See you Cowgirl,
Someday, somewhere
Okay so I've watched Destiny's story and here's my opinion on it.

It is absolute shit. The campaign is long, but that's because you revisit so many areas. There are hardly any cinematics which are good for character development, but wait, what characters? In Destiny you play as a nameless Guardian with about 3 lines of dialogue and an A.I companion with less personality than a brick. From what I can tell the Ghost has no real purpose other than explaining everything through its endless dialogue. But what about secondary character? Well there's The Speaker, he has about 5 minutes of screen time in the entire game. There's the mysterious Hunter, who isn't even fleshed out, then there's..um....yeah...

The entire campaign is basically A New Hope
>Special Guardian aquires power
>Travel across the stars fighting evil
>Blow up huge structure
>Attend a reward ceremony
>The End

How can a game that has been in development for 5+ years have such a lackluster and short campaign?
For those that have finished the Campaign or are currently going through it tell me your thought on it.

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.
A New Hope actually had developed characters though...

Also, link?

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
Destiny has a story?

It would appear to barely have dialogue too.

So much monotone and no emotion.

Plot twist: All those robots you see throughout the game with monotone voices are actually Skynet waiting to make it's move.

And the Vex are the main baddies, who'd have known?

The intro to Reach had more story, and I'm being serious.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.
wat? I thought it was going to be a story driven game, that's what bungie made it out to be. That's quite disappointing, the past couple months I've become more in interested story driven video games and the small piece we got in the beta was enticing, I wanted to know more about the world, what happened, why, and what happens now but I guess not......

going to wait for a price drop before i pick it up

Don't worry, story DLC's will be released for $59.99 throughout the year. Defeating the evil was just the beginning, now there is a newer evil who is bigger and eviler than the last one!
Good luck Guardians!

Don't forget to pre-purchase the DLC for $69.99, allowing you to dowload the DLC 30 minutes early!

Three days later, and I can still not connect to the servers.

I'd like to say it's not even worth playing, but it's all opinion.

Well, I kinda spent $500 on an Xbox One, and then $60 on Destiny so I could play it with Vien. Even if the game was not amazing, I would still have fun with him. I was going to buy and Xbox One anyway for the MCC though.

I can't wait for MCC, The Division, DA3, Battleborn, and to play WarFrame.

I just watched all of Destiny's cutscenes (all 32 minutes of it), and dear god was the writing and dialogue cringeworthy.

The player character came off as oblivious to whatever situation they were in, the ghost just seemed bored, that exo hunter just stood around and I've seen anime characters with less angst than that Awoken guy. The plot itself just seem like someone copy and pasted the outline for A New Hope.

I just hope Ubi pulls through with that game and doesn't make a boring typical open world shooter... and mess up the online. And hold the phone, You cant tell me what to do.

Well apparently the story isn't over yet. Looks like they're going to be releasing more free story missions in addition to the two expansions.

Again, there was a story to begin with?

I still have no idea why the Vex are the supreme bad guys of the four, what the hell this Darkness is, or why the hell a bunch of other shit happens.
