No that has never happened before, because all they other games I have played actually have a story, this one does not. Your obviously satisfied with 8 cut scenes that don't even flirt with the idea of explaining what is happening, but I don't. I don't know why your standards for what this game should be are so low, but for me it does not live up to the promise and hype Bungie gave it. Just look around these forums, the future of this franchise and their credibility hinges on how they handle the negative reviews and comments. You love this game, at the moment I debating whether to wait for the dlc (free or otherwise) or sell it. In the end the sales for Destiny 2 (if it even gets made), will prove who is right here, but at the moment you have to admit it doesn't look good.
