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.

  • I'm a PS4 user. I got all the free content. I didn't like tons of PS exclusive content (for example little big planet.) I can laugh all day about xbox users getting less game for the same price. But I actually can't laugh about it. If it was the other way around I would be very very annoyed. So yeah OP, I agree with you. Exclusive content is kind of crap. I feel empathy for your troubles.

      • I was okay with the exclusives by platform at launch. The DLC content is too limited. And exclusive raid is too much. I paid full price, I should get the full content. A few guns and one PVP map for game launch, fine. This is DLC. I'm not going to make the "I hate Bungie I'm quitting", but yeah, enthusiasm officially nipped in the bud. Won't order further DLC. If I pay for an expansion, it needs to be the complete expansion. And really, why am I being treated like a "second class citizen" by a game company based on what gaming platform I prefer?

      • Will the extra strike for playstation be a part of the DLC or will it be available for playstation users who do not buy the DLC? If it is available for playstation users who do not purchase the DLC then there is nothing to complain about when buying the DLC. If it is something extra playstation user get when purchasing the DLC then, yeah, there should be quite an outcry.

        • This is the first expansion pack that adds a moon raid and more, the VOG will still be there. Also all PS4 exclusive content was only a weapon back and a few ships which is timed so in a few months they will be available to xbox.

              • So with the New Raid coming in will Vault of Glass be taken down and out? If so what a waste. I mean look how many people havent played it yet or others have played it for all its worth.

                • God, I hope bungie is addressing the issue too. Events, Weapons, Strikes, All the stuff that PS got, it's not fair that Microsoft didn't pony up more money so I could have them too. It's only fair if we get it now that Sony already paid for it. It's a business practice. That's just the way it is. You have choices, Wii, X1, PS4, PC, 3DS. Different companies. So they're all going to try and have their own things to get you to buy their product. That's just how it is. Microsoft wants me to go buy CoD on their console cause they'll have timed exclusives for it. I 'have' to buy sunset overdrive for my X1 cause Capcom is firmly in microsofts pocket. I play Destiny on PS4 cause Sony paid out for exclusives. Unless you go and start a revolution where only one game console will ever exist in the world, there will always be competition.

                    • interesting that on disk DLC or day one DLC/preorder stuff get's so much hate, even by the ones who get it, but this sounded fine for many? I don't see the point of all the rivalry in either console, sure sales and whatnot, but both communities have a abyss of assholes who scream in terror... i just bought a 360/one because i wanted to play videogames, and xbox's controller just happens to feel better to me, but damn people would probably argue which console has the better screws in it.

                          This is not BUNGIES fault. Go whine to Microsoft for not making a deal themselves!

                        • At first i thought this wouldn't annoy me, because i wouldn't see it. No locked strikes or content, why should i care its just one strike and two (very good?) exotics but since the biggest flaw in destiny is the lack of content I'm appalled by this.. Day of release, ok i get it you are giving Microsoft the finger for Halo, but all future dlcs as well? Bungie cmon i thought we were friends, i love you. You made halo.. I feel like im being cheated on.. Ps. Can we please stop some fanboy war here? No we(xbox) are not whining just saying that paying the same for a dlc is strange..try to see it from our perspective cmon. Empathy people...
