Doesnt matter what one person thinks... for or against. However what the general community consensus thinks (any what they are willing to pay or not pay) does. Regardless of your personal opinion, take a quick measure of how the observable community is reacting. And I am not just talking about the toxic vitriol of the Bungie boards... glance at NeoGAF, Reddit, or even Planet Destiny. Regardless of justified or not, this is becoming a huge problem, and the community as a whole seems to be overwhelmingly upset.

  • The fact that all of you people are crying about a plastic coin and a dance saddens me . My friend got his XB1 with a free game and $100 less than I paid . Should all of us veteran Xbox owners start crying about being taken advantage of , or be thankful the company is trying to drum up sales and extend the life of the product ..

  • "You people crying" as you say, is representative of the observable community as whole. The analogy I believe you are trying to make is that veterans should not be mad at the packaging of content together, for a value, aimed at enticing new players. That makes sense and isnt the issue. What you are alluding to is the most common misconception of what the problem is. It makes me question if you really understand the issue, or if you are British, the issues.

    I'm a day one player who does see the value in this DLC . I don't give a -blam!- about dance moves and plastic coins . I can see at the very minimum 100hrs of gameplay for $40 . The only other thing I have noticed is a bunch of babies crying about a deal to try and rope new players in with .

    And you are more than welcome to your opinion, but at least consider the idea that not everyone may feel the same as you, and that doesnt mean that either of you are wrong. Again, the $40 dollars is not the issue. Its that if veteran player wants exclusives (for whatever reason, it doesnt matter) there is NO OTHER OPTION but to buy one of the $80 editions. The CE is priced reasonably for a new players, but decidedly less so for a veteran that would be rebuying the majority of the content. Its exploitative to veterans that happen to be collectors and devalues their previous purchases. The other major issue is that the price of TTK in Europe is going to be the same price as the original game. Imagine if TTK alone was being sold for $63 here? You have mentioned that to you, the value is in time played... and that is completely reasonable. Others might see how much content they got for $X and compare that to the TTK price tag. Is that wrong? No just a different way to look at it.

  • Well it's very simple let me explain to you . When a company puts a product on the market you the consumer need to decide if you are getting a deal for your money . If you think it's too much pass on it chances are you will get a better deal if you hold off . If youre a collector , you are probably going to pay a higher price early on to make sure you get that piece of shit happy meal toy for your no life trophy case . All that said prices have been set and products have been preordered already. Bungie doesn't make the price and activison won't lower the price of a preorder that is selling .

  • Thats certainly one way to look at it. And its not wrong. But surely by now you must realize not everyone, in fact the majority of players, dont see the situation in such simple terms. Do you know for a fact that Activision sets the prices? That Bungie has zero power in that arena? I would very much like to see how you know this. If the exclusives are so trivial to you, in fact are "shit happy meal toy for your no life trophy case", why do you care about the issue at all? If whether veteran collectors get the items at all has no real impact on you. Why are you so upset?

  • I'm not upset at all , in fact I'm laughing at all of you ppl . You're all over looking the added content with the $40.00 DLC price .true fans of the game are excited for it . I can understand the pain of the UK players . Then again I have yet to see the reason for that pricing , and am not jumping to conclusions . Since when did a game maker join up with a publishing company just to pay some of its own employees to do the work of the publishers ? . That doesn't sound right .

  • Your need to constantly belittle and name-call speaks volumes as to your emotional state... your actions are much more convincing than any words you type. You should know that I have no interest in buying the CE and dont value the exclusives at the extra $40 I would have to pay. I mention this for the sake of objectivity and that your assumption that "you all" is not as specific as you seem to think. True fans? What does that even mean? Who makes that determination? You? Is your voice representative of the Destiny community as a whole? [quote] Since when did a game maker join up with a publishing company just to pay some of its own employees to do the work of the publishers ? . That doesn't sound right .[/quote] So am I to assume that you do not have any evidence that confirms Activision sets the prices? Stating something as fact sadly does not make it so. Backing it up with speculation isnt exactly indemnifying. Read: http://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/357988/bungie-activision-contract.pdf I'll even save you time: Section 1A and 20.

  • [quote]Lol . You're too serious about this . [/quote] Is that supposed to be an insult? I should feel bad that I know what I am talking about? Would I be less serious if made random toxic posts insulting ppl and making assumptions that are wrong? [quote]So activision had the final say in price ( let's assume it went to vote ) .[/quote] Umm. Thats clearly not what it says. I feel like I am seeing a pattern in the value you place on your own assumptions... [quote]Yet you don't even have all the DLC ?......You don't have interest in the DLC , but you do arguing price values on the forum .... You're fn weird dude[/quote] ...Or maybe its reading comprehension? At no point did I say I didnt own the current DLC, nor did I say that I didn't have interest in TTK. CE stands for Collector's Edition, not Crota's End.

  • Stfu . That's great you brought to light a few facts . If you have no interest in any of the DLCs , then your opinions aren't even worth me responding to anymore . Why the -blam!- would you even care . The new content is a steal for $40 .If you can't afford the time or money to invest into the game, then get a new hobby . Or just keep lurking on forums for game modes you don't have interest in... Creeper

  • [quote]Stfu . That's great you brought to light a few facts . [/quote] Hmm that doesnt sound like laughing, Eric. [quote]If you have no interest in any of the DLCs , then your opinions aren't even worth me responding to anymore . Why the -blam!- would you even care . The new content is a steal for $40 .[/quote] I never said TTK wasnt worth $40. Perhaps you [i]should[/i] stop responding... you are just tripping over yourself now. [quote]If you can't afford the time or money to invest into the game, then get a new hobby . Or just keep lurking on forums for game modes you don't have interest in... Creeper[/quote] Where are you getting this from? What game modes are you even talking about? And lurking... creeper? Do you even know what those words mean? I think I have been pretty engaging and informative with my responses despite your attitude.
