Yup... (Destiny)

...pretty much this. I'll also add to it by pointing out the difference between video/audio and printed text. With the terminals, I wanted to be able to watch the cutscenes as I found them, right there, without having to leave the game to do so. With the Grimoire, the story is in prose in these little snippets and tidbits that, for me, make more sense to read on my own time later. I actually like that they're not interrupting my play session. I get the notice that I've unlocked another card (file away for future reference), I keep on exploring, and I come back to read more about this expansive universe later when I'm not squashing Fallen. That's kind of what I meant by 'format.'

Also, on a side note, Bungie's made it really easy to access the Grimoire; it's a top-level nav item. 343i made it way more difficult to find the terminal vids than they needed.
