I don't understand how long someone worked there mattered. Eric Nyulan was given less time to write Fall of Reach and it was amazing. The information was all made beforehand and someone just came in and wrote that information into cards. And a damn good writer too. Writing skill has nothing to do with length of time.

  • They weren't planned. That's my point. Or they were pushed to the side and forgotten about until late.

  • That doesn't make them bad. How do you know that the format of cards just hadn't been chosen. Clearly all the information was made and just the format to present it to everyone was chosen. And even then it would have been decided before that and then they had to find a skilled writer for the job.

  • Still doesn't exist in game. I shouldn't have to read the story. It should be presented to me

  • You do realize that all the story is in the game, right? The non-impacting information of the Destiny universe is what's in the cards. I don't understand how people don't get this. What do you want a cutscenes in which the Speaker sits you down for a lecture on the social structure and name of all the enemies as you slowly meet them? In what other game is all the information in the game?

  • You just told me above to read the grim cards for the story then said all the story is in game. Get your argument together and coherent then we can have a discussion.

  • You want the full depth and reason behind every mission and strike then read the cards for the richest of stories but the story is in the game still, just skipping over the details the Bungie learned while making Halo that most fans couldn't give a shit about.

  • Game still doesn't have a good or coherent story. We are not going to agree though. You think the story is good enough while I like many others find it incomplete with bad writing and lack of cohesion

  • No we aren't going to agree. I thought the story was fine. I am eager for more and hoping for a book to delve deeper into the universe. I don't think you can say though that many people aren't satisfied with the story as well. Those that are unhappy are always the most vocal, that's why so much of the forum recently is people bitching about the DLC because they didn't buy it. There are plenty of people that are happy with the game, are still playing it like crazy, but avoid the forums. I personally avoid the Halo forums despite how much I love the series because of some of the people on them. I just feel a need to defend that there is a story. Maybe you don't think it's good enough or it was too open ended, but the story is there.
