Edit: a misconception people get when others criticize a game is that the critic doesn't like the game. I do! I have put quite a bit of time into the game. And I once defended it just as much as many of you all are right now. This was the first collectors edition (ghost edition) I had bought thinking this game was going to be my two favorite things put in one game, lore/ story driven RPGs and Online comp/ coop fps. But as it turns out half of that falls very short. I wasn't expecting a some lame COD campaign I was thinking this game would be dynamic and deep with rpg faction quest and class/ race quests that connect me with my character. but much to my surprise is hasn't proven to be so far. In fact it's campaign is worse than COD. I even asked in feedback after beta where the race/ class specific quests were and this community thought they would be there but they aren't! I like this game but I can not shroud my disappointment. Edit: the main problem with Destiny is it is a big list of events. It would be like writing a song and every stanza or even every line is about a different thing. Like: My heart is a fist drenched in blood Say something I'm giving up on you Never miss the sun till it starts to snow It doesn't make sense, it's not artful or good, anyone can make a list of events. And what's even worse is in this video game all of those events are pretending to be different but are all the exact same thing! the sword of crota and vault of glass are the only exceptions. My problem is that this game doesn't have enough story to immerse me into my character or in the world of Destiny because my character has literally just been marking a bunch on things off of this sad list. Original post: In Destiny, No matter how good the gameplay is and how much we all like getting random loot no one can deny that the story is a little thin. Personally, I think it's so thin paper would feel fat! COD black ops had a better storyline. Where are the side quests? This has the feel of an rpg, but the depth of a path way game! What is this game, An "open-world path-way" game? that doesn't make sense. There should be quests for the different factions, specific race and/or class quests and we should have to make choices that effect our Destiny in the game. The story should be dynamic not just a straight line. The factions don't even make a difference! They are just different colored vanguard armor. Bungie is now being compared to Bethesda's ES series, and other MMOs and RPGs but it doesn't have half the content. Many Free to play games have more. I want an explanation! The purpose of this is to hopefully get Bungie to explain themselves or maybe even defend themselves for the very poor lack of story in Destiny in the next weekly update! If you agree with me pick poll 1 and please bump this thread with, "Explain yourself Bungie". And most importantly post your own opinion about this on the forums! Edit: this is apparently an unlinked opinion! The biggest arguments against me here are: the Grimore cards tell the story. My argument is they aren't in the game, and I have read all of the one I have, they don't immerse me in the game at all and aren't really story, they are like he random books you might read in a rpg. The second argument (more valid) is wait for it, the best is yet to come! My argument is, how do we know? I am guessing we will get two to more story quests with the expansions and more maps. What else will be added, more events alike to combined arms probably. So I am just not hopeful and I want Bungie to own up to their short comings and prove me wrong!
