Destiny's Story and Why It's Better Than People Say

I just very recently got Destiny for the Xbox 360. I know I'm way late, but to no surprise, the community is still very active and I find Crucible matches very fast, contrary to popular lies. No, Destiny is not dying, and it won't be any time soon. Now, back to what I was saying. I've been interested in Destiny since it's announcement, but I tried not to keep up with the times as I'd spoil myself of the story and what not. Well, unlike what many people say (only because they crave the need to give Destiny a bad rep, for some reason), Destiny has GREAT lore! The people who bash its story are the same people who play CoD for the story. I won't say whether or not CoD has a good story, mainly because I don't play the campaigns, but I do know that it is a typical in-your-face story type of shooter that tells its story through many cutscenes and straightforwardness. They expect everything to be given to them, rather than earn it themselves. I, however, am a Dark Souls fan, and I was very, very pleased to find out that Destiny, at least part of it, was inspired by Dark Souls. I will admit that Bungie got pretty lazy with some of the Grimoire cards, but aside from those cards, they're awesome as a whole. Aside from that though, there's a lot of story to be found by just reading dialogue, which I guarantee most of the people who bash Destiny's story don't read. And you have to remember, Destiny has a TEN YEAR plan! If they released all of the story in year one or two, that would make a lot of people mad and probably bored. You have to look at the big picture, and the future, and not expect all of the story to be handed to you in hours worth of cutscenes. If you want a movie, go watch a damn movie. P.S. Sorry for any spelling mistakes or bad English. It's like 80° in here and on top of that I'm tired. Don't feel like going over this whole thing.

  • I always love when I buy a new book to read from my favorite author and he gives me the names, then says go read all the history of these people for the story. You can find them online. Is awesome.
