I propose putting it onto healthy foods damn it. I'm sick of game companies promoting this concept of justifying the junk food.

But the the double xp on apples, or juice, or bannannas and -blam!- like that damn it. One of my friends is definatly going to gain 15 pounds alone on the amount of doritos and dew that he bought, and I think it's disgusting.

Bungie, if you go down the "get this food for double xp" route for you next game, please take this idea into consideration!

People eat that -blam!- anyway, you can't blame the video game company for it.

I'm pretty sure it goes off who will pay more and what will sell better.

I think it would be cool though.

Just because people eat that crap anyways doesn't mean that Bungie should endorse this.

Bungie cares for their community, they shouldn't drop that standard once money is being thrown at them, let the healthy food producers throw money at them!

Why do they put it on Mountain Dew and Doritos? What do teenagers and young adults with disposable income eat/drink? Its marketing, they are not trying to attract the Mother figure-or grocery shopper of the household.

I agree with your idea OP, but this is marketing 101. You'd be stupid to pass up this opportunity if you were given the marketing budget Halo 4 was given.

Yeah, I understand Microsoft is just trying to make money as best as they can.

But Bungie on the other hand should be the pioneer damn it, break the mold. It might be dumb to do financially, I get it, but it is just a stupid idea I guess...

I hope they don't do it at all. I'm not a fan of this 'Double Xp' marketing.

Me too, it just seems like a trending theme among the big time videogame releases. So I wouldn't be suprised if Bungie does this.

  • 11.06.2012 4:56 AM PDT

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

I'm actually hoping Bungie's next game isn't akin to Halo or CoD in the respect to their multi-player. I'm hoping for a more co-op experience and a persistent world, kind of like Skyrim but with friends/many players.

But even if the multi-player is akin to Halo or CoD or many other multi-player games out there, I'll be fine with it. DXP, ehhh, I doubt it will be popular enough to begin with to have that promotion. Maybe the sequel.

This.
As far as I know, Bungie is awesome and would put it on healthy stuff so more people eat healthy stuff. It is the huge junk food corporations that want them, though.

1.) Your friend would have likely consumed a similar amount of junk food without the DXP promotion. The promotion is therefore not to blame, your friend is.

2.) Barring that, if in fact your friend purchased unusually large quantities of junk food solely because of the DXP promotion, then it's worth pointing out that one need not consume said junk food to benefit from the DXP. Again, the promotion is therefore not to blame, your friend is.

  • 11.06.2012 1:07 PM PDT

Unfortunately I believe that would be more of Activision's call than Bungie's. Though, perhaps since they own their IP, they can make the ultimate decision as to whether or not it gets used in a promotion?

I feel bad. I bought a Mountain Dew just for the Double XP. Well, I guess it's not all that bad. It took me three days to drink it.

  • 11.06.2012 7:48 PM PDT

I would actually really like that. No reason game companies shouldn't make deals to promote a healthy living style. Besides, then gamers have an excuse to feel good about themselves. Don't you want us to feel good about ourselves, Bungie/ Activision?

Exactly. It makes sense for them to have these promotions. It's something they can, and arguably should do, but it still sucks.


If there were marketing tie-ins with "gamer food" brands with whatever Bungie's next game is (which are unfortunately likely since it's Activision and Bungie we're talking about), I'd really dislike that. Hell, I'd probably not even buy the game. That might seem silly, and overly self-righteous (it is) but at least save that kind of stuff for the sequel, y'know?

As for a tie-in with healthy food, that's better, but it's just the opposite face of the same coin. It's a better image and message placed for and upon gamers, but it'd still be a partnership with another large company and their products, and it'd still feel slimy.

If there has to be some type of Double-XP deal, I'd like to see it gained through an ARG or something similar, that ran up to the launch of the game, and continued/tied into it's story. It'd also hopefully be similar to Valve's various ARGs, where it'd only be hosted on b.net.

There's a thin, possibly nonexistent, line between brand tie-ins for Double XP, and an ARG. If you're getting Doritos or Mountain Dew for Double XP, you're gonna get Halo 4. Same with getting Double XP if you play an ARG for a game. But, the brand method requires you (not like you're being forced at gunpoint, or something) to buy another product. The ARG would just require you to browse a site.

Though, that's just like, my opinion, man.

If Bungie does that, we shall know that they have lost all dignity.
