Exclusive content the problem
is the analogy below accurate
you and me (playstation and xbox) go into the best burger joint in town we both order the EXACT same meal (sirlon burger, all the trimming, beer battered french fries, and nice big mug of warm beer (not any of our american sissy stuff either, REAL beer...maybe a dark sour) now we both gets our plate (and mug) but low and behold, my meat patty is missing, i mea EVERYTHING else is there, the tamotoes, onions, pickles etc etc, but my meat patty is gone, i go to the waiter and ask "wth man" he simply goes, the meat patty is a play station exclusive for the next month, don't worry you will get yours in 1 month.(now remember, we both paid the EXACT same for our food, and at the EXACT same time) oh well we eat our meals, enjoy our fries, and drink our stouts. a month soon passes, you remind me "oh xbox, you sirloin patty at BBIT(best burgers in town) comes out today, you should go ahead and go get it, hell i will go with you, we can pick up another meal.
So we head back.
The waiter comes out and tell use, hey we have a new special today, the year 2 kahuna burger (favored by mr blonde), would you like that while i go and get your meat patty? me and you, we look at eachother and go "sure why not" we pay for our new kahuna burgers meals, fry, a think and foamy stout, and out come the wait, two please, with delicous steam rising from them, it's salivating seeing the waiter come out with those two plate, and i can't wait to be burping and reminiscing about our great meals.
the waiter sets down the plate, low and behold, a side of beer batter fries rich adn dark gold, a nice golden bun, lettuce, teh triping, souce dripping from the side.
AND A MISSING -blam!-ING PATTY...again(but wait, the waiter has a little dinky second palte with him, maybes it's my missing patty)
it IS my missing patty...from a month ago...it's shrivaled, and dried, it seem to bee growing fur, and i dare say, it has a mushroom spouting from the side. i ask teh water where is my big karuna patty?
"Thats a playstation exclusive for another month, here is your patty from last month"

1 ReplyEdited by XiX_GhOsTx_XiX: 9/15/2015 1:51:53 AMThat's a terrible analogy. It's more like this: You and I (Xbox user and PS user) walk into a burger joint and we both order the exact same thing, and when our order shows up I have an extra side dish with my meal but you don't. I ask the waiter why I got it and you didn't, the waiter responds 'Well Sony decided to pay the money for you to get an extra side, Microsoft chose not to for your friend so they only got what they ordered. But in a year we will be including that side dish with the meal at no extra charge for anyone'. Hopefully I've put it in such a way that you're able to understand.

Except here's the thing, you choose to play on Xbox, and Xbox refused to pay the consoles exclusives unlike Playstation. It's not really your fault, it's just the way capitalism works

Xbox started the exclusive content trend. Blame them

3 RepliesNot even close. You compare it to the main item of the order, as opposed to a smaller item in the overall package like romaine lettuce and roma tomatoes instead of iceberg lettuce & beefsteak tomatoes. You compare it as getting it from the same location, when the reality is you get it from 2 locations. YOU went to Kahuna Burger on Main Street. I went to Kahuna Burger on Broadway which offers the additional side items. YOU were informed Main Street doesn't have the additional items, yet you went there anyway. I went to Broadway knowing Main Street doesn't offer those items. Now YOU want to complain that people who went to the Broadway location got a better deal.

Okay, the are so many problems with your analogy im not gonna touch it. However, the main issue with the exclusives is that they last an entire year. Other than that they're fine
-
Nope. Destiny isn't the burger joint, it's the burger. Playstation and Xbox are the burger joints. [spoiler]God, this is a stupid conversation.[/spoiler]

1 ReplyThis brings up want I have been saying for forever playstation is full of douchebags (company and players) now not everyone is bit there are slit who are

Who cares let Sony get their timed exclusives.

1 ReplyNow let's say that I'm the owner son and you're not... That would explain why I would get more stuff right? I guess you can say Activision is bungies dad :P

Ur hilarious I love it

Ps don't get exclusives they gets things way earlier than xbox we get to use hawkmoon Monte Carlo Etc today on xbox so stop your whining and pipe down

*1 year

Problem with your logic... Sony actually paid QUITE A BIT for those exclusives, Microsoft did not.
-
Remember: you do not buy the game itself. You buy a license to play this game.
-
I don't know why everyone thinks we paid for it... The exclusive content is not something that you paid for rather it was something that bungie gave us as a gift and with held it from Xbox is all. It was not bought a year earlier. It was free to begin with.

1 ReplyA couple strikes and guns is hardly the meat patty... more like them forgetting your pickles. NBD

Edited by iInfinityLimit: 9/14/2015 11:20:10 PMOk... To my dumb Xbox brothers, Business contract. Deal with it. To the playstation people, Bringing up old timed exclusives is pointless. This is similar but not entirely. In example, The cod dlc was released 1 month later for you. Ok kinda lame but here's the thing, you did not pay for it yet. When it is released then you pay for it and get it. In destinys case, The exclusive stuff is released 1 year later. Here's the kicker. We already payed for it and it is held from us for one year. That's what pisses most off. Those on Xbox getting pissed have their right to be pissed, [b][i][u]but...[/u][/i][/b] STFU and deal with it. You sound like babies. (majority probably are on these forums) It's business and that's how the contract was written. I personally don't care for the exclusives as I'll get them eventually anyway and they aren't anything worth crying about. Again to the sad disappointments to the Xbox community, grovel in silence as nobody wants to hear you cry like a pansy.

I'd rather piss blood out my ass than drink warm beer

Now you feel our pain with call of duty and other games... and this analogy is bad. Guess why. Playstation exclusive content is the lettuce. Not the patty. Your entire analogy is invalid right there, simply because your analogy implies that Xbox players are missing the meat of the game which would include the raid, most exotics, and most strikes. But you're not. You're missing a couple exotics and a strike or 2.
-
Edited by SwagmasterG27: 9/14/2015 11:07:06 PMYeah but Xbox played less to get the exclusives. Its one of the perks of supporting cheapskates. [spoiler]Jk I love Xbox, timed exclusives are stupid.[/spoiler]

No, it isn't accurate. You're looking at gross amount paid, and not net amount received. Person A has 10 and lives in a city where the sales tax is 20%. Person B has 10 and lives in a city where the sales tax is 5%. Both spend 10, but person B could buy $9.50 worth of goods, while person A could only buy $8.00 of goods. It is not unreasonable that person A has less goods than person B - even though they both spent $10.00. Microsoft is essentially taxing the money that you paid for the game more than Sony is taxing. Because of the lower Sony tax, Playstation owners are getting more content.

Edited by VyersReaver: 9/14/2015 11:04:29 PMSo 1 gun, strike and shitty armor that no one will wear (cuz raid armor is the best there is) equates to the best part of a burger? I'd rather exclude salad, and debatably it became better. But this analogy is wrong at core point: you and your friend don't do anything different in the analogy, while in RL you bought different consoles. I think that equates to going to different joints and ordering the same menu item (T-Bone Steak), but getting different sauce with it. Or no additional sauce at all for you.
-
I think the meat would be like the endgame content being exclusive. Now that would seriously suck. Exclusive crap is still stupid as hell though.
-
Two reasons your scenario isn't relevant: 1. Both people would have known prior to entering the restaurant that one would have X option while the other had X+1. 2. Disregard number 1 because both parties would not be going to the same restaurant getting different meals for the same price; they would be going to two different restaurants altogether where their meals had the same price but one came with onion rings while the other didn't.
