I've been playing Destiny since the game came out the day before my birthday, and I had spent so many nights with my friends just playing the games and doing raids, but now it's not the same. I have about 507 hours on Destiny 2, and I'm ashamed of it. I just wish I could get that time back, seriously. I wish I was able to realize I should've stopped long ago.

I'm done with Destiny 2.

Destiny is the only live-service game i’ve played, with near 20 years of MMOs in my history, where the content they released, let alone stuff you’ve paid real money for, has been permanently deleted. They can claim what they want, but what’s done is done

The only reason for getting rid of half the game is money. Bungie does not want a "free" game with lots of contents so players can just stay there without buying the next expention. D2 is an aberation. That s the last time I pre order a game. D2 is D1 2.0 It's exactely the same. It was a pure money move. Bungie should have build on D1 without removing contents and we would have now a gigantic MMO with different stories and univers. Why bringing the vault of glass raid? Because it was better and I am someone who use to push Atheon of the edge, if you know what I mean. There s no progression anymore meaning no new players so the game is dying. You can buy the last expention and get straight to it just to realize after 2 weeks that there no way you can do end game since you never build a community to do it with you. And the fact that players became more and more toxic do not help.

so refreshing to find a person who actually understands the concept of an essay. lowkey amazing work!

Drank this Kool-aid a little too soon and stopped playing the game. I want to get back in but ... I can't. I was there from the very start. Did all the crazy stuff, all the raids. Even the newest raid. But the day after I got off and didn't get back on. It sucks but my friends moved on to newer games. But we never found the new game that could replace Destiny and its larger lobbies for end game content. As a player that always wanted the game to "get better" (though the game isn't bad per say) , I can't feed off of the games "potential" engine anymore.

Pessimistic doomer

They sunset sunsetting stop fear mongering

I’ve been playing both Destiny and Warframe for years. I used to love Destiny…but everything going in with Bungie has killed a lot of my joy and excitement for it. I’m still playing Warframe regularly. DE clearly cares so much about their game and community. Is Warframe and DE perfect? Not at all. But when you see how each handles their game and how they interact with the community, and see the difference in monetization practices, and available content….the difference in pretty clear. I’d love to play Destiny again. I still do sometimes. But I went from loving what Destiny was to loving what it could be.

Video games have to be the only art form that can and does get worse over time.

Just 2,000?! i need help man

I’ll always have fond memories of my time playing Destiny 1-2 but at 25 years old it just feels impossible to commit the amount of hours the game requires of me anymore. I still return from time to time and dabble but I’ll never be as invested as I was in the high school/college days

So many memories made while playing this game. I made many friends since D1 into D2 and theyve all fizzled out of my friend group now. All good things come to an end. I just hope that at the very very end of it that Destiny 2 goes out in a huge bang. A massive and positive imprint. We still have time with this game so for those of us still playing.....lets hate Destiny 2 til the end cus its our favorite game. XD Love the video it was amazing, well written, the delivery was perfect. 🎉

Played it, loved it, then hated it, despised it, left it. miss how it was. RIP destiny 2 murdered by corporate goals.

My absolute favorite activity in gaming was waiting in The Farm beside Mythrax asking them if i could carry them through Zero Hour... Once Bungie decided to sunset half the game I lost my go to place where I spent all my free time helping out other players, which made me fizzle out of D2 really hard... I'm glad I was able to upload my solo run for Zero Hour but sad for everything else I lost...

we need an MF to leak the uncompiled D1 code so we can emulate it

Art Preservation and Client Hosted Servers or another method of ensuring that live services never fade is what can prevent the loss of beauty and memories

I miss the D2 pvp also. The story was great, but I just want to go back and play with friends and not be punished by matchmaking.

And this is why every online game just simply needs an offline mode. Even if many activities become barren in the years to come, at least you can boot it back up and revisit them.

Seeing a red border on a non-craftable sent me back. I almost forgot that used to be a thing. lol

Describing something from Destiny 2 as “a beautiful piece of art” is pretty deranged. I think you need to play more games man

This barely scratches the surface of D2's issues and the reasons for them, truthfully. I fear that not acknowledging the publishing and financial issues Bungie has dealt with over the years--and ESPECIALLY the poor management at Bungie--is a misrepresentation of what problems Bungie's live service model faces. There are other live service games that are genuinely successful even while changing the shape and identity of that game, and there are a lot of great moments to be had when something isn't a static experience like Halo. The comparisons to Halo are really, really overdone and tired at this point, and I don't think they really hold any water anymore. Many of the devs who made Halo aren't at Bungie anymore. They're different games and different franchises. It's distracting from the valid point that you made--players don't impact the story. This is true for static experiences like Halo or other single-player story games, too. One of the big ups for a live service story is that experiences can feel like they're impactful or not depending on engagement--Helldivers 2 is a great example and would be a significantly better comparison. (On the topic of Halo--having Halo 4 gameplay under "...experience the story exactly how Bungie intended" is an odd lack of attention to detail and it's noticed more than you might think). The reason you gave for Bungie's content vaulting is factually incorrect--Bungie didn't do it because the activities were power crept out of the game--I guess you're conflating sunsetting and content vaulting? They did it partly because, like you mentioned, hard drive space was becoming a concern, but primarily because the size of the game made it incredibly difficult for devs to compile new builds, and primarily because of tech debt. By ignoring the fact that Activision planned a Destiny 3 for launch in/around 2020, you miss the detail that Destiny 2's locations were built somewhat poorly because the game was expected to last no more than three years. The tech debt that Bungie accrued over the game's lifespan made it difficult to develop--the same reason a large chunk of D2 is buggy and broken. You make a lot of good points about the nature of digital media, and if you're planning to make more of this content in the future, I really believe it's worth talking about intersectionally--music, film, TV, and so many other forms of art are constrained by business decisions and the brutal state of our various media industries, and NOTHING we care about will last if we don't make an effort to keep it around. Cloud services will fail us and take our data with them--our favourite pieces of content will disappear if consumers continue to allow media publishers to control them--we will have nothing to show for the things we put our time into if we don't make the effort to retain copies of them ourselves. It's really important to not scratch the surface of this issue as if the disappearance of digital media is a fact of life. It doesn't have to be this way, but we collectively need to advocate for the media we care about, and the creators of it who are so often unjustly treated by the same publishers who will pull that media the second it isn't profitable.

Destiny 1, circa 2014. Servers status: online. It will be a very long time before D2 servers are shut down. Otherwise, good video.

This was a very good video, It's the game we hate to love.

Wonderful video! Very well done and well articulated 👍🏻

Unfortunately for all of us, this corporatation has discovered how to craft a simulation of a human experience and monetize it. Oh you want in on this once in a lifetime experience of sitting in a chair and looking at a screen? Money please. Sorry, that's not enough money, better pay up or I'm gonna take it away, you chumps.

a lot of the community should watch this video

I will be saluting my monitor when Destiny servers go down like 10 years from now. Started playing when I was 12. The story is engrained in my psyche.

Excellent video bro, while I will always cherish the ups and downs during my time playing destiny, I felt like I had to put it to rest. The constant cycle of content becoming irrelevant only to be replaced by more content that will itself become irrelevant in time is a vicious cycle. I now get my destiny dosage from a Destiny 1 play session every now and then. Knowing that the game is content complete and likely won’t ever be updated is a comforting feeling. I can put it down and come back after a year and everything is just as I left it. The constant change of D2 is dizzying, perhaps one day I will return when they cease updating the game. Until that day I still have the fond memories to mull over.

But the clone doesn't want the villain 😂 viz post credit scene

so much overdramatic and overreacting over simple stuff is really dumb bro Imma make a video about this and tell u where u r wrong bro its so absoloutely idk just overreacting no much meaning

i got more then 6k hours and are not as much sad as u are bro evolving is part of the way move foward or leave bro simple is that I did that with Call of Duty

Mismanagement and corporate greed will kill this game

Excellent story telling in destiny bull shit what a total clown you are.

Goosebumps. What an excellent summary of all the feelings I had while playing Destiny. <3

The corridors of time were frustrating, because streamers started going to hidden discords with their followers to solve the puzzle, and many peoples' submissions were dismissed because it wasn't tied to a streamer. It killed the event for me, because at that point we were just waiting for streamers to finish the puzzle.

It is honestly so frustrating seeing people pour their hearts out for this game and Bungie taking advantage of it. Please just make smarter decisions Bungie, your not feeding the one game that is keeping you alive. I could understand maybe one or two side project games, but come on, Destiny is your money maker. Sorry I just had to rant a little lol. Great video

To all my fellow guardians, I love you, may me find an experience as the one we found in destiny/2, once again.❤

For your next video essay can we push the time a bit to 20 mins at the very least it’d be much appreciated thanks 🙏

From a story standpoint I don’t think anything can compare to the seasonal story that was between Beyond Light and Witch Queen

Amazing video brother 🙌 highlights and brings awareness to how lucky we are to experience this at all 🔥🦊

We hate this game ❤❤

I think D2 will still be around for a long time but im going to have a panick attack and existencial crisis when D1 is shut down

I hate destiny 2, it's my favorite game

When Destiny's servers be shutdown i will open a bottle of champagne.

Destiny is vantablack brimstone coal

My friend group and I played Destiny 2 since the Red war and we stuck with it all the way until the final shape. Now only one of my friends still plays it regularly and the rest of us have moved on. It was a wild ride. Great video Man! Keep it up ❤

You're a gem, great writing and clean video. I'll be subscribing and following !

Absolute Cinema 🙌

"Then there is the incredibly complex system to customize your character"...yeah, no.
