WTF Exclusive DLC now?
As frustrating as it is for xbox users not having any exclusive content found on Playstation (extra pvp map, extra strike, extra exotics) and also all the PS4 events like the the ninja bounty, it must be really frustrating for all the creative people at Bungie to have the execs get in the way of their creation.
Now it was announced today that Playstation will be getting another exclusive strike with the new dlc (and I can only assume same will go with the House of Wolves dlc) increasing the number of strikes to 9. This sucks because xbox owners who have spent the same amount of money on destiny and the season pass only get 7 and strikes are a key point in the replayability of Destiny. Bungie messed up because of the deal with Playstation they are hurting their customers on xbox which will result in player drop off and thus not being able to sustain the number of players desired for their 10 year plan. I really like this game and I am an xbox one owner who is starting to feel the fatigue. With all the great options for games, I doubt i will be able to make it 1 full year to get the content that shouldn't have been taken away in the first place.
PS4 exclusives only benefit Playstation (not Playstation owners) because its designed to get people who either don't have a system and are using this game as a justification to purchase a console or the people who have both to buy it for their system. Gamers lose because of all these deals (Xbox lost on Destiny but PS lost on Tomb Raider worse imo), Programmers/Artist/Writer lose because the things they worked hard on are purposely not distributed to everyone. Sony and Microsoft win because people are forced to choose.
I wish the console wars were more about developing new exclusive ips (Gears, Last of Us) and not cutting content (Tiger Woods releasing 19 dlc courses for $50 same day the game came out) or timed releases (cod). As a side note, retailer exclusives need to stop too.
I hope bungie is addressing this issue and coming up with ways to rectify the exclusivity mistake. A few suggestions I have are:
- xbox events (along with ps events)
- additional free weapons/ armor (diluting the benefits ps owners get)
- additional free add on strikes or variants (different enemy placement would do wonders)
- modified strike playlist (playlist should have special currency and maybe less weapon xp)
---- example: only green/purple ammo drops from enemies (rocket strike would be so fun)
---- example: weapon type buffs (scout riffle would be OP for the strike)
- more venders that accept vanguard marks (maybe some that accept a third currency that you get from my modified strike playlist suggestion)
- confirmation that after the contract is over ps and xbox will have the same content
Please feel free to add on to my list and hopefully bungie will fix this so that we don't see this as common business practices in the future.

2 RepliesSorry I disagree. Allowing PS to have exclusive content is smart by Bungie because Bungie owns The X-Box franchise. Halo will always be the greatest X-Box franchise and when Master Chief collection comes out and Halo 5, X-Box owners won't even remember what Destiny is. What Bungie is trying to do is have that same impact on "The other side" now I won't lie, I've been a Playstation Gamer my whole life, for the most part, and by Bungie expanding their reach, well, I see a good business plan that hasn't really executed the way they wanted it too. Similar to Call of Duty getting DEC content 2 months before PS owners. (Well, with the exception knowing we'll get it eventually.)

2 RepliesSony paid for it. It wasn't just given to them. Plus I'll be playing the crew and Dragon inquisition (playing the fack out if Dragon age), only game that I actually like being a mage in XD.

5 RepliesYour argument is void, i spend the same on cod but i don't gripe about not getting content first. Xbox users for the most part are a bunch of self entitled kids.

2 RepliesIt's a TIMED exclusive, get over it. Microsoft does far worse with these types of deals IMO. (looking at you Tomb Raider)

I wonder how many people that post on this thread are are old enough to show maturity and not fan boy a single console it's crazy the psn community not all of you but the 5% that go and shit on things just cause they do things differently when I don't really see a lot of Xbox users go around and shit you psn users so get off your high horse.

Edited by thefourfoldroot: 11/1/2014 10:46:40 AMIf it was the other way round I could understand people being pissed as I wouldn't want to buy an inferior console just for this content. As the extra content is going to the better machine it's not so bad.

Edited by Xurelle: 11/1/2014 11:53:38 AMI agree with you, dude, and I'm a PS4 player and hardcore Sony fan all the way. But you guys got ripped off. Every time I see something like this I think, "Wow, Bungie is REALLY mad at Microsoft!" Way to take it out on all the fans, though, Bungie. I do realize that Call of Duty has had Xbox exclusives/early access for years now, but...I could care less about Call of Duty so that doesn't seem as bad. ;)

2 RepliesEdited by tSquip: 10/31/2014 10:12:10 AMPlaystation exclusives are a much deserved finger to microlimp and their Halo exclusivity, what did you say? Something about limiting the creators? Step back and look again, Microsoft is a control structure built on an antagonistic business model in bed with the NSA, the military and Homeland Security. Have fun getting your junk scanned through your clothes because of some superficial concern for the artists who were stifled at Microwhatwhat and robbed of their brainchild. I applaud their stand with Playstation simply because they earned their ire towards the child of a man who lied about his operating system, stole nearly EVERYTHING he sold and charged schools for each individual desk his software was used at. To hell with Gates, Microsoft and XBox. Your dollar is your last vote. Vote wisely.

11 RepliesEdited by Gubzs: 10/31/2014 7:49:48 PMTo all of the PSN people who think this is somehow okay because "Xbox users will get it later": Let me explain it like this. You order food and I order food. It comes with a free appetizer. Your appetizer arrives with your food when it's hot and good to eat, and my food arrives without my appetizer, my appetizer is instead promised to show up months later when it's old and worthless, did I really get what you got? In August of 2015 none of the 300 attack exotics you got as an exclusive will be worth a shit to Xbox users, and neither will this strike that will then be massively out-leveled and useless by then. Xbox users 'getting' content in 2015 may as well not be receiving it at all, because it will be useless as anything more than a 'wow, I wish I could have played/used this when it mattered.'

Yeah it's totally unfair! X box has never had anything earlier than playstation! #sarcasm

4 RepliesBig deal... PS4 got the rights for awesome shit. Xbox, was an idiot lost out. Blame xbox not bungie. The more money the more freedom. It's just how the world works.
-
Be mad at Microsoft not Bungie, they're the ones who didn't make a deal so their players get bonus content.
-
Money. Its all about money. Nothing will change that. Im just glad im a ps user atm
-
Was confirmed a long time ago
-
Welcome to Capitalism. Just so you know PSN players are only getting exclusives for the first year, then they will all be opened up to our friends on Xbox and PC. (Once it comes out of PC)

Here we go again.

4 RepliesGet over it. Microsoft has plenty of exclusive. You are lucky it's on Microsoft platforms at all.

4 RepliesI think I can manage a valid argument as to why it's unfair. What if Assassin's Creed Unity or The Division came out for both consoles and then suddenly Xbox got exclusive missions, cooperative missions, and stuff to customize your character for both games completely free and PlayStation had to wait a full year before they got it? They would be pretty pissed off especially if they've been looking forward to the game for literally over a year and have absolutely loved all of the franchise's previous games. That's what this is like for Xbox owners.
