Allright Bungie, someone trumped your entire game's presentation of plot, narrative, and 500 million dollar budget using only Windows Movie Maker. Your move.
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.

Some nobody kid came up with this video with no budget in a basic program that trumps every Destiny presentation Bungie has conducted since E3. As "experienced" and as "great" as Bungie would have us believe they are, and yet they still can't outdo this guy with their millions of dollars worth of resources. Granted, the narrator sounded like a robot throughout the entirety of the video, but that's simply a lack of experience with narration. The video itself was excellent, and was a better comprehensive narrative than anything currently presented in Destiny. Kudos to the creator of the vid. Bungie should be ashamed of themselves, and should wholeheartedly regret letting Joe Statten go.
