Would you buy a $60 dollar book....

Imagine if you bought a book that a writer has been making for the last few years. Before release date, you don't know anything, everything is a mystery. You get the book on launch night with a bunch of eager readers. You get home and get excited, the book looks like it's over 900 pages. You flip through the beginning and get to the preface. You read it and are absolutely confused but still, have hope for the actual story. CHAPTER 1..... Chapter 1 does not release until after 2 weeks the book has been out.... the pages that contain the content are blank. The writer has found some kind of invisible ink to make it so that it won't be able to be seen until the book has been out for 2 weeks. ..... 2 weeks past and what do you get to see from the 1st chapter, 1 paragraph. Yup, one. And if you want some background info on what's going on you have to go to the authors website, because he also makes a few bucks with the traffic he gets with everyone going to his domain. Is this a good marketing strategy for a book? Would you willing buy this book? Because that's what destiny's story is. Stop defending it. "Oh you don't understand, it didn't start".... Shut up. I understand that I payed well over 80 dollars just for game play. The mechanics are great, but that's it. How can you be okay with this and defend this story? Half the time I thought my character was a mute and there's only 5 characters in the story that have no name. Come on really? EDIT!: People think I'm comparing the book to the ENTIRE game. I'm comparing it to the story. The gameplay is fine. I have no quarrels with it. In fact this post wouldn't have even been made if I thought the game as a whole was garbage because I wouldn't have even bothered. However because I've clocked in almost 50 hours of gameplay, I can't help but feel the story is lacking

    The game fills a niche that I happen to enjoy. I enjoy the PvP. It's fun for me to pick up, play and do. As for the rest of the game, there are events they've been doing weekly. The release of a raid and then this week another set of bounties from a character that was a blip on the radar and feels like should have more of an impact. I know that in general people have turned into this 'GIVE IT TO ME NOW' type culture. If it's not here now and not immediate it's "Boring" or "Not what I paid for". The way this game has been progressing (mind you, we're only 2 weeks in at this point), this appears to be something that is going to grow over time. I'm interested to see what they do weekly. The events they have planned, missions, bounties, etc. It's an intriguing approach and I hope they continue and add content via these methods instead of just DLC. That's enough for me right now to take the enjoyment I'm having now and [u] [i]be patient[/i][/u]. Honestly, the experience I've had with people in the game so far is that if you stop comparing this to other games, stop looking for reasons to complain and stop comparing it to the hype train you can actually enjoy this game. The people I see playing in my friend's list (the majority still) have all beaten the story and moved on to take on the harder challenges. Yes, some have quit, but unfortunately, not every game is for everyone. I know I'm going to be in the minority with this comment, but sorry to hear you're disappointed, but not all of us are. Some of us are interested to see what continues to develop.
