That would be sophisticated story telling... Which means it will not happen in this game.

Actually bungie is getting pretty damn good at it. Read the book of sorrows, it's really interesting.
-
But is any of that in the game?
-
No its not sadly. Bungie will never have enough cutscenes to fill what's already been overlooked...
-
Which brings us back to square one and Bungie's minimalist content. I don't understand the willingness to pay for a game one chapter at a time, only for that chapter to be unreadable when the next paid add on comes out. It's genuinely mind boggling to me.

I mean the game is seperate to me. I like the fact that we're all scrambling to piece It togeather and make sense. Kinda reminds me of how bloodbornes story is hidden in vauge item descriptions. So every time a new expansion comes out, so does a wave of lore speculation, which is what I thrive off of:)

I don't think they've done anything that clever, otherwise we'd be getting more of the big picture instead of one off stories. I really think they've screwed themselves on an overall story arc and each dlc will simply present a new threat to earth somehow. A similar concept would be dragonball z, there's no "story" to it, just fighting the next threat to arise. If they had just gone that route from the beginning and not telling us about this grand story, people, myself included, wouldn't have such a problem with it. Outside of absurd cost to play these chapters of course.

See that makes me more conflicted. A great read with great lore but again not in game making it feel like a cheap add on. I was excited to actually see Tolands journal used in game though we couldn't read it. But this is the company that had us collect the journal to forge bad juju then ignore it and say eris had it the whole time. Until some of this is in game it's very difficult to appreciate any of it

Edited by CloudNyine: 9/30/2015 9:29:02 PMI wasn't even aware of that. Damn. It seems like y1 was just thrown togeather and throughout it they started forging a backstory to key elements that they managed to scrounge up just before vanilla launch.
-
Well originally there was no grimoire. They hired someone to write it based on the old scripts joe wrote before leaving. So the lore is exactly that. A hodgepodge of half baked ideas they threw together at the last second hoping to pass it off as similar to dark souls when it has a 1/1000000 of the Immersion at best.
-
Damn I didn't even know that. Boy, this thread has been the most informative post I've had. Learning lore as well as real life scandals. I hope they manage to make something good out of what they managed to save...
-
I think they can do good things. Whether it's ever implemented in game well who knows. Certain things never will be. For example lfg. It will likely be never that lfg or more matchmaking options will be in game. The sites bring in too much add revenue and marketing opportunity. They care about that more than keeping more players. I don't know who is in charge of bungivision marketing but it seems like licensing destiny out is seen as better profit opportunities than making the game more appealing
-
Sadly I think your right...I'm hoping they snap on the story, but like you said either activision, bungie, or both are only looking to line their pockets.
