13 Biggest WTF Video Game Moments Since 2010

10. Destiny's Incomprehensible Story

Destiny's story isn't good. It's passable, sure, but not in this world or the next does it even come close to meeting the level of quality you'd expect for a game that reportedly guzzled up $500 million of Activision's cash to make it out the door.

It all started so well, too. You, a long-dead Guardian resurrected by the Peter, er, Nolan North-voiced Ghost companion are put to work on helping humanity claw back its world from The Darkness and its worshippers one firefight at a time. Along the way, you meet interesting characters, new foes and learn more and more about Earth's enigmatic protector - The Traveler. Then it all fell apart.

Seemingly plot-integral characters would up and vanish, additional sub-plots would write themselves into the story at a moment's notice and the galaxy-spanning threat of the Darkness itself seemed to be one that everyone but you, dazed and confused by this point, had all but forgotten about.

Let's try to keep a little more focus for Destiny 2, eh, Bungie?
