So with this supposed reddit AMA, community unrest, and rumors of significantly cut content I want to know if this community has come to a consensus on what's important in a game.
There is very little story content in the game right now. Grimoire does not count. Who in the higher ups thought that it was okay to have little to no story? The story in my opinion is simply the most important aspect in developing a game world. If there is no story, no lore, there is no purpose.
Halo had a story. The reason I played the halo campaign repeatedly was to relive the epic and unique story. I loved it. Albeit I was in my teens at the time, I was so into the fate of John 117 and earth and who the forerunners were etc etc.
But this. This game. I'm saddened. I know this game company, Bungie, is better than this. I want to convince myself that buying a ps4 was a good investment just for this game. I want to overlook the flaws in the game. But I was expecting a story as epic if not more epic than what Halo was. Just had to get that off my chest.
[b]TL;DR[/b] Story is important to building a living breathing world players care about. Why gut it? Sadness, Bungie has a rep for being awesome, blah blah, more sadness. Think that sums it up.
