Ok so recently on Facebook someone had pointed out that the fallen were using the new elder cypher exotics. All at once everyone started bitching that it was cut content and blah blah blah not even reading the cards to figure out that they are modified versions of the fallen weapons, which I pointed out. Still people griped that the game was stripped. So eventually I couldnt take it anymore and had to reply and I figured I'd share it here too. Now I am full expecting the hate to be strong here but here's the thing, I don't give a -blam!- if you wanna hate on me for this, it's the truth and you can either act like an adult or be a baby about it. And to Bungie if they see this, especially you DeeJ, this is NOT me sticking up for the prices of your DLC. They are high for not a lot of content, though I can't say anything yet for TTK but the last two haven't really been $20 a pop worthy. This is me sticking up for the you in the fact of I don't really thing Bungie stripped the game to make a paywall and sticking up for ALL DLC as an accessory to games and not needed. I've been with bungie since my first Xbox and a copy of Halo: Combat Evolved, and I love you guys but I don't wanna see you going the way of Activision ok? Here's my comment that I posted on Facebook: And for all you griping about the game being stripped, may I just point out that if the game, as it is now, was sold with ALL DLC ON DISC it would have been a multi disc game, and that means you'd have to constantly switch discs to do certain things. Now before you go off on the new version of the game getting all 3 DLCs, it will most likely have just the unlock codes for each DLC stored on that disc as well as the base game, then when you put it in your playstation you'll have a huge ass update to download. Secondly, just cause it was all planned from the beginning doesn't mean that they made the game fully and then dissected it to hide features behind a paywall. I'm pretty sure George RR Martin isn't just sitting on the manuscript for the new Game of Thrones book and just waiting, though I'm sure he has it all planned out how it'll go, maybe even has a shortened version of the timeline written down somewhere, all that's left is to fill in the rest on paper in time. Yes there are hints at all the DLC in the game; no that doesn't mean it's fully flushed out and was gutted to make money. If that was the case we would never get incremental updates to the game, as it would already be finished, adding hooks for future DLC and balancing gameplay. That's just not how programming works and while I'm no fan of the high prices of DLC it's just part of the game and you either get it or you don't have the money or you're stingy with money (not necessarily a bad thing) and don't get it. Choice is yours. They advertised this project as a ten year experience, did you REALLY think that you'd get all ten years at $60 a pop? If so you're being delusional. Third, bungie is out to make money. It's a business. Now I would like to think that if you put a bunch of money into something and sold it at $60 and then after it was released put a bunch more things into it and a bunch more money into it you'd expect to get a little more for the added content. You are lying to yourself if you say otherwise. Take it this way, when you buy a phone it comes with a charger and usually a crap set of headphones. Now afterward a new set of headphones comes out just for your model of phone, do you expect them to just hand those over saying "oh you already bought a phone, here you go at no charge!" No! You have to buy the new accessories for your phone. DLC is pretty much a video game accessory. You DONT NEED IT to play the game. But as with anything, with no new content you will get bored. That's why DLC is such a big thing in this gaming era. DLC keeps people coming back for more for essentially the same thing. Boycott it if you want, I'll be the one sidestepping you in the GameStop to pick up my collectors edition cause I like that sort of shit. For every one of you that says -blam!- it I'm not paying there will be 3 more to take your place. You're not hurting bungie. Just yourself. In the end guys, either get the DLC or don't. The only one yore gonna hurt is you, if you don't like something don't support it.
