If games started to go with the model you are saying games are going to start costing upwards of $120 and have even MORE delayed releases. Im fine with $60 and then get the DLCs if I want

Absolutely not. The game was very lean in the beginning.

Edited by DirtyDownstairs: 9/14/2016 1:15:56 PMIn the example I was giving there was a delay of release and a $120 plus pricetag, which would have been the option opposite of $60 and dlcs. That delayed release and higher price tag was to add in house of wolves and dark below into the original release.

What most day one players feel is that the game was not a full game when it was released but still costed as much as a full game. It felt like they took a $60 game, cut out a large portion of it, then sold that as dlc. That's why people say that some things should have been there from the beginning.
-
Yeah but thats unrealistic I think. I've been playing games for a long time, and if you break down player hours played by dollar spent I thinking people got their hands moneys worth. I DO think they should have delayed the game and released it once it was reworked, but the clock was ticking and activision has to turn a profit on such a large investment. I respect your opinion though but you have to remember that if the business side of game making isn't working great games don't happen.

I've been gaming for a long time as well and I can tell you without a doubt I have PS2 games that have far more content than original Destiny. Just sayin
-
I guess if you aren't a crucible fiend like me I can see where you may have felt that way at release. I can lose myself for hours in the crucible though so maybe that is swaying my opinion.
-
That's probably why you see it from a different perspective. Pvp is a completely different monster.
-
That's the thing. You can't just buy the DLCs you want with this game. You have to buy the DLC or stop playing altogether.
-
Yeah... That's not true. You just can't play the stuff with the people that played DLC. You get private matches if you dont get riae of iron, you got to keep your classic pvp map playlists if you didn't get house of wolves. Again if they went with your "everything given upfront in the game" model it would have been released even later and cost $120 or more, even more peopel wouldn't have played then.

You need expansion 1 and 2 in order to even buy The Taken King. You need all three of those in order to buy Rise of Iron. If you never upgraded to The Taken King you lost access to multiple difficulties of Vanguard strikes, the ability to chose what crucible game type you wanted to play, Nightfall, Trials of Osiris, daily story missions and crucible, and Iron Banner. Everyone other game would have had separate playlist options for people with various amounts of DLC, Destiny says "Give us money or stop playing".

I guess I have no problem with that and you do. $40 for the amount of entertainment I get from a DLC is probably the best value I get in my life. I can't take the wife out to dinner at a sit down restaraubt for less than 50 bucks. I respect your opinions I guess though
