Fun fact the music is supposed to play at the start but it glitch out and only started playing after leaving the city but looking back somehow it end up being better lol
Most of the times, the music will always play after you leave the city, it isn’t a bug or glitch, because I’ve always had it start on me outside of the city.
I was lucky enough to play it for the first time - for free - by chance on the PS Plus back in late 2017! It one of the saddest moments I’ve experienced when playing a video game at that time, tbh. I wish I could replay it just to understand it fully. I didn’t have a clue what was going on at the time.
I'll say it, red war and first 2 dlc's weren't the best, but I feel like you gotta experience it, im also pissed I spent 100 dollars on content I cant even access anymore
This mission is one of the best designed mission ever created... The music, the zone, how and when mobs appear and the falcon... The perfect feeling of being alone and hunted and fighting for your life (or the guardian's life)
Yeah it might have been really cool if they’d extended this aspect of the game, making having no light a serious story arc. I find these first couple of missions some of the most moving parts of the game
I absolutely agree. How many video game missions have you played that almost made you cry like a little girl? Not much. This mission is my favorite mission of all time
@@thelqualomee1040 Almost cry? Played through this multiple times while it was still available and that moment at about 6:49 when the vocals rise up still gets me. It is a real shame they couldn't carry this level of emotional investment through the entire game.
Anyone remember the purple ball in D1? Well, on the stairs when your fighting the Red Legion at the plaza you can see the poor ball deflated. Those fucking bastards took out the legendary ball.
I love how fragile your character seems, like at any moment, they could just snap; fall over and die. This mission, no matter how long, will never be forgotten. How they trip and fall over the slightest movement. It's so incredible.
@@AnythingLounge It’s part of the story, it wouldn’t feel right to be powerful and insta-killing everything in sight with super powers, after all this is a moment of weakness for the character to give you the player a time to understand how weak you are without your powers so you can better understand the gravity of the situation and so you can understand how other guardians feel and why they don’t all immediately jump to help you retake the city. So yeah I agree with OP that it’s an amazing thing for your character to feel super fragile in this mission and reminded of mortality and it is a good thing. :D
I never finished it I didn’t even get that far into it I always thought I would finish it later but I never got to it’s really upsetting what they did and I will never forgive bungie for what they did to the game I love
@@jerrbear5958 if its real i think they are going to have a lot of "issues" putting back missions of that campaing have to make sure that wont crash anything with new supers and system of weapons , add the extra space that requires, the last i remember is destiny 2 was over 105 GB
I really like the fact that we THE Guardian: Slayer of Crota, Regicide of Oryx, Annihilator of Atheon is reduced to a mere shell of our former self. Our light taken and our bodies broken. The cherry on top being that the Cabal sent focking dogs to kill us like we're some kind of pest
6:48 probably one of the most beautiful shots Bungie has ever had since Halo Reach. Seeing the city burning in the background, the Traveler caged, helpless, Red Legion ships deploying troops to continue to wipe out Guardians. It gives me chills and made me cry the first time I saw it. Fucking amazing.
I completely agree. I'm not that much a bitch, so I only cried a little bit. (Joke) This gives me so many chills down my spine whenever I watch it on video, even. After playing nearly every day since the release of destiny 1 all the way to destiny 2, every single aspect of this mission hit me HARD. This is a true masterpiece
They’ll never understand the feeling of being powerless, helpless, hopeless. Then, the moment you turn the corner on that mountain you say, “Oh hell no, this isn’t the end”.
The way Bungie tells Destiny's story is amazing, but also sad. Not allowed to go back and see the things you missed in seasons or events. It's unfair. Yeah, it makes us, veterans or lucky ones, special. But at what cost? New players getting confused and oblivious towards the story. Not gonna lie, I feel sad everytime I think about this.
I agree with this but over time I’ve began to realize that’s part of the magic when it comes to Destiny, just like real life, not every one was alive or around to experience certain events. A lot of New Lights don’t understand the significance of the black fleet being so close either, but we do. We get to share those experiences and stories with them and pass them down. It feels real, and it’s the only community I’ve been a part of where I genuinely feel part of a living world. Gathering with others to talk about the next move the darkness might make, or how characters in our world are shifting, and the importance of every new detail we find about new or old characters. While it does suck that they’ll never get to experience it first hand, it creates a completely different type of experience.
@@thiccforehead5630 It'd be fun if Xur had a special item in his collection which you could acquire after some hidden quest, allowing you to "time travel". I know, that's some Avengers Endgame bullshit, but imagine this scenario: You suddenly appear on the top of a mountain, dizzy. You start to walk towards the top, as you hear explosions from far away. As you reach it, you see The Last City burning, surrounded by Cabal ships just like in Red War. You make your way down, jumping from rock to rock, as all the sudden you spot a thick fog blocking your path forcing you to use your Ghost's light to see through. As you do, you notice a figure ahead, someone familiar. You follow the mysterious figure through the rocky path as silently as you could. As the fog fades away, you stop. The figure's gone, as if they just vanished as soon as they soon as they noticed your presence. You knew very deep inside, that you knew who that was, but couldn't put your finger on it. As the camera rises above your character, ascending towards space. "Destiny 2 - The Final Shape". I know, I'm not very good with descriptions.
I feel that. I missed out on so much for just wanting to play other games for a while. Savathun releasing Osiris, season of the haunted, eramis returning, Rasputin dying. At the very least, I got to experience Red War.
I wish I could experience this just one more time. Even going back to the forest to upgrade my light. A lot of players hated it, but I loved it. It felt so real.
@@redthewifeyhunter4034 right? After the armor update I used all my synth weaves and bought them all. Imagine getting shoulder charged by a scorched titan lmao.
Destiny just has that magic. I personally think it has the best music for any video game and the game as a whole has so much emotion to it. D1 and D2 will forever by my favorite game
@@anthonyoliva6008 Man, Halo Reach made me cry as a little boy more then once. This music really hits the feels, and the mission actually remembers me of the last Halo Reach mission; All of your teammates have sacrificed themselves or got killed, and you (Noble 6) are the only one left, fighting trough waves and waves of covenant until they got the better of you, and you eventually die in that same battle. Ultimately resulting in a peachefull planet years after, by your Noble Team’s input that very campaign. Still one of my favorite games and introduced me to Halo and eventually Destiny
@@Dvdh2903 I’m really sad I never experienced halo in its best days. At least I got into destiny from the start and I was at that perfect age where it just stuck with me and will forever
Just knowing that new players now won't be able to experience this makes me a bit sad but I feel glad that I got to experience it when it was forced to do.
The fact that the traveller appears in the hawk moon quest as a hawk similar to a falcon makes us question if the traveler relies on us or if we rely on it
I was worried that Destiny 2 would suffer in the soundtrack department due to Marty leaving Bungie... Then the track “Journey” started playing. Changed my outlook on life haha.
I had the wonderful honor of playing this mission right when it was released and I have to say it remains one of the most powerful moments in my entire gaming experience. and I've been playing games for 20 years now.
At 6:48 when Guardian turns the corner to witness the last city in ruins and the Cabal Dreadnought move to ground zero, and the chorus' crescendo reaches fever pitch, I felt it. Wow.
Every time your on the cliff and you see the city and the music drops I just get goosebumps to bad new lights won’t understand the pain and sadness us longer players see Especially when the red legion came
"These Guardians... They had ho chance without their powers. That could be us. Guardian if you die... I cant resurrect you. We need to be very careful."
I tried this game at the free weekend that taked place a week or two ago and that exact moment made me to buy this game instantly. I knew that this is only one story mission and probably rest of them won't be so epic, but pure magic that came to me from that one single moment in the game made me buy it against all odds. And maybe it is the fact that the rest of the main story missions (i didn't tried DLC's yet, because of rerolling to Hunter after completing it with Warlock) ain't so epic (maybe beside the one when you get back to The City on the rooftops etc.) but I definetly regret nothing :D And will gladly delete my Titan over and over again just to replay this mission (at this moment, I'm not much interested in that class).
this is the type of mission I expected lightfall to have, but they didn't do it, I hope they will bring back the no light type of stuff with the final shape
I remember on a September afternoon in 2018 after school I downloaded Destiny 2 because it was free for Playstation Plus that month. I downloaded it and started to play and right at 6:48 I started to cry and did lay down my controller for a while. In my opinion so far the best and most emotional scene/mission in a game I have played so far. The music, the view and the feeling of being powerless. At that moment I knew this was my game and I still play it often till this day. When I hear the Journey music I still get the chills.
This was by far my favorite mission in destiny. The music hits the feeling that you truly lost everything while fighting to stay a live. It’s a shame that the new players will never experience this gem
This mission and song were one of the most emotional, compelling and immersing story missions in any videogame i have ever played. The way it went from quiet, and ambient with the cabal patrolling to the emotional turn with starting a new journey was just beyond amazing. Its a shame that the base campaign (which was great in my opinion) along with this gem of a mission will forever be vaulted. It is truly one of my favorite memories
I have so much love for destiny 2 I know it’s not the greatest but no matter what I will love this game but it broke my heart when I first found out everything was gone I just turned on destiny one day after not playing for a while and my whole world changed in 1 second there was a new sub class and everything was gone destiny was such a big game that’s what I loved about it
I remember the red war like it was yesterday...the siva crisis, the birth of the taken, the beginning of the iron banner...the taken king, so many tales I could tell from destiny 1 and 2, but one thing I got out of it is to never loose hope
I feel as if bungie needs to go back to doing single player campaigns where these moments feel even more powerful. They really should do a new IP with the story akin to Halo reach and Dunkirk, where the player is constantly up against overwhelming odds with the only goal becoming just to survive and pray you can hold back the enemy long enough. I hope that they do something like that. And of course using epic music like this to set the tone.
Seeing all this shit and how it connects to the future is really cool. The falcon, the voice of weak ghost being the same as the darkness talking through our ghost, lack of light/embracing darkness. Could be reading too much into it but its so cool
nah you have a point actually. that voice of weak ghost is the same one as when we were in the pyramid, and with the falcon in red war and hawk in the Hawkmoon quest
I think the sound design in battle is done incredibly well. The fact that all the gunshots and howls get echoed and distorted make me feel disoriented, like my Guardian's adrenaline is pumping. It's because, for the first time since being resurrected...they're afraid. Scared to die for good. Their heart is pounding in their ears because they've never entered a fight not expecting to win. Amazingly designed section for one of the best campaigns in Destiny 2.
The first time I play destiny 2 was during festival of the lost and manage to complete this mission before it was gone. Super super good music and everything around it, just perfect
I hope that at the end of destiny 2's life, bungie will put all the content available in all the years that have passed. Even if the game occupies 200 GB to download! I would pay any price to be able to do everything in the game, play all the campaigns, know the whole story, do all the raids, get all the armor and weapons without the level difference. Such a good game! Such a good memories!
Still boggles me that we can't play the ORIGINAL STORY that came with this game and was advertised for this games entire existence back when it first came out red war was everything. Now it's just a memory that we can look back on in bittersweet. I just wish the new lights got to experience this. The music, the ambience, the sense of being powerless and alone. It was perfect. No matter how much hate this game got this opening is still one of the best in gaming hands down.
Ghost: "I'm picking up an emergency broadcast. Rendez-vous coordinates. They're evacuating the planet... *We're on our own..."* Me, a solo player: *"Heh... Nothing new..."*
I started destiny a little bit before beyond light, and i get the privilege to play this beutiful campain, the fact that the "vulnerability" is one of the first things you experience as a new light is so well made in this mission, and make u see that at the end of the day, we are just humans.
Man I want to cry watching this I miss the old days of destiny I took a pretty long break from it and I came back and the game I loved was so much different I would do anything just to be able to enjoy the old days agian there was so much stuff and if I new more about what I was doing I wouldn’t have missed out on so much stuff it’s so sad
I remember... crawling thrpugh the ruins of the city. Fighting through the mountains, going to titan, Nessus, all of it. And i want it back, i miss the red war. The story it told, the fear and doubt i felt knowing. I was the only one with light, the last of your breed at that time. You were a dying race and you fougjt to stop your own extinction.
I remember when I returned to the new tower after waiting for a Destiny 2, It was..... Breathtaking beautiful Makes me want to become a Guardian one day in the future
Is funny how the music was supposed to start as soon as you reawaken in the plaza but the music starts at the exit of the city... it's a glitch but if I remember correctly either the designers or players (most likely players) liked it so much they just kept it that way.
I was lucky enough to play the red war campaign but the old account was lost .... If I was able to get one thing back it would be the armour shaxx faces use in the first year Phoenix stiff 0 Avea seeker And what the hunter was called
I never thought I would shred tears in FPS games especially in Destiny. But this mission is one emotional rollercoaster. And I'm glad I had a chance to be a part of it!
When i first played this story (in season 8), the two guns Shaxx gave you (common Origin Story and common The Last Dance) glitched and now i have them both to use anytime.
Too bad the New Lights won't get to experience this after Beyond Light..... I started Destiny as a whole with this game back around September 2019 and although it took me a while to get the hang of the game, the Red War story immersed me in a way I haven't felt in a long time. Despite the flaws with the game currently, there's still things that I loved about the game that I'll miss....this is one of 'em.
Started out at around the same time, however a year before that for myself. Left the game for a year back in 2020, but returned. Can’t believe they actually vaulted this mission for Destiny 1’s starting mission. I actually quite liked the starting missions of Destiny 2 and the Red War Campaign
The nostalgia is crazy. I truly feel bad for new lights. They did not get to experience how good this campaign was. I been playing since destiny 1, but very casually. it was the red war that truly made me fall in love with the destiny franchise. Hell I even miss the farm sometimes lol
Being a destiny 1 vet and not being able to play this mission again is such a gut punch. Getting to live to through D1 and then making it to destiny 2 and taking my veteran warlock through this mission is honestly one of those “holy shit” moments and it lit the way through D2!
This was the frist Time in game I wanted to make the enemies suffer this was a great campaign I both hated and respected ghual we weren't going to die without proving him wrong about being worthy.
Eu queria muito ter jogado desde a campanha da guerra vermelha mas infelizmente só comecei a jogar Destiny 2 no final do Além da luz se eu não me engano. De qualquer forma eu amo escutar essa música e sempre choro, mesmo que a diferença do destiny 1 para o destiny 2 no Além da luz para mim foi grande também tenho algumas críticas sobre esses problemas hoje em dia. Mas esse jogo me salvou de muita coisa, não largo mão e sempre será o meu favorito❤.
Honestly seeing this again after all these years this would be a fun spin off / gamemode idea with no abilities fighting the enemies which normslly would be a breeze suddenly a lot more threatening
Unpopular opinion: maybe but I think it would be cooler that if you died in the prologue your character would be deleted. It would add a level of atmosphere that it lacks
JUSTAN0TH3RD00D ya then what's the point of the deleting thing again? When noone will known and probably get pissed if they never knew and just happen to fall down or something. Senua did that even tell you about it but everyone just forget about it after an hour cause how easy the combat was and you had to die alot too so ya...
Game Hunter Yeah I can see that, if they made it to where it was actually difficult the starting would much more badass seeing as you fight your way with almost nothing
Fun fact the music is supposed to play at the start but it glitch out and only started playing after leaving the city but looking back somehow it end up being better lol
Most of the times, the music will always play after you leave the city, it isn’t a bug or glitch, because I’ve always had it start on me outside of the city.
@@ty_tgm 5 out 6 times it played at the start when you get your ghost so ya
I’ve always had it start after I left, either way the music will fit in with the mission
It should have played at the time when you get your ghost back, so ya
To be honest the music is called journey by kronor quartet search it up its cool
Incredible mission. Feeling blessed to have play it. Red war was incredible. Shame it’s now gone for new players
As a new player, im genuinly pissed all we get is a "campaign" that lasts like 3 hours and we never get to expierence this.

I literally just started playing 2 weeks before they removed the farm and red war and everything. Glad i played the campaign when i had the chance
red war felt like when bungie really tried their hardest and worked hard to create the one of, if not the best campaign I have ever played
This mission is one of the best designed mission ever created... The music, the zone, how and when mobs appear and the falcon... The perfect feeling of being alone and hunted and fighting for your life (or the guardian's life)

I downloaded it and started to play and right at 6:48 I started to cry and did lay down my controller for a while. In my opinion so far the best and most emotional scene/mission in a game I have played so far. The music, the view and the feeling of being powerless. At that moment I knew this was my game and I still play it often till this day. When I hear the Journey music I still get the chills.
Bro I cried in the club
That shot of the traveler in chains and the city burning gets me every time
It’s sad to think that the new lights will never play this story line with the release of beyond light and the destiny content vault
If they ever add Io an titan back (while edz and nessus are still existing) hope the red war returns too
@@SpeedWeed6969 Sadly I don’t think they will considering the fact that it would kind of mess up the destiny storyline
This was by far my favorite mission in destiny. The music hits the feeling that you truly lost everything while fighting to stay a live. It’s a shame that the new players will never experience this gem
Ghost: We need to be VERY careful.
Me being the hunter I am: STAB EVERYTHING IN EXISTENCE DESPITE ME HAVING A LOW LIGHT LEVEL!
So sad the new light players didn’t get to experience this
Nor the Taken King 🥺
@@thepleiades6992 Anyone who goes back and buys destiny can play the taken king, but the red war is just gone.
This mission and song were one of the most emotional, compelling and immersing story missions in any videogame i have ever played. The way it went from quiet, and ambient with the cabal patrolling to the emotional turn with starting a new journey was just beyond amazing. Its a shame that the base campaign (which was great in my opinion) along with this gem of a mission will forever be vaulted. It is truly one of my favorite memories
I have so much love for destiny 2 I know it’s not the greatest but no matter what I will love this game but it broke my heart when I first found out everything was gone I just turned on destiny one day after not playing for a while and my whole world changed in 1 second there was a new sub class and everything was gone destiny was such a big game that’s what I loved about it
The red war campaign was honestly the best mission destiny 2 had to offer. I wish I could play it again.
Dude i got a super huge hit of nostalgia when the music started picking up.
I really fuckin miss red war
The subtle or I guess not so subtle detail of the smg being named sorrow is so good.
I remember the red war like it was yesterday...the siva crisis, the birth of the taken, the beginning of the iron banner...the taken king, so many tales I could tell from destiny 1 and 2, but one thing I got out of it is to never loose hope
This will always be my favourite moment from Destiny 2. Now I want to go and play it all over again after being inactive for ages.
And now you no longer can 😔
I feel as if bungie needs to go back to doing single player campaigns where these moments feel even more powerful. They really should do a new IP with the story akin to Halo reach and Dunkirk, where the player is constantly up against overwhelming odds with the only goal becoming just to survive and pray you can hold back the enemy long enough. I hope that they do something like that. And of course using epic music like this to set the tone.
I hope Lightfall is as impactful as Red War and Forsaken were.
That aged like fine milk.. Hopefully; the Final Shape will be a great end to the Light and Darkness saga
@@ACapella5597 i hate this game man lmao
@@simpy6060 Ay TFS trailer dropped a few weeks ago, it looks very promising
The best game music ever. Period
Seeing all this shit and how it connects to the future is really cool. The falcon, the voice of weak ghost being the same as the darkness talking through our ghost, lack of light/embracing darkness. Could be reading too much into it but its so cool
nah you have a point actually. that voice of weak ghost is the same one as when we were in the pyramid, and with the falcon in red war and hawk in the Hawkmoon quest
i coudnt hold my tears after all these years revisitng this moment
I think the sound design in battle is done incredibly well. The fact that all the gunshots and howls get echoed and distorted make me feel disoriented, like my Guardian's adrenaline is pumping.
It's because, for the first time since being resurrected...they're afraid. Scared to die for good. Their heart is pounding in their ears because they've never entered a fight not expecting to win.
Amazingly designed section for one of the best campaigns in Destiny 2.
The first time I play destiny 2 was during festival of the lost and manage to complete this mission before it was gone. Super super good music and everything around it, just perfect
I hope that at the end of destiny 2's life, bungie will put all the content available in all the years that have passed. Even if the game occupies 200 GB to download! I would pay any price to be able to do everything in the game, play all the campaigns, know the whole story, do all the raids, get all the armor and weapons without the level difference. Such a good game! Such a good memories!
So sad for those guardians who have fallen they were probably scared
Still boggles me that we can't play the ORIGINAL STORY that came with this game and was advertised for this games entire existence back when it first came out red war was everything. Now it's just a memory that we can look back on in bittersweet. I just wish the new lights got to experience this. The music, the ambience, the sense of being powerless and alone. It was perfect. No matter how much hate this game got this opening is still one of the best in gaming hands down.
This scene alone was enough to make me a Guardian over 3 years
That’s how I fell in love with this game
I come back to this video every year. They removed such an amazing mission
Ghost: "I'm picking up an emergency broadcast. Rendez-vous coordinates. They're evacuating the planet... *We're on our own..."*
Me, a solo player: *"Heh... Nothing new..."*
This bring back so many memories when i came from school to play d2
I started destiny a little bit before beyond light, and i get the privilege to play this beutiful campain, the fact that the "vulnerability" is one of the first things you experience as a new light is so well made in this mission, and make u see that at the end of the day, we are just humans.
Man I want to cry watching this I miss the old days of destiny I took a pretty long break from it and I came back and the game I loved was so much different I would do anything just to be able to enjoy the old days agian there was so much stuff and if I new more about what I was doing I wouldn’t have missed out on so much stuff it’s so sad
I remember... crawling thrpugh the ruins of the city. Fighting through the mountains, going to titan, Nessus, all of it. And i want it back, i miss the red war. The story it told, the fear and doubt i felt knowing. I was the only one with light, the last of your breed at that time. You were a dying race and you fougjt to stop your own extinction.
I still remember, on my first play-through, I fell down one of the ledges and after restarting the mission, the music had stopped. That was awful!
I remember when I returned to the new tower after waiting for a Destiny 2, It was..... Breathtaking beautiful Makes me want to become a Guardian one day in the future
Super blessed to have played this......still have my damaged gear from year 1....
Is funny how the music was supposed to start as soon as you reawaken in the plaza but the music starts at the exit of the city... it's a glitch but if I remember correctly either the designers or players (most likely players) liked it so much they just kept it that way.
i fucking loved this mission. it was perfect.
I'm so happy to have experienced this at launch. If only new lights could share in it.
I love how the warlock melee is a weird punch.
Because warlocks are used to shooting an energy pulse, which they can no longer do.
I was lucky enough to play the red war campaign but the old account was lost .... If I was able to get one thing back it would be the armour shaxx faces use in the first year
Phoenix stiff 0
Avea seeker
And what the hunter was called
i want red war back. it is the only legacy mission i will replay. not even forsaken. this is byfar my favorite pre shadowkeep campaign in d2
I never thought I would shred tears in FPS games especially in Destiny. But this mission is one emotional rollercoaster. And I'm glad I had a chance to be a part of it!
The most dangerous log bridge in gaming history. Ive died so many times on that thing.
When i first played this story (in season 8), the two guns Shaxx gave you (common Origin Story and common The Last Dance) glitched and now i have them both to use anytime.
Guardian?!! This can’t be happening..
If only we got this feeling during lightfall
Guardian: Falls thousands of feet without light and is dying.
Game: *500 ClAn eXp* !
i’m glad other people have an appreciation for the artistry of these moments
Too bad the New Lights won't get to experience this after Beyond Light..... I started Destiny as a whole with this game back around September 2019 and although it took me a while to get the hang of the game, the Red War story immersed me in a way I haven't felt in a long time. Despite the flaws with the game currently, there's still things that I loved about the game that I'll miss....this is one of 'em.
Started out at around the same time, however a year before that for myself. Left the game for a year back in 2020, but returned. Can’t believe they actually vaulted this mission for Destiny 1’s starting mission. I actually quite liked the starting missions of Destiny 2 and the Red War Campaign
This mission gave me ODST vibes
I love this part
I love how you go a full circle at the end
I wish at the end of the red war there was a memorial for all the lost guardians in the red war
The nostalgia is crazy. I truly feel bad for new lights. They did not get to experience how good this campaign was. I been playing since destiny 1, but very casually. it was the red war that truly made me fall in love with the destiny franchise. Hell I even miss the farm sometimes lol
Being a destiny 1 vet and not being able to play this mission again is such a gut punch. Getting to live to through D1 and then making it to destiny 2 and taking my veteran warlock through this mission is honestly one of those “holy shit” moments and it lit the way through D2!
Truth be told this still breaks me to this day!
I wish we could replay it some how again it holds a special place in my heart
Man this was insane. I really wish I could have played in it
This was the frist Time in game I wanted to make the enemies suffer this was a great campaign I both hated and respected ghual we weren't going to die without proving him wrong about being worthy.
Eu queria muito ter jogado desde a campanha da guerra vermelha mas infelizmente só comecei a jogar Destiny 2 no final do Além da luz se eu não me engano. De qualquer forma eu amo escutar essa música e sempre choro, mesmo que a diferença do destiny 1 para o destiny 2 no Além da luz para mim foi grande também tenho algumas críticas sobre esses problemas hoje em dia. Mas esse jogo me salvou de muita coisa, não largo mão e sempre será o meu favorito❤.
a bungie é um estudio que nos prova que video game é arte
desde do halo ce ate o destiny 2
Why o who did you remove this Bungie!
Climbing that mountain with THAT SOUNDTRACK OMG. Hit me right in the feels first time i played it.
I was there 6 years ago.."Guardian... if you die... i can't resurrect you" Rest in peace lance, say hello to Cayde from up there :(
Honestly seeing this again after all these years this would be a fun spin off / gamemode idea with no abilities fighting the enemies which normslly would be a breeze suddenly a lot more threatening
Unpopular opinion: maybe but I think it would be cooler that if you died in the prologue your character would be deleted. It would add a level of atmosphere that it lacks
JUSTAN0TH3RD00D the problem is who the fuck is going to die in this part
Game Hunter Exactly
JUSTAN0TH3RD00D ya then what's the point of the deleting thing again? When noone will known and probably get pissed if they never knew and just happen to fall down or something. Senua did that even tell you about it but everyone just forget about it after an hour cause how easy the combat was and you had to die alot too so ya...
Game Hunter Yeah I can see that, if they made it to where it was actually difficult the starting would much more badass seeing as you fight your way with almost nothing
iidarkoceanfang ya I got no clue too I think he just asking for the campaign to be harder
I hope they bring back the legendary last city shell
Goddam we didn't realise how good we had the story back then. Now we have just shit like Nimbus :(
