"The story missions, and really the entire DLC, is introduced by a cinematic, but it’s just a voiceover played over a solar system map. When I asked if the story missions would contain any additional cutscenes featuring actual characters, the team said no. They maintained that Wolves’ story is told effectively through voiceovers during the missions themselves, and through the existence of the new social space in the Reef which has a bunch of new vendors which can give insight into the plot with their quips as you buy things from them or pass by.
While there are a lot of new characters (ie. vendors), I am pretty disappointed with this aspect of the expansion. Despite having “more” story stuff, more vendors, a new Reef social area, and more story missions, the style of storytelling is exactly the same. I just don’t believe you can effectively tell a good story through voiceovers alone. A voiceovered cutscene. Voiceovers during missions. Voiceovers as you buy things from vendors. That’s just not enough."
How can they do this bullshit practice. How can I even relate to my character. I am so angry right now. This is the last straw for me
I'm done.

What a bunch of whiny bitches. Go start a company and create your own games. Obviously bungie wants to please its customers like all companies do would and everyone that thinks otherwise are the annoying glass half empty people that this world needs less of. I for one really enjoy this game. It has bugs and opportunity areas but why waste your time complaining like a primadonna princess that isn't getting everything you could dream of?

If you expect an amazing story, go play another game. They obviously aren't going to put effort into something that you only play for an hour or less.

Wow how disappointing

The lore is amazing but the way they present it is awful

It's money over quality sadly greedy sh its

1 ReplyPeople keep buying their stuff so Bungies gonna do the minimum to keep throwing crap out for us to buy. If most players can hold off instantly buying their products for fear of being left behind in Destiny maybe Bungie will get a wakeup call

They story aspect of Destiny cannot be recovered unfortunately. No DLC can fix the base games lack of it
-
How can they do it?? Its cheap and easy and they don't care what we think, that's how

It's to be expected by now. Many may say get over it, but what hurts more is the realization that this universe is intriguing. The Grimoire proves that. Now of only they utilized it better than -blam!-ing Yu-Gi-Oh! cards.

1 ReplyI love how in the video teaser the guy says "compelling story" for house of wolves.

3 RepliesWhere have you been? The game's been out for 8 months. Everybody knows about the story. Please find something else to complain about, because this complaint is getting old.

1 ReplyNot for nothing, but if you look at the HoW full reveal trailer there is some small CS action in at least one of the story missions. This writer didn't play the story missions and neither have any of the other people that flew out there. We still don't know much about them. I would take it with a grain of salt.

1 Reply*shrug* all this does is reinforce my opinion to never buy a game when it first comes out or make any preorders, early access purchases, etc... Tired of being shown one thing and getting garbage. So long as everyone feeds these companies money with little regard to how it changes things, it's just gonna get worse. I mean, I never thought id see the day of a cash shop item that makes finishing moves an extremely simple task, but here we are, with a game that does just that. Sad part is this is a triple A game im talking about... AND IT HAS A CASHSHOP. The future is not bright for consumers, unless of course, we stop blindly giving them our money.

3 RepliesHave you ever been in the middle of a firefight struggling to stay alive, when someone comes up to you and starts having a long detail discussion about something? I for one tune it out until I have a moment to give them my attention. It's no different with Destiny, I'll be so drawn into what I was doing that if anything is said - aside from enemy positions and such - I will not hear it. By the end of this expansion I'll still be lost I'm sure if that's how they plan on telling the story. Linear levels with voice actors nagging you about something. To this day I don't remember much of what TBD was about, other than Omniguls screams and that one chick saying "CROTAAAA?!?" on that one mission where they try to summon him.

I don't think there is anything that can be done to make any of this stuff make any sense now that it's been gutted. I also expected all of that again so I'm not surprised. I was hoping for some of the cut scenes with her brother we saw In pre launch footage. Guess not.
-
Lol, "budget issue". Like they didn't make enough to spend on a better story. It's not a budget issue, it's an issue of not going with the story that was written for 5 years or more before release. So many excuses.

1 ReplyOnce Destiny consists of 99% call of Duty players, which the constant preference for pvp will eventually cause, nobody will ever expect story elements again. Destiny 2 will probably just drop you on a planet with a gun and have a big flashing GO! on the screen.

4 RepliesWhy did you buy a Bungie game for story? You actually thought they could deliver a story? Based on what? Halo... Master Chief? Lol Go get any Naughty Dog game. How about Mass Effect? Or maybe even GTA? Bungie isn't on the story telling level of these other games. Never will be now that they partnered up with the McDonalds of gaming... Activision. Move on. Be happy.

1 ReplyAll you people saying that no one bought this game for the story is a complete and utter lie. Sorry but you all, at least the day Oners expected the story to be amazing. Bungie advertised it as such and that wasn't the case. Don't lie on here because you are trying to justify your purchase. I'm not saying destiny is bad, I play this game a lot and love it.

5 RepliesYou can't really be that surprised. They're still coasting off all the suckers like me who bought into the season pass. Making any kind story would require writing, art, voice actors, cinematics, you know:[b] EFFORT[/b]. Their current business model is to make a quick cash grab off of an "expansion" using existing art assets and gameplay. Adding a story would require them to actually create something new and why do that when you've already chopped up your game to be sold in pieces as DLC? Play Witcher III. Play Warframe. Play Neverwinter. Play Bloodborne. Play literally anything else. If enough people leave, they'll react simply to avoid negative press and the impact it would have on shareholders. If the new Bungie is anything, its prideful.

Edited by MatrixasISeeFit: 5/10/2015 2:56:32 AMI used to be really salty about story and just came to the conclusion that Bungie doesn't tell stories anymore. Cutscenes with great voice actors are a thing of the past when it comes to Bungie. I will be playing the Witcher 3 for my story fix.

6 Replies[u]You are your character.[/u] most games create a main character for you with its own back story. Destiny doesn't do this. Instead it creates the adventure you go on. This is what MMOs do. ( yes I know destiny is not an mmo.)
