That ending... And a bit of a rant (SPOIlERS)

Holy -blam!-. I'm not even sure what to say. I don't think I've ever seen a more lazily constructed conclusion to a game. Is this the absolute best they could come up with? They might as well just made [url=http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140703185538/someordinarygamers/images/8/88/Bp_1401520973_youre_winner.png]"YOU'RE WINNER"[/url] pop up on the screen. You kill 3 big robots and The Darkness is gone and then there's the typical speech on how the fight isn't over, etc. It honestly just felt insulting. And what's even worse is that your actions have absolutely no effect on the world. Now that's par course for most persistent online games, but the fact that they even bothered to try tell a traditional story just goes to show how poorly thought out the design of the game is. You want to be a loot game with lame loot. You want to be exploration focused with small play spaces and nothing worthwhile to find or do. You want to have a traditional story mode with lazy mission structure, boring locations, and extremely poor storytelling. You want to build a world where when the lore and important details are all locked behind an app. You want to do dungeons with spotty encounter design and lame bosses. [i]You want a world for us to come back to and visit with nothing your world can offer us.[/i] Other than the PvP (and even that's debatable), and potentially Raids, there is [i]nothing[/i] this game executes legitimately well aside from shooting things. It's a game that tries to have its cake and eat it too. It has so many clashing design elements that it fails to come together as a cohesive whole. I was aware of the game's shortcomings ever since the beta rolled out, but the ending of Destiny opened my eyes to the entire bracket of its design, as poor as the ending itself was. I suppose the point I'm trying to make is that the plot, nor the game in some aspects, can achieve their true potential without Destiny changing it's core conceptions entirely. If [i]this[/i] is the world that you're going to be building for the next ten years, then I sure as hell don't want to come back. I'm sorry if this felt disjointed or excessively inflammatory, but the ending was just so, so awful. ... And I would be lying if I didn't need to vent abut as well. Discuss.
