Destiny's Story (DLC - The Game)

I have a feeling it's going to end up being quite like this lovely video. Would you like to know more about The Stranger? Purchase "The Stranger" DLC! Would you like to know about The Speaker? Purchase "The Speaker" DLC! Would you like to know what Ghosts are? Purchase "The Ghosts" DLC! Would you like to know who the Awoken are? Purchase "The Awoken" DLC! There are countless examples of these... I mean, we've barely been told... anything about anything? I'm honestly so in the dark about the characters and everything that I barely care to know anything about them. Which is conflicting, because when I got Destiny, I was so ready to learn everything about the characters, the lore, the universe as a whole, but having beaten the game's ... "story" I just feel uninterested, people keep saying: [quote]"DLC IS COMING AND IT WILL TELL MORE STORY AND THEN DESTINY 2 WHAT DID YOU EXPECT THIS GAME IS GOING FOR 10 YEARS!!!!"[/quote] So, it's going for 10 years? I'm supposed to be excited, right? I'm not... This is just not the kind of story you can expect the majority of players to be excited for, and want more, it's not the kind of game that inspires a 10 year franchise. There's nothing for me to feel excited for, none of the characters are interesting, nothing was explained for me, and now my trust in Bungie's ability to even tell the damned story is close to nonexistent. The only part of me that feels invested in this game, is the part of me that spent ... what was it? 80-90 bucks on it? I've got the stupid DLC pass I guess, and I plan on giving this DLC a chance, because of that. It shouldn't be this way though, I should feel interested in the future of the world I am in, I should feel interested in learning more about the characters I've met, I should WANT to buy the DLC, I should WANT to buy Destiny 2, I should want more story, based on what I have already been told, but instead, I want more story, based on ... not being told one in the first place :l From what it seems, we're going to be charged, just to be told a story, something that should have already been in the main game, we're going to be charged to learn more about the characters we've met, the traveler, the darkness, the aliens we're fighting, pretty much everything since nothing was ever really explained or talked about in the main game. Hell, we might even have to buy a whole new Destiny for it. Destiny was supposed to be so much more, Bungie said it'd be great, expansive, immersive, huge, glorious, and it turns out, the only thing this game truly has to offer, is solid shooting, and a decent co-op/competitive multiplayer experience. Everything else just feels, bland, lazy, repetitive, and just soulless. Destiny has great gameplay, and great multiplayer, but that alone is not going to keep the game afloat, it is not what will inspire a franchise. It's just a matter of time before another game comes along that offers something new, something better in terms of gameplay, and the entire player base is gone, Destiny sinks. As far as the competitive multiplayer that Destiny offers, there's far better and far more competitive multiplayer games out there already. Destiny desperately needs a story, and an immersive world, something that the player wants to be a part of, and as it is right now, Destiny doesn't offer enough as it is to really keep going, and with that in mind, I'm sure they'll be adding a story, but I'm also betting it'll end up being in DLC packs, since that seems to be their priority now. Anyone else feeling like this game is going to end up as "DLC The Game" at least as far as it's story goes?

  • this game could have been tremendous...instead it's just blah....i keep thinking about the original vision of destiny and all that could have been. that game could have become legend....instead we get this watered down version that while playing when my GF says "honey i need you to help with blah blah blah" i have not problem dropping the controler. i was really looking for a reason to break up with her and the original vision of destiny was the basket i put all those eggs into. don't get me wrong for some reason i don't understand i keep playing it over and over agian at the same time thinking "wow this is really boring" or "what is the story/reason behind this particular event i'm doing". remember grape drink and grape juice look the same and sometimes taste the same but they are not the same formula. right now destiny is grape drink and the original vision is the grape juice i salavate for.

    • Yeah, and for anyone working on the Grimoire thank you cause I knew NOTHING about what went on in this game, plus they reference an old Isaac Asimov story so yeah... props.

        For me I just don't feel connected to this game and its characters like I do with others. In Gears of War I actually go upset when people died, Mass effect actually brought to tears and even the ad for Ori made me care. However Destiny is bland and it doesn't help where there is no character interaction. The queen didn't know I was Awoken which is a small thing but would make a difference. My species means nothing nor does the factions. A story can be weak but still last a while. Take WoW there isn't really much story and there are a shed load of DLCs for it, however people care about the characters. Is this down just to trading and crafting? I seriously bought it but it gets people interacting. Is it because Classes are celebrated for there differences? No, but it lessens all the whining. The thing is Destiny has no heart to it, no feeling, no community and sadly if things don't change no real future.

          • Yes you are so true. It's going to happen in fact it's already happening with the expansion pass $30 of poop that changes nothing and leaves you even more curious. I wish they could do better they had 500 million dollars and 6 years bungie we know you can do better.

              • Great example for me is Mass Effect. There were 3 games and tons of DLC. But each game had complete story WITHOUT DLC! Whole Destiny and all cards have a fraction of lore that was present in any Mass Effect game. And every game that I can remember with new and complex world always had some sort of encyclopedia IN GAME!

                • I am so glad that I'm not a story mode kind of guy. I get enough drama watching the rollercoaster known as the Dallas Cowboys and from real life. Shooting differing levels of the same 10-15 enemies over and over for random loot... fine by me. Trying new unlocked weapons... cool. Destroying PvE players that dare enter the Crucible... you know I love that. This game is fun as hell. Very addictive as is. No story needed for me. Even if it was a robust story with deep character development (like Naughty Dog always has), I wouldn't remember it within a few weeks.

                    agreed dlc shouldn't provide the main story. the dlc should be something that adds to or expands the story

                    • The only reason im still playing is that I can play with my friends a lot easier than I can on Bf4......and I bought the hype and purchased the dlc's before playing the game. So im in until dark of the moon or whatever it is called.

                        • This game is worth 20 dollars at best.. Maybe not even that.
