Agree so hard (Destiny)

It's pretty obvious to me it's a bridge narrative to Halo 6.

Oh, totally. It reminds me of "Empire Strikes Back" in a few ways. I thought the story worked just fine within the context of a videogame. I got to go to amazing locations and fight a bunch of bad guys, and I always knew why I was doing what I was doing. But I also understand why some people would say the story doesn't hold up on its own terms.

I actually think the writing stands up to the best of the series, without the almost predictable clunker lines present in most entries--"To War," "Were it so easy," "TWSS." At least nothing jumped out at me in one playthrough.

I do have a joke, though, about Halsey telling a Knock Knock joke.

Knock, Knock

Who's there?

It took you long enough.

While my party of 4 was having a great time Tuesday laughing about whatever we could fine, there was nothing nearly as cringe worthy as those clunkers you speak of.

I'm actually much more interested in playing through this game multiple times, re-inspecting each data pad and exploring spaces that felt much more like "places" rather than corridors. The narrative was interesting to me, making me think about loyalties to king, country, and each other.
