As frustrating as it is for xbox users not having any exclusive content found on Playstation (extra pvp map, extra strike, extra exotics) and also all the PS4 events like the the ninja bounty, it must be really frustrating for all the creative people at Bungie to have the execs get in the way of their creation.
Now it was announced today that Playstation will be getting another exclusive strike with the new dlc (and I can only assume same will go with the House of Wolves dlc) increasing the number of strikes to 9. This sucks because xbox owners who have spent the same amount of money on destiny and the season pass only get 7 and strikes are a key point in the replayability of Destiny. Bungie messed up because of the deal with Playstation they are hurting their customers on xbox which will result in player drop off and thus not being able to sustain the number of players desired for their 10 year plan. I really like this game and I am an xbox one owner who is starting to feel the fatigue. With all the great options for games, I doubt i will be able to make it 1 full year to get the content that shouldn't have been taken away in the first place.
PS4 exclusives only benefit Playstation (not Playstation owners) because its designed to get people who either don't have a system and are using this game as a justification to purchase a console or the people who have both to buy it for their system. Gamers lose because of all these deals (Xbox lost on Destiny but PS lost on Tomb Raider worse imo), Programmers/Artist/Writer lose because the things they worked hard on are purposely not distributed to everyone. Sony and Microsoft win because people are forced to choose.
I wish the console wars were more about developing new exclusive ips (Gears, Last of Us) and not cutting content (Tiger Woods releasing 19 dlc courses for $50 same day the game came out) or timed releases (cod). As a side note, retailer exclusives need to stop too.
I hope bungie is addressing this issue and coming up with ways to rectify the exclusivity mistake. A few suggestions I have are:
- xbox events (along with ps events)
- additional free weapons/ armor (diluting the benefits ps owners get)
- additional free add on strikes or variants (different enemy placement would do wonders)
- modified strike playlist (playlist should have special currency and maybe less weapon xp)
---- example: only green/purple ammo drops from enemies (rocket strike would be so fun)
---- example: weapon type buffs (scout riffle would be OP for the strike)
- more venders that accept vanguard marks (maybe some that accept a third currency that you get from my modified strike playlist suggestion)
- confirmation that after the contract is over ps and xbox will have the same content
Please feel free to add on to my list and hopefully bungie will fix this so that we don't see this as common business practices in the future.

It's TIMED we'll get it in September.

The hell is a ninja bounty?
-

-
To all reading this thread ignore it. It's from October and some random person decided not Necro it
-
Why is everyone reviving dead posts now a days? Must be kinderguardian christmas noobs.

Better system gets more stuff, seems fine. Any drop off of Xbox players wouldn't be enough to matter.
-
Cry about it some more. Haha. It's a timed exclusive. So you will eventually get it ;)
-
Ya I didn't hear you Xbox fags saying -blam!- this sony should also get cod DLC the same time as us I don't play cod anymore but did and when in did you xbox scrubs were all over utube comments etc... Saying how xbox was better because of this sitting back laughing at Psn users now the tables have turned and I'm glad you punks can't run around destroying fallen with the beautiful hawk moon or dropping the hammer down on vex in the unidentifying mind strike while we sit back and laugh at how Microsoft sold u a microwave size console that is in upscaled 1080 p and where the connect comes in a box as big as the Xbox lmao your now getting ehat u deserve I feel nothing got you
-
I'm just here so I can get a hawkmoon
-
Buy a PS4.... its better anyways
-
Aww poor guy. Doesn't get everything he wants.
-
I think it's great to finally have some ps exclusives. I remember playing zombies and Xbox always getting the maps first. Nothing to cry about like you said it's just business can you really blame them like you wouldn't do the same thing.
-
Take this cry baby post down...
-
Call of Duty has a deal with Microsoft to realize them the DLC one month early. Which would you prefer? Xbone to get everything first and more? Or should Ps4 get DLC and certain updates a month early? Let me know. Or you're just mad you bought a shitty xbone
-
I mean a whole year does suck. I kinna wish it was just a month b4 but hey can't do shit about it now so fūck it
-
Edited by Bicepus Maximus: 2/8/2015 11:42:57 PMThis is a trend in the gaming industry. The bottom line is the consumer on both consoles paid the same amount for the game but do not get the same content. I would imagine it could be a good lawsiut. In the future do not purchase games like this... it is time gamers started making statements with their pocket books. Bungie, Microsoft, Activision, and the entire industry should be ashamed of themselves.

Stop being so fckin butthurt. Pc doesnt even have this game, Halo. Early cod maps The strikes fcking blow and the only good gun is the hawkmoon. Go buy a ps4 if you want the shiitty strikes
-
Tomb raider sux

Ok. I play PS4 my best friend plays Xbox One. I have all exclusive weapons other than hawkmoon. I let him play both exclusive strikes and he said he was glad those strikes were exclusive so he doesn't have to worry about playing them in the strike playlist. He told me he was thankful for not having to worry about touching them. That speaks volumes. One fight is just a shitload of ultra vex minotards and hobbies. Think of a room roughly the size of a public restroom with 20 minotaurs. With vex shooting you through a one way wall. The other one is a room that has three psions with each elemental shield and 100,000 HP each with approximately 30 various other cabal hellbent on fûcking your shit up. 4th Horseman only does damage if you are shoving the barrel up their asshole. Monte carlo is hardlight 2.0 Hawkmoon is RNG fatebringer with bonus damage on 3 rounds and no arc damage.
