Alternate Opinion (Destiny)

Sure. And I agree. I want it in game more than anything!

I actually prefer the way it is.

When I'm playing a game, I want to play, not listen to someone talk or watch a long movie.

When I want to experience a good science fiction story, more often than not I'm looking to read.

To me, Destiny strikes a perfect balance between its loose narrative and gameplay. The focus is on the fun, but there's just enough story to get me interested in more, along with the tidbits of lore that drop along the way.

And I gotta say, the lore is really, really good short science fiction. I read a lot of "years best" anthologies, and a lot of the lore books would fit right in, even without any context. It's hard for me to imagine change in format would result in an improvement in quality.
