    I read an article that had this quote from Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg: "I think a lot of franchises get built game-to-game, or month-to-month--the moment really determines the momentum of the franchise," he said. "Bungie aren't just thinking about the content that goes on the first disc; they're thinking about a ten-year story. They're thinking about a Lord of the Rings-sized narrative. How do you build a lasting franchise? How do you design something that, from day one, is built to last?" I find this to be utterly ridiculous. Do you know the definition of narrative? It is: "A narrative (or story) is any account of connected events, presented in a sequence of written or spoken words, and/or in a sequence of (moving) pictures." [i][u]Wikipedia[/u][/i]. At what point did Destiny get a story? Just shut up and explain what the hell is going on in the game. If you're future plans do not include a detailed explanation of at least the enemies (The Darkness, the different species of these so called minions of the Dark, why the hell they hate me, etc), Guardians (Why am I alive? How does the Ghost do that? And if dinklebot can do that, why doesn't he just fight?), and the Traveler itself (what the hell is that thing? where did it come from? why does it care? why should I care?), then I will not be a part of your ten year plan and I know I am not alone. People can hate on us for "whining" and "entitlement issues", but the fact of the matter is that you set us up for a really good STORY with all the pre-release videos and teasers, and gave us a mindless grind shooter with card collectibles that a lot of players don't even read, because you can't even do it in game. Every single Halo game had more useful information about what is going on than this game. All I want is the answer to this question, Why should I care about any of the things that happens in this game?
