7 Years of Destiny and Youtube - Datto's Destiny 2 Retrospective (So Far)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- May 23rd, 2020 will mark the 7th full year of this channel, with me entering my 8th year doing UA-cam and livestreaming, 7 of those being full time. It's been 3 years since my last retrospective and with us heading into the unknown this coming fall, well, it's time for the next rendition of The Retrospective.
This is not a complete review of Destiny 2 thus far, but rather a look back at my experiences with Destiny 2 and the channel. I try to recap each season and period of Destiny 2 within this video.

Destiny is just such a wierd game. Sometimes its the best thing I've played, and the other times it feels broken and not worth it (like right now).
Yeah, honestly I still think it’s a good game I just don’t play it constantly. When I do choose to play it’s usually when it’s in a really good spot
It’s like an abusive relationship. I’m tired of it. It makes you feel like Bungie is taking advantage of your hype. I’m not letting myself be disappointed anymore, so from now on I’m just not buying stuff when it comes out. I made that mistake with shadowkeep and this season
Weird*
Adrian Guerrero if you truly think that then you know nothing about this game, there are plenty of opportunities for powerful and pinnacle gear
Agreed
45:18 Datto says he found a “wonderful partner to share his life with” and mr fruit is in the frame, I knew it.
Lol
April?
Notorious B.I.G can’t tell if your being fr but if you are nah he’s got a girlfriend
Jason Rivas datto talks about his girlfriend throughout the vid of course it’s a joke 😂
That's Blessious

Relationship creator, creator of all relationships?

Datto: "I found a wonderful partner to share my life with"

Lmao
Love the fruit x datto dynamic
MISTA FWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Aj W. A secret 🤫
No lies detected
"I just want it to be good"
you and me both mate.
The depressing story of me sitting for 3 years Hoping this game would shape up to the potential it has but it's still just oh hey if they actually made good content the game has so much potential but instead we get basic bitch mind numbing tedious content
I listened to the whole thing, and I don’t regret it, I’ve always been a fan, one of the best youtubers, you’re the best datto, keep it up.
Couldn't have said better. I don't care if Datto deviates or even completely gives up on Destiny 2 content, even though this might be highly unlikely ; I'll still watch his vids. At the end of the day, it's not only about the community's will, it's about yours. If you don't enjoy what you're doing then you either change something for the good or you simply give up and start from scratch. Hope everything will be okay for him!
Preach!
You sound like me. I don't blame you for letting go of Destiny 2.
We can't go back to D1 as much as it's still fun. They've killed the game we loved.
Father Mark there's surprisingly a good amount of people still playing that game
_Definitely_ a *positive rating* from me! *Datto* says things like they _are._ *Datto* is no blind sheep who swallows anything Bungie puts out regardless of the quality of content. *Datto* is no _apologist_ who preaches on the net "BE GLAD THAT YOU GET TO PLAY THE GAME AT ALL!" No, *Bungie* has _only themselves_ to blame for the countless errors they have made during the 7-year journey *Datto* reminisces on in this video. The 244 👎s (28 May) are obviously from morons, as *no* _valid_ negative argument against this video can be mounted.
I love how the beginning of this video went. I “grew” up watching you when I played destiny. Even more for videos that I didn’t even “needed” to watch. I just enjoyed how you carry yourself off as a person. I stopped playing destiny 2 and lost hope but you, strangely, I still watch as much as I did the first time I found you. Keep grinding datto. It’s fun seeing how far you’ve come and me and my friends talking about destiny nostalgically and always mentioning you and your blue quality sparrows and optimal dps guides and only having smiles and laughter. Love you.
this comment is hella accurate
Shut up
It's not so much about losing hope, it's just a game.

Oh yeah, factions.

what factions?
@@calvin4695 same lol, i was never apart of that, i started playing when it was free on battle.net lol.
*Who?*
@@iSirath12 Wasnt that in forsaken? Atleast i started during a free weekend of the game and that was forsaken.
I couldn't imagine having my income hitched to this franchise. It would make me cry.
imagine having to play destiny 24/7 for 2 and a half years. i'd rather just have a normal job
@@PenguinsAreColdish honestly the game is so mind numbing at this point it's depressing crucible is the only thing I enjoy and even then it's starting to get quite stale
@@nekoschar6170 it's pathetic. They should be able to crank out half a games worth of content every year. Game is so frickin stale at this point.
I couldn't imagine having my income hitched to any one gaming franchise. Unless, of course, I was employed by the developer (401k, health insurance, vacation, etcetera).

Warlocks have it worse. Our armor is robe and helmet and you’re done.
Well hunters have capes so we don’t look ugly
Well... Have you seen Zavala's shoulders?
I run female titan, it shrinks the size of the shoulders down pretty significantly, it looks so much better
At least you have symmetrical arm armour

“Destiny 2 is the final chance to prove to the public that Destiny is worth their time.”
R I P
This happens every year. The thing is, are we going to just come back next season or are we going to actually teach bungie a lesson
@@shebdjsnwddjdnbssjbdbdbejd5589 didn't happen last year
Giga Olive - I have no doubt those screaming the loudest will be back with the new expansion. To your point, this does happen every year and most are back. And if this expansion is as big and bold as most are speculating, the entire franchise will be reinvigorated.
They certainly proved that the game isn't worth our time thats for sure, the game right now is approaching D2 Y1 levels of trash again.
@@shebdjsnwddjdnbssjbdbdbejd5589 The lesson is being presented but Bungie isn't learning. They are keeping the game alive (in varying degrees every season) but they aren't thriving. If they keep going along at half steam and only delivering proper content once a year eventually Destiny will die. Which is sad
I was 14 when Destiny came out and now I am 20 (almost 21). This game has been a significant part of my life, I've made very good friends through it and overall have many postive memories from it. I'm done with high school and now have to focus on old man shit. I don't want to grow up, I don't want this game to die, I wish I could just play this game all the time because honestly I have nothing else in my life.
SuperStandard same here. About to be 21. This game has been with me through high school and all the way to today. The friends, the memories.
Same boat, I love it, I hate it, its all part of the cycle.
Same bro same I’m turning 21 this year too! This game has been the game that I grew up with and it’s given me loads of great memories
Every person thinks like this when they’re 20. Coming from someone who just turned 40, enjoy everyday and see it as a blessing, because one day you will really be old, and feel old.
@@aaron805 39 here, i confirm what you said. ;) cheers from France everyone ! Oh, and look for Outriders, from Square Enix and People can Fly for PS5/SeriesX/PS4/X1/PC ! they just posted tons of gameplay, story beat, cinematics... seems a great looter-shooter to take the torch in the next gen era. (and i'm sure Bungie is working on a new Destiny for the new consoles, and that's the reason Destiny 2 is so stall and empty right now... they may have kept a little update team, but 80% of the studio is working on something else...
Datto, I bought the Destiny: The Taken King Legendary Edition about two and a half (maybe three?) years ago. My parents had split, and the game seemed like a good way to take my mind off stuff.
I'd watched a few UA-cam videos here and there, which is how I knew I wanted to try it, but didn't know anything about the game itself. I played through it, enjoying every moment of the story, Dark Below, House of Wolves and Taken King. I was a solo player, with no headset and no confidence to play with anyone else. And I was happy.
Then I started looking for things to do. I scoured UA-cam looking at guides for Exotic quests and stuff (I wanted to know what was out there) - then I found your channel.
Finally, I had found a channel that told me everything I wanted to know in a concise and entertaining way. I learned about quests, gameplay, memes, everything that makes Destiny what it is. And I became a part of the community.
Now I play Destiny 2 every day (since lockdown) and have done since about February last year. I know the lore, I know the mechanics, I know the memes, everything that makes Destiny what it is. I know these things because your videos showed me what the game had to offer me.
Suffice it to say, my time in Destiny would be nothing without your videos. I owe every second of joy to you, because without you, I'd be playing blind. Maybe I would have gotten bored.
Thank you, Datto.
What do u play d1 on
why is this comment not pinned and responded to by Datto, so wholesome :D
Crunkyy Datto probably gets hundreds of messages like this daily. He can’t feasibly see them all
This shit hit to close to home💔😭
2:44 - 2:56 I had to come back to this. There are tons of people and streamers unironically saying right now that they think in retrospect double primary was better. We are literally caught in a time loop.
I’m responding late I haven’t played destiny in a while. You helped me through my moms cancer diagnosis just as much as d1 did. It really helped me through Highschool and I would’ve dropped the game after the initial storyline if it wasn’t for your videos showing me how to raid and level up for it. So thank you. You make a larger impact on people than you may seem. 8 years later and I still watch your channel even when I’m not actively playing the game or just taking a break. Glad you found a home and a family

Lol
Mr. Danielle-Fruit
Nah everyone knows him, hush, and jez are in a polyamorous relationship
A beautiful relationship with both xx
Wife not partner
Idk why, but hearing you guys laugh with the whole script thing, was the cutest shit ive ever seen. Im so happy for you and her.
Seeing Datto genuinely become more happy and more and more fulfilled as a content creator is so encouraging to see, and I feel so happy for him as well. I really admire how you want to improve yourself so much, and seeing how youve transformed yourself and grown is amazing. Keep it up.
Destiny truly is THE strangest and most inconsistent game I've ever played, with the highest highs and the lowest lows.
As a Devil's Advocate type whose motto is "expect nothing and you'll never be disappointed", I always have hope for this game. I've quit Reddit and I'm not on Twitter, and I find that staying away from those mountains of salt has considerably improved my experience. Everyone should always form their own opinions on content instead of piggybacking off of the general perception. I think that would improve everyone's enjoyment of the game considerably. That being said...
I think I qualify as a bit of an apologist, but I would really love to see what goes on from a decisions perspective inside Bungie. It's clear that they're very stressed right now, what with the pandemic and their cut workforce and a legion of angry gamers lambasting them at every opportunity, although not without reason (and sometimes without reason). They seem to have a problem with realizing that something is going the wrong way before having it go off the rails: bounties, for example. And at the same time, they keep adding fantastic new features and then not following up with them. The concept of the Chalice went away (although the idea of the REDACTED engram as a kind of reverse Chalice is encouraging), set bonuses, a real staple of MMOs, were never iterated on after Drifter, and big puzzles that drive community involvement are few and far between, likely because of workload. Simultaneously, they make the same mistakes over and over again with sandbox balancing. They say, "wouldn't it be cool if?" instead of considering the repercussions. Who thought it was a good idea to have infinite reload (from only two sources) or dropping Whisper in it's Black Hammer state only to inevitably nerf it or wall hacks and One Eyed Mask, who on Earth looked at Xenophage in Gambit and said, "yeah this is fine" or Antaeus Wards in PvP blocking all damage when sliding and not seeing how impossible it is to counter?
I love it, man, but this game is cursed.
Xenophage in gambit is fine but izanagi and one k are monsters izanagi so underrated for invading and dps
destiny is a cycle of shit and good
I’d forgotten abou that actually - like the whole you get stuff if you get 4 kills in an invasion Is really cool and rewarding in the spot - you happen to get 4 kills, boom reward instead of knowing what your going for then eventually getting it which is more relief than joy
Omni Star 1k is by no means broken in gambit - I can agree with izanagi being v. Good (although runs out’ve ammo if your trying to use it for dps as well as pvp cos when primeval starts there ain’t enough ads) but xénophile is defo way better than 1k at least for pvp (in gambit) and good enough pve wise that I’d say it’s more useful unless you’ve got a sniper and event aim as ur secondary
I miss the forsaken days man, that was the shit and a major point in my life
J P forgetting activision and some other studios were behind forsaken-shadowkeep. If the next season and fall update sucks then yeah it’s a definite quit for me
Idk if I’ve ever had as much fun in a game as I did during Forsaken. And the thing that kind of sucks of having an ever changing game, is it’s not possible to go back. Was hoping that shadowkeep would bring the same level of enjoyment but it just didn’t. Now really all I do is watch Datto even though I don’t play the game anymore.
-10000 subs No vids everything after sk has been only Bungie.
Forsaken? How about taken king my friends have said this for so long why don’t they just remaster d1 and put it on pc too
Forsaken was good, but destiny 1 taken king was 10x better in my opinion.
I forgot guided games even existed over a year ago
Who didint
I wish Leviathan would still have guided games
Who uses guided games
Jesus Nunez their for a good time with your friends and some emblems
@@nitrozeus3288 i've done it once
I feel really bad saying this but in reality: for the amount of money and time i invested in this game, it was a major, major letdown. Emotionally I love this game, but critically it was a MESS.
Same i spent hundreds of dollars and im just realizing it now like holy shit
I've spent less than $20 on this game and have hundreds of hrs of content at my disposal
yeah this accurately sums up my feelings, sure now its not so bad because most of the games free, but beforee that you had to spend up to $300 on the game to stay relevant, and once again at the time the content was not justifiable. still had so many great times and made many great friends will be back for the darkness, but my god what a frustrating experience
I played Destiny late, never played D1. Started game with Forsaken, it was hella fun. Seasons started, was okay except Drifter season. But the Forsaken Digital Deluxe was worth it i guess. And now we got Shadowkeep, i pre bought the Digital Deluxe and now regretting it lol. Shadowkeep was eh, undying was meh, didnt play season of Dawn much, only grinded in the current season cause i wanted to get some stuff done (Luna's and other shet)
I dunno. I've spent, what, 300 dollars maybe? 400? No damn clue, but I have a few months of playtime with the 2 games combined, and some people have a lot more than I do. Like, a LOT more. Anyways, that's, what, 1500ish hours? Give or take? I like to do the math for video games on what each hour costs me, and that comes out to 20 cents per hour. I'm happy with that. I think Terraria and a few other indie games might have it beat, but overall... That's not a bad way to spend money, in my eyes.
That said, whether it's a good way to spend time is a whole other discussion.
How times have changed. Since this video Destiny is probably is at it's best state ever in Witch Queen.
I 100% agree
The best part of this video was listening to you talk about your self-improvement and relationship. It is very easy to hear the happiness in your voice when you were talking about that, especially at the script writer part. All the best to you Datto
This is facts

@@deusvultpictures6550 😂😂😂😂
I've never been more disappointed with a game that I sunk over 3,000 hours into. They just always drop the ball. I don't know if they can ever make the game they set out to make.
They will never be able to make the game they set out to make because Bungier themselves don't know what kind of game destiny is supposed to be.
@@TheOneAndOnlyLUUUU exactly. I was so pumped when the first few trailers came out and was so excited for what the game would be but they just never hit the mark. One part of the game would be good others would be trash it's just a very frustrating franchise.
@Pure it wasn't always like that in year2, year 3 is just trash, no one can find anything to like
they want it to be a real mmo which it will never be. luke's vision is flawed and he needs replacing.
@Pure i hate this stupid anti-circlejerk that goes on about how terrible it is that reddit dares to be negative about the game. it absolutely deserves everything they say about it because as datto mentions, this is the THIRD time bungie has fucked up majorly and it's not surprising that the community is starting to get frustrated. on top of nerfing things we love hard because they're used a lot, they also want to throw our favourite weapons in the trash because they hate fun. i don't think bungie will ever recover until they realise that player fun should not be rationed and controlled and it should be embraced and nurtured instead. but until that happens it's just going to be an endless cycle of shit, trailers hyping things up, disappointment and boredom.
Destiny had PvE almost perfect at the end of Destiny 1. They really messed it up with the state of how D2 launched.
What?
D2's PvE back then though was a lot better than D1 in terms of gunplay/movement tho
@@okruma625 I would hope the new game has better mechanics but the op didn’t mean that
I would love to see another retrospective video when the three year mark hits for this video. 10 years of Destiny: Datto’s Destiny 2 Retrospective. I’m almost as hype for it as I am for Light Fall.
Were you let down by lightfall?
I’d rather wait for Dattos 3rd retrospective to be after TFS as it’ll be the conclusion to the current saga and 10th anniversary of the franchise.
Thanks for all of your content Datto you are a great creator hope you keep it up
“The EVERVERSE became the end game”

A hint at the raid on eververse
Has been for some time
@@coltonrodano8276 "Not everything Fenchurch brings is safe to sell"
I just imagined Fenchurch in a SIVA spider thing, with lord of wolves in one hand and the whiper in the other.
I honestly can't remember the last time that the "it's just a beta" excuse actually panned out, and the game got better (or even substantially different) from the beta.
Might've been back in the PS2 days.
minecraft brah xD
Games that go on beta these days are code words for "marketing tactics".
If the game already has a set launch date, then don't expect the developers to actually fix anything in time for the release. The beta is there to bring exposure and garner interest for potential sales. But don't blame the developers for it. Blame the publishers.
@@NoxinPistol Open betas are never meant to have large changes before release, they're used primarily for server stress test and other large scale technical aspects that they can not test in house. I've always felt that expecting games to change from open beta to release is just disingenuous to their purpose.
The thing that seems very clear, TO ME; is that as Destiny has gone on and ‘perservered’, you have gone on and bettered yourself as a person socially, physically, and mentally. I honestly was very surprised this video didnt end on you walking away from the game; and honestly bro, maybe it’s almost time. I hope Bungie finds their sweet spot in the fall, I’m glad you’re on the up and up as a person.
@J M you know Bungie doesn’t make Halo anymore right? Not since Halo 3…
@J M what are you talking about?
You should tell him what kinda line you like too
They found their sweet spot - the Witch Queen is the best Destiny content ever, full stop.
@@scrambo6182 ah endgame is pretty boring nothing else to grind besides of the raid, cause the exotic Glaives do suck. And besides of weapon crafting and leveling them I’m back to the same position before witchqueen, the game is just too casual
You know, as burnt out as the year of the stalling has made me, What you said gives me hope for the future. I believe, if anyone can pull out a final trick on the brink of collapse, it's Bungie, because Destiny, like you said, is resilient. It's gone through some of the worst periods I've ever seen a game go through, and then pull itself back up, and give us something that reminds us why we love the series so much to care about it the way we do.
GET IN THE HYPE TRAIN! WE HUNTING DOWN SAVATHUN!

That moment when you realize you've been watching datto since crota days... Damn time flew by

I think the beauty of Destiny is that it's a fun, dramatic, disappointing, uplifting and ultimately hopeful ride. And that keeps me coming back. So I definitely appreciate all the work you've put in. Thanks for sharing your story :)
"So lit mobile just sent me this solar wireless battery pack [...]" 🔫🔫🔫
I have that add 9 out of 10 times and if it’s not that it’s the lawnmower 3.0 trimmer
I swear if lit mobile sold anything that was good I would not care because of hearing that stupid script opening every 2 minutes.
Raid shadow legends
So sick of that commercial!!
Yep it’s just been lit mobile and the soap
I just can't care anymore. I'm trying, but I can't. I started the last DLC, the earth gets attacked, "Rasputin is our only hope if humanity is to survive... but first, collect 20 orbs of light, so the story seems longer!"
It's embarrassing.
Omgg exxacctly
i'm did the same: just quit the game and don't played this season. i'm waiting for the next one, but without good expectations
The Tallest Dwarf I played the dlc a bit the first couple weeks, hit 1008 on my hunger and grew bored of this season. Came back to get the petting the cat emote but that’s been the highlight of the season for me
Came back for heir apparent but the whole ordeal was not much fun. Im trying to get a few drops the last 2 weeks of season. Ive had much more fun in Deep Rock Galactic
im one of those people that is still subbed to datto but hasnt played the game in over 2 years lol
Hearing you talk about how "We're listening" doesn't cut it anymore was unexpected but very refreshing and necessary to hear. The state of D2 is worrying, especially since on Steam the playercount has been slowly hitting new lows and the mood towards the game is more bitter than it was during the Season of the Drifter days. Hopefully if Bungie hears anything, they hear it from you as a general reflection of how people feel towards D2.
Well said
I didnt care about season 11 but god damn it destiny just keeps bring me back. So now i have to PRAY this next season hits and i hope bungie has truly listened.
Steam playercount miyht be dropping but console numbers are still rising
And we're back
I only started playing during beyond light, but I love this video and your channel. I've watched this video maybe 6 or 7 times, it's awesome to see how far the game has come over the years.
Happy for you man. Been watching since the PrimeGuard days, seeing your personal life and happiness improve independently of Destiny is great to see. No matter what the future holds for you in content creation, I'm sure your viewers have been happy to have been along for the ride.
"destiny has potential" I'm so tired of hearing this after 7 years
It should've already flourished. Instead it continues to "have potential" instead of just being a good game.
THIS COMMENT 🔥
Hope is how the influencers keep you watching "potential" was dead years ago.
@@bloodline271 Absolutely right. It's their livelihood so of course they'll continue reporting on it. The issue with them is that they don't always admit when Bungie is wrong and accept a lot of the changes so that they're on their nice list.
I think the full sentence is "Destiny has an ocean of potential but capitalizes on only a bucketful and even then pours half of that bucket away"
Most of this was stuff I already knew, but that way you masterfully presented it kept me rivited. ! Favorite video I’ve seen from you, man. Really well done. Thank you!
Datto, as a player that start to play destiny in CoO (yes, surprising, i know), the person that accidentally found your channel, your twitch, subbed to you on twitch on day one of SoS, and now somehow worked my way to be the clan admin of FPS, I truely, truely thank you for all you have done.
Personally, not sure if you remember this, but I did commented in chat in your stream, you streams and video helped me through all the difficult times of me studying abroad along, long distancing with my girlfriend. Untill now, while I am writing this paragraph, I still have one year to go, and your content, bundled with destiny, is one of the main fuel that pushes me to walk through life, no matterr how tough it is.
Social wise, I am never a social person, I can talk with people, but I am not the type of person that will go out to pubs or clubs, thus I found home in video gaming. Datto your content has led me to know one big group of wonderful people in the sub clan, and until now, while the people in the sub clan has never met physically before, are still one of the best people I have met. Remember the giant donation that I helped to deliver, donated by the sub clan? That is just the small portion of how much we love and appreciate you.
All said, in the end, Datto, thank you very much, keep being the original, funny, goth, sarcastic, and occationally toxic(towards your friends KEKW) you, you have forged a community around you, and we all love and appreciate you.
Hey Datto I wanted to say thanks for sticking with us for 7 years. I haven’t enjoyed D2 as much as I wanted to and haven’t been able to play it as much as I wanted to, but I’ve still always looked forward to your videos. Whether they be Destiny related or something else, I really enjoy watching them. It’s amazing to me that the same guy that guided me through the D1 year 1 Thorn quest is still with me today helping us through D2. I just wanted you to know we appreciate you as much as you appreciate us.
Well I have been a Destiny fan since the ps3 beta and I have been leaving and coming back several times now. Beyond Light has been great for me, and you Datto, you are always here to help me on my adventures... thank you for that.
this video is what I needed today
Honestly, I loved your variety content a lot. Your chemistry with the dream team and friends is hilarious and goofy, your silly and sophisticated brand of humor is really entertaining and unique. Just remember that even if destiny fizzles out, you have made a place for yourself as a content creator and you have a fanbase who watches you for you rather than just guides :)
"datto rants about how everything about destiny 2 is bad besides forsaken for 46 minutes" oh do i love you datto
And now we met again friend!
xed you forgot the season of opulence
@@alexlikesdalex5680 yeah season of opulence was easily my favourite time in destiny, despite the auto-reloading nerf. can't blame datto saying that
@@dankerbell Shadowkeep was good, but didn't live up to all it's expectations unfortunately.
season of dawn was also great, then it went downhill hard
Just brings a tear to my eye seeing where Datto is now. I remember when Destiny’s betas we’re running and iron banner was the place the be. It made me smile seeing where this was gonna go and now years later I’m smiling for a different reason as I see him mature just like I did throughout the years. Hoping for nothing but the best Datto.
Coming back to this 2 years later, things are looking much better fellas. They might be doing it
Listening to this like a podcast while at work! Looking forward to it!
As he starts to repeat himself, me"wait didn't he have this exact same speech at the begin.... OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I get it"
I got an ad for destiny carries, and now it seems I can't get away from these
You've come a long way man. I remember following your channel when D1 was announced, and you already looked like a competent content creator back then, so I decided "yeah, this is definetly the dude to follow". I was not mistaken. Thanks for all the fun videos you made, and I wish you all the best for the future!
I keep watching this video over and over as it’s just calming to listen to datto explain his UA-cam career
Best gift Datto could give us, 46 minutes of bliss amidst the negativity
The deep sigh really hits.
Loving this video Datto, and I’m really happy that I found your channel man. Wishing you all the best during this crisis.
Man, year 7 of destiny. Some of us went through a long journey. Well, i hope it doesn't end here. Thanks Datto for all your work. You are a great member of the destiny community, and i hope it stays that way.
I know this is a Destiny Retrospective but this meant more to me as a Datto Retrospective and all I can say is that I am so happy for you and have nothing but love for you. In these crazy times you gotta keep your mental state positive and surround yourself with those whom you love and love you.
Much respect to you brother and keep on growing!
Man I was emotional at the end since the "if someone can make a comeback is Destiny" and as you got more personal I got more emotional. Thanks for everything Datto, we love you.
Dude
You literally said everything i have felt with this game from Day 1
A roller coaster of emotions lol
Why why why am i still here playing this game
You put this all into words
Thanks for your time with these shared thoughts that Im sure, like myself, many others have felt.
Keep up the great work and continue to enjoy your personal life with your girl and friends.
“I wanted to look better feel better” that hit hard
You rock datto. I just came back to destiny. Been around since year 1 and I've always loved your content. It's too easy for us consumers to forget the stress and work that you guys put into this. Keep it up brother!
Mental health is key. Glad you’re doing better and I’ll always enjoy the content you bring the world. Thanks Datto
Love when he mentions finding a wonderful partner, it's a shot of Sharkk, Danielle, and Mr. Fruit. I wonder who he meant when he said that. I personally suggest a fight to the death to decide.
The part with Danielle was so cute! I can also kinda relate to it since I found my bf trough Crown of sorrow, we‘ve been together for almost a year now! Destiny changes life’s man!
Maybe that’s why it’s called destiny lol
You know, I've not always agreed with your stance on many things, mostly when it comes to game difficulty (of course, it's not as easy as 1-2-3 to fine-tune a game), but I will say this: if there's one content creator I can always come back to for this game, that won't just metaphorically suck it's dick, or adversely, talk shit about it until the cows come home, it's you.
Plus, watching you pull yourself up, and put yourself in a good place, is inspiring me to try and do the same, and while I haven't made a massive amount of progress, I can say that I feel better than I have in years. It's nice to see a content creator level with their community, and show themselves unabashed, is really influential.
Thank you for being with the community. Here's to your 8 years, and hopeful, 8 years more. Cheers.
My favourite datto vid of all time... So happy you both found each other... Such an awesome couple!
Hands down my favorite Destiny UA-camr. I've been watching your videos since D1 and the quality, consistency and straightforwardness never fails and never gets tiring. A very clean summary of D2's history, and personal experience. I hope Beyond Light brings a breath of fresh air for yourself, and the rest of us, only time will tell.
“The games only gotten better”
Season 10: *”Allow me to introduce myself”*
He was talking about Destiny 1 from Taken king to RoI lol
I only hope that it gets more amazing
Same
This is why I like datto so much he’s really genuine in his videos
I've been a subscriber to you Datto since the days of The Vault Of Glass. Watching how you had improved yourself, and your UA-cam channel from what it was to what it is now is truly special. I used to be one of those subscribers that only subscribed for the Destiny content, but over the years of watching your other videos from Golf With Your Friends, MH:W, to even the makeover videos back in 2017, I've became invested in you as a content creator and less of the content you were creating. You had showed me that I can improve myself no matter what it was. You've been an inspiration to me, showing that "there really is a light at the end of the tunnel". Even when I had completely disconnected myself from reality and from Destiny, I found comfort joy watching your videos and streams.
Thank you Datto for everything you have done, and continue to do. I'll still be a supporter of your content, regardless of what it is.
To me Datto you are the variety content creator. I will watch almost anything you make.
Wait, 46 minutes? Damn, your voice is too soothing. I sat through waves of nostalgia from seasons 1-7. Definitely qualified for much more man, definitely.
7 year retrospective..... Oof, 7years. You'd figure with Bungies love of the number 7 they'd have the game fixed by 7 years 😂😂😂. Damn, can't believe it's been 7(ish) years since I did my first destiny raid with random level 27s from the tower.
I talk to three of my randoms almost every day. It is bittersweet when I try to remember the golden age.
I redownloded destiny 1 this week and oh my god it is so much fun doing all the stories and quests again
Destiny 1 makes strike grinding for hours fun
Your really candid explanations of how your life has been interwoven with Destiny and your channel, and how that reflected on your feeling, was both interesting and rather heart-warming. Whatever the content you make in the future, as well as my T-shirt of yours currently in the post, I look forward to both greatly!
I've never been active in your channels, but have watched you and followed your steps and guides since right before forsaken. Thank you for the content you make and ease don't ever stop, even if it means taking steps outside of destiny.
Still the best Destiny UA-camr. Datto, you’ve helped me a incredible amount in Destiny 1 and 2, tysm.
The video starts as 0:00
Doing gods work. Thanks for the timestamp skipping the filler.
May you be blessed with good rng
Video ends at 46:24
марк сафронов thank u my son
Thanks
Around the 21 minute mark with Danielle wholesome
I am very glad I left D2 after 1.5 years at the start to come back to D2 3 months ago now to what the state of D2 is in. To me it is the best game it has ever been for how its been reworked and whats been added. Even versus D1 all 3ish years of it.
Been listening/watching you for a while and I'm glad to see you are happy and have found things/people that make you happy. Keep up the great work
I remember watching a channel called “Destiny Updates” and going wild with speculation before release. I imagined I would camp outside a cabal fortress at night with my fireteams waiting for a hole in the cabal patrols to sneak in. But nah, we just disintegrate them like nothing.
Congrats datto! Still the go-to for everything destiny :)
Watched every second of this video. Very well done. Here’s to “Retrospective 3”. Cheers
Datto, you're the one of the reasons I love destiny. You talk in such a way that just is fun to listen to, you make destiny much more interesting than it already is.
“what could they possibly do for season 11?”-seems that destroying half the planets on the roster worked wonders,or at least the hype got up
How to get new players to grind their life away before new expansion 101.
maybe the latter but NOT the former
Lmao y'all completely missed the REASON for this happening
27:26
Datto: “The next big thing.”
My D1 flashback: “Actually, I’m pretty famous on Mars, so...”
Strange Coin one of my favorite shot guns from D1
Oh thank god! The whole time in the video I was like, please don’t say I quit Destiny2 please please! You and Haondish and Mtashed are my favorite destiny2 content creators, I can’t lose any of you!
Byf too😅
hi datto, just used one of your tutorials to do crown of sorrows for the first time. made it easy to learn the mechanics.
Took me a couple days, but I listened all the way through - great retrospective Datto. Nice to see a tad bit of vulnerability from you tubers sharing their lives with us. Keep up the great work, definitely my favorite destiny creator. Cheers pal!
Watch to the end boys, you won't regret.
Been here since the Crota days, the way this entire video went felt like we were sitting down for a group conversation to acknowledge all the game has been through. I really love Destiny and found life long best friends in early Crota, and still play D2 every now and then with them to this day. Your guides have helped us all and the jokes and tongue-in-cheek references we still joke about from old Datto videos never cease to get a chuckle out of me. I feel your burnout man, but keep your head up! I know I don't like the videos often, but know that I enjoy all your content, no matter the game or subject matter. Keep up the good work man, and live your best life!
