Thank you for your vid, it brought some interesting points. Never cared about reviews for anything, usually never even read them. Have been a Bungie fan since 2001, love Bungie's work and I was going to buy the game regardless. But the last thing I expected was a weak story delivery in a Bungie game and everyone having to rush to its defense. Story telling is not easy and sometimes the magic is just not there. It's not there for me. Finished the campaign stories/episodes and don't have any attachment to any characters or plot. As this first installment lays the foundation for the stories/episodes to come, it was a good reason to make it engaging from the start. That said, this is coming from someone who plays linear campaigns (still playing all the Halos to date lol) and need to find an emotional element and a world I want to be in to continue being interested and come back often. Point and shoot is not enough for my game play style, don't care for MMO and RPG features. You can't please everyone, I am sure many find the game sufficiently fun to get hooked and keep playing it for years. As for game play mechanics, felt comfortable in PvE, it's incredibly rewarding to shoot stuff and get better gear, up until the point where I'm not even sure if I already played a mission because they all look the same... I am complete garbage at PvP, but that is entirely coming from my lack of skills and I can see how fun it is for the people who have those skills down. Will keep on trying to improve ;) My only awe moments were paired with combat and Marty O'Donnell's music, a magical combination without the need of a script. Destiny is a brave new world, thumbs up to Bungie for trying something new and different. There is far more positive than negative in the end result to please most.
