What happened at bungie to make this game so shallow?
It feels more like some game app on a phone that is mean to just get you hooked/do the same thing over and over. There is no depth to the story at all.
It's like there are [i]traces[/i] of where there should be story, but its just gone.
/Opinion of course

Activision fired the original story writer.

Destiny has been in the works, at least on a conceptual basis, since as early as 2009. The story, the lore etc. were all likely shaped and developed at this time. Then Bungie managed to get a publisher who would support the game, and began development. At some point in, they started hitting bottlenecks in last gen hardware, and realized that they had bit off more than they could chew. At that point, they had to scale back the overall size of the game. However, the story had originally been written for something much more expansive, so things had to changed in that area as well. My guess is that this is what caused Joe Staten to leave. Without the main writer, someone else had to pick up the ball, and this is likely where Destiny's story took it's current form over the rumored original version that's been floating around the net for months.

1 ReplyHeard something about the writer for bungie leaving shortly after going to Activision? No idea if it's true or false but makes sense to me. Besides that Activision is definatly the colprate for greedy business practices.

Activision happened. They're infamous for being greedy, money hungry, monsters who run every single game series they touch into the ground. I can understand Bungie wanted to break away from Microsoft, but they made the worst possible choice for their publisher, and now they're paying for it by going the same route that Call of Duty is.

Thank activision

5 RepliesIf you've ever worked a corporate job you already know what happened but you may not have put it together. It's really simple. Some asshole's quarterly bonus happened. Some empty headed shitheel suit had a performance incentive as part of his pay and in order to collect it, Destiny had to ship on time. That's it. No other thought went into it. He said "Just f ucking ship it!!!" And, they did. And he got his bonus. And he probably spent it on a mahogany ball scratcher with mother of pearl inlay. This is what's wrong with the world. The people in charge are only managing their monthly pay and doing f uckall about the product they're supposed to be producing and supporting. They just don't care about the end product because that's not what these companies make anymore. They make shiny balls of shit, excuses, lawsuits and executive pay packages.

1 ReplyI read somewhere that a lot of the story was cut because it was too complex or confusing and that content was cut so it could be repackaged as "DLC" and sold to us. Can't speak to the DLC part (though I hope it's not true), but the story portion definitely feels like a crapton of it is missing.

Deej came along. ;)

9 RepliesWell, the game is new and perhaps they plan to continually add depth to it as time passes?

Lol. Here we go again.

2 RepliesThey signed a deal with the Devil, aka Activi$ion. Corporate Commander ripped the guts out of the game to flog it off as DLC.

2 Repliesidk, maybe they figured out that more of us just wanted to PLAY a game rather than listen to or sit through one, in the form of cut-scenes and lore.

3 RepliesI have a strong feeling activision made bungie cut most of the cool content to give the game a certain rating to sell it to younger people, in turn making more money. Activision hold the purse strings. Joe and Marty were obviously like "-blam!- this shit". Trailers from 18 months ago and even more recent are sure indicators summat major went down.

Bungie just wants you to play the same thing over again and when you get something for another class, it eggs you on to make another character to do the same thing over and over again. It's an endless cycle of waste that bungie wants
