Make or Break: Story expansions HAVE to be free
As the title reads, story expansion HAS to be free.
We were given so little story to chew on. In comparison to the amazing storytelling abilities of Bungies past games, this one is almost laughable. Every "character" essentially says "I COULD tell you my tale, but I won't"
We shouldn't have to rely on an out of game source (grimmoire) to get some damn story. Also don't even start with that "the single player wasn't meant to be a story mode". If not than what part of the game was supposed to deliver a story?
The character development is not good. Plain and simple. I mean, if we players don't have a form of simple communication, than at least make the damn characters have some dialogue! All the "characters" are so damn emotionless and forgettable.
With all of this in mind, the make or break point comes in.
If the story was meant to be given in to us in time frames, than it NEEDS TO BE OFTEN. Most people don't buy "full" games just to not get a full game, but hey, that's Bungies plan I guess. HOWEVER, if that's true than the coming story missions absolutely have to be free. What we got was not a $60 dollar story. And if we have to keep shelling out money just for a simple story, than that is the breaking point.
And you know that none of this can be denied. If you have a valid argument to why I am wrong, than please enlighten me.

4 RepliesYeah OP is right. It's not that the story is bad or anything, it's just way not deep enough for a game of that type. BUT everything is well planned to develop an army of reaaaaally cool developments. I heard the game cost 500m $ to do - there is no way they put everything in there, so they might be saving some for events to come. But if they're planning on releasing DLCs like breadsticks to deepen the game, they'd better make them free. As someone said, the story itself isn't worth the 70 bucks. I know this is not all about the story but it's just that the few elements we have indicate to a way deeper game. It's set in the freaking universe. There's no limit to what they can do. I personally didn't like too, the fact that you're a damn hero after like 8 hours of story missions. This is common in MMO games though. The storyline makes you a hero though there are thousands achieving the same objectives. We should never have downed 'the God' of the Vex, we should have downed 'a God' though I imagine they're gonna develop greater threats in the future. Maybe we just don't know. So yeah, they're gonna DLC the sh*t out of us. It would be a miracle if they'd be free. Very unlikely for a 500m $ game.
