Why Bungie gets visual storytelling wrong (Destiny)

Yes, far too much of Destiny happened in the past. Yes, far too little is conveyed during the present. But throwing out an answer just because it happened in the past makes no sense. As far as we know, the Big Bang and Earth's formation (among other things) happened in Destiny's past. Is all of that also "Yay backstory!" ?

I think that was part of Cody's original point. There is stuff there to savor, but Bungie failed to deliver it in a way it works. Now, it works for you and me because we were extremely invested in it from well before we even got the chance to play the game, but that's not very fair to Cody's argument.
