Edit: ok community, with the article and video from gameinformer i am becoming even more hyped and hopefuk for the taken king.
Cutscenes, more interactions with characters, dinklebot being replaced by nolan north (we need a new name, nolanbot?)
And, hopefully according to the article, a much more story driven way to play the game.
Firstly, day 1 beta ghost edition player and shield of heroes bearer. I love this game and want it to succeed (fanboy status out of the way)
The main problem with Destiny isn't necessarily the story; it's there, clear as day.
The problem is we don't [i]care[/i] about the story and it's told far too vaguely and grimoire doesn't really supplement it properly.
We have 0 connection to the Traveler, Stranger, Speaker or even the people of the city we protect. The most character involvement we get is the Ghost and the Queen and there isn't much there (except the Queen's booty).
My point is, with TTK, we need more than 'Oryx is coming for vengeance and he's being a dick to the Cabal- that annoying race u hate'
We need to have actual story driven cinematics that communicate to us that Oryx is a huge douche and we need to get emotionally driven to kill this guy rather than: 'go kill him cuz game, pew pew'.
Thoughts, Guardians?
Please keep it civil, respectful and thoughtful.
Edit: some great hate here from users:
Hes behind 2.0 nerf
Hes behind TTK bundles and UK pricing
He took all the redbull and got wings
Edit: ok so there will be cutscenes, but the content needs to bring out the feels and not just be 'oryx brooding, glowy hand'
Edit: ok so theres a good amount of guardians that feel self-defense is enough and thats fine, but some of us need more. We went to kill the Vex in self defense, but did we rly care while we did it? Or was it just 'lol! Pew pew, o... game over?'
Edit: 8/4/15 new gameinformer TTK article and video. GO GO GO!
Edit: ok, a lot of guardians r saying "we killed his son/ hes a bad guy / hes coming for us - isnt that enough??"
The answer is NO guardians. I understand full well the premise of the story in TTK , but is there a reason to rly care about whats going on?
If theres no emotion behind what we're doing then TTK will just be the same vague, stale mission based fighting that we've been doing for a year now. Its time for the game to take a step up and be more than "go here, pew pew, loot" and actually get us involved in this universe.

1 AntwortenOryx has a voice...soooo

4 AntwortenHe uses his taken powers to take the Queen of the Reef and morphs her into a monster. That seems enough reason for 99% of guardians to hate Oryx without costing Activision more than a few hundred £'s

3 AntwortenBungie said that oryx will be there throught the campaign. Like skolas was but with cinematics, there will be more of our dialouge and cinematics. And if you read the grimore youd be a little scared of oryx

1 Antworten[b]Zavala:[/b] Guardians, I need you to take down Oryx. He borrowed my George Foreman Grill and hasn't returned it.

2 AntwortenHe fuked your mum, m8, what more reason do you need.

3 AntwortenWant to know why we have 0 connection to the speaker traveler etc... because the STORY does not DEVELOPE CHARACTERS not to mention the story fails to convey the BECOME A LEGEND atmosphere it was supposed to nothing you do feels legendary or even hard
-
Agreed. Crota destroyed the moon and killed countless guardians. Oryx should do something 10 times worse
-
14 AntwortenI think it might have something to do with death of our Ghost. It's been stated we're getting a new Ghost voice with TTK, as Peter Dinklage is apparently no longer working with Bungie. What if Oryx, in an attempt to destabilise the Guardians, destroys all their Ghosts?
-
1 AntwortenSince the forums are still talking about it I think I found the perfect storyline. [spoiler]Oryx is coming to our galaxy to destroy us. He already wrote mean comments about the dames of destiny. Mount up guardians grab your shiny armor and fight against the sexist...err I mean darkness.[/spoiler] Big hit!

1 Antwortenum you're not supposed to hate him he's here for revenge so technically you are the bad guy in his eyes
-
3 AntwortenPretty much they need to not have oryx as the boss. The boss needs to be a Taken Guardian. Someone we care for. Someone that would make us say -blam!- you Oryx. Oryx needs to live and he needs to harass us a while before we kill him.

72 AntwortenBearbeitet von Crusader: 7/30/2015 6:31:33 PMYou teleport off your ship as it flies to the tower hangar. You go about your business as usual and your dear friend greets you as you both talk about your travels beyond. Suddenly, the skies darken, a storm circles over, lighting can be seen, and thunder heard. You see the way the Lightning contrasts heavily on the dark sky. The clouds open up slightly directly over the tower and a tomb ship comes flying in, the clouds closing up behind it. A dark skeletal hive knight with bat like wings descends from the ship. In a dark, booming voice, the godlike creature speaks to you. "You are the one who killed my son. He should be so reckless. You are a brave one guardian, with many achievements to your name. But nothing will prepare you for what I will do to you, but not here, no. You will come find me." You stare back and with little fear, reply. "And just what would make me do that?" Oryx almost smiles as he taunts you back. "This" He wraps his claw around your friends' neck as he brandishes his sword from seemingly nowhere. He smiles at you, and proceeds to pierce your friend with his blade, squeezing the life from him. His ghost appears nearby, and Oryx grabs it and crushes it with a firm grip. You watch it all and scream, "You son of a bitch!" As you draw your fatebringer and Fire a few successive shots which appear to do nothing. "So, Guardian. Think you can kill a god?" He laughs as he tosses your friends body away. The Speaker comes running in from the Tower North. "Go! Away from this place! Now!" Oryx turns around and replies. "And so you continue to lie to them. Have you told them the difference between true light and the illusion of power you give them? The hole of lies you've dug yourself so far down that you cannot get out anymore? Then so be it. Come find me guardian, and we'll finish this on my terms. Goodbye, Speaker, until we meet again." He continues laughing as he exits the tower. You know now that this God has to die. And you and five others will bring upon his death. And after you're done, a talk with the speaker wouldn't be a bad plan. END There you go. Only took me a couple of minutes. What's your excuse Bungie? Edit: Thanks for the support guys!

Oryx stole your cake! NOOOOOO!!!

Excellent points. Never cared about any of the bosses in terms of who or what they were at all. Destiny's bosses are more like "shoot this for 8 minutes to complete mission".
