Do or die? (Destiny)

And to further support you, and also completely destroy that notion of his that someone wouldn't completely write off a company based on just one game, I'd like to point out that I (and many others I know) wrote off 343 over Halo 4 alone. I only got my hands on Master Chief Collection because it was largely rehashed Bungie Halo games, and I didn't pay anything close to full price. There are no future 343 games for purchase in my future, and MCC's failure didn't decide that one.

That's a good point. Instead of looking forward to Halo 5, I currently have it as a "buy someday" type purchase entirely because 343 so badly screwed up the Didact in Halo 4. But to me that was more of an active screw up, where Destiny does have good writing talent associated with the project (like you said below, the Grimoire is really really good!) and does have a long history of telling good stories within FPS games.

As for Destiny's narrative and your overall point of writing them off (and disregarding the fact that you're replying to someone with an outright grudge against all the things you say at all times ever), I don't think it's fair to view Bungie's storytelling abilities as a failure if Comet doesn't turn it around.

The question then becomes, would you be willing to give them that shot? The question after that would be, what if Destiny 2 brings the story in all of its glory, living up to or surpassing all of what you could have hoped for? And then, would it still be disregarded or abandoned by you, or would you potentially love it and run with it into the remainder of Bungie's 10 year plan (or whatever it is now)?

Indeed. That's basically what I was asking as well.

P.S. Drop the insults. They are completely uncalled for. Thanks. :)
