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
Playing Forsaken and running around the tangled shore, then unlocking the dreaming city and realizing there was an entire second deatination was probably the best moment in D2 for me. Almost every other "best" memory was in D1.
The dreaming city felt like the elite destination of the entire sol system. There are still puzzles, and activities never truly unlocked. I was hyper confused and always given a new challenge in every side of the map.
Destiny's best days. They didnt artificially inflate the content either (as in timegate ect). Just play the DLC at ur lesure (except the raid date for obvious reasons). They cared about the core of the game a lot more then. It still is the largest destiny release in terms of loot, not many ppl knowthat. It has more exotics than D2 or D1 released with which is just crazy. (Unlike D2 they were all actually new exoitcs and legendaries too).
Ran a clan of over 100 people we were unstoppable from everything raids to pvp When I tell you kings fall day one was awful that’s a understatement we destroyed the war priest like it was nothing then gogorath man he ripped us apart for hours Amazing experience
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
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.
I was so excited to buy and play D2 and I was so disappointed, wondering WTF, where is the amazing game, and once playing D2, I wasn't going back but they where brining back the past content as if this is why we moved to D2. I want my guns back, so I play D2 and give them money and my content isn't any better. The amazing content in D1.. I do feel it with my controller point of view, D2 is better. Queen Witch was best, and then ? I do like the neon look in Neptune, but it never went the far. Weapons ? more of the amazing game of D2 is in Raids which I don't participate other than going in and looking for loot. They have tried to instead of going to a new level, stayed and tried to control us. Keep them playing vanguard until they get so sick and tired they play crucible and give them some Christmas special or holloween, and pay again. Sadly someone else isn't producing the same content or we would have moved to a new game.
@tatewinters5565 yes.. but my D1 is in a CD and when i was lucky enough to be allowed to buy PS5, i didn't realize i bought the digital one. no CD.. my PS 4 controler has stick drift and they don't want to sell a new one at a decent price. i also have 2 hours a day to play.
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 got my ice breaker from atheon... was my first exotic... man thode times funny enough dont think I seen another exotic drop by him aside vex mythloclast in 100+ raids man I miss the old days of destiny
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. ❤
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!
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.
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.
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 was an OG Destiny 1 player that loved the game with 10,000+ hours and quit Destiny right before Curse of Osiris. A couple of months ago, I was hit by random nostalgia and downloaded Destiny 2 on my Pc just to replay the initial story (with the Journey soundtrack... my all time favorite). To my surprise, I was catapulted to a random... purple sky place? I had no idea they removed the original content that was released years before. I had no idea what was the state of the game currently. I got so disoriented (as a "new" player, since I haven't played destiny in ages), and I found myself largely disappointed. Thank you Shadow for this brilliant video, thanks to you I was able to partially live the Destiny experience that I missed since my quit. Appreciate it.
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.
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 think I got the Gallijhorn on like my 5th run through Vault of Glass. The group I was with all stood around the chest before the main boss, and we all shot the chest with our rocket launchers at it because one guy said "maybe it'll help" lmao!! When I stepped up to the chest for my turn that gold shimmered and I held my breathe lmao. When I saw the Galli I was awestruck. That was the FIRST and ONLY time I felt special in a PvPvE or any game really. I felt important then. Eventually the clan I was running with would take random folks that needed help into raids and teach them how to run it. It felt so amazing being someone "well versed" in the content. I haven't felt that way ever again. Right now I am waiting on Path of Exiles 2, but I have low expectations in getting that feeling again. It reminds me of drug addiction lol. Just chasing that dragon lol. I hope one day I get into a game that makes me feel that same way again. I would love that experience again, but it's so rare.
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!
"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.
That ending was getting me a little emotional and then the FINAL scene, which was incredibly well voice acted, made me really reflect on how much this franchise means to me. At first I avoided this video because I thought it was just more doom and gloom, but it was an amazing trip down memory lane. Thank you, Shadow. I'll see you starside.
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
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.❤
Destiny was a massive part of my childhood and I've played the game through thick and thin, I'm really sad with the way it looks like it's going right now but this video made me realise how much happiness it's brought me over the years. I'm 21 now and looking back at the times I've had with the game and the guardians I've met along the way, I wouldn't change it for the world. Thank you Bungie for this amazing experience and thank you to every guardians past and present that makes up this community. "Eyes up, Guardian"
Thank you for making this. Must've been one absolutely massive undertaking. As someone who started with D2's PC launch and went on a long long break during the tail end of Forsaken and has just returned, it's nice to have a full picture of the entire franchises history and timeline. Here's hoping Frontiers doesn't disappoint and that the game still has some life left. It's such an unique game.
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.
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
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.
The sheer amount of research and work that needed to go into a 5 hour video about the development of the entire franchise. This was a fascinating watch. Amazing work!
Never played a single minute of Destiny in my life. Why yes, I did watch the video start to finish while being very invested and focusing on it thank you very much! Great video man, beyond excellent work, 10/10 is an understatement. If you captured the attention of an outsider such as myself imagine how good the video is for Destinians (or whatever Deatiny fans are called lol) and your channel fans. Keep up the amazing work!
Soo i glad i got to experience the Best Era of Destiny. Destiny 1 Taken King & Rise of Iron. From the Story, Raids, Strikes, soundtrack, mechanics & exploration. Great times. After finishing D2 Vanilla, noticing alot of things they messed up that this video addressed. It really put me off playing it again. I even went back to Denstiny 1 to see if they were anyone still online. To see the Tower soo empty made my heart cry missing the great times when it was packed
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. 🙏🏼
I love Destiny. I've been playing it, like most of the people that watched this, since the alpha of 1. If I remember right, it was originally touted as a "10 year game". As we've reached that, I think it's time to move on to something new. I hate to say that, but I can't stay interested in even the newest stuff for more than a month without getting bored. Either way, this is still my all-time favorite game ever. Great job with the video.
My main go to games before D1 launched were Borderlands 1 and 2, until Destiny Launched in 2014. The 1-3 years of Destiny was magical to me. Just everything about it. Something Destiny 2 hasn’t been able to do for me, even though I’ve been playing for the last 10 years. I play a lot more retro and indie games now. When it comes to Destiny 2, I still play sometimes, like Gambit and PvP, but I don’t grind the game anymore. Got burned out I guess. But D1 was special. Made a few friends with good memories, the artwork, the guns and gameplay, the Soundtrack of D1, The rarity of getting a Legendary or an exotic made it more special and rewarding! Now, games like Borderlands 3 and Destiny 2 just shower you with legendaries, Exotics, and a bunch of junk you don’t need, or it’s not special or rewarding like it used to be. You just feel like you’re in an endless grind getting the same stuff over and over again. Like this video, I could go on forever about things. Happy New Year 2025! Great video 👍
Zavala was my hero from 12 years old to 21 I felt a piece of me shatter and with that a part of me felt the tethered feeling and fading feeling from d2 came once reddick passed. It drove me from my childhood game this video was. Very nostalgic thank you ❤
It's not devolving, it's evolving into a corporate industry. The realistic problem is leadership at these companies. These dev studios don't have people advocating for them 99% of the time in executive meetings. They just say "Yep, it can be done in X or Y timeframe, no problem!", then the consumer ultimately suffers. Execs in this field are also just career executives mostly now, a sign of an industry that has exploded in growth and needs to find an equilibrium, particularly to do with consumer-focused industries and service being the money-maker. There's a reason behind why things are the way they are.
Absolute chills the first cinematic when you open the game of the "first fireteam" walking up on the Traveler and the music and title hits. I will never forget that moment ever.
I wish I played D1, but I started D2 at the very beginning. What a great game, so much to do, looks beautiful, and you can always come back to it after taking a break.
My second time watching through the video! This brings back so many memories! I started in the Beta and never looked back! I know D2 is in a rough spot as of late but I have faith that the game will rise back to its true potential someday! Started a new character and been playing D1 for about a month now just casually cruising through it, reliving the good ole days! 😊
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!
excellent, just excellent, I thought from the title it'd be preachy and whiny but not at all, a mostly unbiased retelling of destiny's entire decade of life and even before edited phenomenally with clips, gameplay and music... I cannot sing your praises enough, Byf 12 hour recap levels of great
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 was so excited for this game that I pre-ordered before I even had gotten my Xbox one yet. Looked at it in the plastic for about 8 days before my 16 y.o paycheck came through and I got it. Over 600 hours played on just Xbox
I have been playing Destiny since the Beta. Even with all its flaws, i loved this game. I was so hyped getting into D2 and got more and more alienated by it over the next two years. I would love a "complete" Destiny experience that contains everything from the last 10 years. Playing everything from start to finish in its polished state is somithing i really wish for
"Whether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars. So let's get to taking out their command, one by one. Valus Ta'aurc. From what I can gather he commands the Siege Dancers from an Imperial Land Tank outside of Rubicon. He's well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defenses, take this beast out, and break their grip on Freehold."
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.
Destiny Year 1 is still my favorite. The Beta and the first two months of the game especially. Yes, it was very limited, and it had very obvious shortcomings, but I still loved that era more than any other. Dinklebot telling me about Wizards from the Moon, not having enough strange coins to buy the Gjallahorn from Xur that second week, the Stranger not having time to explain, getting a couple Supermacy snipers at the Queen's Wrath event, enjoying the beautiful compositions from Marty O'Donnell and Michael Salavatori while waiting for my friends (the music never reached those heights again after Y1, IMO) going around in circles with other Guardians farming for materials on every planet, The Devil You Know, The Vault of Glass, never getting Fatebringer, never getting the boots (forever 29) learning to cheese the Templar, the loot cave (which I actually never used) getting a Thunderlord from a Blue engram before the patch, doing every daily Heroic Mission, doing every Weekly Nightfall, getting a Hawkmoon right before The Dark Below... Such great memories from that time.
The memories are insane. I have 3k hours on d1 and i still remeber exactly how i got the gjallarhorn. I had soccer practise and back then my friends were waiting in front of my house for me to come out. I was in a crucible match and said i cant come now, ill be there in 5 minutes, i have to get a gjallarhorn. So they took off without me. And you know what happened? I dropped the gjallarhorn at the end of the match, drove off and told my friends about it and all of us couldnt wait to get home from training for me to carry the weekly nightfall. Damn
What a great and complete video. You manage to capture the essential topics and sentiments about every timeframe in the most compact way. Very well done.
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.
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. 🤞
@@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
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 ❤️
This is a really great video encyclopedia of the entire history of the game and the community. Great work. I'm sad after watching, but ultimately i'm ready to let the game go now. It's clear the game ended with The Final Shape. What a wild ride this was for 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....
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!
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 😞
You're correct, yet look at the outcry at raid exotic drop chances. Look at the rage at crafting being taken away. Look at the reactions to Datto's GM modifiers vid. The average player just wants to turn their brain off and be showered in loot.
"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 :')
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.
This brings me back. It was the mystery that was so appealing to me back in d1. Nowadays i minimize the content i watch on youtube for new games so that sense of exploration and wonder stays intact.
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, 🤣😂
Was it really his story they scrapped? Poor dude has been getting shafted for the last decade or so hasn’t he? He doesn’t deserve this after what he along with Bungie gave the world with Halo.
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.
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
I started playing towards the end of forsaken, and might I say the witch queen campaign was such a breath of fresh air especially coming from someone who was playing without buying any of the expansions, exploring mars in a different light was a relief from all of the gun running and leveling up I was doing between worlds. Then came lightfall........... Horid
D1 first day raid was the most magical thing i've ever experienced ! Destiny 1 was one of the most incredible things I've experienced playing video games!
I redownloaded D2 last week I was a Day 1 player who bought everything up to Forsaken.... and everythint is gone. Fuck that. Quickest uninstall in years
saw your post about this video not hitting the algorithm :( finally watching it now and this is fantastic going to plug away at this when i have time over the next week. thank you for making this :)

Spent over a thousand hours making this video, I hope you enjoy! This is the best Destiny video I will ever make.
The amount of work you put into these videos is insane. Keep up the good work.
I am subbed!
Subbed
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.
Hang on babe. Some guy I've never heard of just posted a 5 hour video essay on a game I haven't played in years.
i havent played since taken king.. but shitt catch me up
@@jessemadden271You don’t wanna know. Destiny died a year after you stopped playing
@@Camo_Live
Lol… why are people saying that. It’s definitely NOT dead at all.
@@motorsk81 They fired everybody and the playerbase is at like 5%
Hang on babe. Some guy I’ve never heard of just posted a 5 hour video essay on a game I have never played. 😂
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 😂
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
Playing Forsaken and running around the tangled shore, then unlocking the dreaming city and realizing there was an entire second deatination was probably the best moment in D2 for me. Almost every other "best" memory was in D1.
I feel like that kind of plot was just missing in final shape
Same, followed by the worst, finding our they deleted it as a returning player.
The dreaming city felt like the elite destination of the entire sol system. There are still puzzles, and activities never truly unlocked. I was hyper confused and always given a new challenge in every side of the map.
Taken king man. The feeling when that came out is just some that most people won’t understand. The kings fall raid, the dreadnaught, all of it
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
Destiny's best days. They didnt artificially inflate the content either (as in timegate ect). Just play the DLC at ur lesure (except the raid date for obvious reasons). They cared about the core of the game a lot more then. It still is the largest destiny release in terms of loot, not many ppl knowthat. It has more exotics than D2 or D1 released with which is just crazy. (Unlike D2 they were all actually new exoitcs and legendaries too).
Ran a clan of over 100 people we were unstoppable from everything raids to pvp
When I tell you kings fall day one was awful that’s a understatement we destroyed the war priest like it was nothing then gogorath man he ripped us apart for hours
Amazing experience
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
Makes one.....sad.....and happy 😊
10 years of destiny…. I remember playing the beta as soon as it dropped and I made my hunter…. Will never forget those days…
erm actually its 4hrs 56mins and 37 seconds 🤓👆
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.
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
I was so excited to buy and play D2 and I was so disappointed, wondering WTF, where is the amazing game, and once playing D2, I wasn't going back but they where brining back the past content as if this is why we moved to D2. I want my guns back, so I play D2 and give them money and my content isn't any better. The amazing content in D1.. I do feel it with my controller point of view, D2 is better.
Queen Witch was best, and then ? I do like the neon look in Neptune, but it never went the far. Weapons ? more of the amazing game of D2 is in Raids which I don't participate other than going in and looking for loot. They have tried to instead of going to a new level, stayed and tried to control us. Keep them playing vanguard until they get so sick and tired they play crucible and give them some Christmas special or holloween, and pay again. Sadly someone else isn't producing the same content or we would have moved to a new game.
*was one of a kind
It hasn't been one of a kind for a while now
@tatewinters5565 yes.. but my D1 is in a CD and when i was lucky enough to be allowed to buy PS5, i didn't realize i bought the digital one. no CD.. my PS 4 controler has stick drift and they don't want to sell a new one at a decent price. i also have 2 hours a day to play.
This video is so well done that I'm now depressed because we'll never have any of the great moments that defined the history of Destiny ever again...
That's with everything good in life. Be thankful you got to witness it. God bless you Guardian.
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.
It sounded fun back then
@@universpro7741 it was special that’s for sure
I got my ice breaker from atheon... was my first exotic... man thode times funny enough dont think I seen another exotic drop by him aside vex mythloclast in 100+ raids man I miss the old days of destiny
@@starnoelle8248 dude for real. It was either Vec Mythoclast or Ice Breaker it seemed like. I miss that shit too

Thank you ❤️
Hey it’s papa console!
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!
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. ❤

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!
Same man, some great times

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.
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.
Haha thank you. It was quite a process, but I had some awesome people helping make it possible!
The 3 happiest times of my life:
1. Taken king
2. Forsaken
3. Birth of my child
In this order right? Lmao
Congrats! Hope your RNG was good and your child got good rolls 😂
@@robbiealixsantosAHAAHAHAHAHAH
@@malfeasance180 what about getting malfeasance? That one seems pretty important too
Taken, Forsaken and - at the very end - Final Shape was as good as it ever got. RIP Destiny.
I was an OG Destiny 1 player that loved the game with 10,000+ hours and quit Destiny right before Curse of Osiris. A couple of months ago, I was hit by random nostalgia and downloaded Destiny 2 on my Pc just to replay the initial story (with the Journey soundtrack... my all time favorite). To my surprise, I was catapulted to a random... purple sky place? I had no idea they removed the original content that was released years before. I had no idea what was the state of the game currently. I got so disoriented (as a "new" player, since I haven't played destiny in ages), and I found myself largely disappointed. Thank you Shadow for this brilliant video, thanks to you I was able to partially live the Destiny experience that I missed since my quit.
Appreciate it.
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.
Literally same… almost 26 and been playing since the beta d1 and my god man… it’s been a wild 10 years…
Same bro I’m 27 and remember being kid back in 2014 with this game. Great times
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 think I got the Gallijhorn on like my 5th run through Vault of Glass. The group I was with all stood around the chest before the main boss, and we all shot the chest with our rocket launchers at it because one guy said "maybe it'll help" lmao!! When I stepped up to the chest for my turn that gold shimmered and I held my breathe lmao. When I saw the Galli I was awestruck. That was the FIRST and ONLY time I felt special in a PvPvE or any game really. I felt important then. Eventually the clan I was running with would take random folks that needed help into raids and teach them how to run it. It felt so amazing being someone "well versed" in the content. I haven't felt that way ever again.
Right now I am waiting on Path of Exiles 2, but I have low expectations in getting that feeling again. It reminds me of drug addiction lol. Just chasing that dragon lol. I hope one day I get into a game that makes me feel that same way again. I would love that experience again, but it's so rare.
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!
"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.
That ending was getting me a little emotional and then the FINAL scene, which was incredibly well voice acted, made me really reflect on how much this franchise means to me. At first I avoided this video because I thought it was just more doom and gloom, but it was an amazing trip down memory lane. Thank you, Shadow.
I'll see you starside.
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
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.❤
❤
Destiny was a massive part of my childhood and I've played the game through thick and thin, I'm really sad with the way it looks like it's going right now but this video made me realise how much happiness it's brought me over the years. I'm 21 now and looking back at the times I've had with the game and the guardians I've met along the way, I wouldn't change it for the world. Thank you Bungie for this amazing experience and thank you to every guardians past and present that makes up this community. "Eyes up, Guardian"
I started the game in Beyond Light, I'm 35 mins in and this has been so illuminating. Completely blown away by your storytelling already. Great stuff
❤️❤️
Thank you for making this. Must've been one absolutely massive undertaking. As someone who started with D2's PC launch and went on a long long break during the tail end of Forsaken and has just returned, it's nice to have a full picture of the entire franchises history and timeline. Here's hoping Frontiers doesn't disappoint and that the game still has some life left. It's such an unique game.
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
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.
i miss the feeling of getting a new exotic and going to test it out in the cosmodrome
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.
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
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.
The sheer amount of research and work that needed to go into a 5 hour video about the development of the entire franchise. This was a fascinating watch. Amazing work!
Never played a single minute of Destiny in my life. Why yes, I did watch the video start to finish while being very invested and focusing on it thank you very much! Great video man, beyond excellent work, 10/10 is an understatement. If you captured the attention of an outsider such as myself imagine how good the video is for Destinians (or whatever Deatiny fans are called lol) and your channel fans. Keep up the amazing work!
Thanks so much. Players are known as “guardians” 🫡
This was so much fun to watch. Thanks for making it man.
Gonna put this on for background noise at work. You're the goat my dude.
Appreciate that a ton
Soo i glad i got to experience the Best Era of Destiny. Destiny 1 Taken King & Rise of Iron. From the Story, Raids, Strikes, soundtrack, mechanics & exploration. Great times. After finishing D2 Vanilla, noticing alot of things they messed up that this video addressed. It really put me off playing it again. I even went back to Denstiny 1 to see if they were anyone still online. To see the Tower soo empty made my heart cry missing the great times when it was packed
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. 🙏🏼
I love Destiny. I've been playing it, like most of the people that watched this, since the alpha of 1. If I remember right, it was originally touted as a "10 year game". As we've reached that, I think it's time to move on to something new. I hate to say that, but I can't stay interested in even the newest stuff for more than a month without getting bored. Either way, this is still my all-time favorite game ever. Great job with the video.
Thank you, and sadly I think many people feel the same after 10 years. Here’s to hoping they someday revitalize things and maybe make a d3!!
My main go to games before D1 launched were Borderlands 1 and 2, until Destiny Launched in 2014. The 1-3 years of Destiny was magical to me. Just everything about it. Something Destiny 2 hasn’t been able to do for me, even though I’ve been playing for the last 10 years. I play a lot more retro and indie games now. When it comes to Destiny 2, I still play sometimes, like Gambit and PvP, but I don’t grind the game anymore. Got burned out I guess. But D1 was special. Made a few friends with good memories, the artwork, the guns and gameplay, the Soundtrack of D1, The rarity of getting a Legendary or an exotic made it more special and rewarding! Now, games like Borderlands 3 and Destiny 2 just shower you with legendaries, Exotics, and a bunch of junk you don’t need, or it’s not special or rewarding like it used to be. You just feel like you’re in an endless grind getting the same stuff over and over again. Like this video, I could go on forever about things. Happy New Year 2025! Great video 👍
Zavala was my hero from 12 years old to 21 I felt a piece of me shatter and with that a part of me felt the tethered feeling and fading feeling from d2 came once reddick passed. It drove me from my childhood game this video was. Very nostalgic thank you ❤
This industry in general is devolving, except for visuals, every single aspect of game quality and productivity has fallen into the gutter
It's not devolving, it's evolving into a corporate industry. The realistic problem is leadership at these companies. These dev studios don't have people advocating for them 99% of the time in executive meetings. They just say "Yep, it can be done in X or Y timeframe, no problem!", then the consumer ultimately suffers. Execs in this field are also just career executives mostly now, a sign of an industry that has exploded in growth and needs to find an equilibrium, particularly to do with consumer-focused industries and service being the money-maker. There's a reason behind why things are the way they are.
Absolute chills the first cinematic when you open the game of the "first fireteam" walking up on the Traveler and the music and title hits. I will never forget that moment ever.
Damn dude, forgot Gambit used to be 2/3 rounds. God those matches were so long!!
Thank you for letting those 7 notes play out at 16:11, it takes me back every time.
Very nice video. Between you and Byf we can now get the full Destiny experience in 15 hours.
I wish I played D1, but I started D2 at the very beginning. What a great game, so much to do, looks beautiful, and you can always come back to it after taking a break.
The nostalgia for this video is going to be unreal
My second time watching through the video! This brings back so many memories! I started in the Beta and never looked back! I know D2 is in a rough spot as of late but I have faith that the game will rise back to its true potential someday! Started a new character and been playing D1 for about a month now just casually cruising through it, reliving the good ole days! 😊
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!
by using AI voicover
excellent, just excellent, I thought from the title it'd be preachy and whiny but not at all, a mostly unbiased retelling of destiny's entire decade of life and even before edited phenomenally with clips, gameplay and music... I cannot sing your praises enough, Byf 12 hour recap levels of great
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.
Amazing work putting this all together man, I’m privileged to have been apart of it :)
I was so excited for this game that I pre-ordered before I even had gotten my Xbox one yet. Looked at it in the plastic for about 8 days before my 16 y.o paycheck came through and I got it. Over 600 hours played on just Xbox
I have been playing Destiny since the Beta. Even with all its flaws, i loved this game. I was so hyped getting into D2 and got more and more alienated by it over the next two years. I would love a "complete" Destiny experience that contains everything from the last 10 years. Playing everything from start to finish in its polished state is somithing i really wish for
"Whether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars. So let's get to taking out their command, one by one. Valus Ta'aurc. From what I can gather he commands the Siege Dancers from an Imperial Land Tank outside of Rubicon. He's well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defenses, take this beast out, and break their grip on Freehold."
Take my like lol.
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.
Destiny Year 1 is still my favorite. The Beta and the first two months of the game especially. Yes, it was very limited, and it had very obvious shortcomings, but I still loved that era more than any other.
Dinklebot telling me about Wizards from the Moon, not having enough strange coins to buy the Gjallahorn from Xur that second week, the Stranger not having time to explain, getting a couple Supermacy snipers at the Queen's Wrath event, enjoying the beautiful compositions from Marty O'Donnell and Michael Salavatori while waiting for my friends (the music never reached those heights again after Y1, IMO) going around in circles with other Guardians farming for materials on every planet, The Devil You Know, The Vault of Glass, never getting Fatebringer, never getting the boots (forever 29) learning to cheese the Templar, the loot cave (which I actually never used) getting a Thunderlord from a Blue engram before the patch, doing every daily Heroic Mission, doing every Weekly Nightfall, getting a Hawkmoon right before The Dark Below... Such great memories from that time.
The memories are insane. I have 3k hours on d1 and i still remeber exactly how i got the gjallarhorn. I had soccer practise and back then my friends were waiting in front of my house for me to come out. I was in a crucible match and said i cant come now, ill be there in 5 minutes, i have to get a gjallarhorn. So they took off without me. And you know what happened? I dropped the gjallarhorn at the end of the match, drove off and told my friends about it and all of us couldnt wait to get home from training for me to carry the weekly nightfall. Damn
What a great and complete video. You manage to capture the essential topics and sentiments about every timeframe in the most compact way.
Very well done.
thanks so much :)
It's wild that YESTERDAY I was trying to remember my day 1 life.
Now I don't need to 🌟
Thank you for another awesome upload!
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.
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. 🤞

@@ShadowDestiny🫡 from one dude who loves destiny, to another
Honestly I don't believe destiny will die the game is like a cockroach it survives literally everything and anything. I really hope I'm right...
Look at this vids views to say it’s been out an hour brother. Collectively the wider community are done with it now. The interest’s gone
Knock on wood bud, it's all we can do
Under Bungie and Activision it was always supposed to be a 10 year franchise but if Sony fazes out Bungie and it becomes solely SIE it could continue.
@@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
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!
Yooo, my experience with early D1 Red Death was peak gaming. Miss that.
This is a really great video encyclopedia of the entire history of the game and the community. Great work.
I'm sad after watching, but ultimately i'm ready to let the game go now. It's clear the game ended with The Final Shape. What a wild ride this was for 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....
What a journey. Thanks for putting this together.
Haven’t even watched, but you’ve already got my like because I can’t imagine the amount of time it went into a five hour long video
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!
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 😞
You're correct, yet look at the outcry at raid exotic drop chances. Look at the rage at crafting being taken away. Look at the reactions to Datto's GM modifiers vid. The average player just wants to turn their brain off and be showered in loot.
Thank you shadow so much for working super hard and making this amazing video. Brought back some incredible memories. ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
"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 :')
Epic 5 hours, lots of memories, thank you!
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.
yeah i started early season 22
Can't relate
You should try warframe
This brings me back. It was the mystery that was so appealing to me back in d1. Nowadays i minimize the content i watch on youtube for new games so that sense of exploration and wonder stays intact.
D1 raiding was peak gaming
Uh no
That pre-alpha footage of the director was nuts! Was looking forward to this, thank you for recapping the past ten years!
Glad you enjoyed it!
When I hear the destiny 1 OST I just wanna breakdown crying man, life was so simple and full of light and now it’s just the darkness
Geee I wonder why..
Thank you for playing the Lullaby to the end.
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, 🤣😂
Was it really his story they scrapped? Poor dude has been getting shafted for the last decade or so hasn’t he? He doesn’t deserve this after what he along with Bungie gave the world with Halo.
This is comprehensive AF. Good work. Final Shape I think was my swan song with this game. Crazy 10 years.
Phenomenal vid... 5 HOURS???? We eating GOOD tonight! Can't imagine the amount of work that went into this. Kudos, bravo
❤❤❤
Destiny was something I can’t verbally describe, the feeling I had when I opened that game was unmatched to any game I’ve ever played since.
Magical, mysterious, intriguing. I don't know. Like I was playing a Disney movie. It sucked me in.

Thanks for this content! It was great getting to look back at all the past adventures!!
My Gaurdian died back in 22-23ish Now rests with the traveler
ITS FINALLY HERE
Agreed. Finally😁👌 I noticed the video 6m after it was posted. Oc I put it on instantly😊
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.
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
Think In D1 they had all these core people while D2 kinda fired some important core Developers like the D1 game designer and armor designer etc
oh man such a gem work! thank you and congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!
In 10 years, everyone will be watching this to see what destiny was like in the good days😢
I started playing towards the end of forsaken, and might I say the witch queen campaign was such a breath of fresh air especially coming from someone who was playing without buying any of the expansions, exploring mars in a different light was a relief from all of the gun running and leveling up I was doing between worlds. Then came lightfall........... Horid
From start, to finish.
What a beautiful saga. I'm glad to have enjoyed it.
If I could, I would do it again
D1 first day raid was the most magical thing i've ever experienced ! Destiny 1 was one of the most incredible things I've experienced playing video games!
I redownloaded D2 last week
I was a Day 1 player who bought everything up to Forsaken.... and everythint is gone. Fuck that. Quickest uninstall in years
yep , they cut planets , expansions you payed , a lot of storylines , quests , f bungie
Tragic
saw your post about this video not hitting the algorithm :( finally watching it now and this is fantastic going to plug away at this when i have time over the next week. thank you for making this :)
hey thank you so much
The DCV backfired so bad that even I, a D1 veteran returnee, can't even recruit my other friends to play D2.
