I wonder if Bungie will respond to straightforward polling, so I will be posting a number of simple polls. Add your comments about how you think things should be fixed and why, or why not. Do you think the story is good? Do you think there's enough to it? Are you satisfied with the way it was progressed in the dlc? Let Bungie know! Edit: Some people really like these polls and would like to see them trending. Perhaps Bungie will see them then and respond to them in some way? Maybe wishful thinking.. Anyways, I have added links to the other polls so that you can vote on all of them!

If I come up with more, I probably won't be able to add them here, so be on the lookout for more polls. Also, if you have any other polls that are specifically directed as feedback to Bungie, please post them in the comments!

  • There is no story. Not really. There are snippets of a story that we are both railroaded through (which is most games) but that is also supposed to be filled in by our imagination (srsly?!). A true story has a beginning, introduces both the Protagonist and Antagonist clearly, introduces conflict, forces hard decisions (at least the illusion) on the Protagonist, allows the Protagonist growth, pushes a final confrontation, and has an ending that often concludes the story (although good ones leave open endings somewhat IMO) and feels satisfying to the person who experienced it. This game has a beginning, but does not introduce a Protagonist in the truest sense because we don't know who the f*ck we are. We are shown several Antagonist's, but who, what, and why are largely ignored. Conflict, obvious. Hard decisions? None - the decisions are made for us, or simply don't exist - there is one path. Allows growth? I suppose, within the confines of the system. Pushes a final confrontation? Yes, albeit the first two phases of the game have little to nothing to do with the final two phases - that is called a broken chapter, because it is not contributing to the overall story. We are shown another Antagonist in the Black Heart, but again we know little to nothing about it other than "bad=shoot". Once it is defeated, there is little satisfaction from a story standpoint. A small cutscene indicates our allies may be celebrating but our character sure as hell doesn't seem overjoyed. And the way the Stranger delivers her final lines, made me personally feel like what I did didn't matter truly because more and more bad crap was going to continue to happen. Sorry, this has been a bit of a rant - the point really is, there feels as though a story is in there somewhere it's just not being allowed to come out.
