The story in this game is so unbelievably wank that I thought that they got my sister to write it. I like this game and will play it for ages but c'mon Bungie, sort it out.

If Dinklage didn't talk to himself and actually expanded upon what he'd done, and if the Grimoire cards were in the game I'd say it was good. What I can't take seriously is Bungie describing this to be on the same level as Game of Thrones, and if that was played with a hint of irony I'd be fairly forgiving. The MMO line doesn't work here - MMOs almost always finish their quest hub text from what I've seen, and if the main plot isn't complete it at least ends on a high note. When an expansion is brought out, it makes a new story and also finishes it on a high note, not just string you along. The biggest issue is that Destiny doesn't want to kill off one of its 4 enemy factions, meaning that you can't do anything that makes you feel like you've contributed massively to the world but rather thrown rocks at your foes. If there were say, 9 enemy factions then you'd be able to at least kill off one or two during the main story. If Bungie had more storytellers than the Ghost, the Speaker and the Stranger, I reckon that'd be a step in the right direction. Add to that the reasons why the enemies are fighting each other instead of uniting in the name of the Darkness, as well as giving bosses memorable speeches, this story could've been one of the best told this year. The universe is there, but Bungie are afraid to give too much in the base experience and end it all too suddenly.
