Sorry but I can see this as the only way for Bungie to save this game. We have all paid for what most have come to think of as a Beta of what we thought and were promised. We are then meant to sit around and wait for a Dlc which cost about he same as the game itself. That's meant to make people happy? Now I don't care if you are a Ps fan boy or and Xbox gamer (joke), none of us deserve to have to fork out more money for a full game. So due to this I think we should get a free DLC from Bungie with an apology for selling us a Beta not the full game. This free DLC/patch should redo the story, making it worthy of the people that brought us Halo. Proper cut scenes that tell a true story, maybe even a twist in there. The Awoken queen recognising your race and responding to you appropriately, not just calling you "it". None of that "I'll explain later" rubbish, a real story that gets to your soul. Bungie owe it to themselves to grip us with a real first episode, to a game that is meant to be around for 10 years.
If you agree please comment so Bungie/Activison [u]might[/u] take notice.
[b]Just to make this clear, I am asking for the story to be fixed. Not multi player maps, guns or anything that shouldn't be in the game we all bought. The story that was cut and we all saw was in the game before the cuts. That can only come as a free DLC or patch, if that's a better word for people. However it has to fix the nonsensical story, that is not what is advertised on the back of the case. Please read the case, "[u]rich cinematic story telling[/u]". That is what we thought we had bought, that is what we should have. Hope that makes things clear for some that think anyone that agrees wants some kind of hand out. As we don't, we just want what we paid for. A story driven game, not a watered down version of what was touted.[/b]
I do have theory why the story is so bad and nondescript. My theory is that it was written by deej. You know the guy that gives nondescript answers to every question? That's all I can think of as to why the story is so bad, it's deej's fault. As it can't be Bungie can it? They brought us the original Halo and the emotional Halo Reach, remember the end of that? Truly an amazing ending, Bungie did that. They couldn't of written this Destiny tripe. Seriously watch this....

This is more gripping than the whole of destiny.[b][u] So basically Bungie advertised a roast dinner with all the trimmings and gave us a pot noodle instead.[/u][/b]

I personally love the part where he talks about Destiny not being a MMO, it's more of story driven.
Edit - changed title as even though I explain what I was asking for, some seem to be confused.

Edited by Kemmin: 10/5/2014 4:11:37 PMSigned. This is a summary of what I feel a lot of the community has been experiencing. Feel free to add your own thoughts below. It doesn't matter what genre (or mashup) of game they are trying to build, and what kind of community they are trying to foster. The fact remains that in a post Mass Effect gaming community, a fleshed out story with dynamic, compelling characters, and an actual reason for shooting 10 000 bad guys is an expected norm from a AAA title. I realize we have all been asked for patience, and reminded that that which was released is a base on which the future of the game will be built. The thing is, is that the base of a game on which you plan to build a long lasting franchise needs to have more cohesion, and ultimately, a purpose to it. The cryptic way of piece wise storytelling used here might pique consumer interest pre-game, but people buy your game because they want answers to the questions you posed, not more questions with no answers to the original questions. Do I think destiny is fun? Yes. Have I recommended it to "on the fence friends"? Yes, although mainly because of the lacking social system. Is there incentive for me to stick around for this purported "10 year plan"? At the moment, not at all. And especially not if I have to pay 20 dollars more for each installment of story that will only bring up more questions. Bungie what you have built is a few steps from being something incredible, an we as a community say thank you for that. But making your community pay more for something a game should have been in the first place is unacceptable. We don't care what kind of story you are going to tell us, we're open. Just make sure you tell it well, and give us a (non-cryptic) reason to keep listening. Thanks, Kemmin
