Back in Destiny terms, I’m not saying their couldn’t or shouldn’t have been more and better impact shown, I’m just saying that CoO is our first big chance for change. And that it isn’t right to completely overlook some of the smaller changes that we did see.

People have been making this argument since Destiny launched back in 2014: give it time. The next things will make the story better, etc.

That's a horrible argument. The story you get with each release should be satisfying on its own! Would you watch a TV show if episodes 1-9 were bad, and then be told that it's all worth it for 10? No. You'd watch a show that knows how to make each episode rewarding, yet the sum greater than the parts.

Nobody should have to look to the 'next' thing in order to get catharsis from the story. Des2ny's story was at least functional in a minimal way (enough to be 'canon'), but a far cry from being 'good'.
