I cant beleive how many idiots in this thread are saying:"XBONE did it last gen get over it."(Sony did it last gen too) Really; go get an education or something, quit gaming.

Activision is selling the same DLC to 2 different customer bases at the same time for the same price and giving one a lesser product. Let that soak in. To be fair if Activision gives away this content away for free in the future(to those that purchased the DLC), its all good. If they charge another $5-$10 for it, they are screwing (MS)customers and if it becomes a success it will be another shit story for gaming and other games will follow.

Literally dozens of uninformed posts, how can there be so many idiots concentrated in one thread.

it's called a timed exclusivity deal..  You will get your DLCs.. but a small portion of content in the DLC itself is what's exclusive for a while.  Regardless of how it's structured.. it's still only timed exclusive features that shouldn't affect the core of the game.  Don't see how it's a lesser product just because it's not active on your end just yet.  two consoles which have the same paid DLC.. just one console gets it first.  how is that really hard to understand?  or are you mad because it's a year wait for the rest of the content?

i think most are mad because 1) tech the content is locked till atleast fall 2015 for all we know it stays locked away  2) were paying the same price to have content locked away for a year.   i would perfer the content to be exclusive forever and just make the xbox verison cheaper

Did people really watch the boring gameplay of this title before rambling about it?

I think the problem is that youre watching the gameplay, rather than playing it yourself.

Its damn fun when youre actually playing.

The way I see it: Base game is the same for everyone, so no complaints there.
DLC is a ripoff anyway most of the time, and is also completely optional, so basically the only complaint from XBox users is that they get ripped off a fraction more than PS users, a couple of maps and a marginally interesting game mode nobody will even notice it's missing.

They do not. The dlc comes out at the same time and has stuff only available on Sony. This stuff will be available to MS people in the future which they (will likely) have to pay for. MS Player pays $20 gets x,y,z. Sony player pays $20 gets w,x,y,z. It is not because it is not active on one end, its because it is being given to one party and (likely, because I see Activision nickle and diming this game to no end) sold to the other party. It will not effect the core game, but this is a slippery slope. Now if the DLC was $20 on Sony and $15 on MS(and the timed stuff was sold for $5 down the line) it would be different.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

so what comes after this first we had timed dlc which is leading to timed dlc within dlc which could lead to timed dlc in timed dlc, exclusive dlc within dlc, exclusive dlc within timed dlc?

DLC inception.

I know bad AI when I see one.

Plus it's slow paced...

That's just me.

I bet they don't mind the timed exclusive CoD stuff though.

They'll get over it.


That's only a month early access to dlc that's it bungie being arrogant against Xbox fans and I already cancelled destiny on Xbox one and I hope rest of Xbox fans do it too

well.. i understand your points, but wouldn't the easiest solution be to just buy the DLC in fall of 2015 if they really want the DLC and don't want to wait a year?  Or don't buy it at all if it bugs them that much having to wait a year?  DLC is just what it is.. optional content that doesn't/shouldn't change the core of the game.. optional, meaning, they don't have to buy it.

i don't know.. to me, personally.. it's just DLC content for the sake of saying, we got it first, but it doesn't really mean anything in the whole context of the game itself.  it's nice to have perks, but it's no game changer.  I think the real issue is xbox gamers thinking that since it's a Bungie developed game, there should of been some type of fan service to those xbox gamers who bought Bungie games in the past.. add in the year long wait for DLC content and it's like adding salt to the wounds.



Man.. I hate it when your girl has to leave my place to come back to you..
