100% agree, I wish I could go back to experience the time Destiny 1 trailer released, the hype it created that none of us were prepared for till the day of the release. I lost WAY too many hours of sleep throughout high-school playing D1 with my friends and brother lol idk how tf I managed to get good grades lol but I will never forget the sheer excitement and determination we all had to get home and run through prison of elders, kingsfall, wrath of the machines and trials of the nine. We had a dedicated team for both PVE and PVP, no matter what we wanted to do my brother and I experienced what I think was Bungies biggest success in gaming history. Everybody and I mean EVERYBODY talked about Destiny, hell a few of the girls I dated back in high-school were playing Destiny casually till Vine took over their minds lol The impact D1 had cannot be matched in D2....sad to say because I love D2 but its not the same love that I think everyone who reads this comment could agree with is the same love we had for D1. Idk who all else they have gotten rid of at Bungie but they need to wake up and realize they CAN NOT afford to crutch on Marathons potential to "vault" the Destiny franchise. If they do that, Bungie will flip over and will only be remembered as the creators of Halo and Destiny while painfully rubbing salt into wounds of everyone's childhood. They will need some pull off some magical fairy shit the same way the did with Destiny to continue to generate revenue. Maybe Bungie needs to let go of the franchise and let another developer rewrite a lot of the wrongs but I hope Sony purchasing Bungie could redirect the direction the game and franchise is headed before the train fly's off the tracks.

A good chunk of D1’s vanilla music was composed by Marty O’Donnel, who got fired for internal disagreements before the game launched. Him and Salvatori were the main composers back then and both made amazing works. They brought on more people over time, and most of them have different senses of composition than the 2 OGs.

Making primary weapons for the special slot was dumb rarely see anyone use shotguns and snipers hell they nerfed both of those guns to make them pointless in PVP.

I’ve always felt like something was lost in translation in terms of visuals/art style when it jumped from D1 to D2. Gameplay and visual performance is superior in D2 for sure, but D1 has the better art style, encounter designs and the banger D1 soundtrack that Marty had more of a hand in. D2 does have good tracks, but I feel like they miss out in certain areas by not using more of the D1 soundtrack. I’ve been here since the alpha, so I’ll definitely be there until the end. Just wish Bungie could have kept the OG crew together and expanded more of the vision of Destiny.

@cehaem23 ай бұрын
of course they won't port anything. Compared to D2 level of depth D1 feels really shallow with much fewer perks, no class ability, etc. The good thing is, as D doesn't rely that heavily on dediated servers, keeping the game online generates little extra costs which means they could potentially keep the game alive for another decade. Of course, once we have a PS and its MS counterpart there will be only very few PS4s out there so they might actually say it's not worth it...I mean, you don't buy a new console to play a game that's a decade old. Yes, D2 will celebrate its 10th birthday (I mean, the official release, of course the game is older, even with the playable beta).

I literally have endless stories of playing with friends and beating raids for my first time with them.

Even tho I was a Grimoire nerd and collected everything to learn the actual lore of what was going on. Funny I still talk to some of those friends to this day. I’ll never forget my first ever memory of ever even seeing Destiny was being at a friend’s house, seeing him playing it and almost immediately leaving and asking my mom to buy it for me.

I remember, it was a lucky turn of chance, that the day Destiny came out, i had 10 days leave. I remember going to Game, picking up my pre order copy and guide, getting home and it was BITTERLY cold, unusually cold that year, we had masses of snow, but...... It added to the atmosphere. I remember it like yesterday, ringing my pals, and we were like kids... Saying how we were gonna pop in too Tesco, get some Red Bulls, Doritos, Chocolate..... Got home, put it in the PS4, and man.... It is weird as i have those nostalgia tingles now. I looked through the guide, it looked insane... And when i started playing, it just transported me away from life. All the usual crap you deal with daily, it was just removed, freezing cold outside, me in my nice warm games room, playing Destiny, the missions, the lore, the music.... It was just gaming on a whole new level. Here i am, 44, moved up too Scotland, beautiful part of the world, iv'e got a fantastic gaming setup, but i'm yet to have another ''Destiny'' moment, and i still think Destiny was one of the best experiences in gaming iv'e had. I think in terms of great times in gaming...... Destiny Skyrim Witcher 3..... I think that order in which games made me genuinely sit up and say ''wow'' what an experience.

My IRL friend group and I formed over Destiny 1. We're approaching our 10 year anniversary and I booted up the game to gather some footage for a video I'm making for the occasion.. What struck me most, after the initial nostalgia rush left me. was how Destiny 1 nailed the mood of mystery and discovery. The music, the tone of the voice acting, waht we knew and didn't know about the Darkness, Destiny 1 was a period of mystery and discovery, for better or worse. The art direction for the gear and shaders was better, in my opinion. Go look at D1 Iron Banner armor that was more centered around vikings and knights. When learning about the Iron Lords in the Grimoire, they are talked about as if they are such as heroic knights of the middle ages. The armor is worn metal as it is, and a certain shader applied can either lean into that effect, or make it look cleaner depending on your tastes. And shaders.... Not onlt was it easier to tell what color your armor would be, but sometimes a shader would make your armor look like it was made of a different material. Go look at any ankle length Warlock robes and apply "Goldspiral" to it. The shade gives a leathery weight and sheen to the fabric, where, say, one of the Dead Orbit shaders can give it a linen, cotton, or even canvas sort of quality. You don't really find shaders like that in D2. While there is a lot of cool armor in D2, in my opinion they leaned into this sort of cleaner, bulkier look for the Titan's (which I main, so admittedly I don't have a lot of comparable reference for the other classes), and the sahder colors are anyone's guess as to what's gonna go where. D2 did improve on abilities, customization, and build craft, though. The emote wheel, and shader storage were huge QoL improvements. It also eventually improved on story and the way it was delivered. The universe became larger and more was revealed about characters in the lore, and the Darkness. Though the game did have its stumbles along the way, Final Shape was a perfect end to the Light and Dark 10 year saga and it was clear Bungie really wanted to give the series a good send off, which they fully succeeded in doing. Right now, I think a lot of players, myself included, are at a point where we are reflecting on the last 10 years and wanting to revisit the places where it all began. In the video I'm making, I'm creating a whole part from footage of D1 we captured around the time of The Dark Below, and am going to temper it with footage we capture from now. The whole vibe I'm going for is nostalgia, reflection, contemplation, with a healthy dose of melancholy. The main emotion I'm going for, though, is gratitude. Gratitude for the experiences Destiny has brought us. Gratitude for the community members we interacted with. Gratitude for the strong IRL friendships the game created for us. Gratitude for Bungie going out on a limb and creating something they didn't know how to initially. Gratitude for the times we went on full clan steam rolls in the Iron Banner when light level mattered. Gratitude for all the "totally bullshit" kills the other team got on us. Gratitude for the randos that helped me finish my only ever raid completion by defeating Oryx in Kingsfall... ...And gratitude that we even get to have these memories at all.

As a regular D1 player to this day, I always love when people make this type of video. It's cool to see the perspective of people who used to play the game, then left when it stopped being updated, then came back. First, I 100% agree with your opinions on the art design / music / general vibe of the game. D1 just has that grit which D2 is seriously missing. It reminds me of the jump from Halo: Reach to Halo 4, same deal. Second, it's funny that you say D1 doesn't have the same sense of community, because from my perspective (as someone who's regularly played since D1 day 1) it has more community these days than it did in 2016. The player population is like, less than 500 total people, which means that if you play the game enough you naturally learn everyone. All the dedicated players naturally become friends (or in some cases enemies lol) because there's no other choice with such a small playerbase. As an example: in your two games of crucible, you played against Knera. That account is used by a couple of people, so I don't know who exactly you were playing, but Knera himself is a speedrunner. We aren't friends, but we've totally talked in raids and stuff in the past, and we know each others' names and stuff. That sort of thing just doesn't happen in games with bigger populations. You could play a hundred crucible games in D2 and not recognize anyone; in D1, it's basically guaranteed you'll recognize someone. The other thing I want to comment on is that raids in modern D1 play completely different than they did in 2017. The community has dissected, broken, and solved every raid encounter, to the point where you can join a random 390 King's Fall lfg, and if the team is good enough (and chances are you know each other anyway) you can complete the raid in under an hour without needing to say a word about the raid itself. And of course, the opposite is true: sometimes you join an lfg and it's a bunch of D2 players, or old D1 people who haven't played since 2017, or actually new Destiny players. But even then, since the game has been solved for so long, you know the most optimal ways to help the team and carry as best as you can. Anyway, mini-rant over. D1 is just Such a good game, I love when people make content about it in 2024. I saw you're on Xbox, hmu at "itssosnowy" (on Xbox or discord) if you want, maybe we can run a raid sometime

This was peak gaming for me. I wish I could load up this game for the first time again. D1 has such a nostalgic feeling. So many great memories were made playing this. D2 unfortunately I just can’t play anymore. It’s not the same

My father and i would play d1 every night and we made some amazing friends who we have travelled across the world to meet in person. THATS COMMUNITY. And unfortunately destiny 2 didnt capture the same charm to us and now we all either play different games or dont play at all😢.

That would be me as well. Just bought it on Xbox for 20 bucks, I have it on PS5 but decided to get it on Xbox cause I just love the first one. Though I do wish that it was in 60fps rather then 30 fps. But it is what it is. Honestly if they did release this on PC I would pick that up again too. They would get so much in terms of sales if they released it for PC.

My Destiny journey is complex. I got it Day 1 in 2014, at 12 years old. I played Y1 VIGOROUSLY, but always lacking a fireteam for raids/Prison of Elders etc. I did it, but sporadically. That being said, I had a great time. I just fell off during Taken King. Returning for Rise of Iron, I enjoyed it just as much as before. It all built to the 2017 April Update: Age of Triumph. For context, my feelings towards D1 was always that the content there was excellent, but there wasn't enough of it. Not enough to do, nor enough rewards for doing it. Age of Triumph solved that issue, with all the content and all the (new) rewards for it. D1 felt...complete. Add to that the hype for D2? I was thrilled. I then played D2 until Forsaken, but moved on because of exams. I haven't been back since...so, 2019? That being said, I haven't felt the desire. Part of that, I think, is D2 lost some tone and art style. It became more spacey, and less grounded. I have a lot of nostalgia for D1, and I wish it was more permanent than an always-online live-service shooter. There's nothing to this, I just wanted to get it off my chest.

Destiny 1 does NOT give the same feeling Destiny 2 gives you. Destiny 1 was so much more innovative ON BEHALF OF THE PLAYER. Destiny 2s innovation really only came when money can be made. Its really sad. This is why i play fromsoft games only now. It seems they are the only company making content worth the price

I played soooo much of this game over the years on both ps4 and xbone and yeah, there really isn't anything like Destiny 1. I am still disappointed that I never really got to raid back then because I only ran the first 3 raids once each back then and never got to play Wrath.

I played a lot of D2 and eventually stopped playing at Beyond Light. I went back to my light lvl 190 hunter on D1 this summer, and spent around 100 hours getting him to 400 light. It is so much more enjoyable than D2 imo. Destiny 2 feels like seeing a cool piece of armor and knowing already it’s some $20 eververse armor set. Destiny 2 also feels more sci-fi fantasy while destiny 1 feels more sci-fi apocalyptic (or maybe there’s a better word to describe the feeling) and i much prefer the tone and style of d1 (locations, armor, weapons) than D2
@oprime7 ай бұрын
Destiny 2's direction has definitely gone from that sci-fi apocalyptic feel because everything was so raw and there were enemies on all sides. In Destiny 2, MOST of those enemies are now allies and our technology and the stability of the system are almost up to the Golden Age level of things. So it should be interesting to see if Bungie will pull a "Power Rangers show end" on us and make it so that we now have all this skill, team work, great tech, only to have us beaten badly to where we're at our weakest with little to none of our power/abilities but we'll still have our teamwork which will be the driving force to overcome the enemy somehow.

The music in this game matches everything you see on the screen to perfection!!! This gentlemen created the effect called space magic that made us feel like we were there! That is why we miss D1 so much, because D2 delivers 20% of space magic at best!

Let’s put it this way, If I had to play save or kill on Destiny or Destiny 2, I’m saving Destiny, Destiny and Gears 3 insane horde mode, are probably my 2 favorite co op shooters of all time to play with a group of friends, So many awesome challenging teamwork accomplishments and memorable moments.

Destiny 1 was the greatest gaming experience I'd ever had, even to this day. Started in year 2, but it was still an honor to be there for any part of it. The world, the community, and many first time experiences for me have just cemented this game in my own personal history. Was it perfect? No, but I loved it.

I played D1 exclusively from the very start until 2 came along I missed out on so many games BUT I didn’t care because of the fun I had everyday with my clan DODuk mainly frost, north, robG, mat, Felix, STU and BTILC. From everything from trails at the weekend to just raids in the week and just messing around in PvP in general. The grind was real but felt worth it something D2 just didn’t get right from the start. Sadly I drifted away from D2 after one too many times bungie promised something that didn’t deliver and almost everything went in to the shop. But the memories I’ve got from d1 are truly cherished.

What I love(d) about Bungie is how subtly great they were at horror and atmosphere. When I first played Halo, I was blown away by the Flood and how terrifying those levels were. They don’t advertise it, but damn were they good at it

watching this brings back so many memories of me and the team! just wish they never went the way of money and made D2 a great single player experience. kept all the planets there and kept adding and adding and not taking away. I just checked DIM (destiny item manager) and found all my old stuff. gods what a great time this game was. I kinda wanna load it up and play again lol. start over and experience it for the "first time again.

All I would ask for Bungie, if we get a D3, is to combine the business model of D2 (minus the extreme leaning of Eververse and leave loot ouside of the battle passes) with the artsyle and soul of D1. And FFS, can they please bring back Sparrow Racing? They were cooking something with that and never expanded upon it

I know right? I was just mentioning a few days to a friend on D2 that I wish they'd bring back the Sparrow Racing. It is insane that they never went further with it. Plus with the fact that there are so MANY sparrows in the game, it just feels like a waste. I know that there are some sparrows that are harder to steer than others, some that would be hilarious to race in (mini-sparrows come to mind), and plus having different sparrow horns would be fun!

Destiny 1 is the best game I've ever played in my life, played it since the beta in 2014. Got top placements on pvp in both destiny and destiny 2 but I eventually quit due to the state of the game in 2018. I installed it again yesterday to see how destiny 2 feels, but I know for sure it won't be like destiny 1
