[b]Edit[/b]: Keep in mind, Bungie has a publisher, publishers usually negotiate deals and do the advertising and set the release date and influence development and such. Working and majoring in the financial field, I'm just about certain that Activision made exclusivity deals for major cash. Those exclusive deals are NO JOKE!

If I didn't think things were bad before, I'm afraid to imagine what half of you think about this new information as of 10/29.
Obviously, you know the DLC will have 3 missions, 1 strike, 1 raid, and 3 PVP maps, however Xbox platforms will be shorted on PS exclusive strike called "The Undying Mind". Yes. Even though you paid the same price as everyone else, again, you get shorted. My opinion on the matter is that I gave up a while ago when I got lvl 3 IB. I bought the Pass for $10 and I may not even play it lol. It is the practice that I do not support.
[i]"As part of [b]Sony's [/b]DLC exclusivity deal with [b][u]Activision[/u][/b], PlayStation players get an extra strike called The Undying Mind, set in the Black Garden, as well as a new exotic item."[/i]
So, so far the tally for exclusive PS content is.
[b]2 strikes-
[/b]
Dust Palace
The undying mind.
[b]1 PVP map-
[/b]
Exodus Blue
[b]3 armor [u][i]SETS [/i][/b][/u]-
[b]Manifold[/b]- Warlock
[b]Vanir[/b]- Titan
[b]Argus[/b]- Hunter
[b]2 Exotic weapons-
[/b]
Hawkmoon
Monte Carlo
(and more apparently in the DLC)
[b]3 Ships-[/b]
Aurora wake
Crypt Hammer
Outrageous Fortune (How Ironic..)
If you ask me, that is DLC [b]right there.[/b]
[spoiler]But I digress. Let's take a oment aside to remember the real tragic losers in this prediciment. The ones who WISH they had this problem. [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSz16ngdsG0]The early Wii U adopters[/url]
[/spoiler]
What other exclusive content do you think they will have for the next $20 expansion? A raid?
My opinion is that by the time the MAYBE timed exclusive content comes out, the game would have found the bin. I ust don't think Bungie/Activision is in the position to be burning bridges.

3 RespuestasYou were shorted because Sony fought for the extra content (which so far is very poor, mind you), and you didn't buy their console. There is 0 reason to be mad over it. 0

Its just the nature of exclusivity deals. They have been around as long as consoles.

4 RespuestasSony Don't care. Microsoft don't care. Bungie don't care. Activision don't care. Most people will have both consoles as there are desirable games on both. That's the war being fought now..not which console will you get, but WHEN will you get the other one? 65% of my friends have both...those that don't say they'll probably get both. 10 years is a long time. Its fracking ridiculous to charge the same price for a product, and yet give less to particular format. But business is ridiculous.... because these big guns don't give a frack about gamers. They care about numbers, and that's all we are to them... Little numbers and silly Gamer tags... All with obvious disposable cash to buy the entertainment. Film is unfortunately waning.... Interactive computer gaming is on the rise... Most actors have now added their voices to multitudes of games. And its all down to money... Money doesn't give a frack about anyone. Its just cares about making you part with more of it.

6 RespuestasWhy does no one blame Microsoft? They have bungled their counsel since its unveil. Why is it a surprise that they are missing the boat with this game as well. Besides, other games have XBox exclusives. Here again, though, Microsoft keeps messing up by jumping in with terrible exclusive games.

5 RespuestasEditado por miggyriggz: 10/30/2014 4:52:17 PMI cant believe some brainless PR as$hat thought by having these exclusive to PS I would instead go and buy their console!? No I'll just do without the little pissy extras thanks. -blam!-ing advertisement departments man - they should be hung drawn and quartered.
-
6 RespuestasAs an xb1 owner I don't care about the exclusive content when it is a pvp map or weapons or armour but strikes and stuff like this is not right to keep exclusive. To the people moaning about we got halo Microsoft was the publisher so why would the give it to a competitor ? Hence why you got uncharted and Kill zone. You lost Final fantasy and Lara croft as an exclusive as Sony majorly ucked up. The reason why some of the content is unfair is because when it is available we wont need to play it as we will be past it.
-
Armor sets don't count because they're really worthless blues... otherwise yeah it is pretty lame. Yall should at least get to unlock the ps4 exclusives in the dlc.
-
The only thing I would be upset about is the maps, strikes and weapons. The armour is just rare armour so it's not even worth getting upset about. The ships are just ships. Nothing interesting or special about them.
-
Man, that isn't really fair, sorry man
-
1 RespuestaReally, of all the exclusive content the only item/thing that Xboners are truly missing out on is Hawkmoon. Holy crap, is it awesome (rocking it now on my hunter)!
-
Get a ps4 stupid
-
I understand where you are coming from, but in all honesty the exclusive stuff to just us ps players isn't anything to be mad about. The extra strike isn't anything special just like all the others, you can't speed run through it and there are three smaller boss compared to the normal one. Let's be honest until the up matchmaking strike pass lv 24 does it matter what strike you do. I'm not a big fan of that strike and could careless if I had it or not. For the exotic aspect the Monte Carlo isn't really viable in pvp with the awful kick and the lowered damage and precision damage lowered. And in the same respect isn't one of the top options for pve. Hawk moon is probably your only compliant for exclusive content. It is a great gun but at the end of the day it's an exotic so you can equip another exotic. Ice breaker is such a great option that tend to use that over the hawkmoon specially soloing weeklies and nightfall. For the pvp map you are missing is that really a game breaker. At a certain point you just learn map patterns and every map is just played to your style. What routes you run where to camp or rush. Not having the map just makes matchmaking easier less maps to remember. Yes it sucks that you are missing out on content but the grass isn't always greener on the other side

Man I've seen so many of these posts and I don't know why people are surprised. This happens all the time. Playstation users experience the same thing with every Call of Duty dlc. Sony threw down a TON of cash, it's a contract, and it's not going to change. No reason to get so upset over it. If you don't like it, don't get it. If you bought into the hype and got the expansion pack that is your own fault for not doing the research on it...
-
Yeah sony fought for a deal. Not your fault, and I understand why you're pissed. However this is a battle we have no control over. It's a titanic battle with bagillions of $ and we are little more than ants.
-
You might as well remove the armor sets. They are trash, just like early access to vanguard armory.
-
1 RespuestaThis whole situation has basically been a game of whoever throws the most money at the stripper first. Sony just seems to be the one to get it this time.
-
They got to give sony something barely will have anything else to play this holiday season
-
20 RespuestasWell I wanted to play Titanfall on the PS4, that's not as bad as you missing out on one strike mission.
-
The dust palace is the dumbest strike going, the armor sets you speak of are blue gear if I'm not mistaken, I broke down my monte carlo, but the PvP map I never use is pretty good.
-
Read the damn bungie update you whiny b*tch. You guys get a strike so pull your panties out of your ass
-
7 RespuestasIm sorry but playstation owners have never felt the warm touch of halo! let them have an extra strike! I have a life time of happiness that starts all over again when MCC comes out :) plus this game really isn't anything special anyway.
-
Out of all that stuff, only Hawkmoon is worth a damn. Dust Palace is the same strike with 3 bullet sponge bosses instead of one. The PvP map is maybe the worst of them all. The armor is level 20 blue armor. Monte Carlo isn't even mentioned. Bad Juju at least gets brought up for how horrible it is. Monte Carlo might as well not exist. Nobody thinks ships matter. As a PS user I feel almost as slighted as the Xbox community, as much like the game, we were made to think we were getting something special. Not so much. Rest easy Xbox players, you're not missing out.

33 RespuestasFor once Sony gets something first and now Xbox players freak out, it happens it's what they want they want gamers to be against each other rise up sales. It will come to Xbox eventually u just have to be patient and if patience is the problem then go play another game till u get bored of that.
