Xbox's Silver Lining and an End to Arguing

In light if the recent announcement and subsequent arguments over the exclusive Destiny content for PS4, there is a silver lining for those of us on Xbox. Destiny is, among many things, about creating a Guardian. What this exclusive content effectively does is make the vast majority of people on PS4 start their journeys the same way. They've simply hand-picked some weapons and armor from the game to give to PS4 players at the start. This hurts the individuality of the game in a way because instead of fufilling the idea of seeing a Guardian's achievements by just looking at them, you'll see a lot of players (originally) sporting the "exclusive" content. You might be saying, "Well once you level up people will wear better armor and use better weapons", but the thing is Xbox players don't have to deal with any of that. Our experience will be as authentic, vanilla, and realistic to lore as it can possibly be, and to me that's just as valuable as having exclusives that most PS4 players will be eager to take off after a few hours of gameplay, especially considering how ideological and devoted we are to Bungie here on their forums. This is definately an optimistic, glass half-full view, but to all Xbox players, just forget about the exclusive content and only worry about Xbox. You won't notice it's gone because it was never there in the first place. And to all the PS4 players, rub the exclusives in our face, you've earned the right. I genuinely hope you enjoy Destiny and the exclusives you receive, and I welcome you to the Bungie family. It's been a long time coming. This argument over exclusive content it exactly as if the Xbox players are the older sibling who is being "ignored" by their parents for a newborn sibling. In reality, the parents are only trying to nurture the baby and establish a relationship. I hope Xbox players can take a step back and understand why Bungie is doing what they're doing; after ten years of unaccomodation for the Playstation, they throw themselves with arms wide open at them to welcome them. We're better than this. Or at least we used to be. Can we end this argument and get ready for the Beta? Its less than a month away and we cannot have a house divided, for Bungie's sake.

    Im so sick of people complaing about timed exclusive content the xbox has had timed exclusive content for years get over it you blaming winers. Why do you people complain about it seriously? And savor the experience ha! You wouldnt be saying that if you liked the PS4 you people are like kids in a classroom playing cock of the walk and when you find out your dicks smaller youll go ahead and justify it with "oh ill savor having to start from the bottom ,but itll make the journey all the more worth while" please dont make me laugh, because no it wont you full of yourselves. If you were on the other "side" (I use that term loosely) you would be saying well we get exclusive content early with which to to get ahead start which puts us ahead of PS4 players. Now that your on the receiving end of things its ill make excuses to make myself still look good. No one single person cares its a timed exclusive you still get the content, honestly I would prefer that they get a permanent excluisve to get rid of this argument, your usual arguments of "well xbox players have been their support base and we deserve their content" jesus get out of here you women, further more no xbox isnt their support base they have a large support base across the board, xbox players are no more entitled to catering than play station for the simple historical fact that the PC and Mac owners who were not even so much as even given a game for some of the Halos' and the new Destiny game were completely forgotten. You get the game now shut the hell up and wait for you content and stop making excuses like your protecting your egos. You guys are something between a absolute benign stupidity, and the crusty saliva that builds up on the coner of your lips on a hot day when your thirsty. What do I mean by that I mean that no one really cares their more likely to acknowledge you when you come up with a better argument, because otherwise people are going to think of you as an annoyance to just be wiped away. Yes I took the time to write that im sick of xbox players feeling so entitled to stupid shit.
