Funny how most of the comments are you

Will you guys play diablo 4 with me when it drops??(:

Well, not much point left with all of this. Activision was not the problem, it was upper management, Money, Jason Jones and co. That is it, everything you need to know right there. It wasn't Activision , Not Joe, not Marty and not their crew. Jason "nerdly nerdlington" Jones and his yes men. We will never see the Super-Cut... They don't have the balls. Case closed.

I don't think it was actually Activision that caused all this, I think it was Jason Jones and his yes men. Here is "Myth: The Fallen Lords" 1996 The first Jason Jones project that kind of feels like he was a nerdy grinder all along. After this one, they did Halo: Combat Evolved, the first in the Halo series and one Joseph Staten was heavily involved in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PySrgfe6pr4 Note: Jones role in development (In Halo: Combat Evolved) was unlike Marathon and Myth, where Jones was involved in developing more than half the levels and much to most of the story. Instead, he was the project lead[9] and a manager, barely providing any code to the game. He would read war journals by authors such as John Kinkaid and Winston Churchill. (Says a lot, doesn't it?) Added note: Activision made a serious offer [to buy us]. (Jason Jones said) But the chance to work on [the Microsoft Xbox console]—the chance to work with a company that took the games seriously. (Interesting no?) The Story gets more interesting: Around the same time, a glitch in versions of Myth II (a Jason Jones project) was found to entirely erase a player's hard drive; this led to a massive recall of the games right before they shipped, costing Bungie nearly one million dollars... (So maybe Jason's wasn't the best at what he did?) The most telling part: After the release of Halo 2, Jones [b]took a sabbatical[/b] from Bungie, [b]not knowing whether he wanted to continue making games.[/b][19] As Jones returned, his involvement with Halo began to diminish,[19] as [b]Jones tended to 'dislike' sequels.[/b] (that shows more of the pieces of the puzzle right there) And the nerdy grinder shows himself again: Jones worked closely with colleague Jaimie Griesemer who was working on his own internal project named [b]"Dragon's Tavern"[/b] which Griesemer described to be a "third person fantasy game" - In the end, Jason got his way with the studio's next project and worked with Griesemer to combine his ideas of "Dragon's Tavern" with what would be Destiny. (that sounds a lot like what we got, not what we were promised) It's why I don't think it was actually Activision at fault. They gave them an extra year to work on Jason Jones rewrite and scrap Joe Staten's 4 to 5 years of work, I'm assuming cause 1) Joe idea wasn't nerdy grinder enough and 2) They needed to make more money cause of the delay which was costing Activision money. Now is it just me or do you not see the pattern I'm seeing cause it's starts to make so much sense when you look into it a bit deeper. What do you think? This is where I got a good chunk of the data on this and there is more. It's interesting cause it makes me feel that Jason Jones heart and head was somewhere else. More in the Luke Smith "Scrubby Lord" territory. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Jones_(programmer) What this says to me? 1) Jason Jones should get his money surely but should not be running this company. 2) Luke Smith should get a different job doing something else, I don't care what but he should not be running anything. 3) They should bring the old team back, give then a cut of the game and let them FIX IT!!! Give it back to those who built it and worked to make it something special, let them make it great again. (Sorry to use a tRump term but it fits here more than anywhere) Oh one last thing, I wanted to give props again to all those who work their magic and make this world that is like a dead fish, look so damn cool. You guys are working under crazy pressure I am sure, and so much of it looks so good. Look, feel, environment, all the little tidbits, just great. It's a shame it's just so ALL OVER THE PLACE, NO MATCH MAKING, CONFUSING, MOD NIGHTMARE and GRINDY!!!

Damn son you give off some Alex Jones vibes. Although this would be cool to see. What you’re doing is not going to get us the sauce.

To be clear, I'm talking about the Super-Cut, the actually 2 hour+ video of all the cut scenes, the video story. I know the basic story beats about the Traveler Speaker Uldren and Rasputin on the DreadNaught. I want to see if it was as problematic as the upper management Jason Jones and others thought. I mean considering what we got at launch I doubt it and I'm guessing that is why they don't want it seen... I'm guessing, don't know for sure (hate that I have to keep saying that) I hope they nut up and show us. $$$ I think they owe us. $$$ I KNOW there are a lot of people who no longer play this game, who would LOVE to see the Super-Cut, there are clearly some left on the boards who feel the same way and there are some who don't care one way or the other. I just hope bungie grows a pair and shows us. Side note, I wounder how many people like me have NEVER done any of the raids in this game? I went into the Leviathan to see it and left. I did some in D1 but not having match making in this game, such a huge mistake in my opinion. Doubt very much that was Joe Staten's idea.

Billy Idol https://youtu.be/FG1NrQYXjLU (Showing my age..lol) PS: I love the Up Vote - Down Vote competition going on here, it's fascinating... (and there off, the fun seekers vs the non)

I have to imagine if I keep at it, at some point Bungie will relent and show us what many of us have been waiting for, for a long time. Without seeing the Super-Cut, it will always be Bungies word against.... NO ONE. However, keep at it folks... Please down vote this so you never learn the truth about this game... It's better you never know... ;-)

here's the original story... We work for Traveler. We then find out Speaker is a lying manipulator and Traveler bad. And oh yeah, Uldren is the Crow.

I assume a good 70 to 80 people are with me and want to see the Super-Cut cause I've been getting a lot of down votes as well. That is a big enough number that I believe bungie should take it seriously and consider it. I personally don't know why everyone wouldn't want a peek at it, so we'll know once an for all?

I thought the original story was going to save Rasputin ( who was an exo) from the DreadNaught or something?

I downvoted due you your sheer desperation for upvotes.

Have you ever considered that you get downvoted, not because people "ARE AFRAID OF TEH TRUTH" (lol), but because you're starting to annoy people with how you keep spamming the forums (and your own threads)? The original idea for Destiny at this point likely just exists as a design/text-document lying around somewhere collecting dust. There couldn't be a "screening" of it. Some poor intern at Bungie would likely have to go through a ton of old folders and try to get some coherent structure out of some old script. And to what end? Bungie isn't afraid of showing this to people. Old design-ideas are most of the time just never released to the public, this is completely normal in the creative industry. Games/Films/Novels often go through tons of revisions and become different things entirely than what was originally intended. This just happens. And you know what? Sure, it WOULD be really interesting to see what was originally intended. But it wouldn't change anything. They can't go back to the original story, because they'd have to scrap EVERYTHING and start from scratch. That's never gonna happen. And most people probably realize that and therefore just don't care. TL;DR: Reading about the old design-ideas sure would be interesting, but thinking some kind of "Super-Cut" would fundamentally change anything now is as delusional as thinking the "Snyder-Cut" would make some of the man's really shit movies good. It's not gonna happen, and you'd sleep easier if you could accept that. EDIT: Ok, so I remembered an article wrong. Apparently a team led by Staten created a video of major story-beats and it wasn't *just* a document. Seeing that sure would be interesting, yeah. Though I still assume it changes little of what I wrote, as in they're never gonna release it, sadly.

There’s a YouTube video floating around that describes what is thought to be the original story Speaker and traveller were bad, uldren was crow and kidnapped you, took you to mars. Dreadnought was in the game. Moon was one of the last locations. Seemed pretty good to be fair
