You think they were anticipating that? You think they decided to "cut" the content last minute?

Edited by ROBERTO jh: 9/29/2014 1:44:03 PMActually yes I do because one of the pay wall locked missions on earth is fully designed and fully populated with enemy units, including a unique boss at the end called Ultra Captain, but you can't actually trigger the mission; all they're selling you is a few MB worth of unlock key, they are not selling you anything you don't technically already have in your disc. No matter how expensive the game was, this is inexcusable. If expense was really a concern, they wouldn't have developed those missions in the first place and waited for the game to ship. And if a multi billion dollar corporation can't afford to develop an expensive triple a game, then they're at risk of bankruptcy. As this is Bungie/activision , this isn't the case. There's no way you can slice this in a good way.

How so? The proof that the expansions are already on the disc is as accurate as that the Beta was already on your console after you downloaded the few MB launch screen. As for content already in the game, that will most likely be the free content we'll see activated by a limited time event.

Edited by ROBERTO jh: 9/29/2014 1:57:11 PMIt isn't. The ultra captain and other areas are the areas locked behind the expansions. The recent bugged PS4 video revealed the expansions as being coded into the game already, in areas that are fully designed and accessible (via glitching ), but are blocked off from typical exploration until you pay for the 9.5 MB unlock key. Again, the important thing to note is the tiny size of the expansion downloads. They're only the size of a few assets, like trees maybe, no where near enough to be the download for entire raids, strikes and stories. This is because all of that is already on the disc, they're just selling you the unlock keys, effectively making you buy something you already bought.

If it's already ready why can't we have it

Edited by Ethsentray: 9/29/2014 1:21:11 PMWho ever said it was "ready"? Beta was a small download and didn't download the 10 gigabytes until you launched the game. [spoiler]wait... don't tell me that I just concluded this whole -blam!-ing mess...[/spoiler]
