A few things to mention!!!!! 1. Yes I know this includes an exotic mission, I needed more gameplay last minute so I did the mission. It wasn't too bad. 2. I gave the expansion an 8/10 compared to other expansions, not compared to other games. Since I don't think comparing an expansion to a full game is fair. My score is also dictated by the expansion as a whole so far, not just the campaign, it can go up or down and isn't set in stone. 3. I found a way to kinda fix the stuttering issue with OBS, I don't know how effective it will be moving forward but it involves giving OBS high priority, lowest D2 graphics settings, and capping the game at 60fps. I don't have a bad computer either, every other game runs perfectly fine, Destiny is just a mess in that regard. 4. The Beyond Light script is nearing completion, expect it (hopefully) before the end of the month! Thank y'all so much for watching my videos, it really does mean so much
you have easily the best dlc reviews for d2, i enjoy all of them and how straight to the point/ unbiased you are. keep up the good work i cant wait to hear you shit on beyond light
btw if you're still having obs issues, try switching from game to display capture. Idk if this acutally works, because game capture is just straight broken for me(black screen)
@Dreamuur I figured out how to solve the issue (at least on my computer) I need to put my game on the lowest graphics settings, cap the frame rate at 60fps, and play in borderless windowed. The game stutters sometimes still but it's mostly smooth ever since I started streaming and recording the footage for the Witch Queen video. Hopefully that helps you too!👍
I didn't think the raid would be as hard as they said it would be, especially after RoN. However I, and many others, are currently getting filtered at the first encounter. I'm so glad the game is allowing itself to be difficult.
"I don't think they'll kill Zavala because he's the vanguard vendor". Well they might actually do so. Reason for it is, at the end of the campaign, Crow becomes the new hunter vanguard, he can easily replace Zavala, especially since he's taken a more proactive role in investigating areas, and informing guardians of stuff. The other reason is, while Zavala got a new VA to replace the one that died, I think it would be appropriate to have Zavala die since the og actor has passed.
@@Nanokk_ I feel like squeezing in Zavala with all the other stuff that happened would just be too much and make it not as impactful. In one of the episodes Zavala will probably die his final death most likely to Xivu in someway to cement that she's a real threat and bump her up for whenever they touch on her story again.
This has to be the most underrated UA-camr I saw your video and thought you had at least 500k then was so surprised the quality is definitely deserving of way more attention ❤❤
The server issues were pretty ridiculous, easily the second worst launch day for Destiny. It got so ridiculous that me and my friend were making jokes involving the launch as well as doing variations of "please almighty traveler, let us play." So ironically, we had some semblance of fun with launch day despite probably only having played for basically a half hour total.
I understand this is a first impressions video, but there is some explanation on the traveller. I can’t fathom why it’s not in the main story, and why it’s in optional side missions and lore tabs but it is there. It’s still not properly explained where it came from but my guess is the gardener in unveiling “changing the flower game” was making the traveller. Then after the witnesses race it became more strict in how it operated, only giving the light to who it felt was worthy and the traveller chooses to be silent as it never wants to properly interfere. It doesn’t want to be referred as a god it literally just wants to help in its eyes. Still not sure why this isn’t properly explained, and other parts aren’t explained like “how did the traveller survive against the witness in Sol originally?” But whatever it’ll get answered eventually maybe. Would have preferred if the traveller was a morally grey entity still because that would have made more sense with light and dark not having morals, but the morals are made by who uses them, but these answers make sense overall.
Ngl I understand why we don't get many answers about the traveler during the campaign, but I would've liked to know after the campaign finished. Maybe like some quests or something? But I don't read lore for videos so until this series ends I don't think im going to touch the lore so it doesn't conflict
Got recommended your shadowkeep video, saw it was part of a series so just binged them all from the beginning. I just wantto say that they’re great quality and pretty entertaining. Glad to see a smaller channel growing and based on your short rambles at the end of some of them, you seem like a chill dude. Easy subscribe. Keep up the good work!
UA-cam algorithm is wonderful. I watched a Byf video then YT immediately placed your BL review directly below it. I otherwise likely wouldn't have found your content and been thoroughly entertained with your take on Destiny. I don't sub easily but this one was a no doubt.
i loved the story of the campaign and the sacrifices made by the characters made the witness seem genuinely evil and not a push over, the dissenters helping you even though they seemed like evil statues the whole time was a sick lore addition. the only issue i had was i played the whole legend campaign solo and the only issue i had was the requiem mission being hard because prismatic is just so overpowered it did take away from the severity of the stakes a little bit but overall it was the most enjoyable campaign for me so far, the witch queen only coming in second because the traveler actually influenced the story a lot in the final shape.
Î did the campaign on legendary and then went on with my other classes to try the normal one. in the normal one not only was everything easier to kill, different enemies spawned. In Legendary that one taken wizard at the very beginning is tanky as fuck and really hurts, in normal thats just a regular red bar wizard. I don't think they have changed any of the mechanics, but the enemies were so piss easy and boring, I switched back to legendary almost instantly But I really think Bungie cooked with this one, having stuff for everyone, but in a good way. For example the new portable Failsafe I have glued to my chest now. Not only have they made a copy of the best girl an exotic, it also fires rockets. What more can you want
I just found your channel because of your recaps. You are by far one of my favorite content creators. Just opinions, no bullshit. I don’t agree with everything you say, but that’s cool.
Zavala's character in this expansion is terrible. He gives up to an obvious trap that even HIMSELF knows is a trap by the Witness Completwly abandons what being a "Commander" means by splitting from his fireteam And gets Targe killed for no good reason by going into the Dark alone
Final shape looks pretty rough terms of sales and active players for the newly launched major expansion. Most Destiny tubers views are same as before the release and even gameplay videos from major let’s play channel has been on par with indie games and not triple A. Hopefully this will force Bungie to change for the better
What is one thing you would like them to change for the better? Apart from their internal structure, because lets face it when things get rough cuts happened, but this mainly impacts the Developers and not the ones who made the decision in the first place. Within the community, and in general the community has said thus far Bungie cooked us a delicious first course. The Episode structure is where our concerns lay, and how that pans out. Change what for the better?
I can’t lie I think your trippen most streamers I watch who play this game had all time high viewers at launch and shoot for the raid azteccross for example has damn near 50k viewers the whole 30 sum hours he streamed the raid for he had 100k at one point
Pretty sure the game hit a new peak as far as concurrent players goes and that was with the terrible server issues. Idk where you’re coming from with the sales argument
You can automatically ignore any opinion of someone if they unironically try to claim that Season of the Haunted and Final Shape have Zavala going through the same thing. You know they didn't bother paying attention.
What are you talking about? Knowing the intricacies of Destiny's lore is absolutely not necessary to review a DLC. And besides, the two situations are very similar; Zavala was going through a mental crisis because of losing his family in both situations
I mean you can disagree on one point but disregard my entire video? That's just childish. And I didn't claim it was the same thing? I was referencing losing his wife and son causing guilt, which the witness excentuated those feelings, that was why the witness was scary
@@prismgames Wasn't talking about the reviewer. If he didn't claim the two are the same, then he's not the person I'm talking about. Also, Zavala's mental crisis was on his faith towards the traveler and the darkness providing him with a clear answer. The witness tried to use his family against by promising to bring them back. He rejected it out right. Sure, he's still grieving them, but he's grown from haunted. His family was not the source of his mental anguish in final shape like it was the main focus in haunted.
@@Nanokk_ we all payed the same price. some of us aren't elitist twats about tho. i jus don't understand the need to be a such a smug twat about it. the arrogance is pretty weak.. ngl
@slavestudios47 let's be real though. Every time Bungie has made systems for casuals, or catered to casuals, the game has suffered. Make Destiny for those who care and play it, not someone who will come by every once in a while. The best pieces of Destiny content has been stuff that catered towards people who do raids, who play endgame content, and not Jimmy casual who plays the game a couple times a month. Casuals have a million games they can play, let us have ours
@@Nanokk_ go forbid there's an option for everyone.. which there is. yet here you are be an elitist twat who, for some reason, needs to shit on ppl.. over a video game.. casuals waaah we're the best waaah casuals waaah our game waah get out waaaaah you don't own shit.. everyone who payed for the game can play the game. you're jus a snob who thinks they're better than ppl cos your number is bigger grow up ffs lmfao
@@Nanokk_Lol you did exactly what he said you would do. You were an arrogant twat about it. Casuals are just as important as the more elite players. Just beacuse someone doesn't play the game as much doesn't mean they don't deserve some content more suited towards them

The raid was not only the hardest but during worlds first it was the longest day 1 raid beating last wish's 18hr
last wish was 18:49
salvation's edge was 18:36

I’m having so much fun. I look forward every day to hop on n just play
I completely the campaign and thought I missed something
I still miss Nightmare Containment :(

It was pretty friggin Schweet
not my cat😭😭
