So, information about cut content have been leaked and users on Neogaf have posted this.
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=903125
Apperently a persons game glitched and allowed him to see all the content as locked, including the content we're not "allowed" to see yet. Like the DLC missions, Strikes and Raids.
I quote:
[quote]The first DLC will include 4-5 missions, 2 strikes(one on earth, one on Mars), 1 raid(on Moon) and 3 crucible maps.
Second DLC there is less details but I assume again 4-5 missions, 2 strikes, and 1 raid(which takes place in the reef)[/quote]
Where all of this is on disc but have to be unlocked by buying the Season Pass/DLC.
So, there you have your proof. Bungie have cut content from the game and locked it for us to make us buy their Season Pass.
In my opinion that is a very cheap move.
Opinions/Further discussions?
Please bump this thread as much as you can to spread the truth.
Edit:
Further proof that most of the DLC is already on Disc. (From Neogaf)

To the people defending this.
How are you okay with this kind of stuff? Content being on the disc that you [b]bought[/b] but can't use because they will sell it to you [i]again[/i] in the Expansion Pass.
This content should/already is in the game but is locked.
Edit4:
People saying we're jumping to conclusions, that these areas are not even close to being finished and all that.
Thing is.
Since the areas are already there(some with enemies) they could have easily have included them in the game.
These areas were already in as far back as the alpha. Which means they had plenty of time to actually finish it all. (If they aren't already finished and Bungie are just waiting to release the rest of it to the people with the expansion pass)
These missions and areas should/could have been in the final game but were most likely cut to be sold later as DLC.
The areas already in the game proves this by showing us areas that are locked where they probably later only will unlock the missions for those areas. As stated in Edit1 "Expansion II is only 9.5 MB" which most likely is just a "key" to unlock the on disc "DLC".
Looking at the lack of content Destiny have right now it could have used this content on release instead.
Edit5:
Seeing that this thread now have about 380 replies(and still going) where the majority are either upset or angry at Bungie for doing this thing, maybe Bungie should address this in an official blog post and update us on how it actually is.
Is this DLC content on disc which needs a bought "key" aka expansion pass or will this later be released for free like the Iron banner and Queen's Wrath events?
Bungie, take a look at your fanbase/community, more than half of them are disappointed in the way you're doing business with Destiny.

A reddit post going over everything that changed with Destiny over the last year:

Same post but on Bungie.net:

It goes through everything that was in the game before release but later on got taken out for DLC or removed completely.

It says 6.9 MB on there. Also a very small download. Most likely a "key".
They promise us "New Story and Cooperative Areas to explore" but we all know those areas aren't actually new lol
Plenty of people have already been in them.

Quote from Neogaf worth reading:
[quote][quote]I highly doubt the devs just cut complete shit out to sell later.[/quote]
And that's probably what they want you to think. You'd be surprised what kind of crap they'd spin. Cutting content out of a game and then randomly blasting it into the market in pieces as DLC is profitable, so they'll do it. It's easy for them.
We have no evidence to suggest they aren't doing this. I'm much more inclined to say this is exactly what they're doing based on what we're seeing.
Thank god I didn't buy into this game. Pulled out last year when i realised what they were saying and what they were showing just didn't match. The $500m gave me a good laugh though. What a waste.
But hats down to Activision, it all worked perfectly. Expect other companies to follow this trend. The future is bright![/quote]

[quote]Its like paying to get into Disneyland and then being told you have to pay extra to ride the best rides. People who dont complain about this place less value in money and self respect. I like the idea of releasing content over time to help keep things fresh but theres hardly a main body to this game, it feels like an empty introduction to an empty world. Its like halo leftovers and its starting to smell funny... Repeating missions over and over should be proof enough to the lack of content, its been a while since i felt a little screwed over by a game.[/quote]
Edit11:
Another area have been found, now by Nowise10: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xtf3NlYhB_U
As you can see it is everything is done in this one as well. All Bungie have to do is release the mission files and that's the DLC for ya.
Note that Nowise10 states that this is the 2015 DLC mission.
I mean, a 2015 DLC that already exist in the game. That is pure cheapness.
Edit12:
So, the area Nowise10 found a way into have been in the game for quite some time.
This is a screenshot from a trailer released on E3 this year in June.
http://i.imgur.com/4zFs3HH.png
Would you look at that?
http://youtu.be/hRRKtkuOeig?t=1m32s
So this area have been in there since atleast E3...
Edit13:
Another finished looking DLC area on disc have been found:
http://teambeyond.net/destiny-dlc-area-uncovered-mars/
http://youtu.be/fY_KKYQG22c
Now a strike in the Black Garden area.
As you can see it is a big area where you can't go because of this big energy wall, but with a sparrow you can go through it and enter the DLC area.
Edit14:
Another DLC area found by Corbman.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgoPfuphQvw
This is the Traitor's Ketch mission in the 2015 DLC.
Is you can see, everything is working as it should, it just needs enemies.
Edit15:
Once again, a new DLC area found by Corbman.
http://youtu.be/BtFey3eEzfk
This is the area for the raid on the moon.
Confirming that this also is on disc and only needs enemies to be added.
I know no one cares anymore so I will probably stop updating this now. Since, I don't really care anymore myself.
I've given up on Destiny and will move on to better games.

Question is , how much of it is going to be paid DLC and how much of it is going to be timed release FREE content? (yes im aware Activision......theyre still not as bad as EA though , but still up there)
-
Bungie didnt cut content activision did, all activision wants is money, they dont care about the community, take up your arguments with them, stop flooding the bungie forums with this crap.
-
Deathspank 1,2, & 3 were all worth 60 and 100 times bigger than this game. I do enjoy this game but I am so disappointed at the same time.
-
I blame Activision.
-
They made the game, they get to do that kinda shit.
-
[b]Bungie: "Cue the butt hurt fanboys.. Now.."[/b]
-
-
While I don't agree. They've got to make money somehow.
-
Why are you blaming the developer? These are decisions made by the publisher. If EA had published the game, everyone would be jumping on the bandwagon and cry about "the worst company in America". But no, it's Activision, and company that is almost as large as EA, and apparently made of teflon because all the blame slips on them and on to the Bungie, who are the guys just trying to make a game that people enjoy.
-
People really need to show some self-displine and NOT BUY THE DLC. The only power we have against such underhanded tactics is through our money. Buying into this will only encourage developers to continue this b.s. It's a tactic that software devs are resorting to more and more often these days—creating a product that generates a steady stream of revenue with little-to-no effort on the part of the devs. Many companies are doing it through subscription "services" (a la Adobe & Microsoft); others, such as Activision/Bungie, are releasing their product piecemeal, with the sum of its parts costing a lot more than a traditional game does (i.e. $60.) The only way we can put an end to this silly game of theirs is to simply not play.
-
To be honest did you really need any of this to know Bugnie held content from us. People should have know this from day one when they already had 2 full DLC packs before the game was even released.
-
>people are not only ok with this, but actually defend devs for doing it thank you for shitting up video games amen
-
Also Erikur, don't listen to those negative Bungie fanboys. They have been on Bungies cock since the first moment the word Destiny appeared on the interwebs.
-
Think this is the first game to hold back content for dlcs? Go cry in a corner and wait for the new cod where you have to buy a season pass for a planned amount of dlcs in a year. Derp

Edited by VVulfman: 9/29/2014 12:01:18 AMACTIVISION USED TO BE GOOD WHEN I WAS A KID. These game companies are horrible when it comes to ripping these kids off buying there games man.. STop supporting this kind of business practice. YES the dlc's have already been made, it was prob. done a year ago its just part of the final game they held onto to sell at 20 dollars a pop every other month.... I am over this shady practice..
-
I don't intend on buying any DLC either. I'm just one to say that $60 is enough already and rarely will spend anymore then that. Although, Bungie could have easily done so with a better game from the beginning.
-
Bumpity bump bump
-
It's just the area to get to the dlc , some parts of the dlc you will have to travel to locations you have already been to to get to the dlc spit if you don't like it don't play the game
-
Some of you are in denial with the "content is not complete" argument. There are enemies and ghosts in these areas, lol
-
-
maybe they cut that content to add it over time, which is still ridiculous.
-
Edited by PowZ: 9/29/2014 2:25:13 AMThis is common for locked content to later be unlocked by downloading DLC files at $15 a pop. Many of us enjoy destiny and don't care if it's going to cost $15 here and $15 there to continue on with Destiny because we're enjoying it and we're not a bunch of whiney cheapskates.
-
Can't believe this, just as bungie started to get a straight head on! Looks like all the content is there! There's even damn mobs and bosses spawned there!! Ready for us to go play!the gaming industry has gone to the dirt, what happened to the community loving bungie from 2-3 years ago! Apparently it's all about screwing us over and money. I'm absolutely infuriated by this, keep bumping this thread guys, we need this out and about for the bigger people to report on. At the end of the day we've payed, us as the consumer are funding them, and they keep screwing us around.

oh dang

Something you may not realise is that alot of the stuff is shown on our tv but is stored on the servers. That 10mb is basically a zip file to open up the data to us.

Every deveopler has to cut some content, but this is WITHHELD content.
