Given all the info that was presented from the start, yes I would still buy it. I know it's difficult to understand at this point in the games life, but while the story is lacking, it does exist. As we sit on the couch, we are reborn as guardians in destiny's world. Imagine, your guardian has lots of questions, as do we. Listen to the npc's. "This is not the time" , "in time, all will be revealed" I will argue that this only the beginning. We aren't strong enough yet to understand. To me, that is the start if an epic story. You are the guardian on your screen. I don't think trading has a place in this game. Not yet. The looting system has to be perfected first. This game is very vanilla. When it comes to open world, races, species, etc., I believe that these things are place holders for future content, as in perhaps when we are all lvl 50, there will be some significance. Remember a lot of content was cut from release to meet deadlines. Hopefully it will be patched in. I find it hard to believe that they had developers and testers working nonstop on this for 7 years, but it's more believe able that the concept of a game of this scope was being hashed out over a 7 year period. It's all very optimistic, I know, but looking at what we told objectively without reading into anything or expecting 10 years of content with one disc release, I remain hopeful and excited.
