Destiny 2 Is Ending Just As Its Story Started To Get Good

Veja o que foi divulgado recentemente. While Destiny 2 had a momentous finale for its Light and Darkness Saga in The Final Shape, which offered a clean opportunity to end its story there, the game’s development team at Bungie were narratively on a roll.

Importante mencionar que The expansions that followed that quasi-climactic release, The Edge of Fate and Renegades, were meant to kickstart a second Fate Saga for the game. However, mechanical choices, particularly around attempts to more easily onboard new and returning players, not only failed to do so, they soured the experience for a lot of player Guardians who never left.  Aside from its issues, though, Destiny 2’s story has never been better, and it will be a real shame, if this truly is the end of the franchise, that we'll never see that narrative play out. For those who don’t know, the fate of Destiny was changed at the 11th hour before the original game’s release.

Joseph Staten, who helped write the original Halo trilogy, was the initial lead writer for the first Destiny game. However, mere months before that title’s launch, much of Staten’s narrative was scrapped as it was deemed too dense and linear for the flexible and open design of the game. Staten left to join Xbox, and Destiny launched to reviews that heavily critiqued the game’s story, or lack thereof. As one developer at Bungie put it , Destiny was “a game written without writers.” Concepts like the Light and Darkness were in place, but no one on the team actually knew what they were.
