Fair point, and Bungie's been receptive enough that I believe they'll change it going forward to a 'vanilla' playlist or something. But the reactions are astounding, mainly because they're terribly misinformed. If you look at Reddit or Bungie's own forums, the general consensus is that the Nightfall and Weekly Strikes…

Even with Halo/CoD/etc., there were certain playlists that the developers closed off to non-DLC players. Granted, CoD fixed it in later by making it so if someone didn't have DLC maps, the lobby would never queue up DLC maps, but the same deal applies.

Christ, you guys, this is NOT a big deal.

Its locked behind a paywall because the weekly strike this week is the DLC strike, which mean you gotta buy the DLC to play it. This isn't unusual at all.

The irony of trading him to St. Louis for a 5+ round pick would be juicy...

There was already a blurb about how one (male) co-president of Columbia Pictures (subsidiary of Sony) made almost $1 million more than the other (female) co-president. Granted, those were the only details I'd read about that particular situation, but I expect folks to have a field day about it.

Crawl before you walk, walk before you run. Treadmill testing was proof-of-concept level work, for the initial prototype. Now, as they see how terrain messes with that model, they adjust accordingly.

Honestly, that's a good thing. A lot of quality titles were released within a year of XB1/PS4 being released, and a good portion of the gaming community were hesitant to buy into the new generation because of that, specifically.

As defined by the contract, this is supposed to be a 3-4 release franchise over 10 years, with DLC and microtransactions (thank Christ it seems like Bungie has pushed back on that).

Convince your representatives to do the same.

I'm sure they'll survive.

Can we get an Underexplained List of the top 10 Kotaku reviews?

Sounds like a line straight out of the glorious DPRK...

That's not the issue. The issue is the 95% of the stores supporting CurrentC as a payment system have actively blocked Apple Pay/Google Wallet/Softcard (Walgreens is the only exception I've heard so far).

That doesn't look like Bay. That looks like IM2/3 level of effects, basically a staple for this generation of Marvel movies now.

You realize all of this has been done already in the comics? This isn't spinning stuff out of thin air, this is basically a video adaptation of canon that's existed for decades, in some cases.

Fair point. Valkyrie seems to be on the dogfighting end, while Star Citizen is that and a whole lot more.

For extra fun, have this playing in the background

Isn't that more along the lines of EVE: Valkyrie?
