Game stories are weird (Destiny)

by Cody Miller , Music of the Spheres - Never Forgot, Friday, September 26, 2014, 07:56 (3951 days ago) @ Riceamike

Game stories have to facilitate fun play. Sometimes your game isn't fun, and it has to be reworked. So then does the story. It's something developers say they struggle with all the time, and I don't think anybody has the answer as to how best set up your story in the production pipeline to fit in with everything else the most smoothly, judging by all the articles written about that very topic in industry journals.

It's impossible to say whether Bungie's changes to the story were positive or negative without seeing both versions with respect to the game each enhanced.
