So we've heard rumours...

...that Destiny's story was changed late last year, but what if there was plenty more changed? This video a friend shows me goes back through all of Bungie's Destiny videos and shows us what has been cut or drastically changed from the current retail version we have. -Armor and Weapons didn't have level reqs, just Weapon/Armor level that scaled the weapon/Armor effectiveness to that player's level. -Legendaries and Exotics dropped at ANY POINT IN THE GAME, scaling with player level. -Weapon upgrade trees were much different and there wasn't any need for farming for resources or ascendant materials, and they had better upgrades. -Factions seemed to play a bigger role in the game overall. -The Reef was a fully rendered play area in-game as a possible safe haven space like the Tower. -Both Saturn and Mercury were also fully rendered in-game. (There wasn't any footage of actually being on-planet.) So what the hell happened? Destiny got a major reworking prior to us getting the game, so it is essentially NOT the game they were selling us from the beginning... What happened to the REAL DESTINY?

  • Ok so. A game of this scope. Not in terms of content but it's projected 10 year life. But a game of this scope needs a method of making money after its initial sale price. Bungie, activision, these are businesses. They need to turn a profit to keep moving. That's how it is. Now, to make money post release there are three options available that I can think of. 1. Paid monthly subscription ( that ontop of your XBL or psn fee? Yeah, no thanks pal!) 2. Micro transactions. - struggling to get patience and time? Just buy it for $10.... Yeah no thanks, that would break the game and epics and legendary items just won't be epic or legendary anymore.... So the only available option would have been Dlc. Now, all these doco' or trailers we base our arguments off, that the story was spliced may be the blow we have taken to ensure destiny can be the game we all wanted both in terms of its amazingly addictive gameplay as well as a rich story. But the marketing direction taken to make money is probably the best. Don't worry, there's plenty more story to come, while you will need to pay for it, it's no different than halo adding map packs or something of the like. Try and see the bigger picture before we all cry like little children about a situation that we are only partially informed on. Plus, try doing the campaign again... By yourself without friends on a new character. Don't worry about the loot or the level your rival is now.... Don't focus on anything other than the story, as we did before destiny came out. Let it focus on your guardian alone and pay attention to what's happening. You'll realize it's not as content light or short as its being made out to be.
