I think Bungie talking about the community is a little late, after they tried to f*** their fans by asking them to re-buy the entire game to get some content. When that didn't work, they tried to f*** you slightly less, by offering you the content for $20!

Btw, the game you bought is only worth $20!

Enjoy Bungie fans and community!!!

:D

@donthate, Ironic name that considering your comment lol.

When you play destiny with a great community and enjoy awesome times with your friends it makes destiny worth the price, i have a 1000+ in the game but it doesn't make me pleased about the pricing of the DLC.

The game itself though is well worth it's money if you appreciate fun games with nice graphics and tight gunplay.
Sure Bungie have made some poor choices but that could be said about all game developers, To me that's the beauty of modern gaming. It can adapt and grow.

@LasstNewtStandin

You are right about my name, but Bungie is the freaken exception. FYI, I was a Bungie fan and loved Halo. I bought the Digital Guardian Edition of Destiny despite a tepid beta.

I was promised a vast and deep story, huge world, awesome missions and excellent game play. All I got was solid game mechanic, vast empty world, boring same enemies repeatedly and no story.

The game might be fun for groups, but Bungie largely dissappointed me. They also didn't treat their fans nicely so I am skipping all their games from now on.

They can have other people throw money at the screen!

"In celebration of Bungie day, we'll be offering an exclusive emote, exclusive shader and an exclusive emblem all of which will only be available today for the low low price of $30"

It's only a matter of time... I miss the old Bungie.

Reddzfoxx3214d ago

Bungie day? How lame is that ...

pompombrum3214d ago

They've done this for eight years now. Once upon a time, they used to do some pretty cool stuff too.

FPS_D3TH3214d ago

I'm glad bungies getting the hate they deserve. I was this pissed a year ago when I smelt their BS miles away. This is icing on the cake. Can't quite comprehend how such a big studio and publisher could screw up such a great game with insane potential. They'll be lucky to make the next one successful at this rate. I wonder if they realize that and that's the reasoning to this insane price points. Well only way I'll be supporting buying a collectors edition (the game is fun to play and does see complete) is with a broken controller trade in lol. Screw you Activision and screw your Bungie for selling your souls to greed.

Layoffs should be hitting the incompetent management at this point.

Profchaos36d ago

Talk about mismanaged Bungie is a studio of tremendous potential and have made some of the greatest shooters to date. Sony pushed them to just make another Destiny style game and consult on other studios live service games and are now getting thrown under a bus as the pivot away from predominantly gaas games is unfolding.

I'd love to see a world where Bungie can focus on telling great sci fi stories again away from a live service dungeon but we all know that's a pipe dream

Rynxie36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

Are you serious? Do you just talk out of your arse naturally, or did it take years of being a POS?

Profchaos36d ago

You normally get so offended by internet comments or did it take years of being soft

purple10136d ago (Edited 36d ago )

Yes I see your point mate, someone clearly didn’t read the article.

Specifically the bit:

“Notably, multiple sources at the time and since have shared that Sony has largely left the studio to sort out its own troubles and was not responsible for the layoffs, with CEO Pete Parsons taking responsibility.“

He’s just spouting nonsense

Huey_My_D_Long36d ago

lol what so fucking hilarious is that you called him out so bad he projected him being offended onto you.

Its been well documented that Bungie's management has been more responsible for their shortfalls, even mentioned in said article that we are commenting on.

Its ok, just admit you didn't read the article.

MIDGETonSTILTS1736d ago

Arrowhead Studios will be Sony’s GaaS consult now.

Gameseeker_Frampt36d ago

I like how for some, it is never Bungie's fault. Microsoft, Activision, and now Sony - it is everyone else who is pushing Bungie to make all these bad decisions.

-Foxtrot36d ago

Thrown under the bus?

Are you joking? This is all Bungie, we all thought it was 100% Activision but it's clear the higher ups at Bungie don't have a clue how to run the studio and are more bothered about saving their own skin and the money that they rake in.

Sony gave them an extra $1.2 Billion to make sure that employees didn't leave and they didn't have to cut anyones jobs. Where did that money go because Bungie still cut peoples jobs and I bet you the higher management still kept a hold of their big fact paychecks and bonuses.

Sony invested poorly in this and the best thing they can do now is throw the old Bungie management out and take hold of the studio fully.

MIDGETonSTILTS1736d ago

Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. Somebody at Bungie is the golden goose making great shooting mechanics, and the rest need to justify their paychecks.

This studio has had three owners and its never worked well with any of them....Management has issues

ChasterMies36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

Worked very well for Microsoft. Microsoft’s mistake was letting Bungie go.

Fearmonkey35d ago

it worked so well with MS that they so wanted to be away from them they bought the company back. Only to do it again with activision-blizzard, and then sold to Sony...Sony shouldn't have bought them...Bungie hasnt been the same for a long time..

As someone who bought every story DLC for DESTINY 2 but not every season. the first thing I would do as game director is , if anybody pre-orders The ?Final Shape , they will be able to play all older DLC and seasons with purchase of FINAL SHAPE. . I think that would bring back a lot of DESTINY 2 plsyers who have not experienced the seasons a chance to play season activities before Final Shape comes out.

DickyD122684d ago

I agree but I was just able to get all dlcs for 50 on steam. (Have it on PlayStation but don't always have access to the TV)
