Yea, like a lot of it.

Mmmmm... :/ In game?

No, but you didn't specify. It is all in the palm of your hand. On the Internet. Like everything else.

Okay my bad on not specifying. But [i]not[/i] everything is on the internet for game lore. Halo is one example where all the relevant backstory is contained in the games.

Some of it is in game. The grave mind scene is great. The opening Covenant scene in H2 was awesome as well. For deep halo lore you gotta read books. Actual books with hundreds of pages. The destiny grimoire is so convenient and adds to the game significantly (if you have an imagination)

For DEEP lore yeah. But to understand what's happening each game provides enough to comprehend what's going on. And true, but I'm still mad about what happened to Destiny before release and how overhauled and butchered it became. Some anonymous AMAs with an employee confirmed that some of [b]Destiny's own devs[/b] are disgusted at how it turned out and what it was becoming.... Which really is kind of unfortunate.

I actually couldn't care less about the rewrites and what got cut. Literally every movie and show ever had extra scenes they had to cut. Or parts of the story that got rewritten. You know what's happening in destiny without reading up on it. You're woken up, ghost explains that humans collapsed and there was an invasion by evil forces, and now we gotta do what we can to prevent the darkness from winning. Halo was a game that told its story with cold hard facts. Destiny leaves a lot up for interpretation and speculation. It's not spoon fed to you. There's a ton of moral grey area everywhere you look. The books of sorrow themselves say that they were written by the hive and may not all be entirely true. Exactly like the bible.

All of that is very true. But what happened wasn't just a little snip here, ooh that doesn't fit, snip. It was like, "Okay we have like 10 factions and a whole civil war the traveler is evil sub plot, cut all of that down to 3 factions and the first act of the story. 6 hours of cutscenes? ....nah lets make that 30 minutes or so!" It was advertised as something that would take you to new worlds and meet people. Not: >Smidgen of exposition >kill enemies >kill enemies more >Hold interact button on a door >kill enemies x3 >Miniboss >door open >kill enemies on OTHER SIDE OF DOOR >ghost says a single sentence of story >kill a named boss >mission over Repeat for like 90% of the game. I came into it waiting for choices and exploitation of new areas and finding cool stuff with friends. What I got was a map the size of a battlefield map with respawning enemies and collectibles. [spoiler]Sorry if I come across as angry, I'm just upset at what the game turned out to be [b]for me[/b] no personal beef with you.[/spoiler]
