Why my pre-order for this game is being cancelled

As an Xbox owner, am I s lightly miffed that Bungie made their next game more exclusive towards Playstation? Not at all. I don't have a problem with exclusive items in games based on where you purchase them or what console you own... as long as they are average to pretty good guns, weapon skins, character skins, or different characters.. My problem comes in when the other party gets additional maps and story modes and more specifically what this is about timed DLC. Now hear me out, as an Xbox owner I have been on the beneficial side of the timed dlc's from the Call Of Duty games. Even then I thought it was ridiculous that the Playstation users had to wait an additional month just because they played on a different console.. But, I can understand that when a company pays for a large sum of the cost it makes to make the game, they want some sort of beneficial factor working in their favor that might push others to purchase their console and make more money instead. This however, IS RIDICULOUS! Not only has that never convinced anyone I know to get one console over another, but even if it did, there is absolutely no way for them to keep track of whether that money spent was really worth spending! Just because a certain game sold more on Xbox than it did on Playstation and the game had timed dlc does not mean that the timed dlc had any actual effect on console sales; which lets be honest, is what they are really trying to push. Again, my problem here is mostly the fact that Xbox users have to wait an ENTIRE YEAR for new content!!! That is way more extreme than any other timed DLC I have heard of from a multiplatform game on release. That coupled with the max level cap of 20; and my experience with the leveling system in the beta. Brings me to the simple reason of why I am cancelling my pre-order for this game. With a max level of 20 and us Xbox players not getting any new content for an entire year AT LEAST means this most certainly a game to rent from gamefly for a month or two, have the fun that the (likely) somewhat limited map and the level cap quickly approaching - and the simple fact that loot scavenging is only fun for so long; return the rental and then forget about it entirely. A great game indeed, but limited content and not getting equal treatment will ruin this game for me... If they made it so that if you buy the season pass on the xbox versions than that cut down the wait time on all dlc from a year to a month or so that would be a much more do-able alternative that would not only boost their sales, but still make Sony and Activision happy by keeping content a priority on the Playstation versions.

  • Sony paid up, Activision and Bungie complied. Also there is a lot of content in the game, Bungie said the leveling is supposed to be very fast. Instead you are supposed to spend the time getting great gear. They call it horizontal progression, where you level up your focuses and do hard missions. Also there is light level attached to your armor that increases your level.

  • Bungies "migration to PlayStation" is basically a giant hint at which system people should buy. I've been an Xbox dude for years, but I trust Bungie on their call for which system is "better". Working at Gamestop, as well as studying marketing...also seems to help me understand which of the two products is better. The extra stuff on PS wasn't a bash to Xbox people, it was a giant f**king hint from Bungie that "PlayStation 4 is a better system". Think, guys. Xbox doesn't win this console war "because exbawx". PlayStation will win simply because they designed a GAME SYSTEM. NOT an entertainment system. Lawyered. Logic. Thought.

  • I grow tired of people not reading the fine print, but: The only confirmed things that will not be launched for over a year on Xbox are exclusive bits [i]within[/i] the expansion DLC. We're still buying a full DLC (or getting our season passes) for the same price as PS and will get the DLC itself shortly after they do. As a fully priced DLC, we'll get the meat of it. We may miss out on the sprinkles (a gun or two, maybe some armor), but we'll get the story content when we get the DLC itself. They're not just going to cut out a key part of the expansion and say "sorry, you have to wait to finish that." The DLC would be reviled and people wouldn't buy it anymore on Xbox if it was missing significant content. To boot, that timed exclusive content within the DLC (which, again, I predict won't be huge in the grand scheme of things) won't be exclusive for a year. Fall 2015 is a year after the [i]game[/i] launches, not the DLC, which will come probably a good while after. So sure, we may have to wait on a specific gun or armor set, but we're playing the beta right now. You know that armor and weapons are often a dime a dozen. The DLC will still probably introduce new armaments to Xbox as well, just without some of the options Playstation gets for a little while longer. If that's what's causing you to cancel your pre-order (a [i]sliver[/i] of the DLC being exclusive for a few months, tops), I feel bad for you, son. Destiny's fun on Xbox, and I for one am stoked about it.

    • You've totally twisted the meaning of the timed exclusive. It's not for ALL content. It's for that specific package of content. The rest of the content that they release in the future will most likely receive equal treatment. The ONLY things you have to wait a year for are: A strike. A multiplayer map. Some armor, guns, and ships. If that's enough to make you cancel your preorder, I don't want you in my community anyway. That's nothing to be upset over, especially considering ALL the shit that playstation players had to wait for during the entire life cycle of last generation. As an Xbox user, I understand their plight, and I'm perfectly happy to take my turn waiting for content. We'll all have it in the end anyway. Now, max level: The max level is a bit ambiguous. From what I've heard, you hit level 20, and then level out laterally, meaning this: You stop having increased general stats each time you level up, and instead the experience you earn unlocks new perks, gadgets, and abilities, as well as building on new subclasses. Technically the cap isn't level 20, the cap is whatever happens when you've unlocked everything in every class, which I imagine would take a hell of a long time. I can't believe how many times I've had to explain the timed content. It's literally nothing to be upset about. You're missing out on a handful of armor and guns in a game that has, what, hundreds of armor pieces? Maybe thousands? Not to mention the game has 23 confirmed strike missions. You're missing out on one of those. Just. One.

      • Level 20 is the soft cap. You earn motes of light after that to keep going up not sure how high it goes past that.

        • Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, posts like this are what make xbox users look like a bunch of whiny brats. Go back to defiance and call of duty.

          • I think you're assuming some things and ignoring other things. I would do my research before going on a rant condemning something. Just a hint.

          • That wouldn't make sony happy at all, you must not understand how it works. Sony pays to keep it that way. It helps sony with their system, if Xbox had that deal where if they buy the season pass it adds less time. Then it wouldn't help them at all. Essentially I doubt that Xbox will get anything like that.

          • Actually us xbox guys will get the dlc around the same time if not the exact same time as ps the only difference is ps might get some exclusive guns or a couple pieces of armor but just to correct you we will get dlc the same time. The ps exclusives is what the timed exclusives are not the whole dlc. Hopefully this might change your mind.
