they gutted the narrative from the game itself and replaced it with a set of cards that will give you the story IF you play the game without it long enough to unlock the cards that you need, then take the time needed to read the cards and put each card in the right order to form a proper timeline and storyline. you should not have to play a game to either near or full completion prior to getting the narrative behind everything you've done. even beating the Crota raid feels like a mere accomplishment... a trophey. it has no real meaning or weight to the narrative in-game. you should not have to complete the Crota raid and then wander over to a website or an app to read about what you did. if you went to a movie and it was full of action scenes with hardly any real plot presented to give you a clear understanding of what lead to those action scenes or why those actions scenes are significant, then you'd probably walk away with the thought "man, I loved the action, but what the hell was it all about?" now imagine if the movie producers and directors said "oh, we had to cut a lot of that stuff out. if you go to our website and show proof that you've paid for and watched the movie, then we'll give you access to a set of index cards that will give you small pieces of the narrative that we cut out, but you'll still have to piece it together for yourself." would that make a lot of sense to you?
