If anyone bought this game for the story, i apologize if i sound like an ass, but then they are straight up idiots. It might say rich cinematic story on the back of the box, but that's just marketing crap. Dstiny is a shooter focused on its multiplayer gameplay so the fact that there are any cinematics is a plus. And i think the cinematic cut scenes are designed very well. After i finished the story missions i also thought it was a bit light on content, but then i reminded myself that Bungie would want to focus more on the ambient design, and wanted the player to enjoy the end game content more. The worlds are giant and lush, and very stable, but no one wants to give any credit for these. If you want a game which prides itself on its story telling then wait a couple of weeks, but not every game has to cater to every aspect a game can have. And thanks for the post OP, i interpreted the story the same as you havee and i look forward to how it evolves
