Surely there's some cinematic you forgot to include.. or something. Surely you wouldn't have such a minuscule amount of story in this expansion after the complete backlash from release. Please tell me this is a joke. [b]Edit[/b]: So let me get this straight. You faced a huge, negative backlash for the terrible and short story you gave us at release. You said you heard us, and that we were going to get more in the expansion. The expansion is here, and this is what you gives us? 3 missions, the first of which takes 5 minutes at most, while the other two are the standard ~15 minute missions. No cinematics. Eris hardly talking, but when she does, half the time she's not saying anything meaningful other than "kill X before Y!". 80% of the areas in the story missions are rehashed from previous missions. You can't be serious Bungie. This is pathetic. What's your problem? Is this a matter of arrogance, cluelessness or both? For $20, this is a pitiable amount of story you've given us. Quite frankly, in light of the overwhelming criticism you've received story wise already, this is unacceptable. [b]Edit #2[/b]: To those saying that the raid/strike are part of the story too: I watched streams of the raid. Just lol@the idea of it providing any real amount of story. The strike is your typical 10-15 minute strike. Do the other strikes provide story? No? Then what makes you think it's different this time around? Besides all of that, wouldn't it be logical to assume that the [b][u]STORY[/u][/b] missions would provide the bulk of the [b][u]STORY[/u][/b] in this situation? If the story provided in the missions is terrible and substance-less, what makes you think the raid/strike, which don't revolve around story, will make the story any better? Critical thinking, not even once. [b]Edit #3[/b]: To those saying we should have known what we were buying, or that Bungie told us what would be in the DLC: Woosh. That's the sound of you completely missing the point. Yeah, Bungie told us we'd have 3 story missions. What Bungie DIDN'T tell us is that these 3 story missions would be incredibly anemic/rehashed. The first mission takes 5 minutes, ffs. So no, Bungie did not tell us everything. There was absolutely no way we could have known beforehand just how lazy the implementation was going to be. [b]Edit #4[/b]: To those saying that this game isn't about story, or that shooter's in general don't have good stories: First of all, your statement is completely irrelevant. Second, [quote]Embark on an epic action adventure with rich cinematic storytelling[/quote] That quote is taken directly from the website, from Bungie. Obviously the company you're white-knighting so hard doesn't agree with you. Also, are we going to just ignore the fact that Bungie was the creator of Halo, one of the best shooters ever created, with GREAT story telling at the same time? Can someone explain how Bungie can create a shooter like Halo with adequate story-telling, yet completely fail years later in their next IP? Gears of War is also another shooter that had great story-telling. Obviously great stories and shooters are not mutually exclusive.
