My take on Destiny favoring the Playstation community, and yours perhaps?

Please read at least most of this before replying, as I tend to change topics a lot, and its the second half that is the most important imo. I am an Xbox One and 360 owner. I am not a huge console war person, i don't think PS sucks, I don't insult people over console preference, I hope anyone replying agrees. Now, on the topic of exclusivity on PS in Destiny.. I am fine with small exclusivity like timed exclusive gear at launch that will most likely not matter 6 hours into the game, and I can live with the missing strike mission and the 2 multiplayer maps. I was a little angry at first when I wasn't able to play the alpha, but I got over it after I watched a bunch of Youtube videos. I also was not mad when I heard the beta was rumored to be 4 days early on Playstation, I thought 4 days isn't a big deal. Turns out the beta comes 6 days later and only lasts till the end of the 27th. So PS owners get 10 days of beta (technically 8 days, 2 days are down for maintenance) and Xbox owners get 4 days. Not to mention PS owners will most likely get post launch DLC first. Of course asking WHY this is happening would be silly, Sony won the highest bidder for Destiny exclusivity, Microsoft lost that. It's business. Correct me if I am wrong but Bungie has said they don't prefer one console over the other multiple times, and they feel like they aren't favoring the PS community over the Xbox community. You may be thinking what a load! How do they have the nerve to say that to me? However, it is not Bungie that is making Destiny favor the PS, on purpose. NEIGH, IT IS THE GREEDY F***** AT ACTIVISION... the publishers. Don't be mad at Bungie for Destiny not being equal across the platforms. Bungie would rather have it that way, it is Activision who took the money to hurt the gamers. Of course if I owned a PS I would be thrilled!! Wait no, I am a human being who has empathy. I would feel genuinely bad for the Xbox owners. That's how I feel with Xbox exclusive games. Anyways, my real point here is f*** Activision for hurting the gamers that allow them to exist for some more pocket change, and you shouldn't be mad at Bungie. I sincerely hope this whole timed exclusivity on PS doesn't go much further past launch. <3 the Beautiful Bastards and Let us Become Legend! However if you are an Xbox owner Activision is afraid to say that you must wait a month before you can become legend.

  • Sorry, but you can't just blame Activision. Microsoft is doing the same with Activision for COD:AW as Sony did with Destiny and even worse, Microsoft purchased the rights so that the PS and PC communities are excluded from buying Tomb Raider for next holiday season. There isn't even a timeframe given yet when I can purchase the next part of this franchise. Since the next gen systems basically play the same, this is the way to differentiate your gaming console if you don't have exclusive games available. Sony and Microsoft throwing money at publishers for exclusive content to make their consoles look more attractive. You need to throw Sony and Microsoft under the bus along with all the publishers they make these deals with.

      I completely, 100%, agree, and although I play on Playstation i feel for you and I wish everyone could get their content at the same time. Because in reality there's no big difference in the systems, we all just want to play vid games so why divide the community and give so much to one side and make the other wait a longass time for it. I can't imagine how much money sony would have thrown in activisions face for a deal like this. Hopefully in the future we could live in a gaming community where publishers don't take all this money from big corporations like sony and Microsoft so we can all just enjoy the same damn game at the same time. Anyways, respect to you, and, See you Starside, Fellow Beautiful Bastards and Guardians

    • I was a little confused about it at first but then I thought its whatever Destiny will still be an amazing game and they'll probably put out updates for xbox users as well.

      At least some people get it but your title is a little off because it sais Destiny is favouring PS players which it isn't it's just a game. Your right though it isn't bungie either, activision is who shops around for buyers Microsoft already pays a shit load for early CoD maps so they probably couldn't take on another early access game from activision and Sony was there to grab it up.

    • I play COD exclusively on playstation consoles and have never been pissed that the xbox guys get stuff first. Like u said, it's just business. And the timed exclusives for destiny? Again, like u said. Low level guns that nobody will give a damn about after 6 hours of play. So why are all these xbox dudes so butt hurt? It's really no big deal.

    • Imo I say they they have done the right thing to pull PlayStation gamers over, bungie will have already had a following from the halo days, although ( as an Xbox gamer ) I am frustrated at the fact we miss out on game content for a year! I believe, I think that's way too long, Xbox only gets a month head start on COD dlc!

    • Let them favor who ever they want. Either way people will buy the game and play it.

        It's all business, and Activision has always given timed exclusives to Xbox on Call of Duty. It's just the way the cookie crumbles. In the business world it's not all about favoritism, Activision is repaying Sony for funding their development.

      • I disagree about the reasons for PS exclusives. I believe Bungie had some role in it. For quite a few reasons. To branch to a new player base and spread the love that Xbox players have been receiving for over a decade. And also there is quite a bit of bad blood between them and Microsoft. Now they'd never admit that. That would be bad business. But it's there.

        • One day, some person out there, will just make a system, that can play anything, and everything, and as Gamer's, we can unite, and live as it was suppose to be, and not worry about console wars, or who & what is better. It's always better to have fun, socialize, and enjoy the ride I say!!

          • I think too many people are blowing out of proportion exclusive timed dlc and beta periods, there are preorder bonuses and collector card unlock codes, special codes for only special people. There is going to be enough loot that missing out on a few pieces of armor for a few months or even forever is not going to even register. In September you will be lvling your actual character and not a beta version that will be wiped, just have a little patients. Lets be honest this is just a game. 3,2,1,1,2,3 what the heck is bothering me.

          • I know what you mean and I'm not surprised that activision did this because they did the same thing with call of duty DLC being released a month earlier on Xbox. And also on playstation gamer and I do genuinely feel sorry for Xbox gamers for what activision did to them

          • I agree with the people saying it's just a marketing ploy to sell more PS consoles. Activision is just trying to save Sony from being bankrupt, which will happen within the decade.

            • There is something you guys are forgetting. Destiny is Suppose to be a 10 YEAR GAME!!! Which means that we will have multiple years of being able to play it. Not to mention the Sequels that they will undoubtably come out with because of how popular this game is and it hasn't even been released yet. So, for all the console fanboys/girls who think that PS is being favored, just remember that things could change in the next ten years.

              • Am I greedy since I swapped platforms (from X360 to PS4) to the machine that is on the better side of exclusive DLC this generation. . . perhaps.
