Smart move by Sony, but I just wish devs concentrated on maxing out the game rather than having these console orientated deals.
It is no the fact itself, i was kinda shocked by the user happiness to lock content out for other people for as much time as possible
Exclusive deals is something that won't disappear that's for sure, but as a multi console owner it's laughable, even the thought of it
What's to say he did?
Anyway, I might have been responding to him but my point was in general.

Care to name some examples of people who are against this here but were for this with Titanfall?
There's alot of hypocrisy in here all of a sudden. As Jburton said, this has always been the way MS has worked. In fact, they go one up and outright moneyhat third party games just because they have the money to do so, which is worse to me.
All this exclusive DLC, timed bullshit needs to stop when it comes to third party games, but we all know it won't.

I'll most likely have a PS4 by the time Destiny comes out. Although, I think I'm still going to buy it for the XB1. I don't support these marketing strategies, and I'll show that with my wallet.
I believe the Germans refer to it as "Schadenfreude". It's only natural that I am happy that I will get to experience the best version of the game, is it not? This information about exclusive content was known months ahead of release of the PS4/X1 and if people choose the X1 they have no right to complain.
It's more so being happy that the content will seemingly be exclusive for a full year instead of the usual few months. Why is that better for you? What changes due to that?
And yes, exclusive content was known for a long time but I'm pretty sure most assumed that it would only be for a few months.
Schadenfreud is pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others
even more stupid then lol

Right, well when this exclusive DLC bullshit is on the other system I don't wanna here crying and moaning like last generation. The vibe I get from this thread is "I'm alright so tough shit". So this thread should be kept as a reference point for future deals

Did you vote with your wallet when MS was doing it last-gen? Heck they still doing it they even locked a fucking mode on Fifa and Plants vs Zombiies GW did you also vote with you wallet too?

No, the way you said that makes it look like you're happy that other people are experiencing the worse version. Aka "Nice, you fuckers have to wait a whole year to play the whole thing."
I didn't say there where, just pointed out the difference with people berating this practice and making a big deal because something is not coming to Xbox for awhile but when TF was made full exclusive it was considered a victory by most X1 fans (going by posts at the time).
Trying to call me out to diminish my point, nice try.

Yup. Haven't bought Fifa or Plants Vs Zombies, and I was (and still am) very interested in Plants vs Zombies.

*tips the hat*
You are wondering how this affects me? Well, it makes me feel like I am getting more value for my money than if I had to wait an extra year for the content others are enjoying. And that in turn, makes me happy. And the longer the wait, the more the value rises for me, at least.

So it's basically PS4 exclusive. Who cares about some maps and some sp content one year after launch?
I'd rather see some exclusive games for every party instead of this "timed" exclusive bullshit, console debut etc..

Yeah, I think you may have mentioned this in the previous 10 threads related to Destiny

What? Because of a couple sets of armor and strike? That makes zero sense.
Timed exclusives aren't new, and up until recently, like with ground zeroes, cod, etc, timed exclusivity often meant 1 year.
Hell, people figured Titanfall was a 1 year exclusive before the EA deal went down. ME was at least one year on 360.
No reason why DLC exclusives should only last a couple months if they exist at all.
I take it you didn't mean to quote me there, right?
Ray Wonder

No I didn't. I do agree with you though.
Microsoft does the exact same thing, and they've been doing it for years now. Call of Duty, Evolve, Dragon Age, The Division, the list keeps going.

They are certainly determined to get people thinking about the PS4 version of Destiny and only that version.

As an Xbox One only gamer, I saw what was "exclusive" and it didn't really bother me. But I can see why people would be upset, I suppose.

Obviously that means he'll show it with his wallet by buying those titles on PS4 instead, right?

What's Microsoft doing with the division?

Lol what?
Microsoft is the pioneer of this strategy. This is the fist game Sony has had the sense to snag up.
Call of Duty DLC "First on Xbox"
Evolve "First on Xbox"
Battlefield 4 DLC "First on Xbox"
The Division "First on Xbox"
etc etc etc.
In fact that is one of if not Microsoft's biggest software strategy so far with the Xbox One.
Ditto. No amount of exclusive DLC is worth not using the XB1 controller for IMO.
Fair point.

Has anyone stepped back and asked if this content will actually be good? Most "exclusive content" is superfluous, unimportant to the story of the game or complete dog shit.
For most great games, it's like an after market tail on a Ferrari.

From Destructoid:
Does timed exclusivity really even matter at this point? It's more for platform association than anything. The content that one is missing out on doesn't even feel meaningful, it's just to make sure you feel you're playing the "inferior" version.

At what point did I say I supported Microsoft doing this and not Sony? I'm getting the impression that's what you think I said. I didn't.
This. Shame about the strike mission tho.
So you're always going to buy the one that didn't get the exclusive DLC? The Division, Evolve, COD, etc on PS4 as an example?

How does the timeline for Titanfall go? I thought it was coming later to PS4 and there were rumors and Respawn wouldn't deny it, but then later if was changed to a ''life of title exclusive'' is that when it was in danger of being cancelled?
Then what point are you trying to make? I understand you think timed DLC is bad, but only doing this for one game doesn't make much sense, if you turn around and do the exact opposite later. Unless you're willing to go the extra mile to back up your words, don't bother.
Or just buy a Wii U
Something something opinions
Just get over it Bungie made a conscious decision when they've team up with Activision and Sony approched to make a deal. MS does the same thing with other games and publishers. This is a reality of the market,

Well, Sony knows how to make third party exclusivity deals (this and AC exclusive missions). This is much better to create that fake value of worth than a month in advance DLC. If Bungie, Activision and PS players win with this deal then is fine. Personally I'm getting it on X1 and probably won't play enough to miss the exclusive content.

This is terrible. Just as it was with all other 'exclusive content deals' that had existed throughout the generation. CoD, AC,WD, BF...
This is arguably the worst thing that competition has brought to the market, imo. ( paid online was bad, but imo, it led to PS+ and GwG and overall improved online, so there was some silver lining )
The broadening scope of 'exclusive content' is permuting all aspects of too many 3rd-party games. And the ironic thing is that it's arguably 'proven' to work, which is why publishers and platform holders are doubling down on securing exclusive 'content.'
Another problem is the transparency behind all these things. To me, stuff like Diablo 3 exclusive Playstation content doesn't bother me, because those things are clearly permanent exclusives content that were created because Sony paid for them to exist like TLoU clickers dungeon, etc. Stuff like Grim Fandango as well, as it's a console exclusive because Sony actively approached and made the deal happen as the liaison and partner between Disney, etc.
But then we have 60 minutes 'exclusive content' on Playstation for AC/WD. Or timed exclusives content that are clearly more of an 'yo, I'm excluding you all from this content for X amount of time, suckers!"
