Content developed before launch doesn't mean cut content.

It is if it's not included in the game on launch day. If the developers planned to include it, and it's not in the game, it's cut.

Quote

And at a certain point you can't really add anymore to a game. You have to stop and send it off to be finished.

Yeah, when the game is fucking finished.

Quote

AIt's obvious they reworked it, or as you said. Reimagined it. But they didn't cut it t sell to you.

They sure did. It was meant to be included in the base game.

If you wanna like Destiny, that's fine. But don't put out your argument like you're some "enlightened" industry insider.

Like go look at the Vestian Outpost in that reveal video. Completely different. Same thing as The Citadel. Completely changed after the HoW update.

I'm sure it took them 6 months to change a few assets and walkways.

And Prehistoric. Maybe you should quit being paranoid and take off the tin foil.

LMAO

How am I being paranoid?

Cynical? Pessimistic? Negative? Sure. But paranoid? Fuck no.

And these developers have given me NO good reason to think otherwise.

Way more than a few assets. Saturn for example looks way different and again. When they showed Vestian Oitpost in the reveal it likely served and entirely different purpose.

Now. As I was saying about DLC. You're not getting what I'm saying. If they start working on DLC before launch. It wasn't supposed to be part of the game. They don't want it to be part of the game. That's why they make a new group of people. And tell them them to work on new stuff while everyone else finishes the game. Why would you wait until your game launches to make new content? By all means squeeze as much in as you can. But when you're done you don't sit on your butt for a month working on patches t fix bugs. You do that. Hopefully while also making new content.

Saturn was never revealed IIRC.

Conjecture. It's less of a stretch to say it didn't serve an entirely different purpose.

I am. But what you're saying is stupid.

If they're working on DLC before launch, they can squeeze it in.

No one is "waiting" -- they're finishing their fucking game.

There's a fucking difference between developing content once your game goes gold and working on DLC months beforehand to the point where a Season's Pass can be announced.

I thought you were smarter than this but I guess not.

Not shilling for anyone considering I've made multiple complaints myself.

Quote

People liked Destiny's DLC and that was so obviously unethical. Why am I not allowed to criticise Halo?

Oh wait. Y'all are fucking fanboys that can't look at shit objectively.

Not really. We've moved on from that topic.

Skimmed over this thread, and regarding the forge issue:
Even if it's a small problem it still is one and deserves to be adressed and pointed out. If nobody complains of course developers and publishers assume there's nothing to complain about. And if there are no complaints over a course of time it may become the norm.
343 (as well as anyone else), even though they're doing everything else right shut up Assassin11whatever, should be criticised for these practices. I mean 343 seems to listen to its fans, so if there are enough(?) people pointing out the problem it may as well actually affect how these things are handled at 343 in the future.
Of course, again, voting with money would work best, but,... I don't think people won't buy Halo 5 because forge releases late.

(Slightly Offtopic) I mean I don't preorder out of principle; even though I know that the thing I want (Binding Of Isaac:Afterbirth) is going to be good, since there's a trustworthy developer behind it (AND that there's a 20% discount for preordering).
