This game looks cool, we should try it together sometime.

Actually played a bit the other day. Logged in and saw two dudes trying to Open the doors to VoG, decided to hold down the third plate for them. Then others joined in. Then suddenly we had a full raid team, we got invited and ran VoG off the cuff. It was the most funny I’ve had with the franchise in a long time.

The nostalgia blast when the title screen music kicked in!

This game hits so different. The armor designs, the music, the story campaigns… i honestly wish I could go back and experience it again.

I just love how d1 looks. It has a more serious tone, especially in colors. D2 feels very colorful, while i really like that, i think d1 did it better

“Would any of you play a Destiny Classic experience?” That’s gonna be a resounding YES from me

It was honestly an experience you had to be there for. Max level was 30.

Raiding in D1 was an experience I will never forget honestly the most fun I have ever had in a multiplayer setting god I miss those simpler days 😔

I miss this game so much. D2 isn’t the same. If I raided with any of you randoms, it was an honor!

I pop in to Destiny 1 like once a month just to see my original guardian from before cross save. I miss Destiny The Show.

I actually just got into Destiny, as anew player I thought it was really hard getting into D2 with how chopped up the base game is. So I tried out D1 and honestly I’m having a really good time with it. It was cool to see that people are still playing, and that I actually have a complete game to experience. I know I won’t get to check out those live events and such, but it’s awesome at least all of the base content and expansions are still here to enjoy.

the nostalgia is crazy I started tearing up thinking about all the good old days and friends I made along the way and who I haven't talked to in over 5 years

Look how fast the weapon handling and movement speed is! I miss that. But mantling was a great addition to D2.

I miss the campaign structure of d1. I loved how u could replay any mission in the campaign at any time. It also felt like the story had tighter direction in a sense. I’m not saying the overall storytelling is better but how the campaign felt to play felt much more rewarding. I also miss when exotics felt genuinely exotic same with legendary gear. You weren’t just handed the gear like you are now which I feel diminishes the value of the gear.

D1 had a lot of cool missions. Especially on Venus, the art in this game was something I've never seen before

The difficulty is something I actually miss from D1. D2 can be hard if not geared but even then D1 made you work for it.

Strikes and crucible were so much better in destiny 1 imo. I loved the more slow paced d1 pvp as opposed to the constant sliding and strafing in destiny 2. Im sure d2 may take more skill but i just had much more fun in d1, loved the forgiveness of d1 handcannons

It was really only in the past few months that I started putting any time into destiny 2. All these years it’s been out I’ve been playing destiny 1 still, mostly soloing nightfalls once a week, but age of triumph really gave this game so much life. I also mostly prefer the art style in d1, it’s cool to hear someone else notice that subtle difference (: definitely one of my favorite games as well

What a fabulous game D1 was. Some fantastic memories. My 1st Vault of Glass raid was with a random team on one sunny afternoon. It was mindblowing. One of, if not the best gaming experience i have ever had. Good times 🙏

As far as I’m concerned, my gaming life truly started with D1. I played games all my life but wasn’t into these kind of grindy games before 2014-this game changed all that. I met so many awesome life long friends from these playlists.

I would for sure run Crota’s End again. My favorite raid of all time. Had so much fun with the boys, giggling and laughing as we would try to make it through that one passage where it’s just darkness and endless thralls. Good times.

Dude! I actually went back and played D1 this month as well. My life shifted pretty significantly recently... I got offered a job in Norway, so I moved here in the last days of 2022 and because I don't know anyone and it's winter, after work I hang out at home and because I brought my old Xbox One X with me, I decided to fire up D1 and I've been just chilling every day for an hour or two in game. There are still people playing this game. My tower is almost always pretty full and there are still LFG posts regularly. Like you said, this game changed my life as well. And that's not me just saying stuff, it did allow me to make some of the decisions that led me to a better and more full life. The friendships, the memories, the "zeitgeist" of that era on console was something that defined gaming for me and many other people who were around back then. I made friendships all around the world, played with some amazing and kind people and that's how I found you and your channel as well. Just looking at my vault is like going back in time. Every gun and every piece of armor has a story attached to it. Dude, the memories :) Glad to see you're enjoying it as well. Hope you're well! P.S. You say you lived for Trials. I lived for the Solo Nightfall. That was my favorite activity in the game back then. Being able to do it week after week was the "pride and accomplishment" I was after.

It's amazing to hear you talk about D1 the way you do because I feel the exact same. Destiny was really my first hardcore gaming experience. I miss the raid days so much. Made friends, the community was tier 1 back then. I recently tried out D2 and was SO lost. Will never get that old VOG raid feels again.

I would love a destiny classic. I remember playing the game in its alpha and beta stages, the game honestly felt like such a breath of fresh air and was the last game to really make me feel that way.

I can ABSOLUTELY relate to this! Destiny 1 is one of my favorite games of all time, and I’m glad to see people going back to play D1 and to see new players coming to D1. It just fills me with so much joy. I’m also, legit right now, redownloading D1, as we speak, just had to go back to it, lol. Thank you, for making this epic video. Also: WARLOCK MASTER RACE DESTINY 1! Not in D2 tho.

I still remember when I got my first Gjallarhorn from Crota's End. I still miss my Rampage+Outlaw Imago Loop to this day

The title music, the colony ship in the cosmodrome, THE FEEL AND DESIGN of the game. This truly was my home and nothing will ever compare. Ever.

I so miss my hunters taken sword, which I worked SOOO hard for. I also had the taken ship color mod…it was so awesome…. Dude your making me take a trip down memory lane! Now I’m gonna have to play it!

Thanks for making this awesome video, my nostalgia really hit hard when you were talking about the memories associated with D1. Had a very similar experience back in the day, lots of fun with great people. Keep up the great work!

Classic D1, I would play it in a heartbeat. Miss DTS, listened to it while travelling between calls. Good content thank you.

I played D1 back at the start, so much fun with mates! I randomly jumped into a few missions last year! So nostalgic picking it up again! I’ve just picked up Destiny 2 Lightfall and really enjoying it. Will always be an amazing game

Listening to you reminiscing about those years brings a tear to my eye. The D1 content and DTS you put out were things I looked forward to every day

Thank you for all the awesome content and memories

Man this game meant so much to me all the back in 2014 as a 12 year old squeaker and to this Destiny is still one my most favourite franchises I loved the art, the world building, the loot, everything and then I got older and had less time for Destiny 2 by 2017/18 but now and again I pop back into D1 or D2 (when a new expansion drops for example) per audacia ad astra

Destiny 1 was where I reunited with some old friends of mine from 6th grade. The only members I maintained contact with are my friends Nero, Austin, and Nate. In the final season of Beyond Light, another person I met that year who was also on good terms with Nero, Austin, and Nate created a clan. The clan itself is essentially a group dedicated to players who were abandoned by their previous friends/clans. He makes sure to ask any of our LFGs as well if they'd like to join our ranks

miss this game so much, played the shit out of it as a teen and wish i could go back and play it again so many good memories and good people i met through this game

Man the game I found you on nostalgia I'm only 20 but I feel old whenever I think about how long ago destiny 1 came out and the hour I sunk into it

The graphics on old hardware are 50/50 technical wizardry and insane art direction.

I started Destiny 1 on Playstation 4 when it first came out and I had lots of fun. I spent countless hours in that game. I finished all the raids except rise of machines , I got my gjallarhorn on my 3rd month after the game out in 2015 and I got every exotic armor and exotic weapons from Destiny 1. When I got Destiny 2 for the ps4 , when it first came out, it didn't feel the same. So I went back to Destiny 1 and I was surprised at how many people still played this game 5 years ago. Four years ago, I stopped playing on ps4 and bought an xbox one S, but I still missed playing Destiny 1. So I bought a disc version of Destiny 1 The Complete edition for the Xbox and I still haven't played it as much as I would to this day because of work. Now that I have an Xbox Series X, I''ll definitely go back to playing Destiny 1 and see if I can get back every piece of exotic armor and weapon including the Vex Mythoclast. The thing I hate about Bungie is the way they brought back The Vault of Glass Raid and armor and weapons but they never brought back the Atheon's Epilogue Auto Rifle. What's worse they made Fatebringer an exotic weapon and the Gjallarhorn is hidden behind a paywall as part of a bungie 35th anniversary expansion. I'm not exactly sure if I want to buy that new Destiny 2 expansion Lightfall.

Man my heart is so happy and so sad at the same time! I've lost a member of the Fireteam since this game but seeing this all brings back so many fantastic memories 😭

I literally have not booted up d1 since the night before d2 launch. I’m gonna do it! So many good memories with d1, it was a special game.

3:43 Dude you nailed it right on the head. D1 just had a different feel to it, and I wish D2 would have kept some of that old art style and mystery.

This brings back so many memories, I remember playing this game as a kid and it being the first game I ever bought for my xbox. Such a great community behind this game

I don't comment that much on YT videos, but I remember your voice and I loved your podcast back in the day! I was neck deep in Destiny at the time as well. Great memories!

During holiday break there were so many ppl playing pvp. I was finding games so fast I was shocked

My favorite game hands down without question. I played the beta and didn't know what i was doing, just ran around pve with a sniper, trying to play it like halo and cod. I didn't pay attention to it until my friend let me license transfer it during house of wolves dlc. As soon as i started playing i fell in love and never stopped playing. Just when i thought it couldn't get any better, i just kept learning more and finding more in the game and in the community. It just felt like a never ending experience with infinite possibilities. A mysterious vibe everywhere in every setting that was just perfect. And the music, oh baby the music, was just perfect. It was already my favorite game i had ever played and i didn't think it could possibly get any better. Then the taken king happened. And man, when i say the majority of my life during that time was spent on that game, i mean it literally. Sad or not, i don't care. That time will always remain the absolute pinnacle of gaming for me and holds some of the best memories in my life. I was so deep into the story, the lore of everything, the secrets, finding secrets myself, trying to find them before anyone makes a video about them, the exotic swords, the entire dreadnought...etc literally everything i was so invested in and i knew everything about the game, pve side more than pvp, that i possibly could. Then kings fall came out and that was the first raid i went for worlds first on. Although, my team was an LFG and not an actual set up team for worlds first. But that was ok! Back then it was the experience and the friends you made through LFG. No other game i played had such genuine people that would always be willing to help others get through even the most difficult activities. That's why i played every raid at least 5-10 times each every week. (Also because i just absolutely loved raiding.) I was always looking for newer players who wanted to experience the raid but didn't have anyone to play it with. So i would always post on LFG looking for newer players to sherpa and make sure they knew it didn't matter if they didn't know what they were doing or if they messed up or didn't understand anything. It was such an amazing feeling to help newer people experience those end game activities and get them more into the game like i was. Rise of iron was no different either. I played it like crazy and then destiny 2 had me even more excited than i had ever been. I loved it at first and for a good while after. But after a year or two of it. I couldn't play it with the same excitement i could back in destiny 1. It was just different. I still bought every dlc and played them and i even had a set team from last wish that i went for worlds first with on every single raid up until the lightfall raid. But, now i don't play it at all. and i said up until the lightfall raid because i didn't even buy lightfall. I was excited and was going to buy it, but i didn't see a need to. It's a lot of money, so i decided to wait and see if the "this dlc will change everything and bring destiny back" hopefulness would be true. I saw it wasn't, so i didn't buy it. Such a shame what destiny used to be and mean to alot of us and what it is now. So, i would absolutely buy and play an og destiny experience if they were to make one. Especially if it's on pc. Maybe if destiny 3 is a thing, we can have hope that they'll simplify things and bring that mysterious vibe back into the game.

I got Destiny for my birthday when Taken King was new. Started playing and my friends decided to come back to it too, didn't know they had it. And we got our raid team, being carried was nostalgic and now I'm the one "carrying" (b/c not a lot of them play anymore so it's usually just me- but I still play other games with them so we're not entirely apart) I'm enjoying D2 again, grinding and grinding for work- man time flies 😭

I've been replaying it here lately and honestly it's nice seeing people going back to the game.

Thanks for this video. I love your content. I miss DTS

Hot Take: I wish D2 still had the graphics of D1. High FPS doesn’t mean good especially when everything looks like it is made of plastic. D2 and many modern games break a core game design theory that important things should look special to the player. Everything in D2 shines in someway or is a bright color off the RGB table. I spend half my time in pvp filtering out what not to look at since it all pops out at me. I think the late 2000’s early 2010’s is the best era in video game graphics with D1 being at the top of all of them.

i am in tears from nostalgia thank you

I finally found the heart to listen to the final episode a few months ago. Thanks for the good times

Definitely agree with the time part older you get more responsibility and less time... I was on D1 every night now I'm lucky if I get more than 10 hours a week to invest 😔

Tbh I been playing destiny a lot lately on Xbox glad to see someone else who was like damn let's go back to the good old days 😆

Enjoyed the video, memories! Got three Gally's in D1. First was in the chest in VOG. Then again the next day. Had another drop months later and never got it again. Use to run people through Icebreaker mission with my wife, loved when it dropped for them. Spent ALOT of time exploring outside the map, loved following the greats like CloudXXX. Made some great friends.....still play with a few now....one in particular. The self Rez helped me glitch through doors, good times. -Salty-Blueberry

Man, I miss using No Land and the Zen Meteor most in Trials. Felt absolutely legendary winning with em. No snipers in D2 have the same feel and was really surprised they didn't carry those over after how popular they were amongst PvP.

The d1 tower was layout was way better. Everything was so close together.

Destiny 1 was the first game that really changed my life, I just imagined in a whole Nother world that was me in the video game and just how everything was , like a fairytale to me and I loved it. I remember the first time we playing destiny in the patrol area of cosmodrome, I would save up all my strange coins just to wait for xur every Friday morning, amazing times I wish I can go back beginning all over again

Just the theme song on the start screen is nostalgic for me. Getting off work , coming home at 10pm my clans already online , it’s a Monday and we’re all up until 3am doing the raid , cutting up in pvp (sometimes) man just the thought makes me wish it was 2014 again

I thinking to come back sometime soon to Destiny 1 in my PS4! ;) RESPECT YOU, BRO!

This game really was something else. Im honestly surprised people are still playing it like at all.

Good memories. Fanboyed so hard when I played IB with you in the fireteam the one time. Hahaha

I played this game so hard! I was even ranked! You got me wanting to go back now!

Great video! We LOVE D1 over at Destiny: The Series. We are preserving EVERY mission and DLC for D1. The Best time to play PVP on D1 is evening. Plenty of use are still playing the game that changed our lives!

Snerv, Chozo Cat, Sassi, BD Ditty, General Wizzard. Seeing those names in the gameplay brought back so many memories hahaha

I have like 2500 hours in Destiny 1. Loved this game and love the memories now. D2 is not the same anymore. Also, the intro music in D1 is much better than in D2.

It's so crazy seeing the tower again I went back probably a year and a half ago and it was so weird not having Wells dodges or barriers is the weirdest thing for me

That initial intro is what makes me smile. I fell off destiny hard and in D1 I was part of a clan, my main role was PVP and carrying ny team while they sit back and watch me clutch

I wish this game got a remaster, whilst I am pretty upset with Bungie for the content vault in Destiny 2 I'd still probably struggle to stop myself from purchasing this game if it was on steam.

So much nostalgia

Gosh this filled me with Nostalgia, I remember playing this when it first dropped. Played all the way thru Croats End, then I moved to PC.

Destiny 1 just had a vibe man, some of my favourite memories were on this game. Good times.

This pulled my heart strings. ❤️ D1 was just better. D2 from launch left me with sad feelings. I understand changing the game engine but it felt so vastly different that it was a failure to me and I've had a really hard time getting into it the way I did D1. I had 1400hrs into D1 but I'm only at 300ish in D2.

I really wish Bungie would remaster D1 and release it on PC because i don't have a console these days and only on PC. I miss D1 so much and it was far better than D2

This is so nostalgic... I participated in the Destiny 1 beta on the PS3 when I was about 10 or 11 years old and I remember very well how much I loved this game. After the beta ended I kept playing the demo non-stop (as if it was the full game) since I couldn't buy the game. Unfortunately, it is not available on Steam (unlike Destiny 2 which is there). I hope one day they make a PC port...

Man I remember grinding for months trying to get my first gjallarhorn and don’t even get me started in the ice breaker. I think I finally got one when I was starting to ease off of playing the game but all my buddies had theirs seemingly from the start. Just got into D2 and the nostalgia has been real. Hopefully I can get a last word (I pray it’s still good) drop soon and hit up trials :D

D1 was Awesome and D2 has turned into a grind campaign x10 and burnt me out. I play sometimes these days in D2 but after an hour, its the same grind to get 10 things to trade for 1 thing and get 10 of them to get another thing to complete a task. Destiny has brief stories wrapped around lots of "busy work" to keep people busy until next DLC/Release and has completely ruined this for me. I liked D1 because it seemed to be more story driven and I guess D2 people gave up on that concept, too bad.

I remember seeing Hunter, Titan, warlock, I picked Titan because it fits my personality. Smash smash😂 but what made me really excited was that I went to a military academy Discovery ChalleNGe Academy and was put without knowing or being allowed to pick the Titan platoon. That cemented my belief that I’m really a Titan.

I’ve been playing through this recently (for the first time In years) and it still holds up

Getting my ghorn year one was one of the best moments I’ve had on gaming followed by many more actually using the gally.

Such a great game, a real shame it’s gone the way it has in D2 😢

Man the tower in D1 it's just special. Hits different

I’m installing this on my PS5 right now. Really excited to relive the OG Destiny.

Oh man the podcast brings back some nostalgia.

It’s crazy I was literally thinking about this strike mission yesterday while I was driving

seeing the traveler above the city. crazy to think they finally got their vison nearly 10 years later

D1 Moments of Triumph/ April update was one of the single greatest updates/ revivals of a game of all time. Miss those days.

Some of my friends that began D1 with me in 2014, have decided to fire it back up. Can not wait to.join them and relive the good ole days!

Yeah bro feel you right there on the intro song and everything about this game wish we could play everything from destiny 1 in destiny 2 like combine them bro that would have been the goat

Destiny 1 was my halo 3. Hoppin on every Friday night with the boys back in middle school, grinding our with thru every campaign. Gosh those were the days

I wish D2 kept the D1Y1 art style, its really what drew me to the series.

Im so thankful for destiny. Still remember grinding for exotics on the campaign mission using the checkpoint glitch, getting the dlc by logging into a friends account and quickly switching to mine. Good times.

Oh what good times. 2 of the most special moments to me where when i did VoG and kingsfall for the first time. Especially on kingsfall i know how hard my jaw dropped when that light goes to that door and illuminates it. I think VoG was my first raid though.

I recently hopped onto this game a few days ago. And man, I miss the good ol D1 days. And there's so many people playing on there again, I'd swear I could set up raids on lfg if i reslly wanted.

My and a few friends actually started back playing D1 while we wait for lightfall to drop and its been a blast i must say. Sometimes i forget how long just normal strikes took tho haha.

destiny 1 will always hold a special place in my heart to the point where hearing the title music makes me tear up

Im taking my buddy through it who had never played d1 but had played a lot d2 he absolutely loves it i recommend making any of your friends who play d2 play through d1

I’m actually playing destiny one for pretty much the first time today, I can’t wait for the story I’m excited. I jumped into destiny 2 forsaken and been playing it ever since

That line blue horn at the title screen is just ICONIC

playing this game for the first time was insane! i LOVED this game. everything about it was so different from compared to other games that were out during the time. my buddies that i made from this game and i cranked in HRS on this and didnt regret one sec wasted for bathroom breaks . it almost made me start streaming which i tried but didnt continue through with it. This game got me through some of my darkest times trying to deal with life's roller coaster. i loved this game
