@hestilllives19: You are correct that the text probably betrays what was likely a more conversational interview in person – however! the fact that the fellow is so completely casual about what he's saying about Destiny, the value proposition, and how people should be happy to keep spending money and having to re-buy content is exactly what bothers me about it. The content of his words are as important as whatever tone is lost in translation into text.

This just isn't true though. This is exactly why all this stuff is incredibly blown out of proportion. We're talking about 3 emotes. One for each character. I don't need that. I'm getting the 40 euro version. I'm not forced to rebuy any content at all. Yes, of course it would be cool if they made the emotes available for others in some way, but if you're honestly going like: 'You're ripping me off by making me rebuy something I already own', then you're actually crazy (using 'you' in the general sense in this sentence, not directed at you specifically). It's emotes. Don't buy it. You don't need it to play all the new content.

But it is true that if someone wants the emotes, they will have to rebuy content and that's fucking stupid. You can't defend the idiocy of it.

Weirdly I'm getting a stable 60 FPS using the included benchmark tool but as soon as I get in game everything just shits itself

TG is a masterpiece... best manga I've read since Berserk.

What what what?!

It's a pretty apt comparison. Only applies to the manga though

@yummylee: Wow in Destiny's case people in the UK are getting charged an extra 20 bucks. It should have priced at £25 to much the $40 US price point

@chrissedoff: I'm not denying that privilege exists. I just find the double standard of stereotyping is fine when it's about white males infuriating. If people want equality they can't have it both ways.

With that being said, I have no problem throwing down $40 on DLC, as long as said content is worth the value. Bungie has not been too great in that department, but I'm still not ready to give up on Destiny just yet.

It's £40, not $40, which is what full games are generally priced at.

Do video game retailers in Europe normally discount the price to be comparable to what us Americans pay?

@mustainium: I have no problem with the price point but Bungie can fuck right off if they think I going to rebuy old content to get some emotes. Also Luke Smith was the guy doing most of the talking during the E3 interview

The dislikes to this fall under the category of straight white male privilege/entitlement.

Of course. We all know straight male cockasians are the only people capable of spewing anonymous hate and rhetoric. I don't totally agree with Mr. Oliver but at least he was funny about it when he said something along the lines of "and if your experience on the internet hasn't been like this, congratulations on your white penis."

Trolls come in all shapes and sizes, though we all know where certain ones come from under certain circumstances.

So stereotyping is okay when the ones being stereotyped are white. Thanks for informing me of that.

I don't get how this is hard to understand. Some people have the disposable income to allow themselves to do so, others do not.
