Happy Bungie Day (Destiny)
I took a moment to look back at this fantastic rage from a year ago today.
It's still garbage, but it's our garbage, I guess.
Last night I stayed up till 1AM hitting Iron Banner rank 5 for the first time, playing with DBO people like Paddy and Korny. It was fun.

I don't think the International Business Times is going to be quoting you this year.

In retrospect, I think that most PS4 players would tell you that the exclusives haven't been all that--except maybe Hawkmoon, but I wouldn't know.
hawkmoon is cool, but not worth losing sleep over.

I don't use mine much. Really it's got very similar stats to TDYK but has double luck in the chamber so you get extra "lucky" at times. It's cool, but not gamebreaking like say, gjallarhorn. =)

If it makes you feel better, I STILL don't have Gjallarhorn on the Xbox! :)
Also, I disagree with the exclusives not being all that. Exodus Blue has always been my favorite map, the Undying Mind strike is my favorite strike, and the 4th Horseman is something that I don't ever want to let go of. Monte Carlo is probably the only AR that I enjoy using as well, and synergies very well with numerous Warlock builds.
Hawkmoon used to be completely amazing, but now it's "just" a great hand cannon with triple (stackable) luck in the chamber. Still, with Small arms it can do over 5,000 a headshot, and up to 7,000 if you're lucky. Great way to bring down tough enemies. Regardless of what it ends up being (not like exotic hand cannons are headed towards a buff), one of the things that Xbox folk will never get is the "original" Hawkmoon, which I absolutely loved, and was worth losing sleep over.
Still, like I told some folks on Xbox, the 4th Horseman is such a distinct and awesome weapon that I can't wait for them to get ahold of it. It's the shotgun equivalent of the Gjallarhorn (as previous videos can attest), and likely won't be seeing a nerf, unlike Hawkmoon.
I'm curious about the Jade Rabbit. Definitely needed more Exotic Scout Rifles, and it occurred to me that we're already entering Year 2 of Destiny, and the Sony deal is still going strong (if the Fall 2016 bit is any indication). Who knows. It will be great to see the Xbox people get a buttload of stuff once the Taken King comes out, though.
Two strikes, two Crucible maps, and three exotics, on top of all of the Taken King content? That'll be like Christmas for all (especially since Xur will be able to stock those exotics for the Codys that are still missing them on PS4, and we'll get more Nightfalls and Trials maps. So yeah, individually, the PS4 exclusive content may not have been "essential", but overall it's nearly as much as a DLC pack (given the unfortunate size of The Dark Below, which was even smaller on the Xbox).
