Take a shot every time this shill says something is the highest point in destiny history or that something is "unique" about "talk to projector/talk to person in room/talk to projector again" exotic "quests". You will die of alcohol poisoning.
Destiny 1's artstyle is still peak of the series, imo. Especially vanilla. Guns, armor, environments, enemies... all of it, the best art Destiny has ever put out.
yeah, wish they kept the original art design going forward, it was honestly perfect- lighting, enemies, music, everything was refined to a peak. destiny 2's design really shit the bed at first; all the classes looked like offbrand jrpg versions of themselves but it got better over time. love the vibe and design of d2 from beyond light onward, though i don't think it's as good as d1's. those skyboxes- mmpgh
There will never be a Game like Destiny again, just hearing the signature Music from D1, seeing all the Old Stuff, hearing you talking about Things we ALL just experienced and loved......oh Boy this Game is One of its Kind. Thank you for bringing back old Feelings, pure Love and the best Experience i ever had in a Game. Not to mention, the People i met and got Friends with since then.
Gameplay yea but lore nah if this was entirely lore we’d be here for months Life if we looked at literally every lore story in a timeline 5 hours is a joke and would probably only be like 1% of all lore So I’d say it’s 10 years super summed up in 5 hours
Destiny. What is there to say. I have loved this game for 10 years since I was 14, I played through highschool, now I still play in my adult life. From Dinklebot, to some wizards coming from the moon, getting that first exotic. To losing everything in the red War, losing a friend with Cayde, forgiving and accepting new ones. These games will always have a special place in my heart next to Halo, bungie raised me, I hope for a bright future. And so, Eyes up guardian, Destiny Awaits.
I was 14 in 2016 when I first started with Destiny: The Taken King and became hooked on the franchise! Been playing Destiny 1 & 2 up until 2023 because I had to focus on nursing school, and it’s crazy seeing how much has changed! These games will always have a special place in my heart. Hoping to jump back in soon and see all the new content and lore I missed out on! Phenomenal work put into this video, buddy!
I started playing Destiny from day 1. After my move from Xbox 360 to PS4, Destiny was the first game I picked up. Through the ups, downs and everything in-between, I'm glad to have experienced Destiny and Destiny 2. I could never love/hate a game as much as I do. Thank you Bungie for creating the disaster masterpiece. Thank you to Shadow Destiny for the content. Thank you (also sorry) to all the Guardians that I have played with over the years. ❤
Final Shape was my last hoorah in Destiny I think I might be done for good I was so happy to be apart of this community for 10 years. Thank you for the memories I love you all.
I've been living in Warframe for the past two months and tbh, the grind in that game for loot and gear sends me back to D1 days. It's excruciating but so rewarding when you're done. I was missing that feeling through D2 for a long time, ngl.
Destiny's never going to get back that feeling because they went completely away from the fantasy side of the inspiration and we've been playing the game for a decade. Once people have played a game for so long, the magic of the beginning is lost forever, so stop trying to get back what you never can. And, for the umpteenth time, we get the gear to play the game, we don't play the game to get the gear. I have infinitely more fun using the things I wanna play with than mindlessly grinding for an RNG drop to not bend me over.
@ThatFalloutGod Yeah but a lot more people would play a Destiny 3. There's no way in hell to convince most people to even come back on a fresh account much less start playing now for the first time.
Destiny 1 holds such a special place in my heart. There was this feeling of awe and mystery that for me is still unmatched to this day. Unfortunately D2 failed to hook me in the same way, so I can't say I experienced it fully.
I started playing late on Lightfall. Destiny throughout the years always stuck in the back on my head, friends and coworkers always told me to play. Since every FPS game in the industry is shit, the only game That was left to try was Destiny. As a new player is rough but once you pass that first phase, the grind and getting them exotics trust you gonna be hooked. Destiny is like that high school sweetheart that when things go rough out there and nobody likes you, you could always come back to her and play.
Thanks for this video. This game has done me a huge amount of gaming in me I’ve ever had done before. Meet some people from that game and made soo much memories too. 10 years is crazy to think that it went by fast. Thanks again. 🙏🏼
Bro, how the hell do you manage to run 3 channels, pump out quality content small and big AND play the game... 🤯 we don't even talk about this strange thing called RL. I will watch this one, like a mini series "Season 1, E1-5 Shadow's Destiny". One of the best content creators 🤌 Keep it up!
Greatest mistake imo was allowing exotics and legendary become such a frequent drop in game. We lost that incredible sense of achievement that we had in Destiny 1 Alpha and Beta. Exotic loot is just far too common in game now. The whole game just caters to casuals now. There used to be serious challenge in completing a nightfall, but power creep now has this being so easy to do alone or especially in a group. But by far the largest downfall this game saw was the heavy introduction of micro transactions with Eververse. In Destiny 1 Eververse was only a few items, while everything else could be farmed in game, during special events etc. Now Eververse is where all the efforts are made, the store is massive now, and no longer can we really earn anything free for ourselves playing the game, even events stop rewarding items and instead sold them. This game lost its vision of its player base, and centers around pure greed these days. Shame Bungie never learned that while we got things free, this meant we were more inclined to want to spend on an Eververse item. Forcing us now pushed so many including myself away 😞
I’m enjoying final shape but Destiny’s vibe and atmosphere peaked with Destiny 1. The final shape feels so different as a universe when compared to what was set up in D1. Less grand in scale, a lot less interesting of a universe and more of a shallow soap opera with mediocre characters. The music isn’t as inspired as it was in D1, the worlds and locations aren’t as interesting… Maybe I’m just getting old or maybe destiny truly did change but I miss the way Destiny used to be.. before Destiny 2 sort of “soft rebooted” the tone and look and then Beyond Light changed things further
You deserve the respect of the whole community for that project. I am blown away by the size, dedication and detail of this video. Much respect. Really good Work.❤
@@chrisvda88 if bungie ceases to exist so does destiny mate. There is no appetite for d2 or d3 without bungie i assure you. There’s too much of a die-hard audience. And don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying the game couldn’t be better without bungie nowadays, but the game would not hold playerbase were it off the back of the dissolution of bungo. I am about 95% sure now that it’s not only the end of destiny, but it’s also the end of bungie, and it’s really sombre mate
@@Liamo051 i think that sony have to take the lead. Bungie isn't the same bungie of 10 years ago. They need to go back to their "original story", they have a ton of things that aren't yet explored and those things can add story for at least other 10 years. Sony should keep a few people, then replace the others with people who really care about this saga, workers that know what they do. And most important, Fire pete
They took Joseph Staten’s Story and flushed it down the toilet at the last minute.. Mind you Joseph Staten wrote every single Halo Game, so they thought his story for D1 was bad, 🤣😂
It's disarming to see in full context just how many times over the years Destiny SHOULD have been over, with things that should have made us all legitimately uninstall, let it die like it clearly wanted to, and never look back.
"I don't have time to explain why I don't have time to explain". D1's story was a car crash at times but it was so much fun to play. I remember my first VoG run. The raids were great. The players kept breaking the game and that just added to the enjoyment. D2 stories have varied in quality but the lack of added content in crucible, the reuse of D1 weapons and maps and the lack of any mention of D3 have all been depressing, to say the least. They had a great franchise in their hands and have managed to screw it up. Thanks for a great video.
You must have tier 10 resilience irl to make a video like this considering the state of Destiny atm. Must’ve taken tons of time and effort, much respect.
I randomly saw the beta at 13 years old in the playstation store, downloaded it and fell absolutely in love. I preordered and watched that clock tick down. A week into release I met a fella who introduced me to his new clan he was trying to start. The rest is history.
It took me 4 days to actually watch this entire video, and all I have to say is destiny will always be a part of my life, I’m so glad my dad bought me this game back in 2014 (Ps. Thank you shadow destiny for always making absolute banging content I hope we get more in the future and if not thank you for the memories made in this video)
God I miss the destiny 1 launch. Always coming home from 8th grade, launching the game and going to the loot cave. I remember seeing the ice breaker for the first time and being so in awe. I asked the guy “how did you get that gun?” He said “the vault of glass raid.” Suddenly I became obsessed.
I finally managed to see this great video. Respect for the enormous effort you had to put into it. Despite its flaws, Destiny 2 will always have a place in my heart. I started playing at 15, when Destiny 2 had been out for almost 4 months. Everything was still new to me then and magical. Forsaken was definitely the peak of Destiny 2 for me, and that's when I played the most, but everything comes to an end; that's part of life.
"let's build a world where we can tell any great story we want. a place where millions of people will want to visit again and again, for the next 10 years and more" i think ya did it bud :')
Thanks for all the effort on this. So many good memories, and things I'd almost forgotten. 10 years is a long time to be actively playing a game, and this is a great reminder of how far we've come, grown and enjoyed (and hated!) the game. Really appreciate the effort capturing as much as you did!
The thing about the content drought in the taken king, I was 15. I was at school for most of my days, I really only played on the weekend, and Destiny wasn't the only game I played. I played a LOT of Destiny though, and I never felt the "content drought". No game can strive to be the ONLY game you play, and if you play a game for 8 weeks straight, that's honestly impressive
Taken King and Rise of Iron were peak gaming for me, not just peak Destiny. We will never be back there again because that vision has been lost. I’d swap frame rates for that 30fps goodness any day.
I am a 10 yaar veteran and now in my late 50s. I have a lot of fond memories as well as frustration with the Destiny franchise. So many elements were so good, some were terrible but i also enjoyed it. Maybe time to let it go until Sony create D3....
Amazing work shadow, you left no stone unturned. Thank you for taking us for a ride through all the nostalgia. This video is a way better introduction for new and returning players than the game itself
This is awesome!! I started in House of Wolves, so a lot of issues were ironed out by the time I started. But seeing everything about this game from early development to now is truly amazing.
Thank you so much for these videos. I was away from the game for a few years for school and watching these give me nostalgia I didnt know I had and this is so relaxing and fun.
Year 1 guardian started right before The Dark Below I many not play hardcore anymore but when a new expansion comes out I always jump back in at some point. I fell in love with this world and had some the best gaming experiences I’ve ever had!
2:16 so crazy to hear this and think back of those 10 years… coming back again and again. Many ups and downs but I’ve had my best gaming memories and met some of my best friends in that world. Hopefully Bungie can keep it going another 10. 🤞
I bought a year 1 disc copy of D1 and played a bit. Vanilla was rough, so I bought ttk. Its been nice to reexperience it, even tho my studies severely limit my playtime. Playing mayhem rumble was the funnest destiny pvp ive played in years. I was just having fun. The few that played too were chill and fun. I felt rusty, but kinda saw how rusty we all were... It was thrilling.
Excellent video and it was a pleasure to watch. That ending hit me unexpectedly hard, one day it will end and I think I'm going to look back fondly. Countless ups and downs but throughout all the years I've stuck with it and it has paid dividends. As you said here's to (hopefully) many years to come!
Took me a while to watch the whole video in 30 min bursts 😂. It is one of, if not THE BEST Destiny 2 fan made media in the history of the game. Thank you for recaping the story of the game from the beginning. I never played D1, as I never had a ps or xbox, but you (and evanf) make me wish i could've been there. This game is a really important part of my life. Thank you for, basically giving me a "foto album" of this wonderful game! 🤍
I think this was the last game that will ever be as hyped ever again. There is no game after this that has had such a reaction as this. It was a great time i must say
This just makes me….so fucking sad man, I wanna go back, I want to play destiny again. I can’t even help but kinda cry cuz what we’ve lost is so gut wrenching Also neat thing about sepiks prime’s soundtrack was recorded by a guitarist named misha mansoor, from the pretty big metal band periphery in which a couple members loved destiny
This video is amazing. It’s nice looking back and D1 and having all the memories from back then. I remember when the game was still new and I’d done a nightfall with my uncle and decrypted a legendary engram into the gjallahorn. Core memory from a legendary time.
Wow dude what a good freaking video it's so well thought out and so well written, definitely deserves more views enjoyed it very much cuz it brought back so many memories ❤️
I remember destiny 2 raid launch day. Everyone in the game wanted people to already know the raid. Making it impossible for people with no experience to do the raid. Still till the current day, I haven't been able to do a single raid cause of my learning disabity and brain fog. I believe the raid is the only thing I will never be able to do in my entire life.
what a banger. 5h of history. thanks for allowing me to relive much of my past. I lapsed out just before Lightfall I think, cant remember. I love D2 to bits, I just cant spend money on Pete. Also its way too bloated, I tried to pick it up again couple of weeks back and i got absolutely flooded by "buy this" popups. I checked my space map once, then quit and uninstalled. Rip Destiny. Rest well in our memories, F.

My takeaway from this video:
Fire Pete parson, that gross pig
Take a shot every time this shill says something is the highest point in destiny history or that something is "unique" about "talk to projector/talk to person in room/talk to projector again" exotic "quests". You will die of alcohol poisoning.
Destiny 1's artstyle is still peak of the series, imo. Especially vanilla. Guns, armor, environments, enemies... all of it, the best art Destiny has ever put out.
This, the armor and weapon models, are far better than d2 especially scout rifles.
Unfortunately all the "new enemy types" they have given us just feel too similar to each other. I can't really explain it.
@@redfin382 aren't they literally variations of old enemies. apart from tormentors and bats that is
@@MrCubassssPretty much 😂

There was never a game like destiny, they failed
The music, the way the controller shakes when using weapons.
D1 Will be the best.
D2 needs to put the d1 music back
10 year guardian here, this is the best D2 video I have ever watched. Oh the sweet nostalgia and memories. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
10 years in 5 hours.
Sounds like a D1 expansion
Gameplay yea but lore nah if this was entirely lore we’d be here for months
Life if we looked at literally every lore story in a timeline 5 hours is a joke and would probably only be like 1% of all lore
So I’d say it’s 10 years super summed up in 5 hours

That was the moment I truly got addicted to destiny.
It was an incredible feeling being hooked on a game 24/7 and nothing till this day has even come close to it
Real word no lie
Ninja explained @16:45 exactly what made Destiny amazing. They should have kept legendary gear hard to get and exotics extremely rare.
I just want them to add a mega rare tier above exotics. But yeah rarity is essentially meaningless in the modern game and it’s sad

Thank you for letting those 7 notes play out at 16:11, it takes me back every time.
Thanks for all the effort on this. So many good memories, and things I'd almost forgotten. 10 years is a long time to be actively playing a game, and this is a great reminder of how far we've come, grown and enjoyed (and hated!) the game. Really appreciate the effort capturing as much as you did!
Glad you enjoyed it!
You just had to be there… rewatched all the DLC’s trailers and they brought me to tears
The thing about the content drought in the taken king, I was 15. I was at school for most of my days, I really only played on the weekend, and Destiny wasn't the only game I played. I played a LOT of Destiny though, and I never felt the "content drought". No game can strive to be the ONLY game you play, and if you play a game for 8 weeks straight, that's honestly impressive
Taken King and Rise of Iron were peak gaming for me, not just peak Destiny. We will never be back there again because that vision has been lost. I’d swap frame rates for that 30fps goodness any day.
Damn dude, forgot Gambit used to be 2/3 rounds. God those matches were so long!!
This is comprehensive AF. Good work. Final Shape I think was my swan song with this game. Crazy 10 years.
I am a 10 yaar veteran and now in my late 50s. I have a lot of fond memories as well as frustration with the Destiny franchise. So many elements were so good, some were terrible but i also enjoyed it. Maybe time to let it go until Sony create D3....
Phenomenal vid... 5 HOURS???? We eating GOOD tonight! Can't imagine the amount of work that went into this. Kudos, bravo
❤❤❤
Amazing work shadow, you left no stone unturned. Thank you for taking us for a ride through all the nostalgia. This video is a way better introduction for new and returning players than the game itself
Thanks so much
Very well done. This is great not just for the vet players but for casuals like me. You should be very proud. 👏👏👏
The DCV backfired so bad that even I, a D1 veteran returnee, can't even recruit my other friends to play D2.
This is awesome!! I started in House of Wolves, so a lot of issues were ironed out by the time I started. But seeing everything about this game from early development to now is truly amazing.
Amazing work putting this all together man, I’m privileged to have been apart of it :)
Thanks for this content! It was great getting to look back at all the past adventures!!
Thank you for all the good times Destiny 1 & 2, I dearly miss you and the nostalgia is hitting so hard 😢
Thank you so much for these videos. I was away from the game for a few years for school and watching these give me nostalgia I didnt know I had and this is so relaxing and fun.
Year 1 guardian started right before The Dark Below I many not play hardcore anymore but when a new expansion comes out I always jump back in at some point. I fell in love with this world and had some the best gaming experiences I’ve ever had!
Amazing Video Shadow!
Thank you!
Im just so happy i was there for it all and im still here for it.
this is incredible. thank you!!
2:16 so crazy to hear this and think back of those 10 years… coming back again and again. Many ups and downs but I’ve had my best gaming memories and met some of my best friends in that world. Hopefully Bungie can keep it going another 10. 🤞
The Speaker would be so pissed at us now that we use Darkness 😂😂
I bought a year 1 disc copy of D1 and played a bit. Vanilla was rough, so I bought ttk.
Its been nice to reexperience it, even tho my studies severely limit my playtime.
Playing mayhem rumble was the funnest destiny pvp ive played in years. I was just having fun. The few that played too were chill and fun. I felt rusty, but kinda saw how rusty we all were...
It was thrilling.
Excellent video and it was a pleasure to watch. That ending hit me unexpectedly hard, one day it will end and I think I'm going to look back fondly. Countless ups and downs but throughout all the years I've stuck with it and it has paid dividends. As you said here's to (hopefully) many years to come!
This video reminded me of why I fell in love with this game. Ty so much for this ! Really hope we see a D3
In 10 years, everyone will be watching this to see what destiny was like in the good days😢
Took me a while to watch the whole video in 30 min bursts 😂. It is one of, if not THE BEST Destiny 2 fan made media in the history of the game. Thank you for recaping the story of the game from the beginning. I never played D1, as I never had a ps or xbox, but you (and evanf) make me wish i could've been there.
This game is a really important part of my life. Thank you for, basically giving me a "foto album" of this wonderful game! 🤍
Wow, thanks!
I had the best day driving around Michigan for work. Listening to this in between my stops!
Thanks for listening!
listen to this every time I take a shower. 3/4 through
I think this was the last game that will ever be as hyped ever again. There is no game after this that has had such a reaction as this. It was a great time i must say
This just makes me….so fucking sad man, I wanna go back, I want to play destiny again. I can’t even help but kinda cry cuz what we’ve lost is so gut wrenching
Also neat thing about sepiks prime’s soundtrack was recorded by a guitarist named misha mansoor, from the pretty big metal band periphery in which a couple members loved destiny
this is the perfect destiny nostalgia video
Man. Those 7 pillars made me experience destiny 1 all over again in my soul.
I ve been waiting for this video!!! Absolutely amazing. Thank you for giving us amazing content ✨.
This video is amazing. It’s nice looking back and D1 and having all the memories from back then. I remember when the game was still new and I’d done a nightfall with my uncle and decrypted a legendary engram into the gjallahorn. Core memory from a legendary time.
haha that is so awesome. Thanks for watching
So glad you made this. 🎉
Wow dude what a good freaking video it's so well thought out and so well written, definitely deserves more views enjoyed it very much cuz it brought back so many memories ❤️
Thanks a ton!
From start, to finish.
What a beautiful saga. I'm glad to have enjoyed it.
If I could, I would do it again
Great video. Lots of investigating and thought went into this.
Thank you shadow so much for working super hard and making this amazing video. Brought back some incredible memories. ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Mann i miss the feeling of D1 cruci, it was just so amazinggg😅🥹
its so sad watching the beginning of this video its so cathartic
I only started at Witch Queen and am jealous i never got to play some of the earlier classics. This is such an ambitious project, so thanks. 🙏
A good update and run down. This is a great primer for what's been going on the last 10 years
Ohhhh my days, the nostalgia with Destiny 1 vanilla is such a good feeling. Would love to go back to that time.
Thanks for this! it was great. After 10 years its been an amazing ride, and I HOPE it will continue
I hope so too!
I remember destiny 2 raid launch day. Everyone in the game wanted people to already know the raid. Making it impossible for people with no experience to do the raid. Still till the current day, I haven't been able to do a single raid cause of my learning disabity and brain fog. I believe the raid is the only thing I will never be able to do in my entire life.
what a banger. 5h of history. thanks for allowing me to relive much of my past. I lapsed out just before Lightfall I think, cant remember. I love D2 to bits, I just cant spend money on Pete. Also its way too bloated, I tried to pick it up again couple of weeks back and i got absolutely flooded by "buy this" popups. I checked my space map once, then quit and uninstalled. Rip Destiny.
Rest well in our memories, F.
This is a monster of a video! Great work!
Thanks so much 🤝
Completly forgot about the ornament system...again great content and thanks for the nostalgia
taken kings was the best time in my life .. dlc came out on my birthday and everything was just right in the world
Superb summary of Destiny’s
History
Extremely well done
tysm!
