The story [b]IS[/b] integrated into the game... maybe too well. Remember the first events when you start the game, you are revived by the ghost after being dead for who knows how long with no memory of the past or knowledge of the present. The story is immense and scattered through out the journey. This is a world that has been torn to shreds by catastrophe, common knowledge is something that was destroyed long ago. All we are given are bits of information through grimore cards, item descriptions, and personal discoveries along our journeys. I also felt that the story was lacking originally, but the more experience I have with Destiny the game as well as Destiny the community, I am beginning to believe that Bungie is onto something Epic. I hate to say it but it is looking like they may even have a genius or two in there midst. If the intention was to create a game with a true sense of community, then how better to build that than with speculation and open discussion. I feel this could be a story that just might stay interesting for the duration of the ten year project plan.

Exactly

Right, like we got halo 2 & 3 before we got reach.
