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.

Wait so this guy made the equivalent of cut scenes that are in most games. Which eveyone hates to watch in pve and your clamoring to bungie saying they failed at sometime no one wants to see but once.

This is awesome.

Awesome video, as for OP and anyone else, this is all in game, if you cannot read, listen or play it is not Bungie's fault but your own.
-
This guy did a fantastic job. He used the grimiore cards and put it all into a nice informative clip. Bungie should fire someone and hire this guy to replace them.

At least now I know what the -blam!- I was doing in the DLC
-
-
Wow I actually know what the hell this game is about now. Read grimoire cards? Yea that won't happen. Great video, that was awesome.
-
Is that what we've been working on this entire time?
-
Really well put together. Makes the lore of Destiny shine.
-
Wow good job mate. Loved it.

1 ReplyWhoever did this, nicely done!!!! And I agree with all of you that Bungie should have incorporated these story elements into the final game and not listened to Activision and just release the hacked up mess that is Destiny now. That is, assuming what we all heard is true, that the lead developer left before the final version was completed, what we heard was he left in disgust with the path the game was taken, and then Activision decided to cut the game up and release it with DLC's already completed. And for what, $$$$$$$$!!! I still love and play the game everyday, but it could have been sooooo much more. Cheers

This was awesome. I actually understand what we are fighting for now and the purpose of crota, instead of just fighting random aliens. Love the game, shitty story tho, until now, because that was the best story line of destiny I've ever seen. Awesome crota summary. Good job dude.

Edited by tre11style: 2/5/2015 6:44:30 PMI've literally watched this Video alone 4x (no lie)... it's so good. The story and lore is there and is soo good, WHY Bungie... WHYYYYYYYYY? Why did you hide all this away for us to have to piece together like finding a pirates lost treasure? EPIC FAIL Bungie at not doing something like this. This enables me to bond with the people I see in the tower and identify with them. This lets me know what, and why i'm doing the things i'm doing. Gives me a purpose to want to know more... other than, Here Run this bounty... and kill this Boss. It keeps me interested in the GAME. Please take NOTE Bungie... give us a STory we can Watch and Live.

17 RepliesEdited by SlipStrikeX: 2/5/2015 4:14:35 PMI definitely don't disagree that destiny needed better story telling. I also understand you're trying to make a point by using exaggerations, but come on. Don't pretend like destiny paid that whole amount of money to a whole herd of story writers and that's what they came up with. -off topic- that's why I take a problem with people whining about fixing bugs too. Its not like the entire bungie staff is developers that they can throw at 1 problem and get it solved in an hour. Obviously their money (and attention) was focused in different areas, and thus the money was allocated accordingly. Heck, there was even a good precedent for them to believe people wouldn't care so much about story. Look at all the other big name games (CoD, titanfall, halo, battlefield), their stories are almost non existent as well with campaigns that can be beaten in less than 10 hours. The bread and butter is the multiplayer and gameplay in general. That's where people play the most. Honestly, they almost had every right to believe that their fan base didn't care so much about story. Albeit they might have lost that bet, but it certainly seems to me like it wasn't without reason.
