As a lore nerd I can confirm that it is never explained why "the Fallen thrive in the dark."😂
@@garretburrow "The Fallen thrive in the dark!" So do I, Ghost. Because we can see those glowing eyes!
Jez please take a go at other video games in this exact style, I'm sure many would love it and I am many
@@zerokiryu2380 He did
Oooo th the blackholes displate is tempting
It's actually so crazy for me to watch this video because I know it now to be 100% true and the story was horrible, but since it was the first real video game that I played fully, I was so mesmerized with the world and being immersed in the game and figuring out gameplay and controllers that I literally did not notice any shortcomings with the story at the time lmao.
Fr, like I was 11 and coming off of lego games on the Wii, I just wanted to shoot evil aliens I didn't know or care why I was there 😂
I was also a little young to properly appreciate storytelling in games, so I'm in a similar boat. I was just so enraptured by some of the best FPS gameplay I'd experienced up to that point so I couldn't really notice "hey... they didn't really answer anything, did they?" on the first go-around.
I'm over here in the COMPLETE opposite camp. I started playing D2 like six months ago and all my friends who have been on the ride since the start just drop occasional bombs about their horrible D1 Vietnam flashbacks that I never had any context for.
Gotta say, that Tyrion Lannister voice acting is even more terrible than I imagined.
@@Punkandcannonballer That what voice acting?
Haha your ghost used to be voiced by Peter Dinklage, until the taken king expansion @@supercato9613
Somehow when Jez films himself in interview style I get reminded of what I looked like doing powerpoint presentations in middle school

Nice way to copy Jez previous videos’ top comment

Honestly the fact we killed a Fallen Archon in our first actual mission is rather significant.
Fallen hierarchy at this point is a very simple structure.
You have the Prime Servitor, which is worshipped as a God by their respective House. This is because they are made in the image of their Great Machine (The Traveler).
Under that you have split authority between a House's Kell, who is their military leader and their Archon Priest, religious leader. The Archon Priest is responsible for maintaining the Prime Servitors.
Saint-14 killed the Kell of the House of Devils before he disappeared, Solkis. He has never replaced and instead the House of Devils became puppets of the House of Kings, a fact we don't know at the time.
So basically our first actual mission after initially escaping with our ship we managed to knock out the second in command of the House of Devils, the primary Fallen threat on Earth.
It's a big part of the Fallen narrative all across D1's life. We kill any and all leadership figures we come across, which directly lead to Uldren and the House of Kings uniting them all into the House of Dusk prior to the invasion of the Red Legion.
Ok nerd 🤓
@@oliverholyhead Yeah, I learned more about this game's narrative reading the grimoire I'd unlocked on the toilet than the actual campaign.
Dark times.
@@seanmurphy7845I lost hours reading them grimore cards while pooping.
I suppose that just piles on the absurdity since some rando guardian who woke up 2 seconds ago just koed a big baddie. we're a true mary sue
The lore of destiny is cool to bad the effects of that action so early into d1 isn't felt that well.
I get the impression Peter Dink was just told he was voicing a robot so he gave it his best monotone, totally emotionless voice. Although that still doesn't explain the jokes also being completely deadpan.
It’s cause he’s not a good actor in general.
I wondered the same thing, but also at some point I have to believe it was at least malicious incompetence; like it sounds like shit. And Cortana from Halo has a massive emotional range
I liked him so much better than the new ghost
@@THEFLYINGMINTBUNNY32 100% agree, not because i loved p dink as ghost, only because i hate that annoying little shit now.
@zerotodona1495 bro go watch game of thrones in its entirety and get back to me. He is genuinely the best actor on that show

Byf! Just got done watching (I think) the final Warlords Ruin video that GJake did. And found this gem hope you are feeling better!
Lore Daddy!
MyNameIsByf is shaking right now. Is it fear? Is it anger? It is arousal?
My money is on all 3
It's actually laughter.
I know that Right Now Bungie is at absolute peak shitshow, but it's refreshing(ly harrowing) to be reminded that Destiny has ALWAYS been a shitshow at some level. Also, the execs torpedoing the narrative at the 11th hour is just 👌🏽👌🏽 so on brand
The difference between Destiny and Destiny 2 is that the first was flawed but good while the second is just plain bad. They're actively trying to destroy their game with the sequel.
@@FlammableRadishAt least Destiny 1 and its DLC had an order of events and whatnot. D2 has been vaulting all the content people paid $$$ for, while also creating a narrative so damned messy that any new player who hasn’t been around since D1 doesn’t have a freaking clue what’s going on.
@@FlammableRadish Yeah, it’s 3 years old, but I still paid Bungie over 100 dollars for all that content, only to come back after a long hiatus and find all of it was unceremoniously deleted. It freaking sucks.
@@FlammableRadish Here’s the problem. When people pay for stuff. They expect to keep it. End of story. Yes, it doesn’t make the current state of the game into a complete mess, but it rightfully pisses off a lot of folks. Because not only can we no longer access the content we paid for, but they also expect us to pay $40 every 3-6 months. That’s how you loose players’ trust and interest, not increase it. A member of the old guard like myself should be able to come back, play the OG content from a while ago, and if the game holds my interest, start buying the next DLC. Instead we’re given virtually nothing to come back to without a minimum price of $40. Very few people are going to be happy with that arrangement.
@@FlammableRadish No problem. Apologies if I came off as angry at you. As you can probably tell, I’m a tad bit jaded by Bungie as a result of it. Especially when their split from activision made me mistakenly believe they’d become more pro-consumer. Turns out Bungie just got worse with the constant $40 DLC.
I loved the feel of d1s originally campaign as your hopping from planet to learning about our enemies in this new world while also learning more about how my warlock powers worked through gameplay. It just captured my young teenager brain so well. I knew at the time the story wasnt really good but it still kept my interest due to just giving me enough through the story and gameplay.
More fun facts about Dinklebot's D1 depression: Before the collapse of the game's original story, he was supposed to have a very minor role with characters like Zaval and Cayde giving mission dialog. When the story was rewritten, Dinklebot was the last one to record his lines and just ended up with all the exposition the other characters were supposed to give.
All this info is from a book called Blood Sweat And Pixles, which talks about how much of a shit show game development usually is 9.863/10 would recommend.
This comment is reserved for guardians who've been around since Peter Dinklebot was a thing.
I was there I was 5 but I was there
Still better than Lightfall’s campaign
That’s a very low bar. A bar so deep, no one can pull it up from the titanic.
Easily
I can’t tell you how amazing these green screen rants are Jez, they just entertain me so much that I feel like a 3-year old who was prematurely handed an iPad with bubble-popping games. My little wet noodle brain can’t get enough of this ❤
I am still so salty that Rasputin got randomly killed off after 8 years of build up because some fallen we've killed multiple times can suddenly hack
Despite Jez’s valid and hilariously humorous takes on the shortcomings of the D1 campaign experience…why do I love it so? Why do I miss it so dang much?
I have absolutely no idea how to describe it, but D1 just felt different than D2. You could port EVERYTHING from D1 into D2 and it still wouldn't feel the same. I greatly suspect that there's a heavy infestation of nostalgia in there, but idk.
Nostalgia is one hell of a drug. Can't really explain it either.
I think it's because of the heavier focus on gunplay rather than abilities, build crafting wasn't as complex and the game was considerably slower
I overall like D1 gameplay more too, but i feel like D2 has so much that should've been there since day one, like loadouts
and a bunch of weapon types, you really start to miss trace rifles and bgl's after a while, Smgs can be replaced with 900rpm autos but nothing can replace bows for me
@@someoneelse803 Bows yes, those are fun and a great strategic gameplay add - bgls and trace rifles feel more like novelties to me though.
For all of its weaknesses, it did feel alien, mysterious, and foreboding to just hop from planet to planet of a crumbled civilization and face the "evil, bad darkness" in whatever shape it took. It felt wonderfully eerie. By the time D2 was launched upon us, they were simply unable to spring up that level of new 'eerie' or 'new' on us. Granted, the Dreaming City came close.
Jez, your Green Screen rants are a level of quality that we’ve never seen from you before. Congrats on this achievement homie. Long time coming. Cheers
This is just what I needed, a whole hour of Jez narration to relax to after work
My dude, reading the reviews at the end was incredible and deserves its own series of videos.
Thanks for bringing this back! Loved how you compared the two VOs and noted how crazy and out of order the campaign seemed. Hope this does well! Can't wait to see more!
Dude you owning Ultron Sove when he says "She's saying you owe us" is something I have wanted to do for eons! Thank you for doing it for all of us, I literally can not stand the guy!
You didn't just said "Ultron Sove" instead of "Uldren Sov", mate, did you?
@@heramaaroricon4738 its been three weeks! why even bother with the correction now?
This is legitimately the best video you've made yet and probably the best D1 retrospective I've seen. Always love your content, keep up the amazing work!
Almost an hour of uninterrupted Jez?! At the rate he speaks, I can't imagine how many 10's of thousands of words this is
I've got to give it to you, these are really effin good. You should make a series out of these.
Jez is the kind of guy to be 10 years late but still Rocks really Hard( don't show that to Amy)
Love these film size breakdown videos! All your videos are great but this *chef's kiss*. We love you Jez.
I would just like to commend the effort in this video. That's a LOT of writing. and a LOT of performing. Bravo, Jezzy.
Yknow I kinda forgot about people doing dialogue loading into the mission that isnt just like the main cast, like the cryptach giving lore when loading into that moon mission its kinda cool imo
great video thanks Jez !!!
i apreciate the hard work that goes into videos like this
I love the rants and rhe comedic presence jez has throughout an hour long video.
Would’ve been interesting if the fight against the three minotaurs in the black garden was instead one massive unique vex construct and each phase regressed it back into its own past, gaining a new form and abilities matching the period it regressed to.
Jez, your humour makes me laugh unreasonably hard. Keep doing what you do, you're great at it.
11:27 "Just ask my pregnant Wife.... also my Wife is not actually pregnant" Why do you play with my Emotions this much?
It's so awesome when Jez puts this level of effort into his videos. These videos ARE all bangers. Jez = Everyone's favorite critic of a game he hates, but plays to pay his rent.
My brain is fried. And yet I continue watching this video. Probably the same mindset as Jez making this
I’m just impressed on how it was one hour of well-thought out critiquing and making it seamless. Wouldn’t even think you were reading from a script, unless you didn’t which is even more impressive. More of this is great
8:15 When our Guardian was resurrected, there weren’t enough Guardians to man the walls. They barely survived the Six Fronts and the Great Disaster followed soon after. After losing so many Guardians, they were in a death spiral. It’s was only after our efforts to open up the system, push new boundaries, and eliminated some big threats that we were able to thrive and rebuild to the Age of Triumph. Really live the epic feeling of our Guardian being the one who changed everything… 😎
"Unemployed Titty Milk Sucking Garage Band Little Goblin" may be one of the greatest insults of all time
Caught that Heroes reference at 25:15
What a throwback holy shit
Save the cheerleader, save the world.
Save the cheerleader, save the world.
monotone complainy guy returns
Just a correction about the Black Garden minotaurs:
The Eschaton Mind actually symbolizes the Vex faction in the Black Garden--Eschaton signifies the end of the *present* age, much like the Black Heart does. Note that the Sol Divisive are all grassy.
The Imminent Mind symbolizes the future, as something that is imminent has yet to occur. The donut head is also thematically the same as the Vex Descendants. The Descendants themselves aren't actually grassy, just that location in the Vault.
This is a spectacular project Jez, loving the work into your vids!
I absolutely lost it at "everybody's anus got a city" 😂 I'm loving this genre of video from you Jez! Great work once again!
Second dark souls reference from Jez now I’m just waiting for the Elden Ring play through
This... just this.
the first 10 minutes, i couldn't stop but admire how good D1 looks in upscaled 60fps
This was packed with all that Jez energy I crave when watching UA-cam content, Very well done.
Hahah, at least Destiny 1 still has its campaign.
True. Even if calling Vanilla D1 a “campaign” may be a bit too much lmao
@@davida1229 That's fair, but it's still something compared to D2's campaign literally not existing anymore.
Even not playing destiny 1 I can safely say I understand 60% of the lore thanks to jez
This is your best work yet! Thanks for the comedy and dedication. :)
I love watching these types of vids. So nostalgic to look back on the campaign
I love dinklage va for ghost for the most part. The emotionless speach made it clear our ghost was a mechanical mix and could have made the few actual emotional moments sooo much better when the normal pattern of emotionless banter is broken.
Sounding emotionless is fine if the context works (look at the maid from Haunting Ground) speaking like you're reading directly off a script is, and that's what he always sounds like.
Peter was under the impression theyd digitally mess with his voice for ghost. They did not.
And yet he was still better than the current ghost lol
This is early Christmas present from DU. Thank you Jezes... Happy summer down there... Love it.
@Th3Jez As a long time listener, this video made me proud. You still haven’t peaked my guy
Big money moves Jez. Love you buddy keep it up.
I know Jez always talks about how dumb he is, but he is an amazing writer tbh. Hilarious, spot-on summations, funny insights, and honestly an impressive amount of research.
I don't want to imagine hearing a monotone, dead pan ghost when he rants at Savathun in the final Witch Queen campaign mission.
These are my favourite videos of yours this and the beyond light rant love them, please keep them coming.
I was not expected to hear Dinklebot again, and feel a small joy that Jez used it because he's canonically narrating in 2014
edit: hold up, you're telling me, you used Dinklebots lines on earth, but the best line he has on the moon of "We've WOken the HIVE!!!" you used Nolanbots????? Jez you're killing me man
These 'was absurd' videos are gold, and def have a lot of effort put into them
Love the video! Must've taken a lot of work but it paid off so well and made me laugh so much! Keep it up! And don't worry, I've already watched your cyberpunk vid 5 times by now
Crazy how D1 story was underwhelming and yet it's still more interesting than what we have almost a decade later.
Five nights at Freddy's didn't create furries we existed since the 90s and I really like destiny 1 more than destiny 2 actually also how are you able to get Peter dinklage's voice lines they changed the ghost's voice actor in The taken King and replaced all the old voice lines with the new voice actors
The icon is a ghost?
What a great start to my day at work. Watching an hour long Jez video.
I absolutely love these style of videos from you. Banger.
Jez the story teller, the teller of all stories.
I love these deep dive rants on a early Monday morning to start my work week :)
Rewatched your Light fall rant yesterday. Your greenscreen critiques are the best thing about Destiny at this point.
So basically, Bungie leadership has been one of its biggest problems since development. I'm starting to think Playstation should just get board control cause clearly the leadership is a mess.
I'm sure these types of vids are way more work than your regular TRV/Datto gameplay content, but I hope they keep coming every so often.
I absolutely love this video lmao so funny major props to you and the editor!!
Love these. My power just went out, so this is perfect to pass the time.
The green screen explosion has returned😂. It's like a little treat and i love it everytime
Love these rants Jez! You just become ever so slightly funnier than your GM/Raid/Dungeon videos! Just keep rising up Jezolute!
would be amazing if theres a story moment in final shape where its just you vibing with your ghost before the last battle and calling him little light
Ok it's the little edits like the Smash Bros border KO that make this an absolutely God tier video.
such a banger of a video i was gonna watch it bit by bit so that i can have something to watch with multiple dinners... and next minute i knew it was at the end of the video
Actually incredible video keep it up JEZ. these green screen videos are quickly becoming my favorite!
54:00 you love to see that Jeb hasn't forgotten how to say you-doubleyou-you
Great vid mr Jez… really enjoyed, ✌🏾😊
I thought you weren't going to do this again. This just never gets old.
Love this style of Jez content
This has to take so long to make, but dear lord, this is such good content.
the fact that you used Peter Dinky-Wink's voice in the start of the video was hilarious and I realised way too late into watching it too.
The trumpets at the menu screen goes so hard
What a masterpiece, thanks jez!!
Your script is amazing!
It's wild how some iconography in Destiny goes unexplained. Class symbols for example. We know the Titan's symbol represents the battle of six fronts. The Hunter's symbol MIGHT represent something to do with the Vanguard Dare or the Six Coyotes (not confirmed). And the Warlock's symbol is... a mountain? A hawk? A phoenix?
i like to think that canonically this entire hour long video was just one long advertisement for the cyberpunk video which also slaps
Hearing the tease for a taken king one of these already has me excited. one of my favorite of your series.
Jez’s reaction to “You owe us Guardian” is peak.
Absolutely amazing work with this one!
They went with the flow and it lead to something great as Nimbus said:"We are the river" and "...flow with the current..."
Love the *Ghost Noises* also potential Dark Spuls vids?
Getting into semantics and lore, the stranger (Elizabeth) was, in fact, correct that she wasn't forged in light.
Clovis Bray's journals from Beyond Light described how he needed "clarity control" (darkness) to combine with vex Radiolarian fluid. This mixture of semi-paracausal milk was then used to stabilize the exomind project and prevent the billboard/crash cycle.
The billboard/crash cycle is described as the human consciousness in an exo frame, realizing that:
1.) It's not breathing
2.) It hasn't eaten or drank in days
3.) It hasn't slept in god knows how long
4.) The Bekenstein limit mentions how data eventually reaches a limit within a finite space, so the exomind could eventually become overloaded with information and crash
So yeah, that tainted Radiolarian fluid was very much necessary for exo's to even exist.
Loved this video. The review bit at the end had me laughing my ass off. Please do more, Jez!
Love that Jez put an an homage to Datto by calling the hive knight Greg
It’s monotone complainy guy’s successor, ‘not as monotone complainy guy’
Not as monotone but just as complainy guy. Maybe
