It was great to read
Does anyone else miss it?
I love the concept of it. It was a unique aspect to a game (that I have never seen before in games, if someone has can you tell me? That would be sweet).
But I guess the crappier side to is was the story wasn't in D1, it wasn't told as properly and you had to go through and read the grimoire to get an understanding of what is happening, which wasn't a very neat aspect. If they had added more story to D1, and focused more on the story telling I'm sure the grimoire would be useful for things like weapons, and exotics pasts like Thorn.

2 RespuestasEditado por Orbital Drop Shock Trooper: 8/25/2017 6:20:08 PMIt made snobs out of the community because the 'finished' game had no story and we all know it, but the 'hipster' nerds were trying to defend this aspect by trying to push this 'destiny had more story than you know' notion too hard because they read some back of a card fanfic and internalized that crap to really diehard believe that Destiny 1's story was something that they were more smug for engaging their time with, while the rest of the community understandably turned off with the 'don't have time to explain' notion. We're talking 0.01% bottom of the barrel nerds here who need the grimiore to believe that this game is something more and as a result they inevitably did not hesitate to make people feel like they really missed out on some Lord of the Ring's style Game of Throne epic that this game's story 'really' represented... nah -blam!- em and the grimoire. That is not the format of good storytelling and by far it should not be the standard moving forward.

I miss it. My friend and I were in competition about our grimoire scores. It led me to use guns other than my favorites and it really added lore to the otherwise empty game

1 RespuestaYeah I liked it being there. They could easily have retained our Grimoire acquisition info and left it on our bnet account and access here as it was.

1 RespuestaEditado por Ethyrean: 8/26/2017 11:42:43 PMIt's the reason I'm not preordering, rather waiting for more information about the game to be released at launch. I'm not sure whether I'll really enjoy the game enough to play without it. Whenever I bragged to people about Destiny, I usually talked about how great it was that it used the dual-narrative of the grimoire and main game to express things you couldn't alone with a video game or a book alone. However, I do think that it shouldn't have monopolized the "lore" as it did. There WAS a story in D1, it was just that there wasn't much to theorize about without the grimoire. I still think that both could exist with the introduction of more "hints" or "glimpses" of things that happened in the past with either item descriptions, Ghost dialogue, or scenery. Think Chekhov's Gun; make things more interconnected. I don't understand, however, why they removed the grimoire. I don't remember seeing forum posts begging Bungie to remove it, just posts asking for more in-game lore. Did that really mean that they had to butcher an entire department? [spoiler]Funny that Bungie has a history of doing that though, right? "Let's nerf some subclasses/weapons to make others more powerful!" "Let's nerf the grimoire to make the in-game story more powerful!" If that philosophy is really that encompassing, I might not buy the new game at all.[/spoiler]

1 RespuestaI took time to read it all in a long session to grasp certain plot holes and combine others (some cards and stories do skip around when laying out the event or picture) I for one enjoy the grimoire and hope they have better story telling capabilities in D2

I miss the grimoire ;-;
-
I'll miss the lore if they decide not to write it anymore but I sure won't miss the stupid arbitrary number they attached to it that amounted to little more than a dick measuring contest for the last three years.
-
1 RespuestaThey got rid of grimoire because it wasn't originally intended to exist. It was definitely unique, but it wasn't good.
-
I personally enjoyed the grimoire. I had many hours of entertaining reads with it. I would have enjoyed it if they had kept it for added flavor pieces that could be accessed in game as well. But I can live without it
-
1 RespuestaHard to judge when you haven't truly played all of destiny 2. If it's game why is there a problem.
-
2 Respuestasno. i won't miss it. it was a horrible concept. having NO story to begin with was bad enough, and then to understand background information about the game i had to leave and read it?! no this and having no in-game matchmaking or clan activity were all really bad and lazy design concepts my two cents
-
2 RespuestasI love how everyone hated grimoire, but when D2 is announced to have story everyone is going to miss. Says a lot about the gaming community
-
At least half of what we think of as Destinys story is just YouTube speculation anyway.

Editado por FromNowOn: 8/25/2017 5:00:35 PMI'm hoping that they don't [i]completely[/i] integrate the "story" into the game. A nice library-like area to chill and read some lore in-game would be nice. If it's just a billion cutscenes I'm gonna be a bit disappointed that they completely scrapped the idea of reading lol
-
A bit but I do agree it could've been. Ice in d1 to have some kind of in game area to look at it but I like how they kinda implement this in d2 with the adventures on each patrol area gives more story to each area and I like that
