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!

3 RepliesThe grimoire doesn't have the game story, it has a few descriptions, curiosities, like every single other sci-fi game has except this one is not even in the game. The grimoire is like an encyclopedia. An encyclopedia is very different from a novel, I hear... The actual game plot: "You're alive even though you were death, you must have so many questions, we will not answer a single one, not even try or start, so let's do stuff. Why? Because "darkness". Warmind Rasputin. What did you say? Nevermind. Let's go to the moon. Oh someone called us from Venus, that's neat, that call must have been expensive, let's go there. Finally someone will tell me something...ah ah just kidding. Darkness. Mars, during the collapse vex pretty much turned it into a machine. What? Nevermind that. Let's go to the black garden. Why? Because a stranger told us. Oh look a big blob surrounded by vex. What is it? What is it doing? Why is it doing it? How is it doing it? Does it matter? Shooting the robots will undoubtedly solve everything that is wrong with out high tech mini moon that seems to be sick for some reason. (Personally I think it needs a hug and a night light to be less afraid of the dark) Literally the moment we destroy the blob by killing its guards and worshipers (for some reason that works): oh look our mini moon seems to be better already, everyone seems to have noticed and the speaker that doesn't say anything useful is already calling us back to hear a speech that also doesn't say anything. The stranger robot that for some reason has boobs: "you and I know the truth, the darkness it still out there" Well it better be because so far this game really needs a plot to go with the setting and universe (that actually sounds really interesting and full of potential). The end. For the actual game stay tuned for the expansions. This is not a plot it's just a series of unfortunate events lol Want more of the game you got? here play the same missions on higher difficulty (like you couldn't do that already) and a few "queen bounties" and differently coloured weapons. Everyone: hey "free content", for the half game we bought to keep us busy until enough time passes that they can start selling us expansions that tell any actual story. I don't hate destiny 1.0, I love destiny despite its many many flaws and see the potential.
