Why are you spreading misinformation? You gain the ire of the community for being a prat by doing this.
Let's look at this again, shall we?
There is no 'disk locked content'. Players are not being lied to. How do I know? I'm a network engineer and have worked in software development. This is what the entire software (especially game dev) industry does.
Let's say you're Bungie. You have a game with planned DLC. Would you rather...
A: Push the new content in its entirety from your servers to several million users - new zones, items, AI, etc. - roughly 10GB of new data per user.
Or!
B: Have the framework for to-be-released DLC placed on disk (or original digital download) so when the updates for the new content are ready you only push 2GB of new content per user, ensuring a streamlined process that causes a minimum of impact and reduced costs.
I'll let you think about that for awhile.

OMG dude that video is funny as SHIT!! Thank you for posting that, I had no idea! Totally going into my favorites. :) Bump!!

I write software as well, mostly in VB.Net, and would agree with some of this. I think what the OP is saying is that when you buy a DLC and the download is 4MB it goes to show that almost the entirety of the DLC is already on your hard drive. Comparing it to other games which Borderlands is probably the closest, they actually give you new content. There's no clutching into areas because there is none already there. The downloads are 1GB or less because, there's no content on your hard drive already. They provide it to millions off their servers at same time and have no problems. I would point out your 10GB download for DLC is pretty far off considering that's more than Destiny in its entirety is. We'd look at 1GB maybe. Bungie was smart in putting parts already on the original disc for all the DLC's to be installed on everyone's hard drives but, people are obviously going to be upset anytime they pay for something that they already have. What probably would help is if they put in some more events for people to do for free such as, around the holidays or heck even run the Queens event everyone's been asking for so they don't feel like everything they're going to get from Bungie is going to cost them. That's where Borderlands does much better at in my opinion. They should be thinking along these lines if they want to keep players at this rate with a small raid that takes 30 mins to run through being the only new thing they've introduced in a long time.

I will agree the 10GB number was pulled right out of the air, however it is not larger than the entire game. Looking on XB1 right now, Destiny is taking up 20GB of hard drive storage. Keep in mind I have the digital download, not a physical disc. The 2GB download is based on fact. The content patch released a week before Dark Below's launch was 2.1GB on XB1.
-
I would agree with you except someone that worked for Bungie came forward and spoke about how the game was supposed to be more then it was at release and explained that the DLC from Crota's end and house of wolves was originally supposed to be released to us when the game came out and each character was supposed to have their own different start and all this so the content is already on the disk waiting to be re-done.
-
You're talking about an old reddit post that was confirmed to be made up. Check your sources, kid.
-
I've read that whole transcript. The person says they worked for Bungie and there is enough circumstantial evidence to make most of what was said believable. However there was no smoking gun, as it were. Without corroborated evidence it could all be an elaborate hoax (would not be the first time). Like Mulder before me, I want to believe. Same time, show me the proof.
-
Your opinion but it's the truth believe it or not, why would I be able to break the game and get to the areas before they were released by doing broken things in the game to get me there... If it was meant to be obtainable without breaking the game before they patched everything then everyone would have been able to just get to those areas easily with no issue.
-
You exploit a glitch in the game to access incomplete content. What is this evidence of, exactly?
-
then why were all the CE dlc areas the exact same thing when people broke into them 2 months before the release of CE ?! do you hear yourself, or is the sound of gargling bungies nuts too loud ?
-
Gargling Bungie's nuts? LOL
-
Again, framework. Now go sit quietly while the adults are talking.
-
framework isnt fully textured assets. fkn stupid apologists like you are the reason crap like this can and does sell. you are a plague on the gaming community.
-
There is no misinformation. All thats there available for everyone to see. Just need to open your eyes.
-
You said people are being lied to. [i]That is misinformation.[/i] Did you bother to read the rest of the post?
-
We were lied to. We were told Destiny would have a ton of content. Which it didn't and it was cut, and left out on purpose to be sold to us piece by piece in form of DLC to make Destiny from 59 to 89 dollars. If you don't agree, just don't post. But that is what happened. No misinformation here.
-
How do you weigh content?
-
By the pound, duh.
-
[quote]We were lied to. We were told Destiny would have a ton of content.[/quote] So you believe those words? I work in IT which is different from engineering, but the software development life cycle is no different. You HAVE a ton of content. You don't like the fact there isn't more to keep you interested is the problem. That is YOUR problem. Not Bungies. [quote]left out on purpose to be sold to us piece by piece in form of DLC to make Destiny from 59 to 89 dollars.[/quote] Halo: CE. Game of the Year 2001. Less details, no matchmaking, lower population numbers then Destiny, less copies sold then Destiny, no established Lore besides one book which didn't explain 90% of the campaign elements from the game. Cost $49.99. Take away your entitled argument and you realize that Destiny is the same evolution of components found in EVERY video game to date. What it lacks? Is innovation the player base wants. People wanted guaranteed public events where they can load up a patrol, go to a place, and get massive drops of enemies which force cooperation and teamwork. What Bungie did? Gave you random interactions to be more realistic that the enemies are watching us and didn't push that zone at a given time. Much more realistic in terms of strategy. You really need to get off the bandwagon...
-
Nope, sorry. That's not how this works. I disagree with you and will post here so others can see the logical fallacy in your argument. "We were promised..." is best you've got? I'm sorry but nothing was promised. No verbal or written agreement was entered into. Bungie stated they have a 10 year plan for a massive franchise. At no point did they state you were going to get it for free, or a one-time fee, or even all at once. Come on, you can do better.
-
Read the Destiny reviews if you think Destiny has the right amount of content then you should check yourself. You can lie to yourself all you want, but I cannot.
-
Did I say I think it has enough content? No. I agree the game feels lacking for a vanilla launch. That does not mean we were lied to.
