Does Destiny need a "campaign"? (Destiny)

It ain't shit compared to the Last of Us or Horizon Zero Dawn though.

Did you honestly expect or even hope it would be? Halo ain’t shit compared to either of those games either, in terms of story.

That doesn’t mean it’s not worth discussing, of course. The building blocks for a good story are there, but they didn’t have a payoff for anything, and just like with D2, it almost feels like they just ran out of time and threw something together, they just threw it together and made it actually coherent this time. I honestly can’t figure out why they even bothered to take our light if they didn’t actually do anything with the concept either thematically or literally. I can’t figure out why they even bothered bringing up mortality and sacrifice when they didn’t even hint at making a point about those concepts.

The campaign was a fun ride, but it wasn’t good storytelling.
