Destiny is bigger than you think

Here's what i know. Destiny is Huge. it really is. you think there is no story but there is. its in the grimoire cards and in gear/weapon descriptions. What story there is to Destiny is the foundation to later expansions to the game. this is not Call of Duty where you can beat it in 6 hours and go straight to the multiplayer, or skip the campaign and play only multiplayer anyway. In fact, Destiny is NOT any of those games everyone keeps comparing it to. its not COD, its not Borderlands, its not Mass Effect whatever. Its Destiny. Since a lot of players don't like to find things out themselves but rather be told to or have their hands held throughout the game, thats probably why its been badly criticized. Now on the levels leading to the base level cap which is 20, levels 1-20 is your training to become a Guardian. before then, Guardian is just a title until you finally become one. which takes a lot of effort and learning about yourself and what you can do. yes, getting gear after lvl 20 is very important, as you can tell you need it to do higher level strikes and raids, but have you ever stopped to read your gears description? It has a lot of important details. Lore and non-lore related. The non-lore descriptions have to do with You the player. Stop and look around in the areas. nobody has been on mars or venus, the moon (for decades) enjoy the terraformed scenery. you may find something that could tell you what happened during the Golden Age or what happened during the Collapse. Now im sure a lot of you will give me shit about all this because a lot of players are ignorant to the games they play. Bungie did not work on this game for 10+ years to give you this. they have more in store for us. If any Bungie employee reads this, thank you!

  • [quote]Destiny is Huge. it really is[/quote]It really isn't. [quote]you think there is no story but there is.[/quote]Nobody is saying there isn't a story in the game. There is. It's just complete shit. [quote]its in the grimoire cards[/quote]And right there is a major problem of it. Locking away crucial info on races, characters, weapons, etc. on ANOTHER platform is nothing short of idiotic. Players who don't visit Bungie aren't going to know about many things the Grimoire cards tell. We pay money for a complete experience, not a story that is told elsewhere. [quote]What story there is to Destiny is the foundation to later expansions to the game.[/quote]See this? This is -blam!-ing stupid. I don't shell out $80 for a half assed, half complete story, ONLY to pay MORE money for story that should have already been included. If the story told in Destiny is a "foundation", then it's build out of -blam!-ing sand. It's a horrible precedent and practice Bungie is setting here. [quote] this is not Call of Duty where you can beat it in 6 hours and go straight to the multiplayer, or skip the campaign and play only multiplayer anyway[/quote]Except, you pretty much can do both of those. The campaign is so linear and short, beating it 6 hours isn't impossible. You only need level 5 to play multiplayer, and I reached that before even finishing Earth. [quote]Since a lot of players don't like to find things out themselves but rather be told to or have their hands held throughout the game, thats probably why its been badly criticized[/quote]Right, people criticizing the game on ACTUAL faults are wrong. They just need their hand held, and don't understand the true scope of Destiny. [quote]Stop and look around in the areas. nobody has been on mars or venus, the moon (for decades) enjoy the terraformed scenery. you may find something that could tell you what happened during the Golden Age or what happened during the Collapse.[/quote]In all my time playing Destiny, I haven't seen a single piece of scenery that gives me backstory on what has happenend in the universe Bungie created. Beautiful skyboxes, for sure. But a volcano spitting out blue lava doesn't really tell me jack shit about why the Vex are sitting with their thumbs up their asses not taking over the solar system. [quote]Bungie did not work on this game for 10+ years to give you this[/quote]If Bungie really spent over 10 years making Destiny, then they -blam!-ed up horribly somewhere along the road. 10 years to make this game? Christ almighty.
