What happened with Destiny launch? (Destiny)

People in the podcast are just so happy that they are getting even the scraps of a story. There is stuff in the next expansion that they expected to see in the release and it is pretty minimal stuff like: there are 'real' characters, and they interact with each other, and there is a story, and maybe some stuff will be explained a little.

I often catch myself thinking the same thing. Can you imagine walking up to a gamer who is not a Destiny fan and saying "Isn't this great news?! Characters will actually say something to each other now!"?

On the one hand, it is a bit silly that we get so excited by features that are generally considered the absolute bare minimum in other games... but I think it is natural and understandable. If nothing else, it looks like The Taken King will be making many steps in the right direction. Even if many feel that some elements of Destiny are currently at an unusually low bar, what we're hearing and seeing of TTK shows a genuine and substantial effort to improve those weak points. I think that is what many of us are truly excited about.
