“Why are you so excited for them to sell the grimoire back to us after they removed it”
This is something the community has been asking for, something [i]I[/i] have been asking for, since day one. And if you don’t want to buy it, that’s fine. It’s not needed to play Destiny, so there isn’t any real reason to whine about it, you can still find the Grimoire online on several websites.
I mean, is it really that unreasonable to have a physical copy of all of the Destiny lore for you to read whenever you wanted? Yeah sure, it would be nice to read with the app every once in a while, but I would much rather read it out of a book. Not to mention the app/website will go down for maintenance periodically, and eventually down for good, (Hopefully not anytime soon.)
Take the Creature Bios from Ark Survival Evolved for example. You can find all of these in game, with their art, all the information about them, etc.
And you can view each one that you find whenever you want.
But I’m not going to go start up my Xbox and TV, get my annoyingly uncomfortable chair set up, start up the game, wait for it to load, and go to the lore tab just to do a bit of reading.
No, for that purpose, the book that came with the limited edition is something I’d use instead.
All those stories and amazing art pieces are in one neat, organized space. No fiddling with games or apps or whatever. And as long as you take care of it, it will most likely last forever. I mean, come on, I’m sure I don’t need to list every single advantage a book has over it’s electronic counterpart.
Point is, you all are completely misunderstanding the release of a Grimoire book. Should Bungie have kept the lore on the website? Yes, they should have. Is this a cash grab? No, it really isn’t. This is something that [i]we[/i] asked for.
[b]Edit:[/b] People seem to be forgetting that Bungie is adding [b][u][i]AN IN GAME LORE TAB FOR ALL TO USE[/i][/u][/b] this September.
[b]Edit 2:[/b] Since you numbskulls seem to think that I’m assuming they took the lore out of Destiny 1 the game, I’m referring to the Grimoire that was [b]on the site.[/b]

Yes, they should have. Is this a cash grab? No, it really isn’t. This is something that we asked for.[/quote] Hmm, show me in the last 3+ years where gamers asked the lore to be removed? Edit: When you can show me that the majority of the player base asked for that knowing how popular it was and how gamers use to flood this forum about the lore. Then you might have something to talk about. This is no different than Bungie introducing Ghorn then remove it to use it as a carrot for a couple time in D1 knowing how popular it was. Funny how all this is taking place just in time for forsaken right? Wouldn't want to miss that carrot. The cheap moves this company has been pulling this last year is absurd no matter how you "try" to justify it, especially knowing they could have added this in the game a while back with a few other things they are using as a carrot in hopes to get gamers to buy forsaken. Hmm, do you think this reskinned game will bring Ghorm back? Nah, Bungie would never do that. Oh, and what did Bungie say before D2 released, something along the lines that they thought there was too much cough "story" in D2. Right... Edit: I wonder how many actual Bungie employees bumped this post lol.

8 RepliesBungie could show up at their houses, burn them to the ground, tell them they were sorry, they messed up, and offer to sell them these little rinky dink one room wooden shacks and what's left of the community would sing their praise, throw money at their feet, and give each other happy little reach arounds inside them while they played Forsaken and ate hot pockets. Because in this day and age, criticizing a business for insanely terrible and insulting business practices is considered toxic. I still can't believe that this game has managed to make it to Y5 after this downright abysmal Y4 based on what it COULD be rather than what IT IS AND WHAT IT'S BECOME.

1 ReplyAnyone whining about that book is a troll, a child, or a -blam!-ing moron. Simple as that.

4 RepliesShould I start a thread now just to hold a place for everyone who buys the book to bitch later that it wasn't what they thought they were paying for?

1 ReplyI'll be waiting for somebody to upload it into pdf format 😂

1 ReplyI still get a kick out of looking through the Prima strategy guide for Destint 1. The pages where it explains light level, mechanics, economies, etc. It's actually kinda funny to see the vanilla stuff that became obsolete so quick. It's not about it being useful, but about it being entertaining. I preordered the grimoire book, and it'll go next to a bunch of other collectible books that I have, and from time to time I'll thumb through them and enjoy the retrospective, nostalgia, and to me that's worth the money.

2 RepliesBecause I want it. Any other questions?
-
4 RepliesIf you look at other big rpgs like masseffect , the witcher 3 , skyrim etc they all have an in game codex implemented in the game where you can read lore to your hearts content. Destiny just continues to milk their playerbase when they could have opted to put this book in game, but ofcourse money talks bullshit walks i bet the lore content creators are behind this move.

I will totally be buying it because even in D1 I wanted a grimoire book and looks like I’m getting what I wanted lol

I'm old school. Digital copies can not compete with the feel and smell of an actual book in your hands. I have pretty much purchased all Destiny related books. The children's book happens to be one of my son's favorite for bedtime. I have pre-ordered this new grimoire book. I can't wait to get it so I can read the Book of Sorrows to my kid right before he goes to sleep. Muahahaha.

1 ReplyEdited by o0DELTA FORCE0o: 7/29/2018 6:50:37 PMI want the book however I am not paying a shipping cost that is roughly almost the cost of the book itself. Maybe if they release it to other places I will see how much they want for shipping.
-
Because we’re not chronic whiners. The grimoire is fantastic and the chance to have it in print with illustrations is amazing.
-
1 ReplyDo you really think Bungie needs more money? Or do you really need your digital meth fix. Go hug a family member or even a stranger. It’s okay man life’s too short..
-
That said, the Grimoire no longer matters. They’ve retconned it into folklored oblivion.

The grimiore wasn't even in the game to begin with. The tabs and collectibles were there, sure, but the actual lore was on the website. They're selling that plus art aswell. And anyone complaining about that should message famous authors and tell them to just upload their book for free as a pdf online, see how far that'll get you. The book bungie is releasing is a collection of stories; the lore of destiny. Do i want the lore content to be in the game aswell? [b][i][u]Of Course I do[/u][/i][/b]. However, not everything can be put into a game such as these lore tabs (we're getting one in september anyways). Other lore rich games express this lore mostly through their characters and what they say/do with the exception of something like skyrim where the books are literally there for the player to read. What people need to be aware of is that criticising bungie for the creation of this book isn't going to tell them anything. Criticise them for things like expressing the lore through characters, as mentioned above, as well as other points that'll actually help the game.

1 ReplyIf the shipping wasn’t much higher then the book I would have loved a copy. :( I used to love to read on the app and now that it will be in-game will be even better but I agree having a book is much better. I hope they release it on amazon or ebay with a cheaper shipping rate.
-
Yeah.. I dont want to take anything away from people who worked on it, but i agree. Anyone who cares already knows the lore
-
Honestly, the grimoire on the site was really good, extra info on adds, exotics and bosses. loved to sit and read the lore and hard work that went into the writing of destiny. would absolutely love any and all extra lore that can be added to the game. regardless of format.
