      I'm not so sure about the comparison.
      For one, Franz-Ferdinant, was only heir to the throne, not emperor.
      Also, comparing Taox with Princip is giving Princip too much credit. He was just a little shit with ultra nationalist delusions, a very limited understanding on what was going on and a desire to become famous before dying from TB.
      He was pissed about a habsburg coming to sarajevo on that particular day. And so he - a ultra nationalist wishing for serbias autonomy - desicided that the most reasonable course of action would be to kill not only the heir to the throne of austria-hungary, but also the closest thing to a sypathiser the serbs had at court...

    I come back here every now and then. Not to listen to Byf’s silky smooth, accent narrate the story, in a compelling way to fall to sleep. But to be enthralled all over again by the captivating story of Destiny and its universe. There is potential here for spin off shows, books, more comics, and maybe a movie. I look forward to Byf’s updated: “The complete story of Destiny”, video in the near future. It’s meant to cover the whole Light vs Dark saga, all in time to lead up to the Final Shape.

    Apparently, Radaghast, one of the first Lightbearers to coin the term “Guardian”, was the catalyst that shaped the foundation of what Guardians (whether we wield the Light or Darkness against our enemies) would be. He once had a sword, with a legend ingrained within it as legendary as Excalibur. Imagine how poetic it would be for us to reforge the blade, and if it were used to stab and kill the Witness? I do hope Byf creates another timeline video for the light and dark saga. This game deserves a series encompassing this saga, or at least showing us the origins and spin off stories of Destiny’s most iconic legends: Cayde-6, Mara Sov, Ikora Rae, Zavala, Rasputin, the Hive siblings, etc.

      Destiny’s is shit because it fell into the trap a lot of these “live service” games do:
      They assume that if you make a ton of lore it can replace having a proper story. Also it assumes it can tell you how to feel even though it has zero intrigue and charisma.
      And while there are games that do this, Dark Souls comes to mind, it only gets away with it because you have your own personal story in it. No amount of lore is going to make up for the fact that you are supposedly the “chosen one” doing a dumb emote dance in hot pink armor in a social area with a bunch of other “chosen ones” who mow down hordes of aliens before breakfast making you wonder how the hell we got our ass kicked in the first place.
      And I largely blame a vast majority of this on the idea that someone thought unironicly, “You know what gamers like to do? READ.”

    • @NeonTheWolf
      @NeonTheWolf 3 роки тому +24

      Phillip Dzierbun they explain their reasoning and it’s honestly a really good reason
      They said that making a Destiny 2 instead of just expanding Destiny 1 was a mistake, and they aren’t trying to make that mistake again. They don’t want to break the community up again and just want to focus on one game so the community can remain together and so that players won’t have to start over yet again and can just keep working on their current characters
      They also cited how Destiny 2 was shit on launch and took over a full year to become good and they’d also rather not have that happen again and would just like to work with the game that’s already good to keep us the players happy
      And they have a way to combat Destiny 2 from having too much content due to this aswell with the introduction of the Destiny Content Vault coming whenever Beyond Light drops, where they’re gonna start vaulting/unvaulting content so they can make room to expand and also just clear space so the download isn’t so big for so much unused content like for example the Warmind campaign has only been 0.3% of player’s played activities during the season and yet is 5% of the game’s download so why keep it
      Also unvaulting does include Destiny 1 content, as they’ve stated that along with vaulting things like Mars, Mercury, Titan, and Leviathan they’re also going to unvault the Cosmodrome along with all of it’s strikes and stuff and also the Vault Of Glass raid will be unvaulted too

I think with modern animation and the same voice actors it would be pretty good.

      Destiny's lore is designed for those few who want more from their game. Which is why most of it is hidden in lore books never to be opened much less read by most people.
      The result is that destiny's story takes more risks and needs a publisher who is fine with that. (Look at how bland Endgame is for example)
