Never said I was talking about concept art, and who mentioned trolling?

  • You did. Chicago, European dead zone, Europa, all shown in concept art only. Sorry dude, but that's not "confirmed" or "promised". And I am starting to think you're trolling.

    European Dead Zone appears in PVP. Widow's Court? There was supposed to be a raid on Mars, too. Guess what the next DLC is rumoured to be? Cabal centric. And concept art occurs in pre-productiion. That was years ago. All of those areas were pushed by the E3 reveal. Why do you think everyone was so surprised to discover they weren't there? Because Bungie didn't bother to tell people they'd cut it. The pretended it was still in the game, because if they admitted they'd butchered the story, sales would've plummeted. So, they lied about it to maintain their initial sales, using hype to make their money before people realised what they had actually done. The story changes were implemented a few months to a year before release. So for three years, they were working in it, with everything in the original prompt, Chicago, Europe, Saturn mixed in there. Why do you think Rasputin plays such a substantial role at first, then quietly disappears toward the end? What about the footage showing the Crow in the Cosmodrome, who was repurposed as the Prince? Or the Stranger, who was meant to be the assistant of Osiris, with Mercury being in the original game as well, but then moved to PVP and ToO. What happened to the dialogue between them? Cayde-6 more or less replaced the Crow. Rasputin was an exo, now he's just a faceless AI with a less than clear role. TTK was being worked on even before vanilla release, because it was partially built from the previous story. The Dreadnaught featured in the final part of the game, with the game itself revolving around preventing Rasputin being controlled by the Hive. You actually had to rescue him from the Dreadnaught. Now all we have is a small attempt featuring Omnigul. This is information gathered from internal sources at Bungiec as well as former employees. They all paint the picture of a massive reboot not long before release, in which the story was completely butchered. Half completed content was cut away and later sold, instead of them finishing it off and then adding it to vanilla. If you want to deny this, go ahead, but you're denying fact. They stripped out the story, stitched bits of it back together, and then figured they could sell on the parts they had removed. Instead of delaying the game, or telling prospective buyers that there were major changes, they maintained the illusion that everything previously stated would be included. Look at the E3 video by comparison, how players enter the game, how many players there are, what happens when the ketch appears. Everything shown was far better than the final product, but Bungie failed to announce that. They still don't admit it. They weren't even happy with the game when it released, and that tells you everything. If you release something for purchase under the pretence of being completed and containing certain content, whilst knowing it is incomplete and lacking, but keep your mouth closed, you are lying to the customer.

    There wasn't "supposed" to be anything. There were planned things that ended up getting cut. How do you know the European dead zone was supposed to be a playable area and not just a pvp setting? You don't, because nothing's led us to believe that. And please stop brining up e3. It's pre alpha. Stuff gets cut. Wow, right? You're so misled dude. It's unreal how ignorant you are to how this stuff works. Look into every game ever made and you'll find cut content.

  • And yet, why are so many people infuriated with Bungie and their handling of Destiny, if this happens with every game? Want to know how we know? BECAUSE PEOPLE WHO WORKED ON IT SAID SO, INCLUDING PEOPLE WHO ARE STILL WORKING ON IT. They specifically noted what was meant to be in the game, that ended up cut, and is now trickling out as DLC. What company complete guts it's story to the point of non-existence, and then starts putting out elements of it for a price? They're effectively selling off what was planned for the base game, instead of just adding it back in. So you end up with nothing in the base game, and then what was supposed to be in it is now being sold. Understand that, yet? What more evidence do you need? Like talking to a brick wall. Just accept that Bungie -blam!-ed up monumentally, misled people, and continues to try and cover up what actually happened, all the while pushing overpriced, reused content on us. If you can't accept information from the horse's mouth, then there's nothing else to say. You're clearly in denial about who or what Bungie is, and think they're some fantastic, upstanding company. You believe there is nothing wrong with the game, or how it's managed. Pull your head out of Bungie's ass and swallow the truth instead of their shit for once.

  • "Anonymous members" Yeah. Unnamed members of bungie. How gullible are you? And yes, they said pre alpha content was cut. You'll see that with every game.

  • So apparently, insider information is only viable if the source is named, thereby risking the source to reprisals (in this case being fired or sued). Jesus, lol. Yeah, games can cut content. No game cuts its entire story, only to sell on later. Seems to be the point you continually ignore. Doesn't matter if it was not included in the base game, it was part of the base story. It was planned for the base game. So instead of reinstating it back into the main game, they sold it on as DLC. I suggest you stop ignoring that. DLC is supposed to be content additional to the base game. Destiny doesn't have a base story anymore, because they cut it up, and are now selling it piece by piece. Get that in your head.
