Take a shot every time this shill says something is the highest point in destiny history or that something is "unique" about "talk to projector/talk to person in room/talk to projector again" exotic "quests". You will die of alcohol poisoning.
Destiny 1's artstyle is still peak of the series, imo. Especially vanilla. Guns, armor, environments, enemies... all of it, the best art Destiny has ever put out.
yeah, wish they kept the original art design going forward, it was honestly perfect- lighting, enemies, music, everything was refined to a peak. destiny 2's design really shit the bed at first; all the classes looked like offbrand jrpg versions of themselves but it got better over time. love the vibe and design of d2 from beyond light onward, though i don't think it's as good as d1's. those skyboxes- mmpgh
There will never be a Game like Destiny again, just hearing the signature Music from D1, seeing all the Old Stuff, hearing you talking about Things we ALL just experienced and loved......oh Boy this Game is One of its Kind. Thank you for bringing back old Feelings, pure Love and the best Experience i ever had in a Game. Not to mention, the People i met and got Friends with since then.
I was so excited to buy and play D2 and I was so disappointed, wondering WTF, where is the amazing game, and once playing D2, I wasn't going back but they where brining back the past content as if this is why we moved to D2. I want my guns back, so I play D2 and give them money and my content isn't any better. The amazing content in D1.. I do feel it with my controller point of view, D2 is better. Queen Witch was best, and then ? I do like the neon look in Neptune, but it never went the far. Weapons ? more of the amazing game of D2 is in Raids which I don't participate other than going in and looking for loot. They have tried to instead of going to a new level, stayed and tried to control us. Keep them playing vanguard until they get so sick and tired they play crucible and give them some Christmas special or holloween, and pay again. Sadly someone else isn't producing the same content or we would have moved to a new game.
Gameplay yea but lore nah if this was entirely lore we’d be here for months Life if we looked at literally every lore story in a timeline 5 hours is a joke and would probably only be like 1% of all lore So I’d say it’s 10 years super summed up in 5 hours
Destiny. What is there to say. I have loved this game for 10 years since I was 14, I played through highschool, now I still play in my adult life. From Dinklebot, to some wizards coming from the moon, getting that first exotic. To losing everything in the red War, losing a friend with Cayde, forgiving and accepting new ones. These games will always have a special place in my heart next to Halo, bungie raised me, I hope for a bright future. And so, Eyes up guardian, Destiny Awaits.
I started playing Destiny from day 1. After my move from Xbox 360 to PS4, Destiny was the first game I picked up. Through the ups, downs and everything in-between, I'm glad to have experienced Destiny and Destiny 2. I could never love/hate a game as much as I do. Thank you Bungie for creating the disaster masterpiece. Thank you to Shadow Destiny for the content. Thank you (also sorry) to all the Guardians that I have played with over the years. ❤
I was 14 in 2016 when I first started with Destiny: The Taken King and became hooked on the franchise! Been playing Destiny 1 & 2 up until 2023 because I had to focus on nursing school, and it’s crazy seeing how much has changed! These games will always have a special place in my heart. Hoping to jump back in soon and see all the new content and lore I missed out on! Phenomenal work put into this video, buddy!
Destiny's best days. They didnt artificially inflate the content either (as in timegate ect). Just play the DLC at ur lesure (except the raid date for obvious reasons). They cared about the core of the game a lot more then. It still is the largest destiny release in terms of loot, not many ppl knowthat. It has more exotics than D2 or D1 released with which is just crazy. (Unlike D2 they were all actually new exoitcs too).
Final Shape was my last hoorah in Destiny I think I might be done for good I was so happy to be apart of this community for 10 years. Thank you for the memories I love you all.
Destiny 1 holds such a special place in my heart. There was this feeling of awe and mystery that for me is still unmatched to this day. Unfortunately D2 failed to hook me in the same way, so I can't say I experienced it fully.
I've been living in Warframe for the past two months and tbh, the grind in that game for loot and gear sends me back to D1 days. It's excruciating but so rewarding when you're done. I was missing that feeling through D2 for a long time, ngl.
Destiny's never going to get back that feeling because they went completely away from the fantasy side of the inspiration and we've been playing the game for a decade. Once people have played a game for so long, the magic of the beginning is lost forever, so stop trying to get back what you never can. And, for the umpteenth time, we get the gear to play the game, we don't play the game to get the gear. I have infinitely more fun using the things I wanna play with than mindlessly grinding for an RNG drop to not bend me over.
@ThatFalloutGod Yeah but a lot more people would play a Destiny 3. There's no way in hell to convince most people to even come back on a fresh account much less start playing now for the first time.
Thanks for this video. This game has done me a huge amount of gaming in me I’ve ever had done before. Meet some people from that game and made soo much memories too. 10 years is crazy to think that it went by fast. Thanks again. 🙏🏼
It's disarming to see in full context just how many times over the years Destiny SHOULD have been over, with things that should have made us all legitimately uninstall, let it die like it clearly wanted to, and never look back.
I started playing late on Lightfall. Destiny throughout the years always stuck in the back on my head, friends and coworkers always told me to play. Since every FPS game in the industry is shit, the only game That was left to try was Destiny. As a new player is rough but once you pass that first phase, the grind and getting them exotics trust you gonna be hooked. Destiny is like that high school sweetheart that when things go rough out there and nobody likes you, you could always come back to her and play.
Greatest mistake imo was allowing exotics and legendary become such a frequent drop in game. We lost that incredible sense of achievement that we had in Destiny 1 Alpha and Beta. Exotic loot is just far too common in game now. The whole game just caters to casuals now. There used to be serious challenge in completing a nightfall, but power creep now has this being so easy to do alone or especially in a group. But by far the largest downfall this game saw was the heavy introduction of micro transactions with Eververse. In Destiny 1 Eververse was only a few items, while everything else could be farmed in game, during special events etc. Now Eververse is where all the efforts are made, the store is massive now, and no longer can we really earn anything free for ourselves playing the game, even events stop rewarding items and instead sold them. This game lost its vision of its player base, and centers around pure greed these days. Shame Bungie never learned that while we got things free, this meant we were more inclined to want to spend on an Eververse item. Forcing us now pushed so many including myself away 😞
Thanks for all the effort on this. So many good memories, and things I'd almost forgotten. 10 years is a long time to be actively playing a game, and this is a great reminder of how far we've come, grown and enjoyed (and hated!) the game. Really appreciate the effort capturing as much as you did!
@@chrisvda88 if bungie ceases to exist so does destiny mate. There is no appetite for d2 or d3 without bungie i assure you. There’s too much of a die-hard audience. And don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying the game couldn’t be better without bungie nowadays, but the game would not hold playerbase were it off the back of the dissolution of bungo. I am about 95% sure now that it’s not only the end of destiny, but it’s also the end of bungie, and it’s really sombre mate
@@Liamo051 i think that sony have to take the lead. Bungie isn't the same bungie of 10 years ago. They need to go back to their "original story", they have a ton of things that aren't yet explored and those things can add story for at least other 10 years. Sony should keep a few people, then replace the others with people who really care about this saga, workers that know what they do. And most important, Fire pete
This just makes me….so fucking sad man, I wanna go back, I want to play destiny again. I can’t even help but kinda cry cuz what we’ve lost is so gut wrenching Also neat thing about sepiks prime’s soundtrack was recorded by a guitarist named misha mansoor, from the pretty big metal band periphery in which a couple members loved destiny
You must have tier 10 resilience irl to make a video like this considering the state of Destiny atm. Must’ve taken tons of time and effort, much respect.
You deserve the respect of the whole community for that project. I am blown away by the size, dedication and detail of this video. Much respect. Really good Work.❤
Bro, how the hell do you manage to run 3 channels, pump out quality content small and big AND play the game... 🤯 we don't even talk about this strange thing called RL. I will watch this one, like a mini series "Season 1, E1-5 Shadow's Destiny". One of the best content creators 🤌 Keep it up!
"let's build a world where we can tell any great story we want. a place where millions of people will want to visit again and again, for the next 10 years and more" i think ya did it bud :')
"I don't have time to explain why I don't have time to explain". D1's story was a car crash at times but it was so much fun to play. I remember my first VoG run. The raids were great. The players kept breaking the game and that just added to the enjoyment. D2 stories have varied in quality but the lack of added content in crucible, the reuse of D1 weapons and maps and the lack of any mention of D3 have all been depressing, to say the least. They had a great franchise in their hands and have managed to screw it up. Thanks for a great video.
I finally managed to see this great video. Respect for the enormous effort you had to put into it. Despite its flaws, Destiny 2 will always have a place in my heart. I started playing at 15, when Destiny 2 had been out for almost 4 months. Everything was still new to me then and magical. Forsaken was definitely the peak of Destiny 2 for me, and that's when I played the most, but everything comes to an end; that's part of life.
They took Joseph Staten’s Story and flushed it down the toilet at the last minute.. Mind you Joseph Staten wrote every single Halo Game, so they thought his story for D1 was bad, 🤣😂
God I miss the destiny 1 launch. Always coming home from 8th grade, launching the game and going to the loot cave. I remember seeing the ice breaker for the first time and being so in awe. I asked the guy “how did you get that gun?” He said “the vault of glass raid.” Suddenly I became obsessed.
It took me 4 days to actually watch this entire video, and all I have to say is destiny will always be a part of my life, I’m so glad my dad bought me this game back in 2014 (Ps. Thank you shadow destiny for always making absolute banging content I hope we get more in the future and if not thank you for the memories made in this video)
I’m enjoying final shape but Destiny’s vibe and atmosphere peaked with Destiny 1. The final shape feels so different as a universe when compared to what was set up in D1. Less grand in scale, a lot less interesting of a universe and more of a shallow soap opera with mediocre characters. The music isn’t as inspired as it was in D1, the worlds and locations aren’t as interesting… Maybe I’m just getting old or maybe destiny truly did change but I miss the way Destiny used to be.. before Destiny 2 sort of “soft rebooted” the tone and look and then Beyond Light changed things further
This is awesome!! I started in House of Wolves, so a lot of issues were ironed out by the time I started. But seeing everything about this game from early development to now is truly amazing.
2:16 so crazy to hear this and think back of those 10 years… coming back again and again. Many ups and downs but I’ve had my best gaming memories and met some of my best friends in that world. Hopefully Bungie can keep it going another 10. 🤞
I randomly saw the beta at 13 years old in the playstation store, downloaded it and fell absolutely in love. I preordered and watched that clock tick down. A week into release I met a fella who introduced me to his new clan he was trying to start. The rest is history.
I just watched this… I have played Destiny since Jan 2015. I have left those worlds multiple times, created new guardians when I came back… To put it simply, I love the world Bungie created, always enjoyed playing even during those grinding times, it got me through my stroke recovery, that magically occurred right before it launched. Saddens me to see a game that I loved slowly go away when it had the most potential to be a never ending series.
The thing about the content drought in the taken king, I was 15. I was at school for most of my days, I really only played on the weekend, and Destiny wasn't the only game I played. I played a LOT of Destiny though, and I never felt the "content drought". No game can strive to be the ONLY game you play, and if you play a game for 8 weeks straight, that's honestly impressive
Amazing work shadow, you left no stone unturned. Thank you for taking us for a ride through all the nostalgia. This video is a way better introduction for new and returning players than the game itself
I have been playing Destiny since the Beta. Even with all its flaws, i loved this game. I was so hyped getting into D2 and got more and more alienated by it over the next two years. I would love a "complete" Destiny experience that contains everything from the last 10 years. Playing everything from start to finish in its polished state is somithing i really wish for
Taken King and Rise of Iron were peak gaming for me, not just peak Destiny. We will never be back there again because that vision has been lost. I’d swap frame rates for that 30fps goodness any day.
I am a 10 yaar veteran and now in my late 50s. I have a lot of fond memories as well as frustration with the Destiny franchise. So many elements were so good, some were terrible but i also enjoyed it. Maybe time to let it go until Sony create D3....
Playing Forsaken and running around the tangled shore, then unlocking the dreaming city and realizing there was an entire second deatination was probably the best moment in D2 for me. Almost every other "best" memory was in D1.
Thank you so much for these videos. I was away from the game for a few years for school and watching these give me nostalgia I didnt know I had and this is so relaxing and fun.
Wow dude what a good freaking video it's so well thought out and so well written, definitely deserves more views enjoyed it very much cuz it brought back so many memories ❤️
I bought a year 1 disc copy of D1 and played a bit. Vanilla was rough, so I bought ttk. Its been nice to reexperience it, even tho my studies severely limit my playtime. Playing mayhem rumble was the funnest destiny pvp ive played in years. I was just having fun. The few that played too were chill and fun. I felt rusty, but kinda saw how rusty we all were... It was thrilling.
Year 1 guardian started right before The Dark Below I many not play hardcore anymore but when a new expansion comes out I always jump back in at some point. I fell in love with this world and had some the best gaming experiences I’ve ever had!
Excellent video and it was a pleasure to watch. That ending hit me unexpectedly hard, one day it will end and I think I'm going to look back fondly. Countless ups and downs but throughout all the years I've stuck with it and it has paid dividends. As you said here's to (hopefully) many years to come!
This video is amazing. It’s nice looking back and D1 and having all the memories from back then. I remember when the game was still new and I’d done a nightfall with my uncle and decrypted a legendary engram into the gjallahorn. Core memory from a legendary time.
IT DROPPED LETS GOOOO Edit: So I didn't have the time to watch it the day this dropped but I just finished watching it all now. I honestly didn't realise just how up and down D1 was in its lifetime. I knew it had a bit of a rocky start, but what I didn't realise was just how much of a ride it was. I unfortunately didn't get to play much of it as I was playing back on the Xbox 360 and back then the only only expansion you could buy for the platform was The Taken King, and (apparently, form what I had heard at the time) the 360 had Exotic weapon drops and Xur disabled from showing up. Dunno if that's true but I do remember never once ever getting or ever seeing an Exotic, and I never once saw Xur even though I went looking. As for D2, I started playing during Curse of Osiris and I felt so lost and confused that I quit the game I had fallen in love with until I finally decided to give it another shot a few years later, right before the DCV hit. I played at the tail end of Beyond Light and just about managed to squeeze in the Forsaken campaign, which made me fall in love with the game all over again. I was playing pretty steadily after that, playing in almost all of my free time outside of school, college and work. But I was always solo and missing out on the community and meeting a lot of people as I didn't ever get around to raiding. But then I found the app, and the Fireteam Finder there. I remember my first ever raid was Vault of Glass. It took us 8 hours as the guy sherpa-ing us through was the only one of us 6 that had ever done the raid before, and I hadn't even ever looked it up so I was daisy fresh going in XD I remember that we got to the Atheon section and someone cracked a joke that kept us laughing for a good 10 or 15 minutes. Overall the raid took us 8 hours but that was one of my most memorable times in the game. Fast forward a year or so later and I've cracked almost all the raids and dungeons, and I eventually find this one group that I join in a Root of Nightmares raid. Best group of people I'd met in the game. We were all from all over the place and many different clans I joined on the second encounter. We all vibed so well that we each left our clans and formed one of just us 6, eventually expanding it to over 10 other people. Unfortunately one day they all just stopped playing, but I still play with 3 people I've met in that time, even going so far as to Trio RoN, my only low-man clear (I will happily share my raid report for that XD). But... since The Final Shape and clearing all that content, I've just felt so apathetic towards Destiny. The layoffs and sub-par content of Episode 1 (sat least in my opinion) just... it doesn't have the same draw anymore. I hop on occasionally, but my time is now mostly spent on Warframe and The First Descendant. But Destiny is always going to hold a special place in my heart because of the amount of time I've spent with the game, and how much it shaped my childhood and teen years growing up. Eyes up Guardians. Tl;dr - started late in D1 on the 360, fell in love with the game. Came to D2 in CoO, got confused and quit until Beyond Light. Played regularly after that until Final Shape, having met a ton of people along the way and made a fuck-ton of memories. Now I play Warframe and The First Descendant because Episode 1 bores me.
The way you played through destiny and destiny 2 is exactly how I did it lol played d1 on ps4 started d2 in curse of Osiris then took a break until November of 2021 and I’ve been playing regularly ever since ( I really wish I didn’t take such a long break from curse of Osiris to November 2021 I missed so much😭😭😭)
what a banger. 5h of history. thanks for allowing me to relive much of my past. I lapsed out just before Lightfall I think, cant remember. I love D2 to bits, I just cant spend money on Pete. Also its way too bloated, I tried to pick it up again couple of weeks back and i got absolutely flooded by "buy this" popups. I checked my space map once, then quit and uninstalled. Rip Destiny. Rest well in our memories, F.
I love Destiny. I've been playing it, like most of the people that watched this, since the alpha of 1. If I remember right, it was originally touted as a "10 year game". As we've reached that, I think it's time to move on to something new. I hate to say that, but I can't stay interested in even the newest stuff for more than a month without getting bored. Either way, this is still my all-time favorite game ever. Great job with the video.
Hadn't seen anything before buying the game, and came in during week 2, so for me everything was just great. What I didn't know about removed content didn't bother me since I didn't know it should have been there.
I just came back home from work and master shadow posted a 5hrs video. Perfect time for "Feierabend". That's how we call it in Germany😂ggs and thank you sir🤝🏽
I remember playing Prison of Elders and finishing it only twice with all warlocks with self revive. That was seriously difficult and once I and my friends had it under our belts, we never went back.

My takeaway from this video:
Fire Pete parson, that gross pig

This, the armor and weapon models, are far better than d2 especially scout rifles.
Unfortunately all the "new enemy types" they have given us just feel too similar to each other. I can't really explain it.
@@redfin382 aren't they literally variations of old enemies. apart from tormentors and bats that is

There was never a game like destiny, they failed
The music, the way the controller shakes when using weapons.
D1 Will be the best.
D2 needs to put the d1 music back
I was so excited to buy and play D2 and I was so disappointed, wondering WTF, where is the amazing game, and once playing D2, I wasn't going back but they where brining back the past content as if this is why we moved to D2. I want my guns back, so I play D2 and give them money and my content isn't any better. The amazing content in D1.. I do feel it with my controller point of view, D2 is better.
Queen Witch was best, and then ? I do like the neon look in Neptune, but it never went the far. Weapons ? more of the amazing game of D2 is in Raids which I don't participate other than going in and looking for loot. They have tried to instead of going to a new level, stayed and tried to control us. Keep them playing vanguard until they get so sick and tired they play crucible and give them some Christmas special or holloween, and pay again. Sadly someone else isn't producing the same content or we would have moved to a new game.
10 years in 5 hours.
Sounds like a D1 expansion
Gameplay yea but lore nah if this was entirely lore we’d be here for months
Life if we looked at literally every lore story in a timeline 5 hours is a joke and would probably only be like 1% of all lore
So I’d say it’s 10 years super summed up in 5 hours

That was the moment I truly got addicted to destiny.

Ninja explained @16:45 exactly what made Destiny amazing. They should have kept legendary gear hard to get and exotics extremely rare.
I just want them to add a mega rare tier above exotics. But yeah rarity is essentially meaningless in the modern game and it’s sad
I've been living in Warframe for the past two months and tbh, the grind in that game for loot and gear sends me back to D1 days. It's excruciating but so rewarding when you're done. I was missing that feeling through D2 for a long time, ngl.
i miss the feeling of getting a new exotic and going to test it out in the cosmodrome

The nostalgia for this video is going to be unreal
I started the game in Beyond Light, I'm 35 mins in and this has been so illuminating. Completely blown away by your storytelling already. Great stuff
❤️❤️
I started playing late on Lightfall. Destiny throughout the years always stuck in the back on my head, friends and coworkers always told me to play. Since every FPS game in the industry is shit, the only game That was left to try was Destiny. As a new player is rough but once you pass that first phase, the grind and getting them exotics trust you gonna be hooked. Destiny is like that high school sweetheart that when things go rough out there and nobody likes you, you could always come back to her and play.
yeah i started early season 22
Can't relate
You should try warframe

There used to be serious challenge in completing a nightfall, but power creep now has this being so easy to do alone or especially in a group. But by far the largest downfall this game saw was the heavy introduction of micro transactions with Eververse. In Destiny 1 Eververse was only a few items, while everything else could be farmed in game, during special events etc. Now Eververse is where all the efforts are made, the store is massive now, and no longer can we really earn anything free for ourselves playing the game, even events stop rewarding items and instead sold them. This game lost its vision of its player base, and centers around pure greed these days. Shame Bungie never learned that while we got things free, this meant we were more inclined to want to spend on an Eververse item. Forcing us now pushed so many including myself away 😞
When I hear the destiny 1 OST I just wanna breakdown crying man, life was so simple and full of light and now it’s just the darkness
Geee I wonder why..
Thanks for all the effort on this. So many good memories, and things I'd almost forgotten. 10 years is a long time to be actively playing a game, and this is a great reminder of how far we've come, grown and enjoyed (and hated!) the game. Really appreciate the effort capturing as much as you did!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Honestly I don't believe destiny will die the game is like a cockroach it survives literally everything and anything. I really hope I'm right...
Look at this vids views to say it’s been out an hour brother. Collectively the wider community are done with it now. The interest’s gone
Knock on wood bud, it's all we can do
Under Bungie and Activision it was always supposed to be a 10 year franchise but if Sony fazes out Bungie and it becomes solely SIE it could continue.
@@chrisvda88 if bungie ceases to exist so does destiny mate. There is no appetite for d2 or d3 without bungie i assure you. There’s too much of a die-hard audience.
And don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying the game couldn’t be better without bungie nowadays, but the game would not hold playerbase were it off the back of the dissolution of bungo. I am about 95% sure now that it’s not only the end of destiny, but it’s also the end of bungie, and it’s really sombre mate
@@Liamo051 i think that sony have to take the lead. Bungie isn't the same bungie of 10 years ago. They need to go back to their "original story", they have a ton of things that aren't yet explored and those things can add story for at least other 10 years. Sony should keep a few people, then replace the others with people who really care about this saga, workers that know what they do. And most important,
Fire pete
This just makes me….so fucking sad man, I wanna go back, I want to play destiny again. I can’t even help but kinda cry cuz what we’ve lost is so gut wrenching
Also neat thing about sepiks prime’s soundtrack was recorded by a guitarist named misha mansoor, from the pretty big metal band periphery in which a couple members loved destiny
You must have tier 10 resilience irl to make a video like this considering the state of Destiny atm. Must’ve taken tons of time and effort, much respect.
Haha thank you. It was quite a process, but I had some awesome people helping make it possible!
Yooo, my experience with early D1 Red Death was peak gaming. Miss that.
You deserve the respect of the whole community for that project. I am blown away by the size, dedication and detail of this video.
Much respect. Really good Work.❤
❤
Haven’t even watched, but you’ve already got my like because I can’t imagine the amount of time it went into a five hour long video
Very nice video. Between you and Byf we can now get the full Destiny experience in 15 hours.
Bro, how the hell do you manage to run 3 channels, pump out quality content small and big AND play the game... 🤯 we don't even talk about this strange thing called RL.
I will watch this one, like a mini series "Season 1, E1-5 Shadow's Destiny". One of the best content creators 🤌 Keep it up!

@@Jaeden_Phoenix this is a phenomenal comment
lol
That pre-alpha footage of the director was nuts! Was looking forward to this, thank you for recapping the past ten years!
Glad you enjoyed it!
D1 raiding was peak gaming
"I don't have time to explain why I don't have time to explain". D1's story was a car crash at times but it was so much fun to play. I remember my first VoG run. The raids were great. The players kept breaking the game and that just added to the enjoyment. D2 stories have varied in quality but the lack of added content in crucible, the reuse of D1 weapons and maps and the lack of any mention of D3 have all been depressing, to say the least. They had a great franchise in their hands and have managed to screw it up.
Thanks for a great video.
It's wild that YESTERDAY I was trying to remember my day 1 life.
Now I don't need to 🌟
Thank you for another awesome upload!
I finally managed to see this great video. Respect for the enormous effort you had to put into it. Despite its flaws, Destiny 2 will always have a place in my heart. I started playing at 15, when Destiny 2 had been out for almost 4 months. Everything was still new to me then and magical. Forsaken was definitely the peak of Destiny 2 for me, and that's when I played the most, but everything comes to an end; that's part of life.
This video is so well done that I'm now depressed because we'll never have any of the great moments that defined the history of Destiny ever again...
Gonna put this on for background noise at work. You're the goat my dude.
Appreciate that a ton
Phenomenal vid... 5 HOURS???? We eating GOOD tonight! Can't imagine the amount of work that went into this. Kudos, bravo
❤❤❤
They took Joseph Staten’s Story and flushed it down the toilet at the last minute.. Mind you Joseph Staten wrote every single Halo Game, so they thought his story for D1 was bad, 🤣😂
Amazing work putting this all together man, I’m privileged to have been apart of it :)
12:47 the gall of that former dev to say that after seeing the final d1 vanilla story we got
God I miss the destiny 1 launch. Always coming home from 8th grade, launching the game and going to the loot cave. I remember seeing the ice breaker for the first time and being so in awe. I asked the guy “how did you get that gun?” He said “the vault of glass raid.” Suddenly I became obsessed.
It sounded fun back then
@@universpro7741 it was special that’s for sure
It took me 4 days to actually watch this entire video, and all I have to say is destiny will always be a part of my life, I’m so glad my dad bought me this game back in 2014 (Ps. Thank you shadow destiny for always making absolute banging content I hope we get more in the future and if not thank you for the memories made in this video)
Damn dude, forgot Gambit used to be 2/3 rounds. God those matches were so long!!
I rarely leave comments on videos but fuck this video was so good.
Good job dude.
I’m enjoying final shape but Destiny’s vibe and atmosphere peaked with Destiny 1.
The final shape feels so different as a universe when compared to what was set up in D1. Less grand in scale, a lot less interesting of a universe and more of a shallow soap opera with mediocre characters. The music isn’t as inspired as it was in D1, the worlds and locations aren’t as interesting…
Maybe I’m just getting old or maybe destiny truly did change but I miss the way Destiny used to be.. before Destiny 2 sort of “soft rebooted” the tone and look and then Beyond Light changed things further
Think In D1 they had all these core people while D2 kinda fired some important core Developers like the D1 game designer and armor designer etc
Thank God u made a new one. I'd listen to the light fall one for days on repeat when I was in my freshman year and thank you so much for remaking it😊
Thanks for listening, really appreciate it! I hope you enjoy the new and improved version
@@ShadowDestiny I listened to the first one religiously and I'll do the same w the new one

@@ShadowDestiny🫡 from one dude who loves destiny, to another
This is awesome!! I started in House of Wolves, so a lot of issues were ironed out by the time I started. But seeing everything about this game from early development to now is truly amazing.
2:16 so crazy to hear this and think back of those 10 years… coming back again and again. Many ups and downs but I’ve had my best gaming memories and met some of my best friends in that world. Hopefully Bungie can keep it going another 10. 🤞
You just had to be there… rewatched all the DLC’s trailers and they brought me to tears
I randomly saw the beta at 13 years old in the playstation store, downloaded it and fell absolutely in love. I preordered and watched that clock tick down. A week into release I met a fella who introduced me to his new clan he was trying to start. The rest is history.
Very well done. This is great not just for the vet players but for casuals like me. You should be very proud. 👏👏👏
I just watched this… I have played Destiny since Jan 2015. I have left those worlds multiple times, created new guardians when I came back…
To put it simply, I love the world Bungie created, always enjoyed playing even during those grinding times, it got me through my stroke recovery, that magically occurred right before it launched.
Saddens me to see a game that I loved slowly go away when it had the most potential to be a never ending series.
The DCV backfired so bad that even I, a D1 veteran returnee, can't even recruit my other friends to play D2.
From start, to finish.
What a beautiful saga. I'm glad to have enjoyed it.
If I could, I would do it again
The thing about the content drought in the taken king, I was 15. I was at school for most of my days, I really only played on the weekend, and Destiny wasn't the only game I played. I played a LOT of Destiny though, and I never felt the "content drought". No game can strive to be the ONLY game you play, and if you play a game for 8 weeks straight, that's honestly impressive
Amazing work shadow, you left no stone unturned. Thank you for taking us for a ride through all the nostalgia. This video is a way better introduction for new and returning players than the game itself
Thanks so much
Thank you for letting those 7 notes play out at 16:11, it takes me back every time.
Thank you for all the good times Destiny 1 & 2, I dearly miss you and the nostalgia is hitting so hard 😢
I have been playing Destiny since the Beta. Even with all its flaws, i loved this game. I was so hyped getting into D2 and got more and more alienated by it over the next two years. I would love a "complete" Destiny experience that contains everything from the last 10 years. Playing everything from start to finish in its polished state is somithing i really wish for
I ve been waiting for this video!!! Absolutely amazing. Thank you for giving us amazing content ✨.
Taken King and Rise of Iron were peak gaming for me, not just peak Destiny. We will never be back there again because that vision has been lost. I’d swap frame rates for that 30fps goodness any day.
This is comprehensive AF. Good work. Final Shape I think was my swan song with this game. Crazy 10 years.
I am a 10 yaar veteran and now in my late 50s. I have a lot of fond memories as well as frustration with the Destiny franchise. So many elements were so good, some were terrible but i also enjoyed it. Maybe time to let it go until Sony create D3....
This video reminded me of why I fell in love with this game. Ty so much for this ! Really hope we see a D3
The Speaker would be so pissed at us now that we use Darkness 😂😂
Playing Forsaken and running around the tangled shore, then unlocking the dreaming city and realizing there was an entire second deatination was probably the best moment in D2 for me. Almost every other "best" memory was in D1.
Thank you so much for these videos. I was away from the game for a few years for school and watching these give me nostalgia I didnt know I had and this is so relaxing and fun.
Wow dude what a good freaking video it's so well thought out and so well written, definitely deserves more views enjoyed it very much cuz it brought back so many memories ❤️
Thanks a ton!
I bought a year 1 disc copy of D1 and played a bit. Vanilla was rough, so I bought ttk.
Its been nice to reexperience it, even tho my studies severely limit my playtime.
Playing mayhem rumble was the funnest destiny pvp ive played in years. I was just having fun. The few that played too were chill and fun. I felt rusty, but kinda saw how rusty we all were...
It was thrilling.
Thanks for this content! It was great getting to look back at all the past adventures!!
Thank you shadow so much for working super hard and making this amazing video. Brought back some incredible memories. ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Year 1 guardian started right before The Dark Below I many not play hardcore anymore but when a new expansion comes out I always jump back in at some point. I fell in love with this world and had some the best gaming experiences I’ve ever had!
Excellent video and it was a pleasure to watch. That ending hit me unexpectedly hard, one day it will end and I think I'm going to look back fondly. Countless ups and downs but throughout all the years I've stuck with it and it has paid dividends. As you said here's to (hopefully) many years to come!
This video is amazing. It’s nice looking back and D1 and having all the memories from back then. I remember when the game was still new and I’d done a nightfall with my uncle and decrypted a legendary engram into the gjallahorn. Core memory from a legendary time.
haha that is so awesome. Thanks for watching
IT DROPPED LETS GOOOO
Edit: So I didn't have the time to watch it the day this dropped but I just finished watching it all now. I honestly didn't realise just how up and down D1 was in its lifetime. I knew it had a bit of a rocky start, but what I didn't realise was just how much of a ride it was. I unfortunately didn't get to play much of it as I was playing back on the Xbox 360 and back then the only only expansion you could buy for the platform was The Taken King, and (apparently, form what I had heard at the time) the 360 had Exotic weapon drops and Xur disabled from showing up. Dunno if that's true but I do remember never once ever getting or ever seeing an Exotic, and I never once saw Xur even though I went looking.
As for D2, I started playing during Curse of Osiris and I felt so lost and confused that I quit the game I had fallen in love with until I finally decided to give it another shot a few years later, right before the DCV hit. I played at the tail end of Beyond Light and just about managed to squeeze in the Forsaken campaign, which made me fall in love with the game all over again. I was playing pretty steadily after that, playing in almost all of my free time outside of school, college and work. But I was always solo and missing out on the community and meeting a lot of people as I didn't ever get around to raiding. But then I found the app, and the Fireteam Finder there.
I remember my first ever raid was Vault of Glass. It took us 8 hours as the guy sherpa-ing us through was the only one of us 6 that had ever done the raid before, and I hadn't even ever looked it up so I was daisy fresh going in XD I remember that we got to the Atheon section and someone cracked a joke that kept us laughing for a good 10 or 15 minutes. Overall the raid took us 8 hours but that was one of my most memorable times in the game.
Fast forward a year or so later and I've cracked almost all the raids and dungeons, and I eventually find this one group that I join in a Root of Nightmares raid. Best group of people I'd met in the game. We were all from all over the place and many different clans I joined on the second encounter. We all vibed so well that we each left our clans and formed one of just us 6, eventually expanding it to over 10 other people.
Unfortunately one day they all just stopped playing, but I still play with 3 people I've met in that time, even going so far as to Trio RoN, my only low-man clear (I will happily share my raid report for that XD).
But... since The Final Shape and clearing all that content, I've just felt so apathetic towards Destiny. The layoffs and sub-par content of Episode 1 (sat least in my opinion) just... it doesn't have the same draw anymore. I hop on occasionally, but my time is now mostly spent on Warframe and The First Descendant.
But Destiny is always going to hold a special place in my heart because of the amount of time I've spent with the game, and how much it shaped my childhood and teen years growing up.
Eyes up Guardians.
Tl;dr - started late in D1 on the 360, fell in love with the game. Came to D2 in CoO, got confused and quit until Beyond Light. Played regularly after that until Final Shape, having met a ton of people along the way and made a fuck-ton of memories. Now I play Warframe and The First Descendant because Episode 1 bores me.
The way you played through destiny and destiny 2 is exactly how I did it lol played d1 on ps4 started d2 in curse of Osiris then took a break until November of 2021 and I’ve been playing regularly ever since ( I really wish I didn’t take such a long break from curse of Osiris to November 2021 I missed so much😭😭😭)
@@taco_toe_cheese7551 Right? I WISH I could have been around for the Leviathan and Scourge raids
Ohhhh my days, the nostalgia with Destiny 1 vanilla is such a good feeling. Would love to go back to that time.
A good update and run down. This is a great primer for what's been going on the last 10 years
Im just so happy i was there for it all and im still here for it.
Man. Those 7 pillars made me experience destiny 1 all over again in my soul.
this is incredible. thank you!!
what a banger. 5h of history. thanks for allowing me to relive much of my past. I lapsed out just before Lightfall I think, cant remember. I love D2 to bits, I just cant spend money on Pete. Also its way too bloated, I tried to pick it up again couple of weeks back and i got absolutely flooded by "buy this" popups. I checked my space map once, then quit and uninstalled. Rip Destiny.
Rest well in our memories, F.
I only started at Witch Queen and am jealous i never got to play some of the earlier classics. This is such an ambitious project, so thanks. 🙏
Thanks for this! it was great. After 10 years its been an amazing ride, and I HOPE it will continue
I hope so too!
I love Destiny. I've been playing it, like most of the people that watched this, since the alpha of 1. If I remember right, it was originally touted as a "10 year game". As we've reached that, I think it's time to move on to something new. I hate to say that, but I can't stay interested in even the newest stuff for more than a month without getting bored. Either way, this is still my all-time favorite game ever. Great job with the video.
Thank you, and sadly I think many people feel the same after 10 years. Here’s to hoping they someday revitalize things and maybe make a d3!!
this is the perfect destiny nostalgia video
I had the best day driving around Michigan for work. Listening to this in between my stops!
Thanks for listening!
listen to this every time I take a shower. 3/4 through
Amazing Video Shadow!
Thank you!
Hadn't seen anything before buying the game, and came in during week 2, so for me everything was just great. What I didn't know about removed content didn't bother me since I didn't know it should have been there.
I just came back home from work and master shadow posted a 5hrs video. Perfect time for "Feierabend". That's how we call it in Germany😂ggs and thank you sir🤝🏽
Great video. Lots of investigating and thought went into this.
I remember playing Prison of Elders and finishing it only twice with all warlocks with self revive. That was seriously difficult and once I and my friends had it under our belts, we never went back.
its so sad watching the beginning of this video its so cathartic
Completly forgot about the ornament system...again great content and thanks for the nostalgia
The pyramid enemy concept at 1:06:12 is better than anything we’ve gotten in game
16:12 that music, it brings so many memories!
