We have all read it, watched it, played it and even went to the second page of google to find why the story of Destiny is flat like this. This is Bungie people! Do you seriously think the developers of the great game Halo went and created this piece of crap?!? Even if Activision wanted to cut the content and the developers went for it, I think their motives might gives us the greatest story ever. As you know, you appear on the middle of this game with no answers, you are not even given an explanation. As you go through the game you get fed these lines: "The Hive was communicating with their King, or maybe their god". This is not explained further in the game, the only "god" you fight is in the black garden but its the VEX'S god. This got me thinking, then destiny went along and released the news about an upcoming DLC called The Dark Below in which, yes you guessed it, you fight their revived god/king Crota. I know I know, you probably feel betrayed that this was cut and made into a DLC even if they made a whole mission about the Hive communicating with him. But then I thought to myself "What if the story is so vague so we would have to adventure for it?". Now I know you are probably clicking away to a raid post but think about it. Destiny gave us a little piece of info about an upcoming DLC, this gave me more questions. I started to feel excited because even though I would have to pay for that DLC I would have a whole adventure about it, not a spoon fed flat single story mission for it. Then I went through the rest of the missions and I realized, EVERY SINGLE QUESTION THE GAME GIVES COULD BE A NEW ADVENTURE. Imagine, you wonder why we were revived? Well hop on on this amazing adventure about the guardian's origins and why were we revived. Is it just me or I feel an awesome back story coming up? Destiny's first game gave us a flat story with almost no answers, because the battle is still out there. They want us to fight for the knowledge, have whole adventures to discover the missing gaps. Would you rather a slow sad cutscene of the speaker explaining everything or another huge battle against a GOD!?!?
Maybe Destiny left us with a flat story at first and they have no excuse for that, but with each DLC they at least bring us a whole new adventure to explore the universe they have created. They should bring more content yes, but now to me the story opens new doors to future DLCs! Maybe a story arc? Maybe a Trilogy? Maybe a giant full blown war in the Cryptarch's house to wage revenge against him for giving me a fudging blue engram when I gave him a PURPLE ONE?!?!?!?!
Think about it, a great new adventure is out there. You want the answers? Fight for them.

We cut off the Hive from Crota when we destroy their giant death star sewing machine shrine. We kill his herald or avatar, the giant knight. The Dark Below is the repercussions.
