Allright Bungie, someone trumped your entire game's presentation of plot, narrative, and 500 million dollar budget using only Windows Movie Maker. Your move.
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.

Info like this would make everything feel much more significant and meaningful. Really wish this was in the game. Bravo to the creator. Very well done.
-
Sad Bungie doesn't weave the story into the gameplay. Fighting and defeating Crota would feel way more meaningful.

Thanks for this. Awesome post.
-
Very nice. Kudos to the creator.
-
not hard to do when there is no story.....but good video props to that though

So this guy created something that blew away the piddly amount of story that Bungie gave us, in 15 minutes and with a budget of nothing but his own computer. Everyone at Bungie should be ashamed of what they haven't done with this game. THIS WAS AWESOME!!
-
THAT WAS AMAZING
-
Make sure a contract is negotiated lol
-
They need to hire this guy
-
Awesome

This was -blam!-ing awesome! -blam!-! -blam!-! -blam!-!

Wow. Good stuff. Thanks for sharing this. Maybe he's a film school student, but maybe he should be hired by Bungie to help implement a better story line... Anyway very nice.

You realize that TerraMantis has been doing this since Dks. Thus why he is even doing a video on this. I, for one, am glad that you have to dig deep to get the story because it gives people to make amazing videos like this

*slow clap*

hope this guy makes more stuff about Destiny story

What we expect from our AAA class games

I love these fan made lore videos. I will never read the stupid Grimoire cards. But I have made a playlist of many of the fan made lore/grimoire videos. Thanks for posting this one I have added it to my play list for watching again in the future. It would be cool if Bungie payed the creators of all these awesome fan made lore videos and made it so you could watch them in game. Maybe have a NPC or terminal you could interact with at the bar in the tower. Then the lore would be in game.

Screw highlighting gamers who are organizing 'trick tournaments'...give this guy credit Deej.

Impressive. Most impressive.

Hire this guy he can tell a story. He gave us more story then the game actually gave us. Lol

1 ReplyEdited by DC_Rich: 2/5/2015 11:34:18 PMOk, wow. That was awesome! The createor(s) of this video certainly prove that Bungie has no idea what they are doing when it comes to story telling, and need to be taken to task for their failures. Like I always say, the gameplay is fantastic, but everything else is garbage in Destiny. I still play it because it has imho, the best gun-play of any FPS. It just feels perfect. We were promised an amazing game with a deep story, but we were instead given a mediocre experience rampant with repetition and no narrative. Stories like this should have been part of the game, and not stashed away in a Grimoire that was inaccessible in the game itself. The lead designer is nothing short of lazy; riding the waves of a "successful" game, with little to no care to actually fix what is broken.

wow, nice video
