Solutions for the future of Destiny's Xbox fans

Extend Beta past 26th for equal access

1295

Reduced DLC for Xbox

535

Equal but differing DLC content for both platforms

554

I'm writing this firstly because I believe like many of fans that this beta and others things are unfair. So PS users got an Alpha and that should have been enough, but to prevent Xbox users getting their fair share is just alienating us. I think the best thing to do instead of complain is to speak out and ask for this to be amended. So I've started a poll to ask what you guys would like to fix this. I personally think extending the Beta to be the same length as the PS users but extending post 26th, so they get their exclusive early access. There are other issues including DLC that contains more things for the PS than the Xbox, which will be charged at the same price on all platforms. Again this is equally unfair and one sided. To those PS user who will no doubt mock this post, please read carefully that I haven't mocked you and all I want is some form of active fair user policy for all of us. Please vote honestly and post your concerns, but please be constructive and help your fellow gamers. Also thanks to Darth Turelim for point out, that it would be really helpful if everyone who votes posts a comment to that effect. Please also share this out and maybe we can get something changed. Thanks

  • This just in, from the the desk of N. S. Sherlock: Game publishers are businesses. Businesses are in it to make money. Bungie is beholden to thier publisher (Activision). Consumers vote with their wallets, and consoles sales for next gen indicate that users are voting for PS4. Activision is not stupid, they know that MSFT is hemorrhaging money and Sony is in a better position to partner with. Sony is not stupid, they know that they will get a higher attach rate on thier platform by partnering with Activision

    This is going to be a lengthy rant. So... Get comfy. I'm a PS4 player who switched over from the 360 during the next gen crossing. As a lot of people are aware, Xbox used to get all the exclusives, early access, and basically foot-licking attention from game developers, companies, news outlets, and more. I hated it. I really did. I hated the fact that every time a new game came out there was animosity between systems. Nobody in their right mind was going to purchase an Xbox (having a PS3) just to get to those exclusives, and while I'm sure some newcomers came rolling it, it mostly created a dirty relationship between Xbox and PS fans. Then, I switched to PS4. I was planning on it even before Xbox started their whole DRM drama, because I was sick of paying a monthly fee (didn't escape that one), and not getting anything except a bunch of whiny kids for it. I didn't mind joining the other side, I wanted out of the money-sucking, dirty community that was anything Microsoft had to deal with. And then: Playstation. It was like they [i]knew[/i], like it was written in the stars, that as soon as I switched over, this same distaste for tainted spoils would follow me to the PS4. I understand that Bungie probably just wants to disestablish themselves from Microsoft, but what they need to realize is by playing the ball game from the other team like this that they're perpetuating this dirt that has plagued the gaming community for a while. "Cross-platform" should actually mean it, not dressing up as cross-platform and flipping through a Burn Book with a swollen, pissed off lip seeing how else they can get back and their X(box). Ugh. I just want everyone to have a fun experience. None of this "sorry, you chose the wrong side" crap. I want to be sharing stories about how much fun I'm having with everyone, because I've got friends on both Xbox and Playstation. If you want to tailor your game for one of the two audiences, then do so. But don't prance around like you're selling the same experience to both sides when you're obviously being a passive-aggressive company about it, getting paid to wiggle your game around in one groups face while slapping the other group with it. Sorry for the rant. If you've actually read this, kudos to you. I just wanted to get this out, haha. Honestly, I don't know about [i]extending[/i] the beta, but offering both consoles the DLC at the same time is definitely a must.

    • Xbox users need to grow up and realize that sometimes life isn't fair. Microsoft could have stepped up and supported you, its users, in the same fashion that sony did. Unfortunately for you, the company you support doesn't give a shit about you in return. If you want it to be fair, get a playstation. Otherwise, just quit your whining and deal with it. Bungie doesn't owe you anything. Microsoft does.

          • Well.... You do get CoD and Battlefield DLC early (And have done for years and years), I think it's fair. Both games are from the same publisher anyway. CoD's Microsoft's baby, and Destiny is Sony's. :L

              One answer missing from poll "shut up complaining its a business" I'm xbox and ps4 and even I'm sick of the moaning get over it you can't have it all your own way xbox fans - stop sobbing. It a business and ps4 got the best deal probably coz they paid more, simple. Nothing YOU do or say will change anything.

                But when the xbox 360 had 10 years of timed exclusives, content limited to only it, and more attention it was perfectly fair. As a disclaimer I've owned a 360 and never owned a PS3. This bull-blam- is silly.

              • As far as I'm aware its not actually the DLC that cost more (while XB gets less) it's actually the season pass that cost the same while reducing the actual content. Personally I don't feel you should charge that Bungie should charge the same because it's not the same amount of content and thats why I'm not gonna support the season pass buying it.

              • No matter what dlc not available for one side for a full year is extreme. I could understand a month or two but it's really unfortunate that the gaming industry is going this way and who says that it won't happen again but next time to the PS players for COD or Battlefield or an future expansion for Destiny? Either way it should bother all gamers from all platforms and all should stand together on this issue because this can become a standard.

              • I picked the first one because it would be appreciated by the entire community. As an Xbox player I don't feel at all alienated by bungie. I doubt they had any say in the matter, and even if they did I'd rather be pissed at Microsoft for not being willing to pony up the cash for their own deal in what is obviously going to be an outstanding game. Ps isn't getting anything I won't eventually get so I don't care.

              • Ps pays for this kind of stuff given they have no exclusives. It's ok guys there are better games coming out and by the time you beat destiny the dlc will probably be realesed. I honesty won't care when the master chief collection comes out HELL YEAH

              • I agree, give the ps players early access but don't lock down content for them like WTF. In COD we get early access but we don't lock stuff out for ps players. This is just bull shit, we are paying the same amount and getting less.

                • I'm an xbox user and I feel like we should get the same season pass content as playstation users. Especially since we're paying the same price. Other than that I could care less. Yeah, playstation gets DLC a year in advance, but hey they paid for it.

                  Xbox players didn't complain when they got it early it wasn't unfair then you guys got cod map packs early I think I had to wait forever to get dlc on skyrim. I mean it sucks but it's business, complaining all the time won't do much. the game will still sell a boat load of copies with or without your singular support. Not that your really complaining but your grief topic is just that it's a topic about something that can't and won't be changed by someone who is on the raw end of the deal.

                  • So what? I'm tired of hearing that some of you Xbox users are complaining about this PS exclusive stuff. I've played CoD on PSN for years and had to deal with you guys getting every DLC a month ahead of PSN, but I never complained. Now finally Sony got their shit together and is beating Xbox, and now you guys are crying about Destiny? Get out of here, stop posting these useless threads.
