Hey, Guardians. I'm here to tell you that, contrary to seemingly popular belief, large amounts of content were not cut prior to Destiny's launch. Why? How do I know? I don't (I really do), but I'm 99% certain, and for good reason: There is no reason to think so. [i]No evidence.[/i] What evidence can you possibly show me that proves beyond all reasonable doubt that large amounts of content were cut from Destiny? The Reddit AMA? [i]Don't even try going there.[/i] See below. This Reddit AMA with the "Bungie employee", 404Architect, was a [b]troll[/b], according to the great company that is Bungie (DeeJ, specifically). To quote DeeJ: [u]"You are being trolled, Internet. Don't let it happen. Bungie employees are easy to spot in the wild."[/u] If DeeJ's word isn't enough for you (and I certainly wouldn't be surprised if it isn't, many of you forum goers seem to possess a rather irrational hatred for him and blame him for your bad luck and shortcomings), take it from myself and all the other people who agree with me (which is a lot). There is [i]nothing[/i] to indicate that the post has any validity whatsoever. Nothing. Zero. If you truly believe that significant portions of content were cut from Destiny without a shred of credible evidence (which you very likely do not have), you're gullible. If I'm wrong, however, I ask that someone provide me with credible evidence. If you can successfully do that, I will edit this OP and label myself a buffoon, as well as give you credit for proving me wrong. I've done all the research I've thought to be pertinent to the subject and, along with my solid trust of (in my opinion) the greatest ever game development company that I love so dearly, this is where I have acquired my conspicuously radiating confidence on the subject. "It's simple, I Wear Clothes. Bungie said in a 2013 ViDoc that we can go from Earth to Venus to Mars to the Moon, to Saturn. Where's Saturn?" If you didn't already know, [b]Destiny has a ten year plan.[/b] These things have time to make their appearances. "But, muh concept art!" [b]Destiny concept art is not game content.[/b] It's beautiful and awe inspiring, but not game content. Yes, a few things have been changed and very [i]minor[/i] things have been cut (Most if not all for the better, do you really think that not needing materials to upgrade an exotic weapon is how it should be?). Still, nothing SIGNIFICANT has been cut, which is my argument. Yes, Destiny's initial "promise" and the finished product don't fully align (it was not false advertising by any stretch, but merely a showcase of the game at the time, which was all it was intended to be). That does not mean we are in any way missing out on the great experience Bungie has envisioned for us. Give them more credit, especially those of you who have played Halo and explored its universe. For shame. Destiny is a groundbreaking game with [i]plenty[/i] of content on its way to us, and [i]plenty[/i] here for us now for that matter. You might say that I'm wrong. Perhaps you'll say that I'm a sheep. Or, maybe, you'll say that my fanboyism is obscuring the truth from me. Yes, my fanboyism is strong, but so are my facts. See you starside, Guardians, and Per Audacia Ad Astra. *drops mic and undesirable green engram* Edit: Some well-worded arguments, as well as some "arguments" that appear to be coming from 3rd graders. It seems that about half of you agree with me. I have been [i]somewhat[/i] proven wrong by a couple people, but not regarding anything that would significantly alter the game, and I already stated that minor things were changed or cut in this original post. It's fun to debate with those of you who are respectful and have a normally functioning brain. By far the most common argument I'm seeing is "ON DISC DLC!!! That proves you wrong!". But it doesn't. Not only is it not unheard of for games to ship with on disc DLC, but the argument itself holds no validity. There is no proof that content has been cut and set up as future DLC. I've looked through all of your posts, including the ones made by monkeys, and I still need to watch/skim through a 35 minute video (which I'll get to).
