I dunno. I love Destiny and its approach to lore. If you really dive into it, there are some amazing stories that tie together to give the game this grand sense of history. I agree the way it was implemented wasn't the best, but the stories that are there are fantastic.

I'd highly recommend looking up the story of The Ishtar Collective. A group of scientists who first encountered the Vex, and found themselves stuck inside a perfect simulation. Really interesting read.
