I think the telling interview that no one can deny is " We want Destiny to be compared to Star Wars, Harry Potter and Lord of the rings. We want our game to be on the same shelf as them story's. " I have paraphrased a little but that's what was said. Does Destiny compare to Fellowship or A New Hope? Sadly no. It doesn't even come close to the awful Phantom Menace. Bungie promised a lot, but didn't bring it. The start of any story is meant to grab you, pull you in and make you want to know more. Destiny doesn't do that, it doesn't have time and it wants to explain later. Sorry but every game should be able to stand up on its own merits. Destiny just doesn't, which is a huge shame.
