With the Highs, come the Lows. (Destiny)

TBH I was shocked at how good the first couple of cutscenes were with the stranger and then the queen at the rift were. It was like I was playing a completely different game all of a sudden. Those cutscenes had characters with personalities, they displayed humor, the animation was excellent right down to the subtle facial expressions, the voice acting was top notch as well. I suddenly gave a damn about what was happening in the game.

Which left me thinking, why the fuck did I have to plod through 10 hours of bland nonsense to get to this? I haven't finished the game yet but evidently that's a letdown too.

So we know Bungie didn't suddenly forget how to make games, but evidently they felt they only needed to include about 10 minutes of actual storytelling and plot development.
