The recent Gamescom event over in Cologne has got me really excited for the games that are upcoming in the next six months or so.
It looks like the current gen consoles are finally going to become worthwhile having.

Also worth giving a congratulations to Sony for selling over 10 million PS4s since the launch last November. That's roughly 9 months, putting the PS4 sales at a similar rate to that of the original Wii console. Impressive stuff.

Are people really surprised that the story in Destiny is ? Bungi have never been great at storytelling. Halo is a good concept but handled very poorly IMO.

I wouldn't put too much emphasis on the story in Destiny tbh. It's poor.
Like I said in a previous post, the game comes alive once you hit level 20 and can begin to attempt the more difficult missions, strikes and the raid. It's all about finding loot, earning currency and reputation to buy better gear, and if you're really lucky you might stumble across some exotic items.

Bungie have apparently officially denied that the dlc is already finished and on the disc. I'm not sure I believe them 100%, but I can't really have too many complaints because I've already got my money's worth from the game and then some. And I'm still having bags of fun playing it.

Only my personal opinion though of course, others might not be enjoying it quite so much.

They're hardly going to come out and say 'you know what, we're sorry, but the DLC is there already and Activision made us put it behind a (what is effectively) pay-wall'. As has been said though, this is not new, Resident Evil 5, a game released 5 years ago had the multiplayer mode on the disc but locked off, pending extra payment.

There's posts on the Destiny forum, apparently from a Bungie employee who worked on the game saying that the story was massively scaled back because of people from up high in Activision saying that it was too complicated. Apparently they cut so much that it left the mess that we have now with a lot of it not really making sense. The guy who was in charge of the story apparently left quite late in the development
