I have issues with the story being stupid just like anyone, but this is like comparing Tetris to Mario and complaining it doesn't have any characters or bad guys.

I don't think that's true at all. A rich story and world was one of the advertised features of Destiny. If you count the Grimoire as part of the package, then sure, I guess maybe it technically delivered that. It pretty undeniably didn't deliver that in the actual game, though.

I think looking at how Horizon tackled telling it's story is a totally valid discussion that can be applied to Destiny. Sure, obviously using the Horizon writer's stated goals to evaluate Destiny isn't completely applicable, as those weren't the stated goals of Destiny's writers, but their goals were apparently fuck all, so we have to start somewhere.

Presenting and actual story that I give one iota about is at the top of my wishlist for Destiny 2, so discussing a game that did that very well is a totally valid comparison.
