Triple. A. Title.
Edit #1- Wow I got a ton of feedback from posting this. Glad to see there are so many guardians out there still voicing their opinions. Also, on a side note, I just want to make it clear that I did not create this video.
Lets hope threads like this may change Bungie's strategies for story telling in the future. Although the concept of the Grimoire is a great ADDITION to a story, and unclear narratives can sometimes lead to community driven story telling, I cannot help but feel that the lack of a cohesive story in Destiny is a result of poor planning, budget cuts, or laziness on Bungie's side.
Thanks again for the feedback guardians, keep it coming, and keep your light safe.
Edit #2- Broke 900, soon to be 1000! Lets keep the conversation rolling. Also I would like to address one point.
This video does indeed use information presented in the Grimoire cards. However, the praise I am giving is directed at the way this narrative is PRESENTED by the creator of the video. I feel that the way this information was organized in the video is much more effective than any way it was presented by Bungie themselves. Time and effort was put into the creation of this video to make sure the player understood lore, actual events in game, as well as symbology related to the story that is told. This, in my opinion, seems like a much more caring way to present a narrative.

Edited by PrometheusFire08: 2/5/2015 5:10:16 PMits a shame that the majority of the community fail to understand that bungie created the lore and presented it in a fashion that would allow the community to gather round and create fan appreciation pieces the creator of this video is obviously fully aware of this information and has utilized it perfectly the person who made the thread just does not get it and has instead failed at understanding the point of the games lore

Somebody like this so I can come back to it
-
That was an incredibly boring wrap up of some of the grimoire. Not sure how that trumps anything

Edited by db0ssman: 2/5/2015 7:54:17 PMEverything he said came from the lore of flavor text and grimiore cards, but I can't help but wonder why this wasn't made to be more explicit in the game. All we get in the game is... hey these things are kinda bad, go kill them. Bravo to whoever made this, it was very very well put together.

THIS IS AMAZING
-
Thank you for sharing
-
Destiny needs stories like this
-
This is amazing! Destiny does have a story but it is only hinted at. This movie does a great job piecing together these "hints" into a narrative. I want to leave work early & go play Destiny right now!
-
That was really freaking cool
-
Why can't Bungie do something like this at the beginning of each "DLC"? It'd make the missions and the raid a lot more interesting having this framework presented to you in this format before you actually do them. Feel a lot more connected. Oh, Crota did all that shit? Better go stop them from summoning him. Those guys are the material embodiment of his being, lemme kick their asses then. Instead it's, "Go kill this Fist of Crota." "Ummm, okay." *kills fist of crota* "Alright, now let's see who we was. Shit, where'd I put my phone?"
-
Maybe if everybody didn't pre order games they wouldn't pull back content right before the release. As in they would be forced to put quality in it so ppl buy it
-
Love the vid. Hate the negativity you surround it with.
-
When does this game release? I want to play that one :D
-
WHOA WHOA WHOA THAT WAS EPIC!!
-
Commenting for later
-
Their move, they feature the guy.
-
Nice bit of work, but the title is completely misleading.
