Who is ready to throw money at the screen?
[u]Note: this thread seems to have been suppressed to prevent you from seeing it and posting. Bungie is definitely in damage control mode.[/u]
Ok, given the recent issues of pricing, exclusive weapons for everyone except veterans, and this classless Luke guy in the interview, who is ready to throw their money at the screen. Without attacking other people directly give your vote and state your reason.

2 RepliesI was going to order the $40 version. Given that this is apparently Bungie's attitude toward its players, I think I'll pass.

After doing that awful in an interview I would straight up have that fool fired for making the company look so bad. That guy was literally ignorant.

6 RepliesVoted hell no. When I started my destiny journey on day one, I expected, for the price of 80 bucks to get a game worth that. Also to save on dlcs because I was that sold it would be awesome. Then came the disappointment which the dark below turned out to be, but at least there was one other raid than vault of glass. I expected something better. Then here we are in the house of wolves. Frankly speaking, no raid this time around was a massive disappointment, but I kind of get their reason for that and thought hey maybe the prison of elders won't be so bad. The story this time was a little more engaging than eris, but it's a shame we only see Petra at the reef or in a ship and yet she keeps talking about doing fieldwork when it was really the guardians doing that part. She was more of a voice in my ear. How is that any different from eris? I did not like the prison of elders after giving it a few chances. I just cannot. I don't care about pvp so that aspect is totally nonexistent for me. It also kind of rubs the wrong way how supposed improvements in pvp affect pve. (Don't even get me started on auto rifle nerf). Bungie always said they learn a lot from players and are trying to make a better game because of that. In a way I find it annoying. Why? I paid and expected for a really good game and it's not that. When will it be? I don't know, Destiny 2 maybe? What am I paying for then? Bungie's back to school game development tuition fee ? Nah I'm done with that. And then comes Luke's comment. Tactless or not, Bungie really turned me off with that one. Paying their tuition fee since day one and veterans get nothing for putting up with their shit and giving them free lessons on how to make a good game? Didn't these guys make Halo? Sure as hell doesn't seem like it.

3 RepliesBungie can shove the Taken King up their asses. Not buying it or any other Bungie or Activision product. I'm done with Destiny.
-
5 Replies40 American dollars is fine, 40 British pounds sterling is not. £40 = $63 dollars Bungie. I am not paying full game price for a DLC upgrade.

24 RepliesThe stripper reference holds water. You don't know the context or atmosphere of the interview. They're talking about dance moves and he says if I show you, you would throw money at the screen... Funny how sharks swarm when they think there's some blood in the water. Anyone with a brain knows to wait until you have some more evidence of foul play before you form an opinion. I guess sheep will always be sheep. You've seen text of an interview on the Internet. Calm the f down.

Revise last demand -Hand Luke Smith over to us

wow, just read that interview... and apparently he is the design lead for raids... explains why crota's end was sub par and there is no raid in HoW. Vault must have been a fluke

6 Replieshttp://planetdestiny.com/bungie-responds-content/ Read that, a very nuanced perspective on tbh the most bias interview I've read in gaming journalism. Eurogamer journalist is a douche, he portrays mr Smith as a douche, while in fact he himself states clearly that he is willing to pay extra money to get the CE preorder bonuses himself and then going back to just incite flaming and dismay among the player community. TTK is a way forward and by the looks of it, it is almost what I feel that TDB should have been. But hey, Bungie is learning and listening. HoW is a great example of community feedback that has been really taken into account. So if you want preorder bonuses, then buy the CE version. If not, you'll get your 1 year bonuses. I don't want weapons handed to me, I will get them when I play.

DONE.

I threw so much money at the screen I had to start picking the money up off the floor to throw more.
-
6 RepliesBungie knows what kind of ground it's treding with their fans, so I kinda doubt this interview is real considering it'd be really stupid on their part lol. They've always been careful not to say anything to off the wall in their interviews. Even if it is real, I'll wait and see what kind of things Bungie is offering to see if TTK is worth the 40.

I have no doubt that the taken king is going to be awesome, and actually don't mind the price tag, but to then tell us that you can get the lot for £54.99 that's the base game and the 3 DLC's is like coming in my house and taking a leak on my kids. Once The Taken King comes out most of us that have had the game from day one will have paid out around £120 to get where we are now. Feel really cheated and don't think they have given us any incentive to stick with it. It's the same old story with all company's they never look after the customers they already have just the ones they want.

Edited by Wriothesley: 6/23/2015 6:34:10 AMI really don't see why I would throw my money at the screen over a few golf emotes, I'd rather buy a new game with that cash thank you, and I don't think anybody i throwing any money in your direction :/

1 ReplyI threw $437 in miscellaneous bills at my TV, and the only thing that happened was I had a crapload of cash on the floor.

3 RepliesI could throw my money at a stripper in GTA and get more than my money's worth than this dlc.

17 RepliesIt was a joke on a very common ongoing gag. The internet is so damn sensitive sometimes.

Its funny because its true. First you're all crying about the emotes and if you were to see them that would just end up making you all want it even more. This is all so stupid. Grow up we still get exclusive stuff for being day one players. Its not that big of a deal. If you want it great buy it if you don't cool you can leave. You all blew this way outta proportion.

Star Wars BF Batman AK Witcher 3 Rumoured Elder scrolls 6 They should have thought about all the new and up coming games before wheeling out that idiot. Plenty to walk away from destiny too if the people get put off so much!

I'm still disappointed in the connectivity issues of this game so it's a resounding "hell no" from me.
