I like reading texts in videogames that expand on ideas you've seen and offer background to help build out the worlds in your head.
I understand most people don't have the patience to do so, but I think it's perfectly acceptable to have backstory present in text form, especially if it's about events that took place well prior to the start of the game.
Also, where in the game is there room for cutscenes that show things like the expeditions of guardians before you, the origins of weapons like thorn and TLW, and the events that happened with the birth of the vex thousands of years ago?

The lead writer left bungie a year before its release because activision and/or bungie screwed him over. They brought someone in to write the grimiore cards. .all of this would've been in the game.

In the game.

Where? What would trigger them? Getting a Grimoire card? Would they be cutscenes attached to missions? Cutscenes showing backstory wouldn't fit organically with flying down to do to a mission and would introduce even more breaks into the action. I just don't how they could realistically integrate that stuff into the game without interrupting the flow or boring the audience with endless voice-over. Maybe as video recordings from lost Ghosts? But that still begs the question of how you access them and when. The game does need more story, but I'm more interested in events that are actively happening being fleshed out through gameplay events. The stuff in the Grimoire cards is all history, and so it makes sense to have access to it in the game as text. It's just unfortunate that what does happen doesn't seem to matter much while you play the game, for lack of detail given while playing and in the few cutscenes the game does have.

I'd be pretty pissed too, if someone screwed up a story I'd been working for four years. Have it cut and ripped from a game to the point where nothing makes sense and you have try and piece it togther through stupid grimoire cards.. That also isnt in the game.
