This is absolutely ridiculous. Say what you will about agreeing or disagreeing with Bungie's practices. The way that they are handling this whole situation? Awful. It blows my mind that the company I love so much is doing things like this.
I've just discovered that Xbox will be paying the same price for DLC as play station and be getting less content. It's one thing to pull that shit with just extra content in the game. But [i]exclusive dlc IN the dlc????[/i] I don't care who you are, playstation, xbox, whoever. You can't tell me that's not a shitty way to treat gamers.
5 or 10 years ago if you told me "Bungies gonna make a game for playstation too and they're gonna go down the same path as every game company and rip gamers off" I'd laugh at you. That's just something....so.....not Bungie-like. You'd have to be a fan of them like me to understand why it's off seeing them do this. It doesn't feel right.
And it's not just this. Advertising some sort of "beta test" and making it 8 days max? 3 to 4 days for Xbox players? I probably won't even be able to play it in that time frame. I'll be on this thing called "summer vacation" and unless it gets cut short then I'm not signing up on the 24th, that's for sure.
I'm not gonna whine or cry about it or link some meaningless begtition. I'm just saying it how it is: crappy business practices. I know everyone does it nowadays but......man. I didn't expect this from Bungie.

Edited by macaface: 7/8/2014 5:54:54 PMWell I've stuck with Bungie for a long time too (12 years) and here's what I have to say; This should not be a surprise to anyone of you. You could have avoided this whole deal if you had just jumped on the wagon months ago. I saw bungie left M$, I did the same thing. They told us years ago the PS4 was amazing, so I listened. And I can tell you from the Alpha everyone is going to love this game. The poor people who have been behind PS for this long have missed out on all of our Halo memories. Remember that? When we HAD to cart our huge Xbox, controllers and tv's to our friends house to play some 8 on 8. Well they missed out on all that. This is the changing of the guard, now Guardian. Even though the PS are getting extra love Xbox still gets the game. Feel loved, be happy and enjoy the game for what it is, not what others get. Sorry Titanfall sucked, but this will be much better, see you on Mars.
