I'd like to think that since this is the first game in what is supposed to be a continuing line, that maybe it'll be like that until the second, third, or maybe even forth installment. Then, when it all becomes clear, maybe it'll be like, "Whoa! Holy sh!t. That was an awesome build up to that. I had no idea that was what was happening. Mind blown. So satisfied."
Maybe it won't happen like that. Maybe it will be a total cop-out. But, I'm not making my mind up yet. I've got the patience to see it through. It's like watching the first few Lord of the Rings and you're like, "What, seriously? That's all we get?" But by the end of the last one it's like, "Man, that was one long story that took forever, but it ended nicely."
Though, we all (well most people who'd read the books) knew what was going to happen. It's still kinda the same concept. A good story can't be rushed to a conclusion. It needs a nice slow build up, and sometimes the confusion is worth it when the reveal happens.
Also, I kinda like that the story isn't set in stone. It let's me know that what I may be thinking is going to happen, could be all wrong. I don't like to know what happens in a movie before I watch it. I also don't like any story to be "spoiled" for me. Most people are disappointed when what they think it's going to happen doesn't happen. I like it. It's not my story. I'm not writing it. I enjoy the ride when that part that comes out of left field eventually takes me home in a long, winding path, especially if that "home" happens to be in another field all together.

Are we still talking about Destiny or did we jump to Game of Thrones?

Edited by NinjaMatic: 8/26/2016 2:19:06 AMI don't disagree with you there. I love a good, measured build up, with a surprising and satisfying climax. We are 100% in agreement. I think where we differ in our impressions of how successful they are with their build up so far. I'm not saying I want anything spoiled, I'm saying that there are things they could be building up that wouldn't spoil a thing but would add emotion and context to what is happening. Character development for one. That, coupled with all of the Grimwar would start to be a much richer experience. TTK offered a glimpse at what was possible. With a little character development people immediately felt more connected with Cayde-6 and Eris, and in return that made their grimwar cards more powerful because they had become somewhat more real. This game has a lot of places it could go. There is no doubt in my mind that they have enough material to mine to last 10 years. Hell, if they woke the traveller up next week that only creates more possibilities. I'm not saying they should, simply that speeding up the time line on that doesn't necessarily mean the game would end sooner. I'm all for a slow burn, but to me it feels like this fire is all but out. There's plenty of kindling, and firewood, Bungie just has to blow, and breath a little life back into the game. You've got to build up that bed of embers, one or two on their own will just go out.
