why he is upset. And it is a very good reason to be angry about it. So go take one of you're mom's dildo's and shove it up your ass ya stupid ps fan [spoiler]i am an xbox fan, however, this is only friendly banter. You have a good day sir! :D[/spoiler]

  • I see why you are upset but really it is not a huge problem, I even play on the 360 and I wasn't even thinking destiny would be available for 360 until earlier this year... All I'm saying is be grateful that destiny is coming to xbox
