Even as a seasoned gamer™ getting into Destiny 2, who also played the first game years ago, there are things in Destiny 2 that confused even me, getting into it recently. Stuff like aspects are never explained, you just have to look it up online. Even some quests and item descriptions are super vague and are worded exclusively in lore-speak, so you have to look up what/who/where it's talking about. Also, literally every location on the director has a glowing yellow icon next to it, I think because of the season objectives, but even after removing the trackers (or so I thought) they are still there. One thing I learned in this video is that the radar has different shades of red when enemies are above/below you. I'm colorblind so I literally would've never noticed (I don't like using the colorblind accessibility options because then everything else looks funky).

I had a friend who I introduced to the game, who hadn't played an FPS game before. I know, I'm a terrible friend. I got them into it, and they instantly fell in love with the graphics, lore and gameplay. It was fun to run around and shoot aliens and sling space magic. I had a new Hunter to train. Then the Humble Bundle sale happened. They couldn't quite buy it, so I bought it for them. Within a week, they had maxed out the season pass and was dying to get into a raid or dungeon. So we did a duo run of Prophecy. Easy Phalanx one phase, but we wiped a couple times to Kell. Once I realised they weren't using Trapper's Ambush (they had Omni on. I guess I didn't check because.. I automatically assumed they'd put it on. It was a mistake on my part as a more experienced player), I told them to switch to it, and the moment they did, we easily beat the Kell Echo. They hit almost 2mil damage with Dragon's Breath and that one Cartesian that Banshee was selling a while back. I'm proud of my friend, they learned so fast. I don't think I can quite call them a New Light anymore.

Really great video! I've for sure met a bunch of blueberries in the past who clearly not only didn't understand Destiny, but struggled to comprehend games as a whole and had to be hand-held through objectives in activities. I feel like somewhere near the screen-adjustment settings upon opening the game it should prompt the following questionnaire to customize the learning experience based on prior gaming knowledge of each new player. "Have you played games in the same genre as DestinyTM before?" Yes / No / I don't recall "How detailed would you prefer tutorial prompts appear?" Guide Me There / Give Me Hints "How often would you like to receive these popups?" Always / Very frequently / Less Frequently I feel like this could be helpful. I can't remember for the life of me what game it was, but I once played a game that outright asked for your noob status at the start with: "Have you played games like this before?" and tailored the tutorial to meet your potential needs in the intorduction.

Take my console gaming skills which were at absolute zero and add in someone who's trying to teach you but keeps getting frustrated that you have no idea what's going on, and it is CHAOS. I still remember sniping things with a bow at a snail's pace and only using an SMG because for me it felt like the only thing that actually killed anything. I didn't want to play it for a long time since I was so discouradged, but slowly the familiarity and skill built up to where I actually started getting the hang of things. Honestly it's only now, five years later, that I'm finally getting around to utilizing the different weapon rolls and armor stats for builds, needless to say your wife is an absolute champ.

@@RenegadePlayingGamesAt current point in gaming handholding is so overdone that most games would benefit with less of it. Destiny 2 also suffering from problem of most MMOs with absurd lack of difficulty of non endgame levels.

The finishers thing is real. When I first started, I was trying the witch queen campaign with a friend. In the first strike, we spent 15 minutes killing the boss only for him to respawn. We must not have seen the prompt and it didn't repop after the first time. I had rebound my buttons on pc, and didn't even bother with finisher. A more experienced friend had to explain why finishers are a thing to change my mind on; "I am playing a shooter, why would I get that close" I'm a gamer too, so this was just awkward for no reason. Edit: I've just watched more and see that the same issue happened here

Guardians, if you see a rank 1 player coming out of that passage in the cosmodrome, it’s your responsibility to greet them with a multiplayer emote. Only a small fraction even recognize you want them to interact. It’s actually quite cute.

Just to reiterate some of his initial points about the tutorial: This is obviously just my subjective experience, but I would pretty easily categorize myself as someone with tons of experience with video games. Jumping into Destiny 2 for the first time (having not played Destiny 1, at the time) I was initially _bewildered_ when the game was throwing terms at me like 'Class Ability', 'Charged Melee', 'Powered Melee', 'Melee Final Blow', 'Final Blow', 'Precision Final Blow', etc... I consistently kept confusing 'Charged' vs. 'Powered' and didn't even realize how my 'Charge Melee' specifically worked until _well after the tutorial._ I couldn't for the life of me initially figure out _what_ the game meant or _what_ it wanted from me until I literally _stopped playing_ and looked into it... Which new players are unlikely to do, because they just want to have fun with their (presumably) limited spare time. Maybe this is a skill issue, but the tutorial definitely didn't help mediate it, and that's what it's meant to do.

Oh yeah, Jez. The room that you get teleported into after you find Maeve's Ghost is not a bug. That's actually meant to force you to use the Director because I remember getting a popup prompt for it when running the NL quest on a new Guardian. Also bc my friend saw it too when he started.

This is quite relatable for when I was a New Light, and I went through multiple fireteam teachers before I left the game a few years ago due to seeing Cayde dead and being filled with stress after the Curse of Osiris campaign. I got back two months ago and started with a new Hunter & Warlock, but still had my rank. It’s adorable seeing Amy go through an experience like this in Destiny 2 and each moment left me to think or laugh, just like my early days of Destiny being a New Light. I hope you two see this because this made this day so much better and made me appreciate everyone who worked on Destiny 2 as a whole. And also, props to Amy for making it through the process like a true Guardian!

I did get put in the box of shame during the new light campaign, but my brother told me how to get out. Then, during "Cold Boot," the mission soft locked. If my brother hadn't told me it was prone to bugging, I may have quit right there. Bugs are irritating in general, but at least experienced players are equipped to handle them. The state of the new light campaign is not acceptable, "Cold Boot soft locks frequently, everyone chooses Hunter because they look the coolest but also happen to be the least new player friendly, and the prompts and story are counterproductive and unhelpful to learning, imagine someone hearing that "Fallen thrive in the dark" and thinking it was relevant to gameplay. New light campaign needs work it will almost certainly never get.

as cool as this experiment is, the game should not be catered to these types of people, they are next level casual (not in a bad way) that normally dont even play games on the regular, the "new player" you are referencing importance are people that occasionally play games and just haven't played destiny. And no one starts gaming with destiny lol

Love the social experiment. As gamers we honestly don't even notice when something is complicated as heck to someone that has never touched a game in their lives, and vice versa non-gamers seem to lack the basic awareness of stuff we do almost subconsciously. Fascinating.
