Maybe this is why Bungie hates story-telling now? (Destiny)

I thought ODST was fantastic from a story perspective.

I think ODST nails the aspect of having interesting believable characters, but is lacking in the plot department. It's more fun to watch interesting people do nothing than it is to watch boring people do something.

IMO, the plot in ODST was in the audio diaries. Which were in the game (with their production outsourced to Fourth Wall Studios).
