I met my best friends in destiny 1 during the first ever iron banner. They were sitting next to Lord Saladin. I asked to join their fireteam and through talking, i found out they lived like 5 miles away. We have been friends since that day.
Swear! My clan mates in destiny we all live within about a 3 hour distance of eachother! For a buddies bday, we ended up all meeting up and playing paintball! Shit was so cool. I tell almost anyone and their like” isn’t that unsafe”n all I gotta say is they’ve been there with me for almost 6-7 years now!
@@gehrigtipton8259 we also first met over a friends birthday haha. We were all around the same age as well so its made things easier for us to bond more
destiny is a franchise that will hold a special place in my heart. no other game, destiny killer or not could replace the experience and memories of what is destiny 2.
@@LaidusonPlaysIMO after the latest expansions and the final shape, game wise they redeemed themselves, it was their own greedy mistake of messing with the game and getting rid of things to add new things instead of just making a 3rd game that made most dislike destiny, and the money stuff, but there’s still hope IMO that Destiny still has plenty more in it, after all they said it’d be as big as a franchise like Star Wars at the start🤌🏼
@GYB7 i just bought a bunch of expansions and they still want to charge me for dungeon keys. Maybe i don't know enough about games, but what the hell is a dungeon key and why didn't they include it in the price of the game?
@@godforreal7355 I saw that too after downloading the game back, people call it greed, my guess is they burnt out of funds somewhere in the making or somewhere in the journey of the second game, since they didn’t have micro transactions till midway of the first game, and that was just for coins for cosmetics, until the second game when they charged for skins and other things cosmetics wise, they burnt out of funds, and getting rid of content and the stuff I mentioned in my first comment was a way to not only save money instead of making a 3rd game but make more by recharging people for DLCs and so on, which also caused poor story and character writing in some parts of the DLCs like Lightfall and the Echoes thing going on/other story’s, which they can dig themselves out of, they did phenomenal with The Final Shape in my opinion, it’s just up to the company and developer to listen again and make another giant leap forward to regain their honor (granted most who left because of some bad writing I think are kind of fickle) but I still have hope

Same lol. I don’t really have anything in D2 that I enjoyed more than 1. Hell 1 was so good that as a Hail Mary the devs are literally just copying 1 to fix 2
Destiny 1 on Xbox anyway is still doing decent, I re downloaded it and been playing for maybe 2-3 weeks, can’t find pvp matches but everything else runs smoothly
But like most people say "I hate Destiny 2, but its my favorite game" I can relate to this very much because of the addiction it gave me when hunting down raid exotics and trying to get trible stats on all the characters. Hunting down adept weapons, doing the shitty stasis shard quests, doing the campaing 3 times every expansion, dick mesuring with my friends who does the most dps on a raid boss encounter and the most important thing, who had the best fit..
I still dip in now and again but there were other games I wanted to play, and playing D2 just takes up too much time these days plus it seems to be all about the cash these days
I remember loading into the Tower in Y1D1. I remember being so overwhelmed with the amount of stuff to do. There was always something to do. For over 10 years now, I stuck by Bungie. I always had hope they'd turn this game I loved into something amazing. They did. Then I saw them release Destiny 2. Heart broken. They eventually fixed it by Forsaken, they started to make the game great. But they got so damned greedy. They kept making changes that were hazardous to the game, and the players they brought back started leaving. From Shadowkeep onwards, even as I kept playing, I watched Clan after Clan I was in die. I watched my friends move on to other games. I still stuck by it, right up until Final Shape. I don't boot up Destiny 2 any more. It's so sad seeing something I loved bleed to death over so many years. I'm really sad Bungie botched this. Destiny could've been the biggest gaming franchise ever. Now it'll fade into obscurity as it finishes its death-throws.
This is not entirely true. There was a time in Destiny’s beginning where there was nothing to do and the game was empty and no one knew what the storyline meant. I was on the verge of quitting D1 until they gave us swords.
Year 1 player. Tried to get into D2 at launch but no random rolls and bitter they expected me to forget all those weapons and armour I’d grinded. Should have just kept updating D1 as an MMO RPG FPS. Tried D2 about 6 months ago but it was so over complicated I reinstalled D1 and still loving it. Trying to solo Nightfall each week, usually failing but occasionally doing it and feeling amazing!! And rumble mayhem and clash is a blast. D1 is amazing!
i bonded with my single most best friend in 8th grade because of the taken king. we were talking about it in class and he was sad that since he didn’t have enough saved to get an xbox one he couldn’t play it on release, so i gave him some cash so we could play it on release. and after all these years ive graduated college and we’re still solid as ever. i don’t know if we would’ve had that bond without destiny being around so ill forever love destiny and i’ll be playing until bungie stops making content for it
10 years of Destiny was the best Love Hate Pain N Joy Ive ever felt in gaming. Im sick of it now but the nostalgia hits me right in the feels already. "Eyes up Guardians"
@@norsefirefighter it has everything to do with greed. every bad thing that humans do stems from greed. it's quite literally the biggest flaw in humanity
I was first introduced to destiny when I was 6(2015). I was at my uncle’s house and I walked into his “man cave” to see him playing some game on his xbox one(which made me heartbroken to hear that he sold it 2 weeks ago) and he asked me if I wanted to watch him play. I said yes because I loved watching him play games on it, plus it was a game I had never seen him play before. I sat down on his couch and watched for about 30 minutes when he asked me if I wanted to play. The game looked cool and fun, so I said yes. He gave me to controller and headset and I also realized he had been playing with one of my older cousins. The part he was letting me play was the final boss fight in a mission on the dreadnought. It was the one on the crashed cabal ship inside the dreadnought and you had destroy a cabal tank inside(which was the final boss). My cousin did most of the work while I just ran around shooting legionaries and psions. My cousin got the boss down really low and my uncle told me to press left bumper and right bumper at the same time. I didn’t know what it did until I saw my character glowing blue(activated stormtrance) and he told me to start electrocuting the tank. I did what he told me to and I got the kill which made me really happy and asked him if he could get me the game. He said he would and for my seventh birthday, he got me destiny the collection, which came with all of the expansions including Taken King and Rise of Iron. Ever since then, I have not stopped playing it.
I removed the game from my harddrive within an hour or two after beating the Witness in the 12-man coup de grace type activity. That scene where you're sitting on the Helm looking out at the Traveler will forever be the final, sweetest memory I have of the game, and there's no way it won't be all downhill from there if I stuck around. Maybe - maybe - I'll come back for the inevitable server-shutdown community event, but Final Shape was the best possible high note to just pull the ripcord and abandon ship on. Might as well take it.
@@spakentruth there has literally been no confirmation of that from a credible source, the only thing said was by one leaker who is "usually right" and all he said was the company was throwing around the idea of going from one big expansion to 2 smaller expansions per year. which would still be content.
@@ScarletSpeedster3691 you know what is confirmed? all the layoffs. you cant output the same level or scale of content at the same quality with significantly fewer people. Youre coping if you believe theyll still pull through after this.
The last 10 years have been some of the best gaming experiences I’ve had just through Destiny, I’ve met so many lifelong friends through this game and soon I’m gonna be flying out to go to one of their weddings. We started this game when we were kids and got to grow up with it and with each other through lows and highs in all of our lives. The worst part of all of it however is that we didn’t get to watch a franchise we love come to an amazing conclusion like we wanted it to, we had to watch it tell an amazing campaign story with all this content at the ready only to watch it die suddenly due to corporate greed and nothing else
This is how I bonded with my 2 sons..This game raised them with me and I love how close we are to this day even tho Im the last guardian and they have moved on..I love u Matt and Jack Thank U destiny
No ur just coping or u actually find it fun still either or we are all loyal fans we left because the game became bad and with barely any content to play and with all the layoffs im not supporting them with more money u can if u want to but most of us left bc we miss destiny for what it was what we had we left because of what it became dont gatekeep and be like loyal fans stay brother we all are loyal fans just some got tired of there bullshit and some didnt @ORACLEANTIFREZRGAMINGALT
@codycry3196 correction I said "most loyal fans" remain in the game there is a huge difference between loyal to the game and most loyal to the also yeah I still find this game fun so I'm still playing it also don't want keep playing this game much longer so I'm putting destiny 2 behind me maybe after the next festival of the lost won't even touch episode content after this first one
I was 11 when I first started playing destiny. Nothing has ever made me feel like walking down the stairs on earth and seeing the three hive with the skull levels. I remember when House of Wolves was released and I beat my first prison of elders with a chest key and got to open the locked chest. I was enthralled as a kid with destiny 1. Crazy times I have a distinct remembrance of the smell of a ps4 controller cuz when I would get exited I would hold the controller right under my nose. Remember my controller dying mid crotas end and rushing to switch to my other one. First time I ever skipped school was to play destiny 1. Remember self rezzing on trials and using the ice breaker every game. Remember getting the thorn quest for the first time and how long it took me to complete it. My first Vault of Glass and how horrifying the gorgons were to me. Core memories. The way the colors and art came together made every moment so intense. Countless glitches like using your sparrow to explore the dlc area on earth, glitching into the iron banner area, Getting on top of mars in the final campaign mission. The vibe exploring things like that was amazing. Remember when they switched from the 34 level based light system to the 320 one when taken king came out and I wasnt a fan at first. The dreadnaught is also a core memory for me and the taken enemies were so cool. I wasnt really a refined player as a kid, couldn't be expected to be, I would just put a lot of energy in without awareness of what I was doing with my hands. Just jumping like my life depended on it. I remember discovering the lore on the grimoire website and being so interested in reading everything I could. Made so many friends playing that taught me so much about the game.
This video could not have come at a better time. I just uninstalled Destiny 2 the other day. It genuinely brought me to tears, to think of my Guardian, after defeating The Witness, simply vanishing. Did they leave the system? Kill themself? Simply decide to live a simple life somewhere out in the wilderness? Who knows? The only thing left of them is memories, a chalk-full Vault, and a plethora of goodbye letters. I’ll miss you Destiny, but I can’t stay and watch you bleed out.
"It's been a hell of a ride, but I'm thinkin it's time to go." A quote from some random ass song I shouldn't be quoting, it'll always be true tho. It has been a hell of a ride.
0:15 I’ve never forgotten what bungie has sunset and what I, to this day, still cannot go back and play. Something I OWN but a greedy dev thinks they have the right to disable never allowed to access again. Wrong. You cannot legally steal a product I have paid for!!!!
I completely understand, however if we're talking legally, just because you pay for a license does not mean you have exclusive rights. It is unfair though. it's not the devs It is publishers and shareholders. But please understand that you do not own any video game no matter how much you pay for it. Even physical games are licensed media that you can use and not own.

I remember playing Destiny 1 when I was a kid. I didn't have any expansions so I'd just replay the campaign over and over. Then I heard about D2 and I bought it excitedly, pre-ordering it for Coldheart. The Red War was incredible and sparked my interest, then I got bored for a bit. Warmind was better than Osiris but inly slightly, and while both still gave me enjoyable moments they were much less interesting. Then came Forsaken, and ironically, my issues began to start. Destiny had just killed off Cayde, my favourite character, for almost no reason but to get players to return. For the first time, the game I used to play nightly, returning to destinations just to enjoy the godly gun mechanics, had burnt a card to pull us back. I saw the truck with my own eyes, and I enjoyed the campaign as a little of my trust in Bungie burned away. Then came the sunsetting. Everything went away and a wildfire began where that card had burned. I had no faith that Bungie would make it better, and Shadowkeep didn't help that. Beyond Light just froze it over temporarily.. but with Witch Queen I thought I saw just a speck of hope. Still solo, as I was since the beginning, I trudged on. I had none of the masterworks other fireteams had, I was missing countless exotics and had never (and still never have) completed a raid before. Only completing the Bungie dungeon. I skipped the rest until recently and coming back, the game is too complex for it's own good. The new mechanics are nice, but there are way too many menus and systems, and the seasonal model has crippled player enjoyment. Lightfall sucked ass. I still haven't finished it as the final fight is complete bullshit. The start of The Final Shape, abd probably the final time I'll play D2. I stared at a roadblock. I wasn't going to buy the dlc because it was overpriced and the game was dead, but even then I didn't have strand, so I couldn't play it. I enjoyed prismatic. In another time, in another place, it would've reignited my passion. If we got prismatic in the red war and Bungie didn't ruin the game I would be singing their praises.. but we didn't get that. It felt like a cold game. I felt like I was playing with a pet for the last time as I put it down for good. But I felt no sadness, just rage at Bungie, at their bullshit CEO. Destiny was incredible, it was an experience. But it *_WAS_* and it isn't now... God I wish we could go back and fix it all.. - A dejected former Destiny player, solo since the beginning, who feels betrayed, backstabbed and melancholy in response to the game finally dying it's final death, as I long ago proclaimed it would inevitably do, to the blind and deaf ears of others who hoped against hope it was not rotten to the core.
I semi recently lost my main friend group over some dumb drama with my group, we all played destiny together starting with destiny 1. I left destiny 2 when that happened and honestly I feel like I only have good memories to look back on. It's sad to see the state of destiny but I won't forget the years of fun I had with my friends and all the randoms I met along the way.
I'm in the same situation. Literally lived with the family I raided with for almost a year and every week we'd have a raid night. Some of the best days of my life and no one from that family talks to me anymore. I'll forever miss them but forever be grateful to them for the memories and taking me in during one of the hardest periods of my life
Destiny 1 got me through the toughest time of my life…. Caring for my father on hospice. He enjoyed watching me play!! Destiny was my escape from my reality that was in front of me. My father passed and I have been playing ever since! I feel like I could finally say good bye because it’s not what it used to be❤ will always keep my memories of Destiny dear to my heart, the friends I have made and lost into the abyss. The good times and bad!! I will always be a guardian!
After hearing the news, I couldn't help but shed a tear, I played since destiny 1 beta and quit in destiny 2 witch queen, but I always loved and adored the universe and the lore, so much so that I bought the entire grimoire anthology, I've made amazing friends and fond memories through destiny, hate to see it end
I've never had a game quite like this. Honestly speaking D2 has been the only game I've ever played in my life, getting a PS4 in 2018 and trying this game out, then switching to my TERRIBLE laptop and playing D2 on it. I'll never forget the agonising experience of doing trials on 20 fps, raids during online classes (covid yippee!!), the gambit shenanigans. I've met some people I LOVE because of this game. Had some of the best times, but some of the worst too. I'll always love it for what it's done for me, but it's time to let go now. "I'm coming home, Ace."
I was 11 when I played the release of D1, I remember how op the thorn was, getting the Ghorn from xur, running vog over 500 times hoping for that 1 drop of the vex, playing w randoms till sunrise, glitching chests on Venus for treasure keys for the house of wolves release, quick scoping w the greatest sniper of all time (defiance of yasmin), running trials of Osiris for the beautiful armor sets, and of course opening blue engrams and somehow getting an exotic. D1 was and will always be my favorite game. This game was truly a masterpiece and a large part of my childhood.
Beta tester/player here! I wish i could show everyone my memories of everything destiny that occurred. I predicted so much youd of thought i was writing it. Its a shame...but im still so happy to have lived it. The image of sitting at the tower, just staring at the traveler, the city, other guardians... Burned into my brain. For what its worth, i enjoyed being a guardian with all of you.
It was winter, Rise Of Iron just released, we got a cool PS4 theme with the Iron Wolves and me and my friends were getting ready in The Tower, I'll never forget those days.
The most stress-free and burden-free moment was the day I quit Destiny. I sleep better, I enjoy life better, I can play other games without feeling the shame of missing out. Enjoy your rest Guardian. Game On.
I've played since the beginning of D1 when I was in middle school. Probably gave Bungo a little too much money, but I had a blast with everything I did since then. Doing all the raids, playing all the missions, and keeping up with all the seasonal content, this game will remain unforgettable for me. I was suppose to be studying for my finals in college when I completed Salvations Edge really late into the night. And after doing the last mission with the witness being defeated, I haven't touched the game since. I felt so content with where the story ended and I wanted to leave on a high note.
Is hard to see this game end I was just a kid in 2014 playing sepikis prime mission like 10x a day because was the demo and now 10y later I’m still playing …
Met couple of my frieds that i still play with to this day while I was carrying them through Scourge of the Past when its came out . One of them once told me "first time I met you , you sounded like complete asshole 'go do this , go to that , listen close , if you fail I leave' but then he sad "I so glad i met you dude"
nothing will ever replace what Destiny 2 was to me, and it is a special type of sadness in a way ig knowing that the content you feel in love with is gone i adored, the red war, curse of osiris, warmind and forsaken and i will never get over the vaulting of them tbh
Taken War vet. Followed Destiny 1 and 2 through it’s highs and MANY lows. Finished the war a month or so ago. Probably right after the second round of layoffs. Seeing how badly managed Bungie and Destiny have been for so many years told me that that final battle against the Witness was as good an ending as Destiny was likely to ever get and everything after would just be a sharp decline in quality and content just to keep players login in. So, I uninstalled, and don’t wanna look back, no matter what. It’s tough, trying to quit a decade-long source of entertainment. An addiction to kick like smoking or eating too much shit that only makes you fat. But I hope I can kick it and many other players and content creators that have made their lives around the game can do so. That’s not to say that the memories of the good times - the raids and dungeons conquered (and yeah I mostly used LFG for those because where there's a will and WANT for good loot, there's a way); those rare, good Crucible matches and even rarer trips to the Lighthouse - will always be precious to me. I know this game brought many people together in more ways that one. That it changed lives, for better or worse. Everyone should cherish the good, no matter what, and hope that was what good enriched their lives. Take that from the experience, if nothing else. And move on. Forward momentum, as Amanda (RIP) said.
the part of destiny i loved the most was the dreadnaught with all of it's mysteries, puzzles, world events and unique activities available on patrol. they never topped that with any subsequent location. Kings fall raid that came with it was also great.
Dr. Seuss would've been in shambles finding out what they did to Forsaken. Great video man, I'll always love this game despite it's shortcomings. Shout out to all the Canadian friends I met along this journey, the summers we spent struggling through Garden of Salvation, Scourge of the Past, and every raid on the Leviathan will not be forgotten.
Some good friends got me into D1, the three of us had a great time. we all stopped playing before rise of iron came out, but i kept going longer than they did. I picked up D2 just in time for Season of the Chosen, and by chance met a pair of brothers who then recruited a few others and we just like that we were a clan and raid team. Saturday night was raid night for about two years. We managed Vault, Kings Fall, Last Fish, and Rhulk on our win list. Not bad for a bunch of filthy casuals usually loaded up with memes over meta. We fell off, losing interest in the game over time... Lightfall was the end of it, really. There were other things to play. We still keep in contact. I kept going, but Season of the Witch is where I finally lost my steam. Destiny is a fantastic core experience, it feels great to play, but my gods does it disrespect your time. I just don't want to engage with it's grindy faff, it's like fun became an anathema to some systems in there. Final Shape looks kinda good though. Maybe i'll try it one day if it goes on sale, and if I can possibly get the band back together for one last hurrah. Titan main for life.
I still remember being in middle school, getting this game for christmas (as well as my dad), not being able to play it all day b/c of the lizard squad stuff.. Ended up being one of our favorite games and we would play almost every Sat. and Sun. until d2 came out
Great video! Destiny is so special to me. I remember first playing the game during the beta, then on full release trying Hunter for the first time in 2014. It's a game I will never forget, especially the mystery and soundtrack💙 P.S. You also earned a new sub!
I'm a new player, around 3 months, in a newish clan with small semi strict acceptance policy (have fun, no trouble makers or drama, help one another). We're having a great time. I don't have the past to judge on how current play should be compared too. Some of them are day one players too and are having a good time especially helping us. I'm just gonna keep grinding and having fun.
Shows how everyone has different views. For me his points about d1 don’t make much sense. The mission shows what dlc they are from and if you just keep doing the missions the quest tells you, you wouldn’t be confused (story is still confusing just like it always was)
This was an incredible video given the size of your channel. Glad it came across my feed! I played destiny 1 from launch through all expansions and destiny 2 from launch up until the witch queen and unfortunately never felt the joy to come back to the game. I think through all the good and bad decisions and changes that the game has experienced it is indeed time that this franchise is put to rest so that new players can come to the table and so that the talented developers can move onto new and fresh ideas starting with a clean slate.
I will always have a place in my heart for Destiny. This game was hella fun and I met some really great people and great players. All good things must come to an end! Thank you Bungie! Thank you Destiny!
Your D2 vanilla experience is really interesting to me, mainly because for me it was completely awful. Like, almost killed my interest in the franchise bad, a sentiment I know I wasn't alone in feeling. The Red War was decent but even that was a shadow of the Taken War campaign that proceeded it. And after the campaign was done... nothing. One raid clear per week (a middling raid at that), Your three strikes and your three crucible matches (multiply for different characters ig). Static rolls on the weapons and the double primary system made the game feel terrible to play and horribly unrewarding. Forsaken saved my waning interest in the game as it reintroduced some semblance of complexity. Delivered the best story beat they had ever done too. But Shadowkeep lost me once again. Stasis and Light 3.0 quite literally were the saving grace for Destiny for me. Builds became a real thing, not just pick two exotics and a subclass tree. In the year of Shadowkeep I completely stopped playing in favor of the Division and Warframe, games that didn't seem ashamed of their status as a buildcrafting looter. Anyway just wanted to give my two cents, good video brother.
I was around 15 when the destiny 1 beta came out I played as a titan and 10 years later what do you know im still a titan as much as i loved the game i just dont see a point into playing the game anymore. I still cherish all the happy memoires and the amazing loot i gathered in the years its been a blast guardian
Man this was the best 6 years in gaming i have ever had, so many friends and so many memories. I first started the game with my dad i think i was about 9, this game was amazingly beautiful, i spent every second after school playing this game, when they unveiled destiny 2 i played it for quite a while but i didnt play it cause i liked it, i think after all that time i had spent in d1 just for it to be taken away in d2 i think i just stuck with it because i was so invested in the characters like cayde-6 "best character" but after they killed of my man i stopped playing been playing Warframe ever since best $0 ive ever spent 😂
You believe destiny died cuz it had a dip of players towards the end of a season, they laid off a few ppl and this guy makes a video? How dumb are ppl......
I really enjoyed this video, and I could really relate because my experience was so very similar. Some of my most cherished memories are while playing Destiny. Hours on end trying to complete raids, and feeling I was the worst in the raid group 😂. Also, the race to see who could hit max light first. Idk, Destiny is one if those games that really hit home. Thank you.
Great video bro, really enjoyed it! I'm sorry that you missed out on most of the raids, I joined a clan and had access to fellow players for basically every raid, even sherpas who would teach it. I cmpleted every raid (except the Lightfall one, because I did not buy that pos LOL) and bro, they are the best content in the game!
seeing big youtubers and casual destiny players alike making videos like these on mass makes me really sad its hard watching something you love become a memory
I feel the most nostalgic about court of oryx and getting touch of malice for the first time that was a serious grind for an exotic or even sleeper quest in D1 was legendary too. It’s sad pete parsons decided to sunset the game.
Nothing lasts forever, you found hope in the game. Don't ever question why you've done something that you enjoyed. You enjoyed it because it meant something to you, and the fact that bungie allowed you and all of us the proper ending... its a beautiful thing for all of us who found meaning or enjoyment; it makes letting go easier. Just like when you love someone enough, it will hurt to let them go. Not everyone can let go of someone or something they love with a proper ending and im grateful Bungie delivered us that fulfilment. I uninstalled Destiny 2 today with no plans of returning. I had as much fun as I could imagine from Day 1 raid completions to just making good memories in a beautiful sandbox. It will be the same feeling as the Halo games being left behind for me, they mean alot, but its over. It's time to move on and try and discover new things to give meaning. Just like everything in life.
Destiny was a journey. Many ups and many downs, many highs and lows. Started playing in my mid 30s and now I’m an old man. Sometimes the extended gameplay hours make these aging hands ache. I’m kinda glad it’s coming to a close. I need to concentrate more on these last years of my music and save my arthritis hands for that. It’s time we all move on.
Destiny has been amazing i started when it was released on Xbox during the first game played the hell out it (still have my slayer of oryx badge to prove it) so i was hyped for destiny 2 and i stll play to this day Destiny for real saved my life too i was in a job i hated my home life was complete crap and my online life felt like it was falling apart because i Lost several friends to suicide and destiny was that excape i needed and playing Solo during some of the more difficult parts of the games gave me a good distraction from life. Whje they released all the mental health kits those really helped me cope and eventually move to a place im my life that's way better I cut back on my time online, slowly worked to improve my homelife and left that terrible job but that also ment i didn't have enough time to play so i took a huge break Left during the ice stuff and came back for light fall I can say confidential if it wasn't for destiny id have died a long time ago and i wouldn't be where i am today without it. But remember guardians we are never alone
I played with random people who became a regular fire/raid team. I'd speak to these guys nightly . Eventually 1 by 1 they stopped so when D2 came out and the recap showed dates and names it hit me twice as hard . I was solo .
I remember coming home from school and playing D1 for as long as I could every day. Then D2 came along. By that time I was in college. I deleted D2 about 2 years ago. About a week ago I redownloaded it. And honestly? I’m glad I did. This game can make you happy, mad, sad etc. but at the end of the day, it will always be there. ❤️
Its crazy to think about the fact that i started playing Destiny 1 when i was, now i am 18 and still play the game every now and then. This game has held my hand through most of my life and gave me my most cherished moments and friends i couldve ever wished for. Every time i hear about the end of Destiny, i actually start to cry just because this game means the world to me. I cant even describe how badly i want to be 10 again, playing through the Story and Raids with some random old ass dudes i met on a playstation community server, grinding through every quest. Destiny 1 is and will forever be the perfect game for me, i blow off the dust from my Playstation every once in a while to just to play through the Campaign again, trying to relive my so very cherished memories. Sadly things will never be the same, and we need to let go of everything at some point in life, but trying to let go of Destiny always seems too hard of a task for me. The value of the memories and my emotions towards this game cant ever be put into words. I just have this very slight spark hope that Bungie will turn a 180 just like they did with Taken King and Forsaken, surprising the enitre community and pulling back their player base reaching peak players, but seeing whats happening with this game, currently leaves absolutely no room for hope...
Corporate killed the game lol… I stopped playing and I’ll even admit that. You can’t say “fomo killed the game” when it had 70k players until they announced there’s nothing more coming to the game
I miss the good ol' days of Destiny. Hopping on with my dad as we complete campaign mission after campaign mission. Not only was it uniquely different with the abilities. It was uniquely amazing. During that time there wasn't a better game that i could've been playing. I'll never forget those amazing memories of one of my favorite games😢
Oh brother ur words just hit me like a Truck. All the beautiful memories I've made in this Game are just priceless. With over 10k hrs in total in this Game I can tell you that it was a hell of a ride as Cayde said. All the Raids, Strikes, Dungeons, Public Events, GMs etc. I've done, all the farming for the God Rolls I've never got to drop, all the fun I had just beeing online. The pure Joy after I came home from work to my friends waiting for me to get into the Raid we planed to clear... & my personal Journey in the Crucible wich I mained until now. I wen't from a 0.56 K/D hating every minute of the Crucible to a 1.87 K/D Overall with over 200k Kills just in PvP & I remember every minute of my PvP Journey... & forward to today as I am writing this comment I think I can 100% say it is time for me. My Time has come & I think it's a good time. Sometime u just have to except, that someday u need to burry good memories & let them be good memories... The Game will never be the same & wether we wanted it or not, we stepped into a war with ourselfs constantly asking WHY? WHY dont I love this Game as I used to? WHY aren't those memories comming back? WHY do I hate this game more, than I love it nowdays? Well my fellow Guardians, because the time has come that an Era is ending & My Era is ending with it. I support this Game until the last Episode: Heresy & after that I will lay it down to rest. Thank u Guardians for all the good times I've had, thank u Bungie for giving me an Escape from Reality & a Game I played 10 years sraight until today, but my Heart is hardened & sadened to admit that this last Episode will be my last Ride with u ''Oh my Destiny mine'' I hope someone just read this comment & felt the Joy in his/her heart & the Pain wich came a millisecond later knowing that this maybe someday will be ur last day to in this Game. Thank you Destiny! And for the ending: Eyes up Guardian!
This will be my last time ever watching a Destiny video or commenting on one now time for my message I loved Destiny I played it for a while since 2016 I had so much fun and spent a lot of money I even bought the annual pass…for every dlc I’ve only done one raid I never got plenty of exotics I wish I could get those but I’m done it doesn’t matter now bungie ruined it corporate greed made me leave if they somehow turn around I’ll play again but this ship hit a iceberg many times it somehow repaired it so many times but it’s taken too many hits now it’s sinking and there’s nothing they can do to fix it goodbye Destiny community it was fun it was bad I loved it I hated it and I am saying goodbye bye
Warframe was the better horse in this race. The devs still play it frequently, streaming and such. They generally seem to enjoy the product they have made. It’s had no reboots, remakes or soft resets. Nothing from the games history has ever been “sunset” or taken away. It adds systems upon systems to ensure total user customisation and to ensure anything from the starter weapons to a grinded late game weapon can be upgraded and modified into being end game viable. The PvP meta is swamped by limbo users because of its ability to teleport players into another dimension and then close the door way lol. Plus it’s completely free and in game currency is quite easy to make.
RIP this game, i spent so much time growing up on this game it captured me from around middle school and have spent years and years just waiting for a peak that never happened.
damn. i've been with destiny since it launched. had it been this long? I feel old. well, guess there's no better way to give it a proper sendoff. rest in peace, destiny. you created the guardians. you created a community. you created some of the best times of our lives.
im going to miss new content to destiny. i dont think there will be another fps to capture my haert like destiny did. i started last season. season of the wish. however i watch my brother play destiny 2. wasnt play destiny for 3 months i think when final shape came out and my brother bought it for me. im pissed at bungie for ending it right here i guess but all things have to end. there would have been some great content in destiny 3 if bungie changed how they made destiny. like the witness was the knife of a stronger being. thinking about it now. i hadnt had much time with cayde and yet i miss him. the only time i truly got to meet cayde and have fun even tho his voice lines were preset. i guess im not ready to move from destiny, it was a good run, fun will it lasted.
I got D1 for Christmas when I was 11 yrs old along with the Xbox one when it was still new. I had played through the campaign and had a blast and immediately went over to crucible, where my first ever exotic gun was the last word after a few days of playing (love the old post-match rng). this gun made me fall in love with the game and I still use it often when I wanna get shit on in todays crucible. I'll never forget running around the cosmodrome doing patrols, the sparrow racing event, finishing crotas end for the first time, running prison of elders till 5 in the morning, playing the shit out of the taken king and just running around the dreadnaught. After ttk I took a break from the game and missed out on rise of iron. Once D2 was announced and had come out around my birthday I was playing from day one with my older brother and those were some of the best memories I've made. shoutout to the farm, that shit was cool and I wish bungie still kept it. I've played through every D2 dlc since and the most fun ive had on the game was when the 30th anniversary for bungie released and my buddies and I were playing the hell out of all of the events and new dungeon. I feel like witchqueen was the last time I was truly invested in the game, and bungie kinda dropped the ball with lightfall. I'm still holding out on the final shape, but I've played through a little and I definitely like it more. Destiny will always have a place in my heart, and shoutout to the last word mains out there. Also shoutout to kobe from football who I used to stay up till 5am with playing ttk and running crucible. Gooooooood times
Destiny truly made an impact on me. Hell, I got Oryx tattooed on my shoulder for my first tattoo. I met some of my closest friends through Destiny. Specifically the Dark Below. I remember when Division came out and everyone flooded to that. Except me. I was with Destiny through and through. Til about Foresaken I had someone to play with. But Season of the Worthy in Shadowkeeep, I've been solo. It sucks but I've put too much time into Destiny. Not many games I've enjoyed since the First Destiny. Before that it was Halo 4 and Black Ops 2. Is it sad to see the end... very. I've had unforgettable moments. My first Gjally from Skolas, Soloing Crota, going Flawless for the first time,helping with the Outbreak Prime quests, all the carrying I did for King's Fall for people who never completed it. Completing Leviathan Prestige, getting Whisper of the Worm. It's all been good. But even I acknowledge the game has to end soon. I'm saddened. I was 15 when D1 launched. Proud Beta player. I'm 25 now. And it's been one hell of a decade. I'm happy with all the Guardians I've met. You've all been good. And even though past few years have been rough, Thank you Bungie
Yea i played the d1 beta expecting it to be a halo copy of sorts, and i didn't buy the game until the house of wolves dlc because none of my friends bought it when it came out. But when i first played the game and started exploring worlds, getting my first drops, my first legendary, my first exotic (which was the suros regime btw) i couldn't have been more hooked to a game and more excited to play a game for days on end. As i progressed and explored more, there was just a never-ending mystery to the game that i loved. I met some really amazing people as well. But little did i know the best parts of the game hadn't even happened yet. That was when the taken king was announced and then came out. To this day, i still have not played a video game as much as i have played destiny during the taken king and rise of iron dlcs. I have no shame in admitting that the game took over my life at that point, and when i look back at memories during those years of my life, it's all just destiny. I had played it so much that i had started to figure out sercret quests before anyone had uploaded anything about them to youtube or before any of my friends or lfg groups had mentioned them. I always had the max light as quickly as possible, and for every raid, i made sure to do them every single day of every week, making sure i play every role and also helping out new players on lfg as much as i could. Sometimes, i would even take over two roles if i needed to. I had that entire game down to instinct. Yet, it still was just as fun and just as mysterious as the first day i played it. I knew so much about the game, yet i was constantly excited and wondering about what comes next and what other secrets are out there for us to discover. Rise of iron was no different. The best and most memorable part of that dlc to me was the raid, and specifically getting outbreak prime. IMO, by far the best exotic quest for anything in all of destiny 1 and 2. The fact that we went through the raid multiple times and didn't even know it was there, and then learning about it, seeing all of the crazy codes you had to do, the extinsive questline outside of the raid itself, and even learning freaking binary 😂. And no one could ever, ever forget MathClass and their contributions to helping the community complete this quest. King's Fall will always be my favorite raid, especially because it was the first raid i attempted world's first in, and my team was in first going into golgoroth, but we had to wait for gothalion and his team to catch up because we got way too stumped and couldn't figure it out, and i went for worlds first on every raid after all the way through King's Fall's re-release in d2, but Wrath of the Machine will always be the most fun in my memories. Zamboni by itself deserves recognition for being one of the most unique and fun encounters in all of destiny. Destiny 1 during those days will always have my favorite memories in gaming, and it will always be my favorite game. The people i met, the friends i made, the mystery, the wonder, and the excitement for beating the raids, discovering secrets, finally getting that gjallarhorn drop, or any exotic drop, or getting that perfect roll and showing it off to your friends or people in lfg who had no idea what it was yet. It was truly all just perfect. A part of me regrets not buying the game and playing it when it came out, but i know i got to experience the game at its peak and got to experience and be a part of probably the most important parts of this franchise's history. Even though i don't play anymore and either can't get into what destiny has become now or just can't find the time to, i am absolutely thankful Bungie made this franchise and i hope it continues to grow. And more than anything, i hope they figure out a way to bring the mystery and wonder back into the game. If they can achieve that, i will force myself to have time to start playing again. Until then, I'll just occasionally watch a Datto video here and there, maybe a SirD video, and reccomended videos like these whenever i want to see how the game's doing now or if i just want to reminisce. Lastly, and most importantly, rest in peace, Lance Reddick. Your command over the Vanguard will never be forgotten.
Remember my dad getting the day 1 console and especially my grandpa (Rip🙏🏼) taking me to get my taken king pack at midnight or so, the good days of destiny hold that nostalgia that those before us had in their time imo and im very much grateful to the friends who came together for good times
I started playing destiny when forsaken came out and although I didn’t start with destiny one, D2 was one of the most funnest and memorable games that i have ever played. 5 years later I finished the final shape by defeating to witness during the raid and I haven’t played it since. So happy that it was apart of my life but it’s so sad that the game is now just a husk of what it used to be. RIP
I met my wife on Destiny 1 and we still play to this day. We stuck with destiny through its ups and downs, even tho there were more downs than ups. I also met some amazing people. I haven't had a strong community of players like this scene the glory days of WoW.
i remember begging my parents to let me get the destiny on the red box for the weekends where i'd spend all my time playing it loving every minute and remembering freaking out about the new enemies, armor, and customization and types of weapons there were. Without a doubt this was and forever will be my first love for gaming. Farewell Destiny and thanks for the chance to let me BECOME LEGEND.
The Destiny 1 and Black Ops 3 days are where I met some of my best online friends, some even living in a different country yet we were still able to connect personally. I feel as if that era of gaming is coming to an end, where everyone is in a big party chat of people from their area and people they met online.
My Copy Pasta for D2 content till they give us our money spent expansions back:- I joined Destiny 2 when New Light came out and it went free, I liked the game and so I brought all the expansions up till New Light. I love farming and collecting and chasing after loots so I rushed through the missions in order to unlock Raids and get Exotics for collection, all the while thinking that I would just replay missions on my other character later on. Then came Sunsetting, all the loots that I collected gone, EXPANSIONS THAT I PURCHASED gone, every new loot had expire on it (I know it's reverted now, but dmg is done already), all of this just killed my interest in game. I came back in Beyond Light to try and play with new Stasis and I enjoyed it, but I didn't knew Cayde lore before and when I came back, I wanted to play it without rushing, but I literally could not play the thing THAT I PAID FOR! Now tell me what reason do I have to give my money to these devs and buy a game with expire date on it, that too after getting scammed and losing the expansions I spent money on?!
I love Destiny and a moment where it was a good time to leave and so my memories, even though they bring me to feel somewhat of a pit in my stomach of sadness it also brings me to a feeling of nostalgia and a moment in life at least something cared about me to all my toxic destiny, family brothers and sisters thank you for all the fun years. I’ve given up and I moved the Warframe so I’m sorry guys.
been playing destiny 1 and destiny 2 since launch on both. me and the homies from destiny 1 still play to this day. we were running iron banner just yesterday and i said to them “i guess the dream team is back” and it sure is. although destiny 1 was far better than destiny 2 i still enjoy it. it reminds me of my childhood. coming home from school and hoping on destiny till like 2 am every night then doing it all over the next day. i remember the first mission in the cosmodrome all the thralls in the dark room scaring the shit out of me to the witches in the boss rooms absolutely annihilating me, but we got through it and here we are today. guardians of the solar system and weilders of light and dark. love this game it will forever be my number one game.
Lets just all pray from the bottom of our hearts Destiny 3 will come out. I have been playing this game for so long. This game has SOOOOOO MUCH potential but due to bungies disgusting leader ship it doesnt even meet the lowest of low expectations. At this point i am 1000% sure that even a fan game of Destiny 3 would be A LOT BETTER and would see greater success than the new smallest content update that bungie has the audacity to call expansion.

You know…I’m sad, but also happy destiny is over. I can now feel explore different games without looking back.
I met my best friends in destiny 1 during the first ever iron banner. They were sitting next to Lord Saladin. I asked to join their fireteam and through talking, i found out they lived like 5 miles away. We have been friends since that day.

destiny is a franchise that will hold a special place in my heart. no other game, destiny killer or not could replace the experience and memories of what is destiny 2.
The only destiny killer was destiny itself unfortunately.
@@LaidusonPlaysIMO after the latest expansions and the final shape, game wise they redeemed themselves, it was their own greedy mistake of messing with the game and getting rid of things to add new things instead of just making a 3rd game that made most dislike destiny, and the money stuff, but there’s still hope IMO that Destiny still has plenty more in it, after all they said it’d be as big as a franchise like Star Wars at the start🤌🏼
@GYB7 i just bought a bunch of expansions and they still want to charge me for dungeon keys. Maybe i don't know enough about games, but what the hell is a dungeon key and why didn't they include it in the price of the game?
@@godforreal7355 I saw that too after downloading the game back, people call it greed, my guess is they burnt out of funds somewhere in the making or somewhere in the journey of the second game, since they didn’t have micro transactions till midway of the first game, and that was just for coins for cosmetics, until the second game when they charged for skins and other things cosmetics wise, they burnt out of funds, and getting rid of content and the stuff I mentioned in my first comment was a way to not only save money instead of making a 3rd game but make more by recharging people for DLCs and so on, which also caused poor story and character writing in some parts of the DLCs like Lightfall and the Echoes thing going on/other story’s, which they can dig themselves out of, they did phenomenal with The Final Shape in my opinion, it’s just up to the company and developer to listen again and make another giant leap forward to regain their honor (granted most who left because of some bad writing I think are kind of fickle) but I still have hope

Any time I hear the music at the end from the red war I get rly sad cuz I remember how excited destiny used to make me
Anytime I hear Journey I get sad because Pete laid off the composer that made it so he can get another classic car in his garage
Been playing since day one and I still get just as excited to fire up my Xbox as I ever have
i will forever miss destiny 1
Based AF
The first destiny was a experience
Same lol. I don’t really have anything in D2 that I enjoyed more than 1. Hell 1 was so good that as a Hail Mary the devs are literally just copying 1 to fix 2
Destiny 1 on Xbox anyway is still doing decent, I re downloaded it and been playing for maybe 2-3 weeks, can’t find pvp matches but everything else runs smoothly

But like most people say "I hate Destiny 2, but its my favorite game" I can relate to this very much because of the addiction it gave me when hunting down raid exotics and trying to get trible stats on all the characters. Hunting down adept weapons, doing the shitty stasis shard quests, doing the campaing 3 times every expansion, dick mesuring with my friends who does the most dps on a raid boss encounter and the most important thing, who had the best fit..
Me um not sick of the game I'm sick of bungie. Let a whole brand new team come in idc who. I want changes so hard I can't recognize the game anymore.
The best fit now is from eververse :(
I still dip in now and again but there were other games I wanted to play, and playing D2 just takes up too much time these days plus it seems to be all about the cash these days
I remember loading into the Tower in Y1D1. I remember being so overwhelmed with the amount of stuff to do. There was always something to do.
For over 10 years now, I stuck by Bungie. I always had hope they'd turn this game I loved into something amazing. They did.
Then I saw them release Destiny 2. Heart broken. They eventually fixed it by Forsaken, they started to make the game great. But they got so damned greedy. They kept making changes that were hazardous to the game, and the players they brought back started leaving.
From Shadowkeep onwards, even as I kept playing, I watched Clan after Clan I was in die. I watched my friends move on to other games. I still stuck by it, right up until Final Shape.
I don't boot up Destiny 2 any more. It's so sad seeing something I loved bleed to death over so many years. I'm really sad Bungie botched this. Destiny could've been the biggest gaming franchise ever. Now it'll fade into obscurity as it finishes its death-throws.
Very well stated guardian. And I'm with yah. It's so sad for me it hurts. Yes I cherish the good times. Very much so. Which is why it hurts.
Man ima cry those were good days man.
This is not entirely true.
There was a time in Destiny’s beginning where there was nothing to do and the game was empty and no one knew what the storyline meant. I was on the verge of quitting D1 until they gave us swords.
I'm staying to destiny 1 till destiny 3 or what ever comes
Year 1 player. Tried to get into D2 at launch but no random rolls and bitter they expected me to forget all those weapons and armour I’d grinded. Should have just kept updating D1 as an MMO RPG FPS. Tried D2 about 6 months ago but it was so over complicated I reinstalled D1 and still loving it. Trying to solo Nightfall each week, usually failing but occasionally doing it and feeling amazing!! And rumble mayhem and clash is a blast. D1 is amazing!
i bonded with my single most best friend in 8th grade because of the taken king. we were talking about it in class and he was sad that since he didn’t have enough saved to get an xbox one he couldn’t play it on release, so i gave him some cash so we could play it on release. and after all these years ive graduated college and we’re still solid as ever. i don’t know if we would’ve had that bond without destiny being around so ill forever love destiny and i’ll be playing until bungie stops making content for it
10 years of Destiny was the best Love Hate Pain N Joy Ive ever felt in gaming. Im sick of it now but the nostalgia hits me right in the feels already.

I was first introduced to destiny when I was 6(2015). I was at my uncle’s house and I walked into his “man cave” to see him playing some game on his xbox one(which made me heartbroken to hear that he sold it 2 weeks ago) and he asked me if I wanted to watch him play. I said yes because I loved watching him play games on it, plus it was a game I had never seen him play before. I sat down on his couch and watched for about 30 minutes when he asked me if I wanted to play. The game looked cool and fun, so I said yes. He gave me to controller and headset and I also realized he had been playing with one of my older cousins. The part he was letting me play was the final boss fight in a mission on the dreadnought. It was the one on the crashed cabal ship inside the dreadnought and you had destroy a cabal tank inside(which was the final boss). My cousin did most of the work while I just ran around shooting legionaries and psions. My cousin got the boss down really low and my uncle told me to press left bumper and right bumper at the same time. I didn’t know what it did until I saw my character glowing blue(activated stormtrance) and he told me to start electrocuting the tank. I did what he told me to and I got the kill which made me really happy and asked him if he could get me the game. He said he would and for my seventh birthday, he got me destiny the collection, which came with all of the expansions including Taken King and Rise of Iron. Ever since then, I have not stopped playing it.
I removed the game from my harddrive within an hour or two after beating the Witness in the 12-man coup de grace type activity. That scene where you're sitting on the Helm looking out at the Traveler will forever be the final, sweetest memory I have of the game, and there's no way it won't be all downhill from there if I stuck around. Maybe - maybe - I'll come back for the inevitable server-shutdown community event, but Final Shape was the best possible high note to just pull the ripcord and abandon ship on. Might as well take it.
Dude you saying "inevitable server shutdown community event" is crazy 💀💀💀 destiny isn't going anywhere

@@ScarletSpeedster3691 you know what is confirmed? all the layoffs. you cant output the same level or scale of content at the same quality with significantly fewer people. Youre coping if you believe theyll still pull through after this.
The last 10 years have been some of the best gaming experiences I’ve had just through Destiny, I’ve met so many lifelong friends through this game and soon I’m gonna be flying out to go to one of their weddings. We started this game when we were kids and got to grow up with it and with each other through lows and highs in all of our lives. The worst part of all of it however is that we didn’t get to watch a franchise we love come to an amazing conclusion like we wanted it to, we had to watch it tell an amazing campaign story with all this content at the ready only to watch it die suddenly due to corporate greed and nothing else
That dramatic ass intro narration being immediately followed up by, "Doctor Seuss once said", gave a laugh
This is how I bonded with my 2 sons..This game raised them with me and I love how close we are to this day even tho Im the last guardian and they have moved on..I love u Matt and Jack Thank U destiny

I was 11 when I first started playing destiny. Nothing has ever made me feel like walking down the stairs on earth and seeing the three hive with the skull levels. I remember when House of Wolves was released and I beat my first prison of elders with a chest key and got to open the locked chest. I was enthralled as a kid with destiny 1. Crazy times I have a distinct remembrance of the smell of a ps4 controller cuz when I would get exited I would hold the controller right under my nose. Remember my controller dying mid crotas end and rushing to switch to my other one. First time I ever skipped school was to play destiny 1. Remember self rezzing on trials and using the ice breaker every game. Remember getting the thorn quest for the first time and how long it took me to complete it. My first Vault of Glass and how horrifying the gorgons were to me. Core memories. The way the colors and art came together made every moment so intense. Countless glitches like using your sparrow to explore the dlc area on earth, glitching into the iron banner area, Getting on top of mars in the final campaign mission. The vibe exploring things like that was amazing. Remember when they switched from the 34 level based light system to the 320 one when taken king came out and I wasnt a fan at first. The dreadnaught is also a core memory for me and the taken enemies were so cool. I wasnt really a refined player as a kid, couldn't be expected to be, I would just put a lot of energy in without awareness of what I was doing with my hands. Just jumping like my life depended on it. I remember discovering the lore on the grimoire website and being so interested in reading everything I could. Made so many friends playing that taught me so much about the game.
Literally me
i swear i did the same shit with my ps4 controller when i was like 12-13 around the same time, you made me remember that smell
@@FlashJ7 The emotions and flood of memories I get from anything that makes me remember it is indescribable.
This video could not have come at a better time. I just uninstalled Destiny 2 the other day. It genuinely brought me to tears, to think of my Guardian, after defeating The Witness, simply vanishing.
Did they leave the system? Kill themself? Simply decide to live a simple life somewhere out in the wilderness? Who knows? The only thing left of them is memories, a chalk-full Vault, and a plethora of goodbye letters.
I’ll miss you Destiny, but I can’t stay and watch you bleed out.
@@Lionel-Goodfellow No, they’re actually selling the cars and giving the money back to the Bungie employees lol
"It's been a hell of a ride, but I'm thinkin it's time to go." A quote from some random ass song I shouldn't be quoting, it'll always be true tho. It has been a hell of a ride.
i'm pretty sure it's grow not go but 100%
0:15 I’ve never forgotten what bungie has sunset and what I, to this day, still cannot go back and play. Something I OWN but a greedy dev thinks they have the right to disable never allowed to access again. Wrong. You cannot legally steal a product I have paid for!!!!
Amen I feel that to they took what mang of us paid for prepaid for extra shit even to be ripped away thieving badtards
I completely understand, however if we're talking legally, just because you pay for a license does not mean you have exclusive rights. It is unfair though. it's not the devs It is publishers and shareholders. But please understand that you do not own any video game no matter how much you pay for it. Even physical games are licensed media that you can use and not own.
@@ebwmusicproduction you are delusional.
@@ebwmusicproduction Gen z gamer proof enough. I OWN EVERY GAME I PAID FOR FROM 360 and before All the way back to Nintendo 64. I paid a price and can TO THIS DAY play those products as if it was day one and just released OVER 15 years LATER YOU ARE A DELUDED FOOL IF YOU THINK PAYING FOR A PRODUCT DOES NOT WARRANT OWNERSHIP COMPLETELY F*CKING DELUSIONAL🦼🤡

Every game you have bought online you don’t own it’s a service like your steam game library or any digital game sales is just a license to play it
you will own nothing and be happy so pirate everything
I remember playing Destiny 1 when I was a kid. I didn't have any expansions so I'd just replay the campaign over and over.
Then I heard about D2 and I bought it excitedly, pre-ordering it for Coldheart.
The Red War was incredible and sparked my interest, then I got bored for a bit. Warmind was better than Osiris but inly slightly, and while both still gave me enjoyable moments they were much less interesting.
Then came Forsaken, and ironically, my issues began to start. Destiny had just killed off Cayde, my favourite character, for almost no reason but to get players to return.
For the first time, the game I used to play nightly, returning to destinations just to enjoy the godly gun mechanics, had burnt a card to pull us back. I saw the truck with my own eyes, and I enjoyed the campaign as a little of my trust in Bungie burned away.
Then came the sunsetting. Everything went away and a wildfire began where that card had burned. I had no faith that Bungie would make it better, and Shadowkeep didn't help that. Beyond Light just froze it over temporarily.. but with Witch Queen I thought I saw just a speck of hope.
Still solo, as I was since the beginning, I trudged on. I had none of the masterworks other fireteams had, I was missing countless exotics and had never (and still never have) completed a raid before. Only completing the Bungie dungeon.
I skipped the rest until recently and coming back, the game is too complex for it's own good. The new mechanics are nice, but there are way too many menus and systems, and the seasonal model has crippled player enjoyment. Lightfall sucked ass. I still haven't finished it as the final fight is complete bullshit.
The start of The Final Shape, abd probably the final time I'll play D2. I stared at a roadblock. I wasn't going to buy the dlc because it was overpriced and the game was dead, but even then I didn't have strand, so I couldn't play it.
I enjoyed prismatic. In another time, in another place, it would've reignited my passion. If we got prismatic in the red war and Bungie didn't ruin the game I would be singing their praises.. but we didn't get that.
It felt like a cold game. I felt like I was playing with a pet for the last time as I put it down for good. But I felt no sadness, just rage at Bungie, at their bullshit CEO.
Destiny was incredible, it was an experience. But it *_WAS_* and it isn't now...
God I wish we could go back and fix it all..
- A dejected former Destiny player, solo since the beginning, who feels betrayed, backstabbed and melancholy in response to the game finally dying it's final death, as I long ago proclaimed it would inevitably do, to the blind and deaf ears of others who hoped against hope it was not rotten to the core.
I semi recently lost my main friend group over some dumb drama with my group, we all played destiny together starting with destiny 1. I left destiny 2 when that happened and honestly I feel like I only have good memories to look back on. It's sad to see the state of destiny but I won't forget the years of fun I had with my friends and all the randoms I met along the way.
I'm in the same situation. Literally lived with the family I raided with for almost a year and every week we'd have a raid night. Some of the best days of my life and no one from that family talks to me anymore. I'll forever miss them but forever be grateful to them for the memories and taking me in during one of the hardest periods of my life
It's actually impressive you made it that long, the Destiny community is easily the most toxic gaming community to ever exist.
Watching this video is how I’m starting my day. Like this is the first thing I’m doing after waking up today. Thank you BattySho
Destiny 1 got me through the toughest time of my life…. Caring for my father on hospice. He enjoyed watching me play!! Destiny was my escape from my reality that was in front of me. My father passed and I have been playing ever since! I feel like I could finally say good bye because it’s not what it used to be❤ will always keep my memories of Destiny dear to my heart, the friends I have made and lost into the abyss. The good times and bad!! I will always be a guardian!
After hearing the news, I couldn't help but shed a tear, I played since destiny 1 beta and quit in destiny 2 witch queen, but I always loved and adored the universe and the lore, so much so that I bought the entire grimoire anthology, I've made amazing friends and fond memories through destiny, hate to see it end
The 1st day of the VOG was one of my favorite gaming memories. No one knew wtf to do, it was magical.
I've never had a game quite like this. Honestly speaking D2 has been the only game I've ever played in my life, getting a PS4 in 2018 and trying this game out, then switching to my TERRIBLE laptop and playing D2 on it. I'll never forget the agonising experience of doing trials on 20 fps, raids during online classes (covid yippee!!), the gambit shenanigans. I've met some people I LOVE because of this game. Had some of the best times, but some of the worst too. I'll always love it for what it's done for me, but it's time to let go now.
"I'm coming home, Ace."
I was 11 when I played the release of D1, I remember how op the thorn was, getting the Ghorn from xur, running vog over 500 times hoping for that 1 drop of the vex, playing w randoms till sunrise, glitching chests on Venus for treasure keys for the house of wolves release, quick scoping w the greatest sniper of all time (defiance of yasmin), running trials of Osiris for the beautiful armor sets, and of course opening blue engrams and somehow getting an exotic. D1 was and will always be my favorite game. This game was truly a masterpiece and a large part of my childhood.
Beta tester/player here!
I wish i could show everyone my memories of everything destiny that occurred.
I predicted so much youd of thought i was writing it.
Its a shame...but im still so happy to have lived it.
The image of sitting at the tower, just staring at the traveler, the city, other guardians...
Burned into my brain.
For what its worth, i enjoyed being a guardian with all of you.
Eyes up guardian 😢
It was winter, Rise Of Iron just released, we got a cool PS4 theme with the Iron Wolves and me and my friends were getting ready in The Tower, I'll never forget those days.
The most stress-free and burden-free moment was the day I quit Destiny. I sleep better, I enjoy life better, I can play other games without feeling the shame of missing out. Enjoy your rest Guardian. Game On.
I've played since the beginning of D1 when I was in middle school. Probably gave Bungo a little too much money, but I had a blast with everything I did since then. Doing all the raids, playing all the missions, and keeping up with all the seasonal content, this game will remain unforgettable for me. I was suppose to be studying for my finals in college when I completed Salvations Edge really late into the night. And after doing the last mission with the witness being defeated, I haven't touched the game since. I felt so content with where the story ended and I wanted to leave on a high note.
it is unfortunate that destiny ended not in high and glory but in shambles
they will continue to farm destiny 2 until player count goes to zero . they should have ended destiny 2 with final shape.
Destiny 3 will come out
Shambles? Ok😂
Respectfully grow up and stop moping, it’s not in shambles other than for personal opinion
Acting like Final shape is not one of the best expansions is silly. great way to go out if it’s all downhill from here
And For One Last Time,
Eyes Up Guardian.
Is hard to see this game end I was just a kid in 2014 playing sepikis prime mission like 10x a day because was the demo and now 10y later I’m still playing …
Met couple of my frieds that i still play with to this day while I was carrying them through Scourge of the Past when its came out . One of them once told me "first time I met you , you sounded like complete asshole 'go do this , go to that , listen close , if you fail I leave' but then he sad "I so glad i met you dude"
Destiny 2 for all the fun and hours that was put into it, it was one hell of a ride of good and bad ideas
nothing will ever replace what Destiny 2 was to me, and it is a special type of sadness in a way ig knowing that the content you feel in love with is gone i adored, the red war, curse of osiris, warmind and forsaken and i will never get over the vaulting of them tbh
Taken War vet. Followed Destiny 1 and 2 through it’s highs and MANY lows. Finished the war a month or so ago. Probably right after the second round of layoffs. Seeing how badly managed Bungie and Destiny have been for so many years told me that that final battle against the Witness was as good an ending as Destiny was likely to ever get and everything after would just be a sharp decline in quality and content just to keep players login in. So, I uninstalled, and don’t wanna look back, no matter what.
It’s tough, trying to quit a decade-long source of entertainment. An addiction to kick like smoking or eating too much shit that only makes you fat. But I hope I can kick it and many other players and content creators that have made their lives around the game can do so. That’s not to say that the memories of the good times - the raids and dungeons conquered (and yeah I mostly used LFG for those because where there's a will and WANT for good loot, there's a way); those rare, good Crucible matches and even rarer trips to the Lighthouse - will always be precious to me.
I know this game brought many people together in more ways that one. That it changed lives, for better or worse. Everyone should cherish the good, no matter what, and hope that was what good enriched their lives. Take that from the experience, if nothing else. And move on. Forward momentum, as Amanda (RIP) said.
the part of destiny i loved the most was the dreadnaught with all of it's mysteries, puzzles, world events and unique activities available on patrol. they never topped that with any subsequent location. Kings fall raid that came with it was also great.
10 years ago I was raised from the grave, I was a guardian then and I will protect Sol until I die
Dr. Seuss would've been in shambles finding out what they did to Forsaken.
Great video man, I'll always love this game despite it's shortcomings. Shout out to all the Canadian friends I met along this journey, the summers we spent struggling through Garden of Salvation, Scourge of the Past, and every raid on the Leviathan will not be forgotten.
Some good friends got me into D1, the three of us had a great time. we all stopped playing before rise of iron came out, but i kept going longer than they did.
I picked up D2 just in time for Season of the Chosen, and by chance met a pair of brothers who then recruited a few others and we just like that we were a clan and raid team. Saturday night was raid night for about two years. We managed Vault, Kings Fall, Last Fish, and Rhulk on our win list. Not bad for a bunch of filthy casuals usually loaded up with memes over meta.
We fell off, losing interest in the game over time... Lightfall was the end of it, really. There were other things to play. We still keep in contact.
I kept going, but Season of the Witch is where I finally lost my steam.
Destiny is a fantastic core experience, it feels great to play, but my gods does it disrespect your time.
I just don't want to engage with it's grindy faff, it's like fun became an anathema to some systems in there.
Final Shape looks kinda good though. Maybe i'll try it one day if it goes on sale, and if I can possibly get the band back together for one last hurrah.
Titan main for life.
dude i just found out about you. you are awesome man keep up the good work high quality work.
I still remember being in middle school, getting this game for christmas (as well as my dad), not being able to play it all day b/c of the lizard squad stuff.. Ended up being one of our favorite games and we would play almost every Sat. and Sun. until d2 came out
Great video! Destiny is so special to me. I remember first playing the game during the beta, then on full release trying Hunter for the first time in 2014. It's a game I will never forget, especially the mystery and soundtrack💙 P.S. You also earned a new sub!
I'm a new player, around 3 months, in a newish clan with small semi strict acceptance policy (have fun, no trouble makers or drama, help one another). We're having a great time. I don't have the past to judge on how current play should be compared too. Some of them are day one players too and are having a good time especially helping us. I'm just gonna keep grinding and having fun.
One of the best videos talking about the game and the end of it
From early access to red war. Destiny 1 was my childhood. Being a 2001 kid.
This is one of the best and most accurate videos I’ve seen on UA-cam in so long
Shows how everyone has different views. For me his points about d1 don’t make much sense. The mission shows what dlc they are from and if you just keep doing the missions the quest tells you, you wouldn’t be confused (story is still confusing just like it always was)
This was an incredible video given the size of your channel. Glad it came across my feed! I played destiny 1 from launch through all expansions and destiny 2 from launch up until the witch queen and unfortunately never felt the joy to come back to the game. I think through all the good and bad decisions and changes that the game has experienced it is indeed time that this franchise is put to rest so that new players can come to the table and so that the talented developers can move onto new and fresh ideas starting with a clean slate.
Aw dude this video was freaking awesome you weren’t kidding
I will always have a place in my heart for Destiny. This game was hella fun and I met some really great people and great players. All good things must come to an end! Thank you Bungie! Thank you Destiny!
Your D2 vanilla experience is really interesting to me, mainly because for me it was completely awful. Like, almost killed my interest in the franchise bad, a sentiment I know I wasn't alone in feeling.
The Red War was decent but even that was a shadow of the Taken War campaign that proceeded it. And after the campaign was done... nothing. One raid clear per week (a middling raid at that), Your three strikes and your three crucible matches (multiply for different characters ig). Static rolls on the weapons and the double primary system made the game feel terrible to play and horribly unrewarding.
Forsaken saved my waning interest in the game as it reintroduced some semblance of complexity. Delivered the best story beat they had ever done too. But Shadowkeep lost me once again. Stasis and Light 3.0 quite literally were the saving grace for Destiny for me. Builds became a real thing, not just pick two exotics and a subclass tree. In the year of Shadowkeep I completely stopped playing in favor of the Division and Warframe, games that didn't seem ashamed of their status as a buildcrafting looter.
Anyway just wanted to give my two cents, good video brother.
I was around 15 when the destiny 1 beta came out I played as a titan and 10 years later what do you know im still a titan as much as i loved the game i just dont see a point into playing the game anymore. I still cherish all the happy memoires and the amazing loot i gathered in the years its been a blast guardian
Man this was the best 6 years in gaming i have ever had, so many friends and so many memories. I first started the game with my dad i think i was about 9, this game was amazingly beautiful, i spent every second after school playing this game, when they unveiled destiny 2 i played it for quite a while but i didnt play it cause i liked it, i think after all that time i had spent in d1 just for it to be taken away in d2 i think i just stuck with it because i was so invested in the characters like cayde-6 "best character" but after they killed of my man i stopped playing been playing Warframe ever since best $0 ive ever spent 😂
You believe destiny died cuz it had a dip of players towards the end of a season, they laid off a few ppl and this guy makes a video? How dumb are ppl......
Goodbye BattyShogun, see you at Frontiers.
I really enjoyed this video, and I could really relate because my experience was so very similar.
Some of my most cherished memories are while playing Destiny.
Hours on end trying to complete raids, and feeling I was the worst in the raid group 😂. Also, the race to see who could hit max light first.
Idk, Destiny is one if those games that really hit home.
Thank you.
Great video bro, really enjoyed it! I'm sorry that you missed out on most of the raids, I joined a clan and had access to fellow players for basically every raid, even sherpas who would teach it. I cmpleted every raid (except the Lightfall one, because I did not buy that pos LOL) and bro, they are the best content in the game!
seeing big youtubers and casual destiny players alike making videos like these on mass makes me really sad
its hard watching something you love become a memory
I feel the most nostalgic about court of oryx and getting touch of malice for the first time that was a serious grind for an exotic or even sleeper quest in D1 was legendary too. It’s sad pete parsons decided to sunset the game.
Nothing lasts forever, you found hope in the game. Don't ever question why you've done something that you enjoyed. You enjoyed it because it meant something to you, and the fact that bungie allowed you and all of us the proper ending... its a beautiful thing for all of us who found meaning or enjoyment; it makes letting go easier. Just like when you love someone enough, it will hurt to let them go. Not everyone can let go of someone or something they love with a proper ending and im grateful Bungie delivered us that fulfilment.
I uninstalled Destiny 2 today with no plans of returning. I had as much fun as I could imagine from Day 1 raid completions to just making good memories in a beautiful sandbox. It will be the same feeling as the Halo games being left behind for me, they mean alot, but its over. It's time to move on and try and discover new things to give meaning. Just like everything in life.
"Nothing lasts forever" ... Warframe: "Hold my beer."
Destiny was a journey. Many ups and many downs, many highs and lows. Started playing in my mid 30s and now I’m an old man. Sometimes the extended gameplay hours make these aging hands ache. I’m kinda glad it’s coming to a close. I need to concentrate more on these last years of my music and save my arthritis hands for that.
It’s time we all move on.
Destiny has been amazing i started when it was released on Xbox during the first game played the hell out it (still have my slayer of oryx badge to prove it) so i was hyped for destiny 2 and i stll play to this day
Destiny for real saved my life too i was in a job i hated my home life was complete crap and my online life felt like it was falling apart because i Lost several friends to suicide and destiny was that excape i needed and playing Solo during some of the more difficult parts of the games gave me a good distraction from life. Whje they released all the mental health kits those really helped me cope and eventually move to a place im my life that's way better
I cut back on my time online, slowly worked to improve my homelife and left that terrible job but that also ment i didn't have enough time to play so i took a huge break Left during the ice stuff and came back for light fall
I can say confidential if it wasn't for destiny id have died a long time ago and i wouldn't be where i am today without it.
But remember guardians we are never alone
I played with random people who became a regular fire/raid team.
I'd speak to these guys nightly .
Eventually 1 by 1 they stopped so when D2 came out and the recap showed dates and names it hit me twice as hard . I was solo .
The most realist and most closet to my feelings on this.
I remember coming home from school and playing D1 for as long as I could every day. Then D2 came along. By that time I was in college. I deleted D2 about 2 years ago. About a week ago I redownloaded it. And honestly? I’m glad I did. This game can make you happy, mad, sad etc. but at the end of the day, it will always be there. ❤️
I hope destiny recovers
Its crazy to think about the fact that i started playing Destiny 1 when i was, now i am 18 and still play the game every now and then.
This game has held my hand through most of my life and gave me my most cherished moments and friends i couldve ever wished for.
Every time i hear about the end of Destiny, i actually start to cry just because this game means the world to me.
I cant even describe how badly i want to be 10 again, playing through the Story and Raids with some random old ass dudes i met on a playstation community server, grinding through every quest.
Destiny 1 is and will forever be the perfect game for me, i blow off the dust from my Playstation every once in a while to just to play through the Campaign again, trying to relive my so very cherished memories.
Sadly things will never be the same, and we need to let go of everything at some point in life, but trying to let go of Destiny always seems too hard of a task for me.
The value of the memories and my emotions towards this game cant ever be put into words.
I just have this very slight spark hope that Bungie will turn a 180 just like they did with Taken King and Forsaken, surprising the enitre community and pulling back their player base reaching peak players, but seeing whats happening with this game, currently leaves absolutely no room for hope...
I quit in season of the haunted, fomo killed this game and half the community is in denial about it.
Corporate killed the game lol… I stopped playing and I’ll even admit that. You can’t say “fomo killed the game” when it had 70k players until they announced there’s nothing more coming to the game
I miss the good ol' days of Destiny. Hopping on with my dad as we complete campaign mission after campaign mission. Not only was it uniquely different with the abilities. It was uniquely amazing. During that time there wasn't a better game that i could've been playing. I'll never forget those amazing memories of one of my favorite games😢
The only destiny I played was Forsaken. Looks like I didn’t miss much else
well unfortunately you actually missed ALOT but if you dont think so thats fine

Oh brother ur words just hit me like a Truck. All the beautiful memories I've made in this Game are just priceless. With over 10k hrs in total in this Game I can tell you that it was a hell of a ride as Cayde said. All the Raids, Strikes, Dungeons, Public Events, GMs etc. I've done, all the farming for the God Rolls I've never got to drop, all the fun I had just beeing online. The pure Joy after I came home from work to my friends waiting for me to get into the Raid we planed to clear... & my personal Journey in the Crucible wich I mained until now. I wen't from a 0.56 K/D hating every minute of the Crucible to a 1.87 K/D Overall with over 200k Kills just in PvP & I remember every minute of my PvP Journey... & forward to today as I am writing this comment I think I can 100% say it is time for me. My Time has come & I think it's a good time. Sometime u just have to except, that someday u need to burry good memories & let them be good memories... The Game will never be the same & wether we wanted it or not, we stepped into a war with ourselfs constantly asking WHY? WHY dont I love this Game as I used to? WHY aren't those memories comming back? WHY do I hate this game more, than I love it nowdays? Well my fellow Guardians, because the time has come that an Era is ending & My Era is ending with it. I support this Game until the last Episode: Heresy & after that I will lay it down to rest. Thank u Guardians for all the good times I've had, thank u Bungie for giving me an Escape from Reality & a Game I played 10 years sraight until today, but my Heart is hardened & sadened to admit that this last Episode will be my last Ride with u ''Oh my Destiny mine'' I hope someone just read this comment & felt the Joy in his/her heart & the Pain wich came a millisecond later knowing that this maybe someday will be ur last day to in this Game. Thank you Destiny! And for the ending: Eyes up Guardian!
This will be my last time ever watching a Destiny video or commenting on one now time for my message I loved Destiny I played it for a while since 2016 I had so much fun and spent a lot of money I even bought the annual pass…for every dlc I’ve only done one raid I never got plenty of exotics I wish I could get those but I’m done it doesn’t matter now bungie ruined it corporate greed made me leave if they somehow turn around I’ll play again but this ship hit a iceberg many times it somehow repaired it so many times but it’s taken too many hits now it’s sinking and there’s nothing they can do to fix it goodbye Destiny community it was fun it was bad I loved it I hated it and I am saying goodbye bye
starting destiny 1 was one of best memory of my time
grinding for hours for stupid stuff
but im not complaining
Warframe was the better horse in this race. The devs still play it frequently, streaming and such. They generally seem to enjoy the product they have made. It’s had no reboots, remakes or soft resets. Nothing from the games history has ever been “sunset” or taken away. It adds systems upon systems to ensure total user customisation and to ensure anything from the starter weapons to a grinded late game weapon can be upgraded and modified into being end game viable. The PvP meta is swamped by limbo users because of its ability to teleport players into another dimension and then close the door way lol. Plus it’s completely free and in game currency is quite easy to make.
RIP this game, i spent so much time growing up on this game it captured me from around middle school and have spent years and years just waiting for a peak that never happened.
I haven’t bought or played anything since Lightfall. My girlfriend audibly gasped when I told her I deleted Destiny. It’s just done, and so am I.
damn. i've been with destiny since it launched. had it been this long? I feel old. well, guess there's no better way to give it a proper sendoff. rest in peace, destiny. you created the guardians. you created a community. you created some of the best times of our lives.
im going to miss new content to destiny. i dont think there will be another fps to capture my haert like destiny did. i started last season. season of the wish. however i watch my brother play destiny 2. wasnt play destiny for 3 months i think when final shape came out and my brother bought it for me. im pissed at bungie for ending it right here i guess but all things have to end. there would have been some great content in destiny 3 if bungie changed how they made destiny. like the witness was the knife of a stronger being. thinking about it now. i hadnt had much time with cayde and yet i miss him. the only time i truly got to meet cayde and have fun even tho his voice lines were preset. i guess im not ready to move from destiny, it was a good run, fun will it lasted.
bro u started right near the end fym 😭😭
loved hearing your story, and the editing was great, awesome vid
my honest opinion i love d1 and d2 i hate bungie
I was one of the people who kept coping saying how they bounced back. I am honestly kinda sad to see them fall so far from halo.
I got D1 for Christmas when I was 11 yrs old along with the Xbox one when it was still new. I had played through the campaign and had a blast and immediately went over to crucible, where my first ever exotic gun was the last word after a few days of playing (love the old post-match rng). this gun made me fall in love with the game and I still use it often when I wanna get shit on in todays crucible. I'll never forget running around the cosmodrome doing patrols, the sparrow racing event, finishing crotas end for the first time, running prison of elders till 5 in the morning, playing the shit out of the taken king and just running around the dreadnaught. After ttk I took a break from the game and missed out on rise of iron. Once D2 was announced and had come out around my birthday I was playing from day one with my older brother and those were some of the best memories I've made. shoutout to the farm, that shit was cool and I wish bungie still kept it. I've played through every D2 dlc since and the most fun ive had on the game was when the 30th anniversary for bungie released and my buddies and I were playing the hell out of all of the events and new dungeon. I feel like witchqueen was the last time I was truly invested in the game, and bungie kinda dropped the ball with lightfall. I'm still holding out on the final shape, but I've played through a little and I definitely like it more. Destiny will always have a place in my heart, and shoutout to the last word mains out there. Also shoutout to kobe from football who I used to stay up till 5am with playing ttk and running crucible. Gooooooood times
Bungie turned out to be a horrible company 🤔 amazing
Not really im the normal world espacialy in blue colar jobs
Destiny truly made an impact on me. Hell, I got Oryx tattooed on my shoulder for my first tattoo. I met some of my closest friends through Destiny. Specifically the Dark Below. I remember when Division came out and everyone flooded to that. Except me. I was with Destiny through and through. Til about Foresaken I had someone to play with. But Season of the Worthy in Shadowkeeep, I've been solo. It sucks but I've put too much time into Destiny. Not many games I've enjoyed since the First Destiny. Before that it was Halo 4 and Black Ops 2. Is it sad to see the end... very. I've had unforgettable moments. My first Gjally from Skolas, Soloing Crota, going Flawless for the first time,helping with the Outbreak Prime quests, all the carrying I did for King's Fall for people who never completed it. Completing Leviathan Prestige, getting Whisper of the Worm. It's all been good. But even I acknowledge the game has to end soon. I'm saddened. I was 15 when D1 launched. Proud Beta player. I'm 25 now. And it's been one hell of a decade. I'm happy with all the Guardians I've met. You've all been good. And even though past few years have been rough, Thank you Bungie
Yall dramatic

Yea i played the d1 beta expecting it to be a halo copy of sorts, and i didn't buy the game until the house of wolves dlc because none of my friends bought it when it came out. But when i first played the game and started exploring worlds, getting my first drops, my first legendary, my first exotic (which was the suros regime btw) i couldn't have been more hooked to a game and more excited to play a game for days on end. As i progressed and explored more, there was just a never-ending mystery to the game that i loved. I met some really amazing people as well. But little did i know the best parts of the game hadn't even happened yet. That was when the taken king was announced and then came out. To this day, i still have not played a video game as much as i have played destiny during the taken king and rise of iron dlcs. I have no shame in admitting that the game took over my life at that point, and when i look back at memories during those years of my life, it's all just destiny. I had played it so much that i had started to figure out sercret quests before anyone had uploaded anything about them to youtube or before any of my friends or lfg groups had mentioned them. I always had the max light as quickly as possible, and for every raid, i made sure to do them every single day of every week, making sure i play every role and also helping out new players on lfg as much as i could. Sometimes, i would even take over two roles if i needed to. I had that entire game down to instinct. Yet, it still was just as fun and just as mysterious as the first day i played it. I knew so much about the game, yet i was constantly excited and wondering about what comes next and what other secrets are out there for us to discover. Rise of iron was no different. The best and most memorable part of that dlc to me was the raid, and specifically getting outbreak prime. IMO, by far the best exotic quest for anything in all of destiny 1 and 2. The fact that we went through the raid multiple times and didn't even know it was there, and then learning about it, seeing all of the crazy codes you had to do, the extinsive questline outside of the raid itself, and even learning freaking binary 😂. And no one could ever, ever forget MathClass and their contributions to helping the community complete this quest. King's Fall will always be my favorite raid, especially because it was the first raid i attempted world's first in, and my team was in first going into golgoroth, but we had to wait for gothalion and his team to catch up because we got way too stumped and couldn't figure it out, and i went for worlds first on every raid after all the way through King's Fall's re-release in d2, but Wrath of the Machine will always be the most fun in my memories. Zamboni by itself deserves recognition for being one of the most unique and fun encounters in all of destiny.
Destiny 1 during those days will always have my favorite memories in gaming, and it will always be my favorite game. The people i met, the friends i made, the mystery, the wonder, and the excitement for beating the raids, discovering secrets, finally getting that gjallarhorn drop, or any exotic drop, or getting that perfect roll and showing it off to your friends or people in lfg who had no idea what it was yet. It was truly all just perfect. A part of me regrets not buying the game and playing it when it came out, but i know i got to experience the game at its peak and got to experience and be a part of probably the most important parts of this franchise's history.
Even though i don't play anymore and either can't get into what destiny has become now or just can't find the time to, i am absolutely thankful Bungie made this franchise and i hope it continues to grow. And more than anything, i hope they figure out a way to bring the mystery and wonder back into the game. If they can achieve that, i will force myself to have time to start playing again. Until then, I'll just occasionally watch a Datto video here and there, maybe a SirD video, and reccomended videos like these whenever i want to see how the game's doing now or if i just want to reminisce.
Lastly, and most importantly, rest in peace, Lance Reddick. Your command over the Vanguard will never be forgotten.
Remember my dad getting the day 1 console and especially my grandpa (Rip🙏🏼) taking me to get my taken king pack at midnight or so, the good days of destiny hold that nostalgia that those before us had in their time imo and im very much grateful to the friends who came together for good times
I started playing destiny when forsaken came out and although I didn’t start with destiny one, D2 was one of the most funnest and memorable games that i have ever played. 5 years later I finished the final shape by defeating to witness during the raid and I haven’t played it since. So happy that it was apart of my life but it’s so sad that the game is now just a husk of what it used to be. RIP
I met my wife on Destiny 1 and we still play to this day. We stuck with destiny through its ups and downs, even tho there were more downs than ups. I also met some amazing people. I haven't had a strong community of players like this scene the glory days of WoW.
i remember begging my parents to let me get the destiny on the red box for the weekends where i'd spend all my time playing it loving every minute and remembering freaking out about the new enemies, armor, and customization and types of weapons there were. Without a doubt this was and forever will be my first love for gaming. Farewell Destiny and thanks for the chance to let me BECOME LEGEND.
Made some of my best online friends through D1, we rocked D2 together and even now we're still friends.
The Destiny 1 and Black Ops 3 days are where I met some of my best online friends, some even living in a different country yet we were still able to connect personally. I feel as if that era of gaming is coming to an end, where everyone is in a big party chat of people from their area and people they met online.
My Copy Pasta for D2 content till they give us our money spent expansions back:-
I joined Destiny 2 when New Light came out and it went free, I liked the game and so I brought all the expansions up till New Light. I love farming and collecting and chasing after loots so I rushed through the missions in order to unlock Raids and get Exotics for collection, all the while thinking that I would just replay missions on my other character later on.
Then came Sunsetting, all the loots that I collected gone, EXPANSIONS THAT I PURCHASED gone, every new loot had expire on it (I know it's reverted now, but dmg is done already), all of this just killed my interest in game.
I came back in Beyond Light to try and play with new Stasis and I enjoyed it, but I didn't knew Cayde lore before and when I came back, I wanted to play it without rushing, but I literally could not play the thing THAT I PAID FOR!
Now tell me what reason do I have to give my money to these devs and buy a game with expire date on it, that too after getting scammed and losing the expansions I spent money on?!

I love Destiny and a moment where it was a good time to leave and so my memories, even though they bring me to feel somewhat of a pit in my stomach of sadness it also brings me to a feeling of nostalgia and a moment in life at least something cared about me
to all my toxic destiny, family brothers and sisters thank you for all the fun years. I’ve given up and I moved the Warframe so I’m sorry guys.
been playing destiny 1 and destiny 2 since launch on both. me and the homies from destiny 1 still play to this day. we were running iron banner just yesterday and i said to them “i guess the dream team is back” and it sure is. although destiny 1 was far better than destiny 2 i still enjoy it. it reminds me of my childhood. coming home from school and hoping on destiny till like 2 am every night then doing it all over the next day.
i remember the first mission in the cosmodrome all the thralls in the dark room scaring the shit out of me to the witches in the boss rooms absolutely annihilating me, but we got through it and here we are today. guardians of the solar system and weilders of light and dark. love this game it will forever be my number one game.
Lets just all pray from the bottom of our hearts Destiny 3 will come out. I have been playing this game for so long. This game has SOOOOOO MUCH potential but due to bungies disgusting leader ship it doesnt even meet the lowest of low expectations. At this point i am 1000% sure that even a fan game of Destiny 3 would be A LOT BETTER and would see greater success than the new smallest content update that bungie has the audacity to call expansion.
BEAUTIFULLY DONE!! Been a player since D1 Beta, I'll truly miss this game!!
