1. The Plot Remaining Thin And Incomprehensible
Oh boy, if there's one thing about Destiny that's been both talked about and mocked the most, it's the story. As previously mentioned, Destiny's narrative was easily the biggest victim of the rewrites and Activision's DLC plans, as the game had to be made purposely vague so that players would buy the expansions to learn more about what's going on. Even with The Taken King being a great step in the right direction and easily comprehensible context and information being shown before a mission starts, not a lot of substance is present within the narrative itself. It makes the information more streamlined, but the depth of the story still doesn't hit as deep as fans hoped. The Taken King showed Destiny's potential in both plot and characters, and it also showed that there are still plenty of flaws at a foundational level that will continue to prevent it being 'the next great sci-fi franchise' that it was originally advertised to be. The worlds of Destiny have yet to be properly explored, and it may be a while before Bungie goes fully in-depth on what this universe has to offer, if they do at all. What DOES Destiny's universe have to offer you? "I could tell you, but I won't." Are you still playing Destiny? What's kept you playing? If not, what stopped you? Let us know in the comments!
