Other than the “has has” in the title this video is really personal to me, my fault on the typo.
Some of you might resonate with this video, others might not at all and that’s okay. This was meant to be one giant wrap up of my thoughts regarding everything and this was meant to be pretty personal in regards to my own experience too, thanks for being you whether you agree or disagree❤
no stress dude i didn't mean to come across as a corrector
been watching your content for ages, and playing destiny since I was 11 on a terrible dell laptop. I was a sole d2 pvp player, and played pve just to get good pvp stuff (so probably seen the most bs lol) with 1.8k hours, but I have now left the game until final shape. the last straw was reached for me ages ago, and the only thing keeping me in the game was addiction- (which was actually interfering with my life). I absolutely love destiny, and its community, and no-one deserves what the bungie higher-ups have done to everyone tbh. the fact that they have not only atom bombed their community, their game, but their devs as well? its appalling. but I still love this game and I hope with every ounce of my being that it reaches its full potential. I could say so much more about how angry I am or how sad I am, but that's been said enough. I will never forget the raids, the community, or the fun I've had with destiny. where it goes from here is anyone's guess.
Love you bud, had to make a little fun at the typo.
Was only a joke with my comment but yeah this video really hits the nail on the head dude 😢
we can hope
Facts
Its just sad to me that the devs wanted to get the major changes we wanted into the game but just up and got denied.
players like you are part of reason bungie continues to do what they do. the destiny community has surpassed the madden or cod community for being the worst enablers.
They don’t own or run the business. Yes you can say they could have made it the way we all wanted it, but, that was not their job. Apparently it was just like real life, the people in charge make decisions (sometimes terrible), and the employees do what they are told. But why get sad because the people in charge made some shitty moves. Just stop giving them your money. Stop whining then open your wallet. If you give them money, or if you don’t, no one cares about your feelings.
The saddest part about many successful live service games is that they’re often only allowed to develop “safe” content. The business side fundamentally misunderstanding the nature of games and think “why change what isn’t broken,” while not realizing that becomes redundant to players in the longterm and eventually they’ll reach a point of having enough.
@@zachrapier incorrect. i care about the feelings of youtube user @crazedferno
Because there are people in the community who follow bungie no matter how terrible the decision or how bad the game is becoming. I was there in y1 during the terrible times of warmind and even then, I still felt like I could enjoy the game. Now? Not even close. The game borderline isn’t even destiny anymore, even if you compare it to what the game was just four years ago. The whole destiny “magic” has been sucked out for years now
honestly the moment they blamed us players for them having to fire devs, that was it for me. 10 years actually feel wasted now.
It took you 10 years... Better late than never I guess, take up heroine, much better use of your time and a respectable addiction
Same
They actually did that? wtf
@@ToastyZach sadly yes. Bungie are not the same company that made Marathon.. or hell even Halo... id even say Destiny 1. they have fallen more then... well the fallen.
@@MarathonTheGamer Wow. If I'd have known they've become this scummy, I wouldn't have bought any of this paid content. I just started playing like 2 weeks ago while everything was on sale.
The events: Management forces devs to create less interesting/cheaper content --> Devs reports complaints to manegement--> Community complains--> Management initiates a no interaction policy (kills communication with the community)--> Community feels they are shouting into the void --> Devs say they are listening (turns out they were, but Management won't let them do anything about it) --> Lightfall = peak minimum delivery --> Community gets fed up with Bungie's B.S. --> Bungie overestimates revenue and misses by 45% --> Fires devs and team members who have been trying to fix problems behind the scenes with no support from management --> Community outrage -- Bungie blames playerbase for not giving them enough money (Besides $100 yearly expansions, dungeon keys, silver , eververse, DLC packs for DLCs that don't exist)...
The fact management blame us for “having” to fire Devs, when you know damn well they’ll still get their big cheques and fat bonuses for Christmas is the most outrageous part of all of this. They have enough monetisation paths to make money and they still complain. The executives couldn’t take one hit to their earnings to try salvage their PR and the company. It’s sad to see
Basically , it’s become a vessel for microtransactions. A microtransaction hell masquerading as a first person shooter game.
@@beastmode1915 , the fact that some guys in the suits have the nerve to blame US for their own fuck up and complain about makes me flabbergasted.
If I could speak to them I would ask them this:
-How low can you possibly be? What makes you think that I owe you something? I treat you the way you treat me. And since you treat me like a cashgrab, manipulate me and do not take my feeling into account when making or ruining something, don't expect me to stick out my neck, when you've done nothing but suck me dry.
A bunch of little bitches is who they are.
@@beastmode1915that’s late stage capitalism from for you.
Stop supporting them. Like.. Now.
It’s depressing to know that we as a community can never win against bungie. We voted with our wallets and the people who opposed the company got kicked out. How are they going to make the expansion we deserve when they lack the manpower and resources they had years ago?
I’ll still stick around for the final shape but that’s it. Destiny will go down as the game that could have been so much more but was always held back because management couldn’t do their job properly.
yea, same. I'll play the dungeon in season of the wish, and I'll play final shape, because I've already paid for both of those.
but I don't plan to actually buy season of the wish, and I don't plan to play much destiny 2 at all anymore.
corporate money-grubbing yet again ruins art.
I completely agree imagine how big the game could’ve been if the devs weren’t held back by management. I’ve been playing Destiny since House of Wolves and it was one of my very first games but I felt like a part of a small community compared to the likes of Call of Duty or Fortnite. Nevertheless I still loved the game, I only wish that the devs had more freedom to build upon this game it could surpassed itself 10 fold and could’ve become as popular as Fortnite or Minecraft. But I guess we’ll never know since Bungie always finds a way to shoot itself in the foot one way or another 😔
Amen
I bailed before the last expansion came out, haven't played since. I'm basically just watching the dumpster fire at this point, been doing that for what feels like a year or close to it now.
We did vote with our wallets, content creators are no exception to it. They buy cosmetics just like many others, we buy the dungeon keys and many seem to buy the event cards. The game we have now is a result of people voting with their wallets.
Destiny is definitely not short staffed, usually a studio for a single game if 50-150 people (200) made bg3. Destiny alone has 650 after the layoffs, if anything the game will be easier to manage with less bloat
Bungie has burned too many bridges at this stage, the community is tired and apathetic towards the game, no matter what happens that trust and loyalty is gone.
But does the community care? Not a single bit. They'll keep cracking open their wallets in preparation for the next season. They'll keep on buying themselves dry. Like it or not, the cold hard facts are that, while the community is passionate, the only thing they have passion for is prepping themselves to get shafted by the suits in Bungie's offices.
unless final shape is really good i doubt i will be buying it
@@sopcannonsame. I don't think I'll ever buy everything with the name "Bungie" onto it.
I feel bad for all the devs forced to follow the commands of their CEO. Destiny has so much potential that gets shut down by corporate greed. It's sad.
It's like business being centered around the autocratic decision making of a single or small group of people at the top naturally leads to those at the top eventually prioritizing their own profits and wellbeing over everyone else. Because they get to make the decisions.
Forced? C'mon, God has endowed people with free will. If there were Bungie workers backing the community sentiment, they should have voiced it publicly and make it known now. Otherwise, all of the people still at Bungie are complicit in the horrible state the game is in now.
@@terrancecloverfield6791 You should look up the word "coercion." You do what you're told or you're fired.
It might help explain a couple things. Work places, and game development studios especially these days, are constantly outed as having toxic work environments. Work environments where people are expected to stay so long doing so much with such high expectations that their personal lives degrade to nothing. They essentially become work slaves at the threat of firing; too afraid to speak out lest their livelihoods get suddenly severed. Like what just happened at bungie.
@@terrancecloverfield6791 You go ahead and try to speak back to your boss once you get a job, see how that turns out for you.
Most of these employees had nowhere else to go. It's not like they had a backup job waiting for them.
Late stage capitalism babyyyy
The also depressing side is that so much things can be done with a world like destiny and we got just the same enemies with some variations
Lol they even cut the lore before releasing D1, do you think they give any actual fuck to create proper content? Still, if player are willing to pay for a game with near to none content is not really bungie's fault.
I’m gonna give my own take.
I’ve been with Destiny since Forsaken, I never got to experience anything before that, no Warmind or Curse or anything, but Forsaken will always stick out to me as a pinnacle of DLC content.
I have since left Destiny and fallen in favor with Warframe and what Digital Extremes has done for Warframe fans is amazing. They connect with the community, make jokes with them, allow them to be creative and have good clean fun.
It’s a shame that Bungie has let off some of their veteran staffers and has monetized the hell outta Destiny, but I will never forget the fun I had.
I played warframe before destiny 2 (joined during the season of the splicer) been playing d2 until season of the witch came out, really got boring. Bungie should be taking notes from DE.
Having played since D1 in September 2014, Forsaken was when Destiny was at its best. It wasn’t perfect but it was the best state of the game we have ever had. We always thought Activision was the bane of Bungie, Bungie said that Activision were limiting their creative freedom. It’s clear that statement was a lie. Bungie management is and has always been the issue I’m afraid.
Final shape will probably be a banger as this is the original Destiny cycle. Release a steaming pile of garbage>oh shit our game is going to die>release good content>repeat. They learned after forsaken how to really milk the player base. Release mildly adequate content(just enough for it to not be looked at horribly)>repeat.
Problem is the game is just stale. And nothing has changed. We have the same systems since shadowkeep. Mods, armor2.0, random weapons. Nothing ever changes.
Forsaken, taken king and rise of iron for me.
For me personally taken king just pips forsaken, as at that time I had a full team and was raiding week in week out, and it has given me some fond memories, some of my best in gaming over my 40 years.
@@jackkunasaki5044 That's the key with Warframe and Genshin Impact - yes, they can get grindy. Yes, you can get burned out. But if you burn out and take an extended break from the game, when you come back - instead of feeling like you've permanently missed so much, it's "wow I have so much to catch up on".
The key difference: Content and loot removal in Warframe and Genshin are minimal. Warframe vaults Primes and that's it for the most part, and even those get cycled through with reruns on a fairly predictable schedule.
With Destiny, if you take a break you find yourself with incredible time pressure to finish up some things before they are removed, or in some cases, whatever you missed is already gone forever.
@stevanhaire5300 the cycle is why lightfall feel, weird.
It was like they knew witch queen was so well recieved, they had to put a lackluster drop out to inflate the final shape more.
This would all be bad on its own; but the fact that this is all happening at the ‘end’ and all the angst associated with not really knowing how Destiny 2 will proceed after the final shape has really put this directly in our faces.
The Final Shape will be successful. I've heard too many abused girlfriends run back to their abusive boyfriend Bungie saying "We've got so much history, I might as well sleep with him one last time."
Haha bingo
It’s weird for me because i usually don’t care and spend my money anyways but even i’m over this crap game💀
D2's playerbase suffers from Stockholm Syndrome like ive never seen before.
Some may call this 'milking' but I'm glad he made this video because the community just had collective amnesia of the last 2 weeks because of the Season of the Witch ending, and are now frothing at the mouth to spend on Season of the Wish.
This just proves that no matter how many people talk about the shit bungie do and continue to do, bungie can cough and people will start simping for them all over again
That’s the destiny community for ya it’s the reason bungie have gotten away with a lot of this stuff for so long
I'm pretty sure people do keep what bungie did in mind and there ain't much we can do about it or people just like the game. I on a personal note do remember what bungie did but won't let that ruin the game for me
U can enjoy the universe the lore and the content u already paid for without forgetting what was going on the last weeks! Im not shitting on all the people that worked hard for this season, the secrets, the lore, etc. I wish everyone who already paid for it plays the hell out of the dlc to pay a tribute to all the great people who worked on the game with passion and so they (management) think they got it again and then the community just drops the game to show them they fucked with us the last time and they can final shape themselves lol
Yeah, I'm not hyped personally. My attention is directed towards FFXIV's Dawntrail expansion coming in summer 2024. At least with that, I'll have plenty of knowledge to decide on getting it or not.
Bungie meanwhile releases a trailer, gives us barely anything of knowledge, then says "now go pre-order. If you don't, we'll gaslight you into feeling bad."
Just listen to the players and give them what they want, how hard is that? You get your money, we get our fun and ongoing support to the game.
if the devs are allowed to make decisions, the game might have been completely different but they don't and those sleezy upper management don't care about what you want, all they care about is how much they can make from the playerbase.
This is true, look at FFXIV for proof of this. Since the devs listen to the community, the game has continued to flourish even in 2023. Destiny 2 though? Ehhhhhh I personally think it's too late. Bungie higher-ups have shown that they only care about our money instead of what we desire from the game
You’re a fool. It doesn’t work like that because not everyone plays, thinks, and wants the same thing
Its so many players that want something different. Its very hard to please everyone and with each update or fix or bungie giving players what they want, there are always still players that complain about the changes and still aren’t satisfied. I wish players would understand that its a game meant for everyone and not just a personalized experience just for them, also its bungies game and they start off making it the way they would like for it to be based on their skill in video game creating. I dont think theres a definitive answer but I feel the comments can be toxic and if you have a difference of opinion on reddit or whatever you get attacked to obscurity and that also increases the split within the community and makes players leave, also some of the elites that poop on others because they beat so and so easily or the players that think the game is easy so normal mode should be hard etc further blocking newer players or casuals from playing the game when the majority of destiny are casuals. Maybe one day the community can try and compromise with bungie and compromise with other players and just try to enjoy the game for what it is, because its not a bad game at all especially compared to alot of other shooters and modern games and you get exactly what you pay for without any loot box rng bs like most other games. I feel that the amount of love players have for the game is so much that its become somewhat toxic to the point that they feel they have to have it their way or itd the highway and thats just not how a shared space works at all.
Aztecross and You have truly hit the bullseye on this topic.
I’ve been playing since Beta D1.
It’s more than a game for most because of the social aspect of this game.
Destiny and the community has literally helped me through some of the roughest years in my life.
Fantastic support from so many.
Sadly with all of this Chaos going on with Bungie’s CorporateClowns that has also been compromised.
No more help your neighbor.
It’s becoming cold and a survival of the fittest in my experience.
I don’t want to even preorder for the first time ever. Truly Saddening.
Best Wishes. Adore your content.
Has Has
a classic meme at this point
You made some of the best videos on top moments in Destiny 2 and I thank you for that. I also realize why you have to make variety content (other fav Destiny 2 streamers have been doing that or are about to). That you're still going to do more Destiny 2 content makes me glad and I look forward to seeing it. As a final note, I love that you had playing in the background, one of my favorite Destiny 2 tracks from the first season, "The Farm".
Wife and I stopped playing after we did all things witch queen. We did try lightfall and didn't stick with it. did the legendary campaign but that was it. We just jumped back in to run through the season of the witch and check out the new season. We're actually enjoying it again!
Awesome dude. Slay those enemies and enjoy. Seeing the new season kinda has me want to play again.
hell yeah!
@@evanf1997 oh evan btw great video ty for the work you put it on youtube in general its great. Creators like you, cross, and byf make me still enjoy this game greatly. I also just cant pass up on the way the game feels with its gameplay
Evan, how dare you make me tear up about destiny coming to its death. This entire time after light fall, i have stepped back and been playing games that i have enjoyed. I was mad at the management at bungie for all the lay offs but overall laughed in the face of the game knowing the pain would finally be over. But you mention how we as a community have overcame every challenge before and still stuck around, and it hit hard. I've been in this community since the very beginning, when i was 14 y/o, so it has been my everything from teenage into my adult years. Is gonna suck losing everything we've built together.
One thing I feel is missing is something like the reveal of the dreaming city. You just bust through an absolute banger of a campaign that Forsaken was with how interesting the tangled shore is building off the reef from D1, then bam out of nowhere a massive patrol space where the end game of the expansion took place. Went from a pretty good DLC to something remarkable and more importantly, memorable.
i listened to this while playing overwatch and your outro song played as the game showed my 5 piece as genji, and i dont think i've ever felt more badass
I said it then in season of arrivals that sunsetting would be a major issue and fundamentaly change destiny for the worse and it has what was there has gone and some good things have come in its place but it's still missing things ...ever growing in potential yet coming up short even when coming close ....I love the game but the suits will kill it if they don't watch out let's just say there's never been a delay or lack in eververse
I actually miss season of arrivals, the last time I can remember I had any kind of fun at all in the game
@Anime_._Fan I'm telling you Sword Metaaaaa
and yet no good enough alternative solutions were suggested back then and even now.
Destiny players constantly crave a reason to do x thing to get x weapon and if they already have some similar they dont care.
So cool you made a nice call before sunsetting. How about trying to share solutions instead.
@lightningjuniorsuper what no solutions you heard or what bc that's all I heard for years is ideas ...the game back then was closer to great then now even with the lack of quality of life stuff we have now...but that's the solution there bud bring back what we have lost in some ways hell it doesn't really matter they won't do anything that the suits don't see lots of money in but the point is this game has been heading in a bad direction for many years and has gotten away from what made d1 and d2 great ....now they've made some good things since but they got to decide what's next bc most ppl are quitting post final shape even if it's a banger ....us destiny ppl been here playing the game everyday for years and something so good is shame to let waste away I mean we could play warframe it's fun enough but doesn't have the same feel ...or maybe fortnite how about that or maybe modern warfare or any of the other popular games out there.....destiny has something alot of other games don't and it hasn't changed ...alot of potential
@@joelledbetter2926cut it out with all that elipsis it does nothing to articulate your points. You also didnt answer his question
Every time I hear any destiny 2 soundtrack, all my hairs stand up and I get so many nostalgic flashes of my favorite times in destiny 2. It's honestly a great feeling, through thick and thin I hope I'll be able to play another game like this in my lifetime (or work on making one ;).
Great video man as a returning player I am finding myself just grinding old content for the pure fun aspect! Keep up the good work!
Evan, I needed to hear that from ya. I'm here until the end, I gotta see it through.
Been loving the zombies vids, to the point I’ve been itching to pick the older games up to play through them 🖤
Destiny isnt like other games. Most of what you're going to take from all this is the wonderful experience and memories. There isnt anything you really get to keep from it. If your time was enjoyed, it wasnt wasted.
Love all the vids even the non destiny videos always interested in other games that I also play/played
10:40 this hit me home because I do this all the time when I’m playing 😂😂😂
I haven’t played at all this season and it’s been great
I’m sad that the game is dying out, but not stressing about it anymore was the right choice
I haven’t played even played lightfall yet at all
I've played Destiny since Destiny 1 released and this it for me. I will continue to follow Evanf, Byf, Mylan, Aztacross, Houndish, Khakis, Lucky, Datto, and Fallout but I will no longer support Bungie. This is a cycle and cycles don't end they have to be broken or they will just continue. Bungie is set in their ways and to change now is about as likely as a person just waking up one day and deciding to do everything in their life completely differently. It just doesn't happen we are creatures of habit and unfortunately greed it's how we evolved to survive.
Well said.
I fell back in love with this game after taking a LONG break.... sucks to see everyone not feeling the same
its the same for me. i left after i finished everything in forsaken. came back 3weeks ago and now all this stuff happens :(
❤thanks mr E, soo much going on this last leg ofD2
I don't want to lose Destiny at all period
Me neither. It really hurts my very soul that this is what its come to
I'm sad, my love for destiny is fully gone. Every activity just felt hollow after a while, and it hurts because i want to love this game. The layoffs were just the final straw for me to let go and not look back. Ik I've come damn far to give up this close to the end but i don't see anything bringing that spark back to the game for me.
Same here. Final Shape is the first expantion i didnt preorder and has no plans to currently buy.
You and me both
Man, Destiny will always have a special place in my heart. I've been a player since D1 vanilla, met friends along the way, played religiously, and banked thousands of hours. There's this spark in D1 that is missing in D2. I played D2 since the beta, stopped after the Osiris and Warmind expansions, then returned months after the launch of the Forsaken expansion. I took a long break, on and off into the game, played regularly during the Witch Queen expansion, and stopped at its last season Pre-Lightfall. Though I stopped playing D2, the news about Bungie was really depressing because it affects the game we and the community love, especially the devs who put their hearts and lives into this game.
Evan is really like the light that never stops glowing i cant feel anything other than hope when he talks about the game, thank you even for making this dreadful time better.
Many people have said it, but I'll repeat it. The end of Destiny will not be a competitive game to take its players, it will be apathy (aka, a lack of interest, enthusiasm, or concern).
For years we have dealt with crap, but we have always had the energy/interest to make a fuss and ask Bungie to "fix the game". But with each time bad stuff happened, apathy grew. Now, we have had 6 + years of this cycle, and apathy has only gone up slowly over that time as issues/drama has ALWASE happened every year even during the best expansions.
So all of that, stacked up with the recent news is just reaching the breaking point. When the players don't even have the energy or desire to ask Bungie to fix/improve the game, that's when the game ends. And with so many people saying they are done after Final Shape, we might be to that point.
What really hurts is the fact that people who really really enjoyed this game didn't see or admit the faults, and the moment something finally snapped or their eyes were finally opened, they abandon it and gave up all hope. I always knew Bungie wasn't squeaky clean, I always knew something could happen at any moment. I have constantly had my up and downs with video games over the years, and I prayed that Destiny wasn't one of the games to fall. I still strongly believe in Destiny and the community, I believe in the devs and those who work at Bungie that want the game to remain a universe of fun and adventure. I will never support those who seek to harm or insult any single person (no matter how greedy or scummy they are) who is associated with this game. I dreamed of being a content creator who could make content with and on Destiny and stay with it until the end of the line. I'm personally not giving up on Destiny, I don't see this as an end, I see this as a direction, a direction I have no idea where it may take us or what may be ahead, the game could die, the game could thrive. No matter what happens, I will stick with Destiny and I will keep riding along side it's journey until the very end. I have seen Destiny at it's worst and I have seen it at it's best, I believe we can recover from this. If you want to give up or leave, then do so, but if you are sticking around, don't lose hope, don't believe that it has to end like this, I want this game to grow and succeed and I believe that the people who do remain still have passion and hope for the game.
Just my thoughts, just my words.
Here here. I also hope this will be a wake up call to those higher up that they've screwed up big time and decide to let the devs cook up something grand: for us as players who want Destiny to shine and themselves as developers making a game they want to make and play themselves
Many people and content creators who love this game and have passion for it have pointed out faults actually, and have told us that this has been coming.
@@deac542 Unfortunately there are quite a lot of people who don't actively listen to content creators or pay attention to what they are actually saying. Even if they did watch a video on it, they may not believe it or see the bigger picture. The problem is also this: you can never predict or know when something like this is going to happen, it was a possibility, but many people didn't want it to happen, therefore many people just assumed or believed that it couldn't and that it wouldn't. I strongly believed in Bungie, even after LF launched. My faith and hope in Bungie isn't as strong as it once was, but I instead am wanting them to seek redemption and to prove to us that the direction they are going in, is one that favors both the community and devs. Only time will really tell, hopefully more people will listen and give a chance for them to grow again, but at the same time, I hope people will learn from this and realize how complex both game development and corp work can be.
10:40 thats gotta be a pure chill reference
This feels like a farewell Destiny video
I miss when they made games they want to play
I been here sense day one and I even stayed on and didn't leave at all and I'll continue to grind I agree and disagree with somethings and looking forward to the 15 wish 👍
Same
Same
That was the first time I heard that much of the outro, and it was amazing. That little bit of Gladd talking bullshit is what everyone needed!
Thank you for everything Evan
The soul reason why Forsaken was as big as it was is in part because Bungie had the backing of Activision, mainly Vicarious Visions and High Moon Studios helping them the entire time. So you essentially had 3 studios working on Destiny during that time.
Bungie, as a solo studio now, can never give us another Forsaken unless by some miracle, Sony gives them some support studios to help them out, which doesn't seem to be the case as of now or Bungie undergoes some ungodly amount of crunch overtime between now and it's release.
As ambitious and content heavy people want the Final Shape to be, it's not going to be comparative to Forsaken.
I could be wrong but we will see.
3 studios for Forsaken just like TTK in D1. At this point Bungie just need to make Destiny 3 with a shitty year 1 and a massive banger in year 2. Then repeat the process for Destiny 4 ahah
12:55 God I'd love it if Pocket Infinity returned. Still waiting on the day Ice Breaker returns... Would legit, without a second thought, buy their mini-dlc during season wish to Final Shape if it had Ice Breaker as the focused exotic like Gjallarhorn was to 30th.
Bungie, you need to break the ice sooner or later, and I suggest Ice Breaker.
"Final Sale"
Good one
I was a destiny 2 player when it first launched, I’m a warlock main and I was into the story, I wanted my character to have a storyline of his own adventure but with the paywalls that blocked the story and lore, my character is lost in a loophole….now I don’t play it anymore still I have my character with me to this day and remember all the fun and challenging times in destiny 2, I love and hate the game and….I’m going to miss so much of it by a another paywall but that’s ok, that least my character had a fun journey.
Since the last month I'm playing more Halo Infinite, bro 343 doing good with all community, thanks to forge the players are making crazy game modes and maps, bro can play Mario Kart, Duck Hunt or COD Zombies on Infinite and 343 decided to turn on the XP gain inside creation community games, that's all we wanted, have fun with others and rank up the season pass through everything.
Meanwhile Bungie is slowly killing this community I'm part of since TTK, I feel feel lost, everytime I wanna play the first thing I do is to see if Mayhem is around, crucible is not fun to me and only play when Mayhem is on, Gambit is dead to me, not doing a single game since Beyond Light and strikes are bored, the things I liked are no more, where is Escalation Protocol or Menagerie, even the Haunted Forest was more fun than that crap of Horror Lost Sector, we player were begging to have SRL and what Bungie did? All fun activities were vaulted, Reverly was a fun event and Bungie killed it, they destroy everything fun because leadership want Destiny to be a "competitive" game, hard and challenging.
That's why Halo is more fun to me, 343 did what Bungie's management never did, listen their community.
Sorry If I cant's write as good, I'm learning english, greetings from Mx.
I’m tired of content creators speaking for the community. They don’t actually speak for anyone but themselves
Ya sure man d2 was just fine when it came out
If you’re not tired of this game you’re just addicted and coping.
Just let people play the game.
Yeah they don't speak for literally everyone but they speak for the majority of the community
So why are you here?
That outro song is wilddd ha
“The final sale, I mean shape” 😂😂
Used to play the game so much. I remembered playing destiny so much. Like so-so much. Seeing this unique world of magic space wizards that had guns. Weird bug aliens. But, after witch queen, before the expansion afterward. I saw the price for light fall. the price now on steam? It’s so much money. How come each expansion is fifty bucks? Especially for expansions with at least or feeling at least. Five hours of content. Just, it’s sad. Like it’s just so disappointing how such potential, memories of playing the raids and dungeons go to waste.
You know what? I think they can do it. I think that they will pull through and make this miracle happen. And I believe that this…. Will make history
No matter what way this goes, it will make history. Either Bungie somehow manages to bring everything back and keep the game alive despite everything that happened, or they fail spectacularly and go down with the legacy of a company that had something good, and proceeded to burn it at the stake. No in-between, they either pull off a miracle or die as a shell of their former self.
It was a fun ride. Sad that I won’t see how it ends. Maybe I’ll read about it.
It's been a wild ride together, man, I'm going to miss these days. Heck, I'm already nostalgic xD
The destiny community is like a someone in a one sided relationship. Always wanting the other to try as hard as you are but they just don't care!
It’s honestly a shame to see what became of this game, I left years ago around Witch Queen, but to witness all the wasted potential in a game I made so many countless memories in is heartbreaking
Nothing has changed. It hasn’t “become” anything less or worse
Yeah ive went back to being a Tenno like i was before i became a guardian and honestly im much happier
I bought the season pass prior to Lightfall. Somewhere in the Pirate season I ran yet another campaign where I just chased after a group of people just shooting mobs and there was no fun in it. I just shut it down. I only logged on briefly after Lightfall. I was having to juggle all my inventory, and couldn’t join my friend in most activities withou buying. it just sucked all the fun out. I have never turned it back on. We will find other stuff to play.
I has has HAS eNoUgH !!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂
Has had*
I still remember playing Forsaken, I didn't grind it out, I was pretty casual, and I didn't follow content creators at the time.
I just remember thinking it was a pretty decent expansion, and as soon as I thought it was about over I discovered the Dreaming City.
It was a good surprise.
my guardians light faded in beyond light.
I gotta be honest, I... I wasn't expecting that outro music lmao
I loved Destiny. I called in sick to play the D1 beta. I've been here through so much. Raids, dungeons, clans, Telesto. I miss being excited about this game. I miss feeling like Bungie could do no wrong and genuinely listened to and cared about us. I want to see this through, but God Idk if I can shell out more money to just continue to be disappointed and suffer from seasonal burn out. Regardless of Destiny's future, I'll follow this channel through it. And I hope, more then anything, that the FS can bring us ALL back to the game that brought us together in the first place.
D1 was the pinnacle ! Doing weekly activities and raids nothing like it ! I remember losing my shit when I got icebreaker in vault ! Loot mattered back then !
I'm not among the number of quitters who simply give up when times get tough, I'm here for the long haul. D1 vet, here til the final shape and heresay and opinions aren't enough to change my passion for a game I love
This is the first time in my entire life I've seen one of my favorite games be mentioned from my childhood(Oni), and it's to refer to how long some of these employees that were laid off have been around. That's so sad.
I started my Destiny journey near the end of season 18. From there I fell in love with the game. Now, it feels like I'm dealing with the loss of another of my favorite games. I'm not ready to hang up my ghost and leave the vanguard. I'm just not. But now with everything going wrong at Bungie, I may have no choice. I've been playing these last few days thinking to myself "This is it. The end of another amazing virtual world. Best enjoy whats left...". Honestly, it hurts so much. But that's life I guess.
Same brother
I'm a Veteran player here, played since the D1 beta. It just hurts when one of my all time favorite games get butchered by corporate greed. I'm still on Destiny 1 and I am having a blast taking a New Light through his first Destiny experience, and it has been an absolute blast. Take care Guardians, we only have each other now
I miss being able to jump in and goof off with my friends. All my friends left the game a wile ago and I left sometime last year. I'd get back in but I have nothing to go back to.
I dropped D2 about 2 years ago, but I jumped into D1 a few weeks ago. And I'm having a great time.
I agree, the final shape better be a banger! I have been in the community since Vanilla destiny. It has been a few years now since I have raided religiously. I have seen my clans fall apart. I play now, sporadically. I hope that the final shape is a banger to go out on. My condolences go out to all those who lost their job at bungie. I will play this out but I will not pre order. I wait to see what is to come.
The Final Shape will be Destiny 2’s: The Rise of Skywalker. “Somehow Cayde-6 has returned.”
Evan what is the song that you play at the end? It always gets stuck in my head
Wow. Great video.
I just miss the game I loved so much for so long…
I was there d1 day 1 no breaks until I quit after Beyond light campaign and 9 clears of DCS.
Honestly, I started playing when Forsaken released, I purchased the expansion in addition to the year 1 expansions. My dad has played the game since like D1 beta, same as the friend whom got me into the game. I played the D2 beta but never really got into it until Forsaken/Year 2. Story wise, I didnt mind the year 1 expansions; They felt as though they actually gave me backstory that introduced locations and characters that could be found in loads of content (until they were removed). Things like the infinite forest or the recurring themes of warminds were ever present in the story up until even the latest expansions. I remember sitting near my dad and watching him struggle to clear Crota's End in D1, then being able to be a part of the first clear of it in D2 myself. This game has brought a lot to me personally, but some time around Lightfall, or maybe even before, I just couldn't anymore. Im happy, im sad, im confused.
I have been playing since D1 beta been through thick and thin but after final shape I honestly know if I can keep going, bungie needs to prove themselves
Soooo glad I dropped this game a month in bro y’all in some deep shit as a community
I knew things were getting bad when I came back to the game the other today to find my annual pass that I paid $100 for was refunded. Not only that, but to find out that its happening to other people?? Idk how something like that happens but something has really got to change.
I played from the beta of D1 and i walked away after all of this i cant do it anymore i miss how good it used to be its sad to see it die like it is
I have been with destiny since it came out in 2014. Created so many awesome memories and friendships. I am sadden to see go because of bad management. Let see what happens next year.
i miss destiny 1 back in middle school 🥲
I stopped playing destiny after lightfall, I love destiny 2 but it just feels hollow like somebody ripped out the beating heart and im clinging on to a dead corpse hoping for its revival. Thats the feeling Destiny 2 gives me now and I'm truly sad about it...
I used to play destiny consistently for months before I would take a break but now I’m at the point where I only come back to play destiny when the yearly major expansion comes out and even then I only really play for a half a season before getting bored again. And I find it kinda sad that it’s ended that way for me since I’ve been playing since house of wolves from destiny 1.
This past seasons dungeon key was the nail in the coffin, I came back and spent enough money on all the passes and expansions, just was like, this shiznit is endless
I miss the feeling of first exploring the cosmodrome in d1, there’s just something different abt it
Played destiny from the beta on PS3 and bought the very first white destiny PS4 bundle at launch day it was my first bungie game and yeh it took over my life I'd grind strike's solo or with randoms because it was the one way to match make and meet other players at the time I met players made lifelong friends and made unforgettable memories i can remember like yesterday running around crucible with the vex just melting people it was so much fun
I never bought in-game transactions until destiny's lost event were you got those really kool skins and because I'd invested time I didn't think twice about investing in destiny
Then d2 came and yeh everything changed (or didn't change) d2 just felt like a hollow shell of destiny 1 somehow the magic was gone and so was my love for destiny 2
10+ years on I still miss destiny I have an emotional attachment to that game I always think of coming back just to see how it ends and maybe one day I will .
The one thing that drove me away from destiny was greed and unbelievable ignorance of puke smith.
So it looks as if things haven't changed and it was all bungies greed and not so much Activision
Poor Sony I bet they wish they never bought bungie
I’m glad I got my crota ring, it will forever be a testament to the times I’ve enjoyed destiny. I didn’t leave because of drama or even the state of the game! for me I grew up and had to have help from the love of my life section me off from the game because of depression, that and i just didn’t have the time because of my job, But I know I’m finishing the fight when final shape drops despite whatever issues it may have. Destiny changed my life and quite possibly saved it too.
I started all the way back at the launch of D1, played all the way through to Rise of Iron. Got D2, played through to the end of Season of Opulence, and then just didn't care. When Destiny went f2p, I was excited at first. I'd be able to bring my friends in that didn't want to spend the money, and we could all have fun. But sunsetting soured so much, I bought shadowkeep and felt robbed, I wanted to keep playing, but since it was *another* battlepass to keep track of now, I decided to play other games.
I come back to this, and well, I guess I don't regret leaving. Doesn't seem like I missed anything worth staying for.
just bought the first destiny game for the Xbox along with all DLC loving playing through destiny 1 again.
(originally played on PS4)
We love you too Evan
I knew this day would come. It's sad that's it's here.
still waiting for the LFG function,,, we all thought would come along with Lightfall .... but that was before we knew it was just something the higher ups wanted ... but was impossible to get into the engine :p
9:47 wait, THATS YOUR ALT CHANNEL? ive been watching it without knowing it, whoopsies.
I think destiny will make a major come back and deliver I have not given up on my favorite game yet I have faith I've been around since d1 and have not given up on Bungie
Bro got a exotic memento from season of the dawn 🤯
It’s crazy because I only came back to see how it all ends 😂😂😂
