It's a live game with strong MMO-leanings. (Destiny)

I guess we’ll just have to disagree.

I am judging Destiny in its own merits. Story-wise it barely has any, and for me, a lot of that has to do with the fact that the story focuses on a single Guardian as the only one that can instigate change, when we actually know there are millions of us out there doing the same exact thing. I wish they would do more stuff like this, and start shaping the story around the fact that we’re a huge community of Guardians, rather than making stories where apparently only a single Guardian matters at all.

Perhaps the compromise is having more NPC guardians who are bigger characters and drive more of the story, while focusing on smaller groups of player guardians; AKA your group of friends. Look at how much NPCs drove story points in Halo. That could happen in Destiny as well.

I guess what I am saying is it should have been an RPG with a focus on co-op.
