Please Swallow Your Pride and Fix the Story

This is a plea to the powers that be at Bungie. Let me first say you made a beautiful game that has great gameplay mechanics. I havent like the feeling of a game this much since I first played Halo back in 2001. I just wanted you to know up front that I really wanted to love this game. Having said that please allow me to share my thoughts. I LOVED Halo. You created a universe I spent the better part of 13 years exploring and I loved every second of it! I was extatic when you announced your new space epic Destiny. I said to myself "Finaly after years of mediocre, recycled FPS's I can finally sink my teeth into a rich universe, a new quest." Alas you have greatly disappointed me. Instead of an epic story you gave us a barely finished, incoherent, and disjointed mess that leaves me confused and asking myself why I let you trick me with some shiny graphics and a promise of more. Furthermore your weak attempt at fleshing out the story in "Grimoire Cards" also fails on every level. After reading these not only do I not know anything about the universe, races, factions, or characters I also have no context for why I should care about any of this. I believe every description of key plot elements has the phrase "shrouded in mystery" or "is unknown" in it. This is lazy and insulting to fans and those who worked so hard to develop this game. If I believe the internet gossip this is due to internal conflict within Bungie. Your head writer left and you dropped the ball. Well we the fans are suffering from the fallout of your internal battles. And we are tired. We are tired of broken, half finished games that need patches or DLC just to function. We paid for a complete game, a complete story, a complete universe. You didn't deliver. We are dissapointed. We are angry. We are sad. We are betrayed. And many of us will leave you and never come back..... unless.... Fix the story. Admit your mistake and release a patch that completes the story. Give us the glorious cut scenes, the engrosing characters, the epic adventure you promised. Go with the original vision for the game. Stop hiding behind a wall of silence and denial. You dropped the ball, so pick it up. You have the ability to fix this. And for gods sake don't charge us for it. Fleshing out an incomplete story in content we have to pay for is esentially you making us pay for your mistakes. We want to purchase DLC that expands the universe not fills in the glaring blanks. WE WANT TO GIVE YOU MONEY SO YOU CAN MAKE MORE GAMES!!! We just want complete stories and fully functioning games. You have proven you are some of the most creative, inovative people in the business. Give us something you can be proud of. Please just fix it. One of your biggest fans

  • Sadly I have to agree, while I enjoy the gameplay and environment, the epic story I had been expecting from all the pre-release vids and materials never showed up to the game. The story in the game as it stands now is bare and hallow. Even after reading all of the unlocked grimoire cards I still do not have enough to make me care much about the game world. Nothing that invests me in the events and people/city I am defending. Right now it feels like I am a mindless drone resurrected to do the bidding of a city/council/people w/barley any curiosity as to why I should be. I hope with future updates this changes greatly, this game demands an exceptional story not the lackluster one I got.
