To the people complaining about the DLC, updates, and bungie in general, let's take a moment to exercise some common sense. [b]DLC?[/b] YES, a good portion of the future DLC is already in the game and is technically accessable by glitching out of the maps. However, if you were to actually do this, you would find that the areas are far from perfectly complete. They are very buggy and contain a whole lot of problems. Sure, Bungie included these places before launch, but have you ever considered that they did it to make it easier down the road for themselves, rather than just to rob you of money? Furthermore, charging for DLC is not a new concept. Nearly every successful game does this. Call of Duty has been doing it for years and NO ONE complains! The only difference is that CoD doesn't put the maps in the game before, because its not a free roam world! So where would they put them?? But that doesn't stop them from charging you every penny they can get for each new map pack. [b]CONTRACTUAL RIGHTS[/b] Upset that you are on Xbox and have to wait a year for stuff that Play Station already has? Well get used to it because there is a contract in place (just like how Xbox had rights to Halo) that says Playstation has the rights! At least it's just a year and not FORVER like halo was. [b]10 YEAR PLAN[/b] If Destiny truly has a 10 year plan for expansions, do you actually believe that they can keep paying their employees for 10 years off of the 60$ we spent to buy the game? No! They would run out of money in no time. Just like any on running massive multiplayer online game, they need to charge a little bit of money in order to keep themselves functioning! To everyone that feels the need to point out that the 10 year plan in fact involves several new titles and additions to the legacy, bear in mind that regardless of how the 10 year plan is carried out, it requires money. This game is Bungie's baby. They want to make it the best game they have ever made. Give them time, be patient, and enjoy the future releases. [b]UPDATES[/b] People are constantly asking for updates for the game. I am sure bungie is listening to you, but what do you want them to do? Reply to 10,000 comments a day saying, "we read your comment and the idea is in consideration"? Do you have any idea how long it takes for developers to consider an idea, bring it before the board, plan the idea, beta test the idea, execute the idea, and finish the -blam!-ing idea? It takes a long -blam!-ing time! They plan on working on this game for 10 years. So expect many, many, many updates during that time. But they can only be done so fast. Developers aren't god. They can't build the world in seven days. So get used to it, or quit the game. If you are patient enough to stick around, expect some pretty cool content coming in the near/far future. [b]TIME[/b] Let's consider one final thing. The majority of the players that have run out of things to do in Destiny have played 150+ hours. This game has been out for less than two months. The reason it is out of content is because we have literally OVERPLAYED it. Speaking from personal experience, I have played nearly 300 hours because this game is amazing. I highly doubt the developers of the game were ready for that. If you are worried about content running out, maybe slow down a little bit. Even at my 300 hours, I am still having fun. But that's just me. However, there are very few games that are capable from ripping me away from the real world. __________________________________________________________________ Stop being such entitled little bitches and either just quit the game or accept that the world isn't free and takes time to make perfect. _____________________________________________________________________ [b]TL;DR[/b] (too long; didn't read) - It is not free to continue producing content for a game - A 10 year plan requires a 10 year budget - The DLC "already in the game" is not finished. If you glitch out to it, you will see it needs considerable work before being ready for play. - Bungie is contractually bound to release certain content on PSN only (for a year), it's not an option. Thats how contracts work. - Updates take a considerable amount of time, and if Bungie wants this game to last 10 years, they need 10 years of updates. Be patient. - If you are out of content already it may be time to go outside, or maybe call one of those friends you forgot you had. [quote]Well when you think about it, Microsoft has more money than they will probably ever need. But thats no reason for them to start handing out copies of Office for free. The world runs on money, and whether we like it or not, we are part of the world. If the DLC was free, I would love it. But I very seldom get handed free things, so I am not too worried about buying it. [b]I can spend 20$ for one night downtown that I won't even remember. I would happily spend 20$ for another 100 hours of gameplay that I will love every minute of.[/b][/quote]

  • Considering the fact that people make multiple replies per post, and then I raised the number to 10,000 replies per post (which is wrong.) It's only to prove a point anyway. [i]There's a huge portion of the player base out there that isn't whining.[/i]

  • They put that stuff on the disk so that wen an update for that dlc came out your not all sitting there for hours watching it download. Everyone crying that this was cut from the game no it wasn't. It's a place holder. Now some of the story should have been extended but that's only because I like a story and there good at telling one. I could care less for the pvp but that's the reason the story lacked cuz of all the content that came with it

    Lmao it was cut. It's not a place holder. The seraphim vault for example was supposed to be home to another faction and PvP was supposed to be Faction Wars between the in game factions. Dead Orbit ect...ect.. , the game was torn apart no doubt by Activision in an attempt to dumb it down for the ridiculous number of in unintelligent players or those with undeveloped minds(younger player base). They destroyed the game in the name of money and nothing else. Both the DLCs were supposed to be with the package. They were not supposed to be DLCs in the first place. The Traveler was supposed to be evil and we were supposed to encounter the queens brother on earth and we were supposed to stop the resurrection of the traveler. The black garden was supposed to be located within him. It's false advertisement and extortion...

    It was cut from the game. They have followed the Mobile gaming industry's way of making money. It's a pay-wall. Whoops sorry if you don't pay, you can't access this area. If it was on the disc, I should be able to play it because I payed for content on the disc.

  • I love how people compare holding back content already developed to the halo games, which would have required developing the games completely from scratch for the other console (bare in mind ps3 in particular was a black sheep as far as multiplat games go owing to the cell processor and how the architecture worked) , these guys were busy working from one game to the next, from halo through to odst and reach. Xbox users are paying for the content, they should get exactly the same as what ps users are paying for, timed exclusives for a year would be fine if it was cosmetics, but a missing strike is like 15% of end level content, and for a year where it's only going to be appearing once it's irrelevant and in a game so sorely In need of some content.. and I'd call Bs if it was the other way around, too. bungie have stated that they are going to treat the communities equally, which means paid for dlc needs parity. or reduce the price of the xbox dlc and charge the extra money back when the missing stuff is eventually released.

  • Too bad nobody ever said anything about getting drunk, and if your reffering to the "never remember" i have been many places probably far more than the average person. And i cant remember some of them because they were just not significant enough.
