[i]Put the grimoire in-game... and so much of the frustration, confusion and anger would have been avoided. Or can be still?[/i]
I wish I knew the Grimoire had so much information in it earlier.. to leave the game or pull it up on a tablet is a disjointed experience and it did not make sense to me at first.. going elsewhere to get the story about the game I am playing.. alright..
But for me, I will put in the time reading and researching on another device, because I care to know about the efforts put into the story and world of Destiny.
[b]Sadly, many will never look at any Grimoire, only believing the shell of a story in-game is what Bungie has put forth.[/b]
[b]SOLUTION: To have a link between the in-game and the grimoire, a REAL link and not just a place I can go sign in separately to read the cards.. this could be a dashboard within the game, a type of menu, a vendor who can provide access to grimoire, even a link that takes you to the web-based information, but does it from within the game!!![/b]
Anything which will present to us the rewards of our time spent unearthing information, all while staying immersed in the world of Destiny.
No substantial in-game connection to the Grimoire lore is a gigantic mistake.. and going forward it will continue to be a mistake for each new player. If there is any way to resolve this, I do not know, I can only hope you have a way or solution in the works.
If not, as for me, I will continue to explore Grimoire outside of the game. I just hope others do not lose hope entirely..

So many games have put this type of information and story/lore into the game in some way. Halo CE 10yr had the terminals to add to the story. Assassin's Creed had a lot of cool stuff in the Animus to deliver key parts of the backstory and information that could add to the world. Borderlands has us pick up recordings so we can hear parts of the story from minor characters. Mass Effect, Skyrim, Fallout 3 and others tell the story through other devices, but they are in game as well. How cool would it have been to pick up a dead ghost and at the very least listen to what our ghost recovers from it's memory? I'm sure he could throw out a holographic projection of the recovered data as well. So why didn't Bungie do this? I've seen people defend the system as it is now, but I just don't understand it. A video game is an interactive audio/visual form of media. It is a different experience than TV and movies. We are actually allowed to enter a new immersive, interactive world. To outsource the best part of your story to something outside of the game just doesn't make sense.

I have a crazy suggestion how about the games story...IN the game then we dont need pokemon cards at all! I cant believe no one thought of that before, oh yeah they have in every story driven game for last 20 years!
-
I am of the mind that everything you need to know about the game whether it is story, or game machanics should be in the game. If you have to go to something outside of the game to learn the story or how the game works you screwed up.
-
Correction, the story in the grimorie should have been in the game. Not this no time to explain garbage.
-
Or the could just you know..overhaul the game...
-
Just let is read the grimoire in game after we complete one by sending the card to the post master. Post master is completely under utilized anyway
-
when the information of 404 is correct then the grimoire was a last second "patch" to the missing storyline and the obsolete voice acting bits for the original story.. maybe the storywriter had the rights on the roginal story or they couldnt didnt want to finish it the original way, or something else stupid occured.. either way.. the grimoire looks VERY estranged and like a "helppatch".. not like a solution..
-
Another bump, no thoughts good or bad on a real suggestion? The amount of cry and rage-posts is saddening..
-
bumping again, the amount of posts burying this is astounding..
-
Bump, moved thread to feedback section..
-
Agreed 100% Loved the Mass Effect Codex. I would get lost in there for hours and not even realize it because the information was right there...
-
I would have to agree here, It seems like 20% of Destiny actually exists on this website. I don't mind popping in once in awhile to check up on bonus levels and things, to see where I am missing out on Ghosts, etc. but when I am actually playing it is a pain in the ass. This doesn't affect my opinion about the game in any way, but it would be nice to have a connection between the two.
