Well... to be honest after having played WoW for quite some time as well as Diablo (1-3), Destiny is a bit of the same... Now, the same isn't bad because of the way it's been packaged. Destiny is STILL in its infancy; Bungie having already expressed dedication to creating more content. What's not surprising is how a game like Destiny has received negative feedback for lacking content or much of a story. In reality, if they intend (with all honesty intentions retain) on creating an epic game it's difficult to tell the whole story in what is essentially the first chapter. That said, it's difficult to tell at this stage... still quite early.
Edit: That said, yes... am still having fun. The stage has been set, some of the major players have been introduced. Now all that's left is to see where they (Bungie) intend to take their game. I'm hoping it goes quite far. What surprises me is how well received Halo was, recalling that it was initially all about a Space Marine single handedly saving humanity from some big funny looking blue dudes that sometimes shot pink.

At all. Whatsoever. If I turned this into a publisher and said this was the first chapter, I would be laughed at and probably fired.

Edited by psdissonance: 11/9/2014 5:32:22 PMI suppose then that'd be the difference between a company/developer like Bungie submitting a 'first chapter' or introduction vs. yourself or an indie dev. Other games have gotten away with worse, including indie games. It's not excusable just because it's Bungie, with that in mind, they still have my attention. Edit: If they did indeed lose much of their initial lore because of a writer taking much of his intellectual property with him it's no surprise the game is fairly barebones.
