Age of decision?
I, along with many others have thoroughly enjoyed and continue to enjoy Destiny. The reason for this is because I made a decision. A choice. One that only I can hold myself accountable for. That decision, that choice is to accept and play the game for what it is. Each and every person here also made that choice. No one twisted your arms, threatened to kick your cat or dog if you didn't/don't buy/play Destiny.
Bungie, in the bigger picture is a business. Businesses exist for one reason and that is to make money by SELLING a product or products and in this case, Destiny is that product. No one was forced to buy it. No one was forced to play it. It was a decision made at the individuals level. Period.
If you don't like it, don't play it but don't sit in here or anywhere and piss and moan about a decision YOU made.

Attitudes like that are the reason corporations continue to produce cynical, mind numbing demos with pretty graphics and micro transactions.

I bought it.

Totally agree

Your right. Not to mention that everyone could have got this expansion cheap in the limited edition if they had bothered to think ahead.

You are wrong. Simple as that. This new DLC will not be a choice anymore. Buying Destiny was, but not the DLC. We all have made friends by now, joined a clan and progressed through the game somewhat. This new DLC, which they charge $20 for, will be the turning point of either you buy it and don't get left behind or you don't and you better quit playing. Most of your friends or clanmates will buy it so that forces you to buy it as well. I would be personally fine with being forced to buy a DLC if the content was actually worth the money. In this case it isn't. The lack of PVE content in this DLC is seriously too high. Looks like much on paper, but it really really really isn't. It's shit! 3 story missions? [u]3[/u] -blam!-ing missions?!

But you still have a choice. I'm taking the friends I've made in my clan and leaving for another game. That, too, is my choice. OP would have more support on this matter if he'd articulated this as his true meaning. If you don't like it, don't pay for it. That's the only message understood by a capitalist business model. Stuff like this only sees the light of day because an audience buys into the marketing and agrees to pay for it.

OP = Myztik Just to avoid any confusion!

The problem is no one told us the exclusive content would stay exclusive for almost a whole year. We where intentionally mislead, and that's unethical, and just bad business.

Edited by nano: 10/30/2014 9:48:22 AMSorry, your reasoning is not akin to reason. If you buy a toaster that was advertised to have features that are not in the end product you take it back or negotiate a discount. In services like a game it's more difficult because there are factors which might change the outcome. In Destiny for example story and freeroam with somewhat intelligent opponents have been cut. It's not what I thought the game would be according to trailers and show demos. Things change in game development because of many reasons but I think it's deceitful not to communicate fundamental changes. Like a lot of games the lack of solid titles for next gen give the creators a false feeling of success or maybe think of taking the easier road to profit. I can't remember another title to get so many commentsand suggestions about the core of the game. This in itself tells a lot. Maybe Destiny 2 will deliver but I won't be pre-ordering.

Edited by FolkAttorney67: 10/30/2014 9:01:42 AM@Nano, I completely agree.

I'll piss and moan where I damn well please, including on your post here. And I WILL definitely piss and moan on this business's website forums, especially the same business where I bought one of their products and felt it to be highly unsatisfactory bordering on "Complete Rip-off" status. Mate.

@Folk: My apologies, however, you lose some credibility having 29+ hours of playtime on a game that you consider a "rip-off". I'm relatively certain that you enjoyed your first (even your second) play-through of Patrols, Missions & the such but just grew bored "grinding" out the same levels; in my experience, it's the nature of the beast, especially amongst FPS with any PvP content: spend some time on the story (usually 10-20 hours) and then jump into PvP and grind the same limited number of maps until new content comes out. Please keep in mind that the game was just released, a Community Manager is providing weekly updates and that more content is on the way...focus on the positive, you'll be a happier person. :-) The best recommendation I can make is find a game that entertains you & take a breather for a bit; come back if/when the itch to play Destiny starts up and either start playing again or find something else to occupy your time - games are supposed to relieve stress, not create it...you're old enough to post so you're old enough to choose how you would like to entertain yourself ;-)
-
@Caumadi, I have 29+ hours of this game because it fails to hold my attention but I get the essence of your reply and I won't bash you for it. I'm already playing other games and and I have a good library of them to keep me entertained. You're right, games shouldn't create stress and much of what Destiny is as a game is stressful. There's nothing fulfilling about it and I was hoping that their first DLC would change that but from the look of it, it won't.
-
Sorry to hear that Destiny didn't live up to your expectations & I am honestly glad that you found something you enjoy more. :-) Life is stressful enough, go have some fun with your free time! :-)

You are right we made the decision to buy from a company that made arguably one of the best multiplayer games that will teach us right because we we're suppose to expect a shitty game from a great company. No one twisted our arms to by the game they just built it up way to great to turn down. If people are angry where are they suppose to bi7ch. Bungie doesn't even have a support number. They supposedly read the forums so this is where people tell them what the are doing wrong. So things can get better.
-
Omg thank you so much for saying that. I wish people with stop being so damn negative. They want Bungie to spend millions on making the game and make it free with endless content.
-
Excuse they did spend millions, $500 million to be exact.
-
Yes but what did they do with it, cut this is not a $500 million game.
-
They never spent 500 million, that was a media mistake. It was denied by Activision and Bungie.
