Triple. A. Title.
Edit #1- Wow I got a ton of feedback from posting this. Glad to see there are so many guardians out there still voicing their opinions. Also, on a side note, I just want to make it clear that I did not create this video.
Lets hope threads like this may change Bungie's strategies for story telling in the future. Although the concept of the Grimoire is a great ADDITION to a story, and unclear narratives can sometimes lead to community driven story telling, I cannot help but feel that the lack of a cohesive story in Destiny is a result of poor planning, budget cuts, or laziness on Bungie's side.
Thanks again for the feedback guardians, keep it coming, and keep your light safe.
Edit #2- Broke 900, soon to be 1000! Lets keep the conversation rolling. Also I would like to address one point.
This video does indeed use information presented in the Grimoire cards. However, the praise I am giving is directed at the way this narrative is PRESENTED by the creator of the video. I feel that the way this information was organized in the video is much more effective than any way it was presented by Bungie themselves. Time and effort was put into the creation of this video to make sure the player understood lore, actual events in game, as well as symbology related to the story that is told. This, in my opinion, seems like a much more caring way to present a narrative.

All it was is a lore video, custom-built, covering the game's lore..

That was so brilliant.

Wow that was awesome. Wonder where he got those images of Eris in voidfangs and praxic Fire. Awesome vid no matter what.

[quote]Your Move[/quote] Really... They don't have to do anything. They're fully capable of presenting a story, but have done so in this fashion as to extend its longevity. Giving bits and pieces along the way. I should note that I am in no way in support of this strategy, but they are under a contract and are under pressure to reach specific goals. Plus, they have our money for now. They know exactly what needs to be done without you on your high horse stating "Your Move". Also a shame he called the Knights "Boomers" which kind of detracted of the seriousness of it.

Funny thing is bungie already promoted this on Facebook…

Actually, I'm sure TerraMantiis uses Sony Vegas Pro. Don't downgrade one of my favorite youtubers please. I've been watching him since the first video.

While I fundamentally disagree with your title, how epic would it have been to see a cutscene of the Order of Praxic warlocks gathering thousands of guardians to retake the moon? Even if Crota basically slaughters everyone. Or even an intro cutscene to introduce Eris arriving at the tower. According to the grimoire, Zavod, the Speaker, and others, are extremely concerned with her dark obsession with the hive. Bungie really missed an opportunity to have some sort of confrontation at her arrival. Even dialogue alone would have fleshed these characters out, and given them context other than stationary vendors.

Buummmpp

Awesome vid dude.
-
OH MY GOD !!! That was beautiful. I wish Bungie put the time into showing something like this in stead of putting their lore on cards that most don't want to spend the time to read.

bump.

Awesome. I'd love to see the Vault of Glass get the same treatment, some good lore resides within.
