Angry Review is up

And i think Joe is absolutely right. There are so many aspects of the game where destiny is as good as we would expect from bungie, but the story doesn't even start before the end credits roll. They totally sold us an incomplete game, with a DLC card in the package. I defended bungie wherever i could when people said the activision alliance isn't a good idea, but look what they have done. Do you guys think they planned on shipping the game with this introduction story to destiny in mind? Do you really think they thought this would be enough? I don't.

    [b]EDITED IN NOTE:[/b] Don't bother responding if you aren't going to actually read the whole post, and spouting that the game has 10 years of content is just so wrong. The game does not have 10 years of content, the SERIES is projected to last 10 years, and being sold the actual story bits when the game needed proper exposition is just wrong if we are already paying full retail price. The game is lacking in plot other than somehow knowing where to go next with little to no explanation (or reasons as to why). A chapter of a series still should have a beginning, middle, and end (to the first section of the overarching plot), and shouldn't be stripped away. --------------------------------------------------------- Wow, so reading the comments here, and I am disgusted at the people who just ignore the faults with the game. The one that sickens me most of all is how they are proud of paying for the game where the story is not presented in any real and exciting telling, and instead how there is no context for anything in the game itself. Why are people wanting to pay for content that should have been in the game from the start (story itself, and not things that would add on to it). These are the people that are going to ruin games for the future, as companies will continue to slice off content (or plan to leave out story, and just make it later while doing this) as they will be able to sell it to people post-release. The intital game that you pay a full retail price for SHOULD feel like a complete chapter in a saga if that is what it is going to be, and not just have small repetitive missions, copy / paste patrol missions, and a complete lack of story telling. It is utter disgusting at the complacency in some people. This isn't about wanting all the expansions that are worked on post-release (key words: worked on), but wanting the story that is attempted at being told to have some depth to what is delivered. There is no real story beyond "You were dead, now you are alive, and without any context I want you to mass kill aliens". The protagonist doesn't question their resurrection, what they're being told to fight, or anything that a sane and rational person would actually do. They have no reaction to being brought back or even how so much has changed since they are alive, and instead just blindly follow. Maybe that in itself is why these other people are so at home with that story, because that is how they act in real life: sheep. Also going to add on by saying that we were shown more story based content years ago than what was actually given in the game, and were told complete lies such as Jason Jones talking about the grand exploration to the mountain off in the distance as it was all explorable space. Sadly, both had seen the cutting room floor, but we were made to expect that level of depth to the game, and when they were asked, they just side stepped and gave a non-answer to the questions from worried fans.
