Destiny is Not Canon (Destiny)

How does this happen? How do you create a compelling world and backstory, then completely have no idea at all how to tell a compelling narrative in it?

Shit Bungie. Destiny is fun as hell (up to level 20 anyway, we'll see how it plays out to 30), but man you guys absolutely suck at creating a narrative. I don't mean to be rude, but it was really not a good showing in the story department, and you guys have consistently failed at this since Halo 3.

We can discuss this here after everybody has finished and spoilers are allowed.
