    What they don't seem to realize is that no one really became a character until Cayde's death in Forsaken. It was honestly the catalyst for them telling a character focused story in any capacity. It's awful that the seasonal model means some of the most significant character moments can only be experienced on YT and never in game.

      Yeah, you’re right tbh. Cayde was the only real character aside from MAYBE Eris, until he died and it actually forced them to write for the other characters. And temporary seasons actually having relevant character and story writing in seasons has always been a double-edged sword. It is honestly fun to experience, but the fact that players onboarded after the season has been rotated out basically only get that story in recap-cutscenes is… pretty shit, yeah.

    I definetly think Zavala was better built out than Ikora in Destiny 1, particularly during Taken King at the same time Cayde-6 was. While Cayde was the rule breaker pushing things to get the job done, Zavala was the stoic leader type who kept more within the lines.
    Which is why it's been so interesting seing Destiny 2 test him time and time again.
    The major flaw this reveal had though is that we focus on the core Vanguard members, one of which has been dead for going on 5 years at this point. No sight of characters who've proven much more interesting such as Eris Morn, Drifter, Saint-14 even Crow.... I do hope some of that extended cast is given some time to sign in this moment of culmination. Especially Crow, a Guardian we've seen specifically guided by the Traveler like ourselves and now attempting to fill Cayde's shoes. Would be nice to see that paid off.

    • @Bladings

Then when you play it there isnt really that much in between the areas they show and it ends up being pretty small.

    It's actually kinda fitting that they described Final Shape as a story told around a campfire considering campfire stories are often sporadic and unplanned, much like the story of Destiny has been.
    Only the average campfire story doesn't have hundreds of millions of dollars and 10 years behind it, so Destiny doesn't have an excuse for the quality of the storytelling.

    The Ghost "not knowing" why it brought you back to life and instead just doing it "because of a feeling" is not only untrue by the game's own story, but also just bad, intentionally ambiguous writing similar to The Speaker's "I could tell you" scene way back in vanilla Destiny 1.
    Also having the Ghost say "after all we've lost" on a shot of Cayde back from the dead probably isn't the best idea given that Cayde's death was one of the biggest losses faced by our character in the entire story.

    They're one hundred percent going to intentionally under deliver on pretty much every front. Because, sadly, there are probably more people who would finally stop playing Destiny if the story of the Traveler and the Witness was concluded in a satisfying way, than people who would quit if they were once again shafted by Bungie.
    Also what is with their weird format of having developers explain the DLC to... other developers? Like shouldn't all these people already know what's going to be in it and everything?

In some cases, the person acting like they don't know is the one person who should know because they're the one whose job it is to have worked on the very thing they're talking about.

      @HopeYourDoingOkay Рік тому

      The truth is that nostalgia can be used effectively assuming you've done enough work building your world and characters giving the player memorable moments that can be called back for thematic purposes from making you care about what happens to a beloved character to despising a villain who maybe stole said character away from you.
      Not be one of those people who bring it up every chance they get but a good example of this is FF14's Endwalker...that thing is FULL of nostalgia but it serves a purpose, it makes sense and is used to recontextualise everything that's happened over the course of the game's decade long story leading to some truly incredible moments... none of which I'll spoil here just in case.
      The sad part is Destiny HAS done a lot of worldbuilding but the vast majority of players don't experience it because it's either hidden away in seasonal content or behind some other obtuse system, it's weirdly gatekept from most casual players.
      I get the feeling the payoff in Destiny will amount to "remember that time you went through a hive base on the moon"...that was kinda cool right...right?...wanna do it again?... what do you mean no?

    You are really not alone in this jaded feeling… in fact it seems you are more excited than most XD
    I’ve bought every single Deluxe/Season Pass Edition of Destiny since launch and this is the first time I cannot be asked to pre-order. Now, I have no doubt I’ll end up buying Final Shape, just to finish the journey, if nothing else. But I feel like I’ve been burned too many times. The new weapon archetypes and supers are nice, but when the entire community wanted and was expecting the third darkness subclass that was promised three years ago… we were more than a little disappointed. If it was a new super and aspect for every single subclass on every single character… sure. I’ll take 15 new supers over 3 new subclasses. But not one for each class.
    Some people are thinking they are underhyping The Final Shape because overhyping Lightfall was their massive mistake (seriously, I was beyond hyped for Lightfall because it was marketed, and presented in-lore as, the Infinity War of Destiny) but it was actually just shit. But I think that’s pure copium.

It’d be so easy, yet they refuse to do it for god knows why.
    While I find the nostalgia stuff lazy, I’ll say that the pale heart area seems to have more new stuff than old (from what we can see now), and said old stuff is functionally different. A bit worried about how it’ll turn out, but I’m 100% sure that Final Shape will be better than Lightfall. Not a high bar, but still. If it’s better than Witch Queen, I’ll be satisfied.

    The species had it so good and got so bored they decided to destroy the universe and now it will crush anyone and anything that stands in it's way because of how insignificant everyone else is compared to it/them. Even after proving that other species still have a purpose and structure to their lives, which is something they felt they lacked and was the catalyst for why they are trying to reshape reality.
    I can't help but just roll my eyes and sarcastically say "oh no, the Witness is sooo powerful and veeery dangerous."

    I laughed out loud when you called them out for saying "we been building to this moment" because it so true I can't believe I just noticed it

    Yo dude, hope you’re doing better.
    P.S. I’m writing a dark fantasy manga (involving moth people) and one of my characters was directly inspired by your voice and mannerisms.
    Keep up the good shit dude.

    I FUCKING LOVE SLOP!!!!!!!!!!1!1111!
    fr tho as much as I like ur scripted longform content, this kind of stuff is just fine too. Far more casual and hopefully they're at least easier to make lol

    “Destiny 2 should have all of destiny 1 in it” amen! Bring back OG hung jury before the nerf and I may consider coming back. Spot on commentary all around, it’s good to be skeptical of this money grabbing company
    Edited to change buff to nerf. Whoops. This is a live service comment though, can’t expect perfect at first try

    The thing with a new darkness subclass is that we're going in the traveler, so it makes sense for this expansion to introduce light supers.

    • @voltus20
      @voltus20 Рік тому +2

      Also the only reason people were expecting a new subclass is because of (now confirmed wrong) leaks, when we've always had at least 1 expansion of buffer between subclasses (which now we know is because it takes bungie longer than a year to make them, as confirmed by Joe Blackburn in an interview).

      We may be going into the Traveler, but we're also going to confront the MOST POWERFUL Darkness wielder in the universe, who is bending the Light to try and remake everything the way he wants. You can go either way with this logic of "oh, we're by X thing so we should get X ability."

    I'm cautiously optimistic. When they said linear destination, I thought that maybe we'll get an interesting environment where it's not just a place meant to slow you dosn while you get from shooty place to shooty place. Also, I don't remember where they said this, but the thing about seeing our past or whatever is something I always wanted Destiny to do. I mean, Destiny 1, the first raid, we have portals that take us backwards and forwards to time. I always thought we dhould have had a mission where we went and saw the battle at twilight gap for ourselves.

    I see 2 major features they added after DE. Resurrection of significant NPC and rouge-like elements.

    I hate that I literally can't trust anything these guys are saying because this is exactly what they were saying for Lightfall even knowing what they were putting out was fucking hot garbage. I'm not buying this shit until other people have so I can see if it's actually good

    I'm so glad I dipped before even Lightfall came out. Destiny 2 was bad, but holy shit this is just pathetic. More of the same bullshit they've been pedalling for years now and people still wanna give to this skinner box.
    I really hope the community turns on Bungie more. I need to see them crash and burn so we can stop watching them parade around the corpse of the once beloved studio.
    I'm so sad they have their grubby hands on Marathon.

      They should "turn" onto themselves. Just stop playing. Wanting to see them burn isn't gonna do anything but attach you to them
