PS gets DLC one year before Xbox. One Year.
The article is one of many I saw.
*explicit content*
So I don't give a shit that PS users get 4 more days for the beta, I don't give a shit about them getting some MP maps, a Strike, some starter loot, ect small stuff..
But DLC being exclusive to Playstation for a whole year. Is this true? Did I read this correctly!? If this happened to ANY other game than Destiny I would not get that game. Bungie, I know you aren't the ones who signed the papers. It was Activision.
Anyways I am mad now, I thought I was mad at the length of the beta but that pales in comparison to this.
Leave your thoughts below, I may not be following this article after a couple days, I am just blowing off some steam and looking for some opinions. Sorry about another rage topic on the forum, but I have not seen this DLC thing covered much.

Its utterly disgusting isn't it. I mean a whole YEAR. Firstly, Xbox getting only 4 days beta compared to PS's 10 is bad, I mean really bad, I couldn't stand the fact that I'm only going to have 4 days beta access, it's a ridiculously short period of time for a beta. But like you say, that pales in comparison to a year long timed exclusive for downloadable content. That is an incredible punishment for buying an xbox and in all honesty, its bewildering that bungie/Activision are getting away with it, let alone even trying it.

1 ReplyEdited by SlylentGamer: 7/9/2014 9:21:53 PMWait a minute, when you say DLC are you referring to the Expansions? Because if so, on GameStop.com they have expansions 1&2 available for download on 12/31/2014 at 12:01AM, and that's for all four consoles. Check the link and look at the availability date: http://www.gamestop.com/browse?nav=16k-3-destiny+expansion+pass,28zu0 Edit:: I read on Inquisitr that Microsoft will still get the same DLC as Sony it's just that Sony gets exclusive content like weapons, skins and whatnot. You can read the article here: http://www.inquisitr.com/1339551/destiny-playstation-beta-dates-exclusive-dlc-content-has-xbox-fans-threatening-to-pull-support/

It's true I could wait a month like psn do with cod but a year! They have really lost their minds!

1 ReplyEdited by Lambent Ewok: 7/8/2014 5:45:49 PMBlame Bungie, Activision,MS, Sony and all other publishers and studios that use these exclusivity deals on Multi-platform games. It is not good for the gaming industry. The worst is the separate DLC at different retailers like Gamestop, Amazon, Best Buy ETC. At least there isn't 15 versions of a game like Watch_Dogs. Hopefully this 1 Year DLC is not true because if Bungie gets away with it then other studios and Publishers will join suit. We need to unite as gamers and not except this type of treatment to the people who make them rich. MS does it, Sony does it, it doesn't matter who you align your gaming with, we need to take a stand or it will only get worse.

I do think that this is crap. I can see something like a month up to three months as a fair delay, but one whole year? Now that's crazy.
-
it's been known since before the console launches that PS4 was getting the "definitive" Destiny experience. you really have no excuse for your nerd rage.
-
The problem I have with all of this is the expansions, hopefully PS doesn't get them before Xbox because it sounds like those expansion packs will contain story which would mean that Xbox player will have to stay away from internet if the don't want to get spoiled, don't care if PS get exclusive content in the expansions or get map packs before us, story is where I draw the line.
-
Ok 1 year is too long.
-
why do you people always bitch about everything the ps4 gets early, I'm an xbox fan and i was a little bummed at first about the beta but i don't care now. soon i will have my ps4 and xbox one so some timed exclusives. just go buy a ps4 as well if you care so much about a little bit of early content
-
7 RepliesStop your bitching. You have call of duty and The division as well. And you complaining on one freaking game? You are nothing much but a cry baby. Stop your whining and let PS have this one dang. -.- crap don't order it I doubt bungie wants a immature person like you playing their new game anyways.
-
1 ReplyJust buy a ps4 if you really want the DLC's before..
-
1 ReplyYou seem to be mistaken the only time exclusive for ps4 is the sparrow skin, strike map, crucible map, and the guns? The expansion packs are not going to be timed exclusive.
-
1 ReplyThere's a DLC?
-
So what bungie's just giving ps owners a little love. I'm sure the sequel will be compleat lay equal between Xbox and ps
-
And this matters why? To me, it's okay....I can go without that for awhile XD its always the same for Defiance

The one year exclusivity period is only for the PlayStation bonus content - gear, strike mission ect. Unless otherwise stated in a press release from Bungie or Activision, I would assume the Expansion Packs will come out on all systems at the same time particularly since they are included in a few different versions of the game.
-
7 RepliesSo what dude? Xbone will get crazy exclusives with The Division, and that game is shaping up to be nuts! The only way to remedy this, if you care enough to do so, is to get both consoles.
-
"...But DLC being exclusive to Playstation for a whole year. Is this true? Did I read this correctly!?..." No you did not read it correctly. Dunno if it's true, but this article (like many others) is speculative. No confirmation included. Chill. Have a snickers.
-
That's working under the assumption this is all day one DLC. What if the first DLC doesn't release until spring of next year? Definitely not a year long wait for the timed exclusivity to end. So calm your rits until we know definitevly when the DLC is planned for release.
-
Let me say one thing about DLC it is a cool thing to show off to people but who give a duck;) lol [spoiler]Xbox One for life[/spoiler]
-
Whoever wrote your source doesn't think things through very well. All it says is that there will be content exclusive until Fall 2015. You need to keep in mind that none of us have any idea when these DLCs will be available. For example, let's talk about "House of Wolves". This is Expansion II I believe. We have no idea when the expansion drops. It could happen in August 2015. We just don't know. Whatever the date, we do know for sure that the content will not be exclusive for an entire year.
-
How long?

Edited by aNdRoX90: 7/9/2014 3:52:18 AM[quote]...I don't give a shit about them getting some MP maps, a Strike, some starter loot, ect small stuff...[/quote] You said it, so don't worry. Expansions are dropping simultaneously, they'll only have that kind of minor stuff exclusive within each one. And also it's not an year: for example think about exp 2, it will drop probably during the next summer, so it's going to have exclusives for only few months.
-
2 RepliesBut what DLC? The expansion packs? Or wich ones? Because if is some crappy mission like the exclusive ones in watch dogs and AC:IV you have nothing to worry about (Before you say anything I know ubisoft and bungie are not the same lol)

1 ReplyEdited by Bruhai: 7/8/2014 7:28:20 PMTo me the biggest problem with this "exclusive" content stuff is that, regardless of your preference of console, everyone is getting hurt. Im not just reffering to Destiny, this is a problem in the gameing world in general. Its one thing when a whole game and its series is exclusive to one console aka Halo and God of War. With games like this the problem are at a minimum and really you buy the system that has the games you want. But when you make dlc exclusive the real monster emerges. It makes these petty wars between console players that really shouldent matter. I for one have a Xbox1. Ya i want the strike and the one pistol because i think it looks cool and im into cool looking weapons just for show, but as for the rest of the "exclusive" content that ps is getting at launch i really couldent care less. Xbox will get it eventually any way and its not like the weapons are going to break the game. More than likley weapons and gear released in such a way is more than likley purly cosmetic. After a few hours of game play you will probably find something you like much more. I for one just want to enjoy the game i have followed for years and want to enjoy it for years to come.
