      +Anthony Maguire Feels like it, but Dark Souls gives you clues to the story and in the end you have a choice: (Spoilers Ahead) light the flame, killing yourself and continue the damage done by the first sin (Gwyn lighting the flame) and keep the shaking status quo of false gods (The Lords from the Age of Fire) or take your chances with the Age of Darkness that was supposed to come had Gwyn not being a power hungry coward, in Dark Souls 2 you break that cycle and begins to usher The Age of Darkness. In the third game your character is hunting down the Lords of Cinder, people that like Gwyn, lit the fire, in a world that is getting whitered from the conflict initiated by the first sin

      Final chapter is going to be equally as disappointing as every expansion thus far. Its like the walking dead, they've stripped the franchise completemy and butt fucked it for so many years, theres no way in hell they will magically redeem themselves with an expansion that comes out 8-9 years later. The best ending for destiny would be if the fans just jumped ship and didn't buy into this manipulative nonsense for the final chapter. Let them feel the heat below their feet as they see that the fans finally had enough of their low effort half assed cash grab manipulation of the last decade!

  • @Johnnythat1dude
    @Johnnythat1dude 8 лет назад +40

    The supposed robot Batman is actually the remnants of the original Destiny story that was cut out from Destiny. I am not sure if this is exactly it, and in my free time I have dug around, but I have found out the original story of Destiny before this bit of trash came by!
    Originally in Destiny what happened was that the Traveler, actually would travel through Universes and manipulated the events of that universe so the Traveler would be completely praised and it fed off of that worship. It kept going from Universe to Universe, feeding itself off of these and manipulated events using the Vex and the Speaker (hence why he is masked, he is just a conduit of the Traveler and eventually a boss fight). You'd eventually be learning from Robot Batman about the Traveler being evil. The Reef later became a playable hub area in House of Wolves, but this was supposed to be your second hub at the halfway point in the story where you wouldn't be welcome in the Tower anymore. Eventually you would have made your way into the Traveler and eventually murder the round fucker. This is just what I have heard and read, could be wrong, but no one lie to me here, I think that is actually a pretty interesting story.
    The reason for this story being cut was because Activision was being a dick. Activision had huge restraints on their production and was looking for every chance they could to cut content from the game. These restraints made it so actually there are six copies of Destiny made. Six fucking copies!

    • @Johnnythat1dude

      Being able to escape to an interesting and well realized world is nice, yes. However, gameplay matters a lot too. Destiny has fantastically polished core mechanics. That alone can keep someone playing, especially with the lack of high mobility shooters on the market. Hope that helps.

    you hit so hard with all these points its honestly saddening that the echo of the game in 2013 looks and sounds infinitely more entertaining and compelling than the entirety of Destiny- DLC and all currently. it looked like it was going to blow the doors off with how immersive and innovative it could've been. it really disappoints me that developer and infrastructure collapse with the company ruined what looked to be the most amazing game in years. every minute i played from start, to "story" finish felt completely hollow like it was missing its soul, there was no excitement or driving force behind it, it felt like i was doing all the work from the first interaction with The Speaker to the final moment killing the 3 carbon copy final bosses in the black garden. i truly hope that Bungie or someone gets a second chance to breath some real life into this game in a sequel or something. because looking at those Reddit posts in this video and seeing an old 2013 cut-scene; which i didn't even know existed, reminded me of what i thought this game was going to be when i pre-ordered it, fun.

      From what the studio went through of the constant meddling and fuck ups that ensued that key members left the project just tells me that there are genuine ideas that were left out for the sake of time. If Bungie was allowed to delay the game by a year or so it could have been polished much better for the glaring issues that were present.
      I just hope that there is at least a group of employees that have risen to the occasion to bring the content the game so desperately needs. I can feel how passionate the lead writer can be since I'm an English major currently.
      I can't help to think what IHE stated my thought process of what happened to the game.

The graphics were perfect, the pacing was great, the writing was phenomenal and honesty the music you played in the background of some of your key points was amazing.

    But I don't understand how people claim this game to be one of the best games (and fps) ever created. I feel nothing for the characters in this game and so many questions have to be answered outside the game.

    It's funny going onto games like this where everybody is the only hero to save the world.
    "Alright, I'm only hero, here to save the world. Don't worry guys. I got this!"
    Some other players "W- wait. I am also the only hero to save the world. How are you the only hero?"
    "Because they said so in the cut scene. They said I'm the *only* hero to save the world. Just ME"
    "But everybody else..........is........also a hero.......the only hero"
    "I'm the better only hero here."
    *Max level player walks by* "Already saved the world."
    "Bu- WHAT? I JUST GOT HERE. THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED TO SAVE THE WORLD. Ho- wha- how?! WHY tell me that bullshit. Why not say, there are all these kind of heroes, instead of making all players that one hero."
    *random dude* "I'm half way to saving the world. What about you guys?"
    "Wait, what? If the high level player already saved the world, and you're half way through, and I'm about start. What the fuck. I thought I was the only hero, but I guess there are individual worlds for individual heroes to save."
    "Sure"

      Jesus, this game's production puts Power Rangers Megaforce to shame and then shits on it. So reportedly, head writer Joseph Slaten had the game's story done by 2012 and handed what I've done to understand is the video game equivalent of a pitch pilot to Bungie's suits. However, it was rejected for being linear and cringey so it was rewritten in about seven months. Executives and producers pretty much sat on Slaten's shoulder and watched him churn out the weird, unexplained, tedious and frankly insulting bullshit seen here. This executive bullshit and confusing production is why he ends up leaving the company and then the mass exodus that followed. This is Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric levels of rushed.

    I can confirm that there were sudden and abrupt changes in the development of Destiny less than a year ago. There was tension between higher ups the entire time we were developing the title due to a lack of cohesion about the vision for the game. One side wanted this huge space epic, like an MMO Mass Effect and the other side was not convinced that would sell and wanted to pare things back to more "easily accessible" standards. They were afraid too much story elements and cut scenes would drive players off.
    Then Joe left and everything just fell apart. By the time we were 7 months out to release, word came down that we were making massive revisions to the game's story. Huge portions of dialogue were excised and I think several recordings were redone to support the new narrative. Entire areas that would have been in the final game were removed, but some of the context wasn't, which explains weird reactions from NPCs and strange, unexplained motivations. We had a guy come in to write the grimoire cards who was given access to the original script with notations on what was cut and what needed to be revised in order to make this zombie of a game seem plausible.
    All of the Last City factions had their storylines and dialogue cut, the Guardian's initial introduction to the Tower and the Last City was cut, and ALL the origins were homogenized down to the one originally used for Exo characters.
    Most of what was cut was planned to be re-polished into DLC, but it's all there on the disc. Not all of it is live on the servers, but it's all there on the disc. Some last minute art assets needed to be remade, which is what you'll be downloading.
    It's an embarrassing disaster and not the game I thought would be published.

    I really hate it when people shit on destiny's story. Because all you need to do is look past what's being spoon fed to you by small animations. I felt the same way IHE does, I was annoyed with the lack of exposition. But I looked past what was, and when you do its Amazing! The detailed stories of Kabr, Dredgen Yor, I Kora Rey, Xur, the Queen Of The Reef, they all have such detailed and lengthy stories. And everyone could know them if they took the extra time to uncover them. I could write for hours about the Dark Ages, the Golden Age, the Battle Of Twilight Gap, the story behind every exotic in the game, the Vault Of Glass, when you look underneath the first layer there is so much rich stories to enjoy.

    I hate to be that one guy,but I never really payed attention to this game. But I pose a question: Is Destiny a 'copy' of Borderlands 2?
    I haven't heard much, but from what I have, i drew these parallels.
    1) A robot who is looking around, and suddenly finds the protagonist who has been dead for a long time.
    2)The protagonists are set out to protect the last of a group, and eventually set everything right.
    3) The rankings of how rare the weapons are + how they are color coded.
    4) Looking for slightly better gear to go through tougher parts of the game.
    5) Finding chests that can either give you a rare gun or one that you don't need.

    • @CSCzephyr
      @CSCzephyr 9 лет назад

      Well, while the first parallel is indeed true, the others you mentioned are kinda MMO basics. They're in so many other games like WoW and Guild Wars, that it's just bread-and-butter at this point.

    • @archerfan66
      @archerfan66 9 лет назад

      Destiny is NOT a copy of borderlands. I dont get why people say they're the same but since you havn't played destiny, I'll tell you a few reasons why they're different
      1). the story of borerlands 2 is WAY more interesting and enjoyable than Destiny's. Simple as that
      2)The side quests in Borderlands actually tell a story, even if most are fecth quest they're still entertaining.
      3) Borderlands 2 has a crap ton of characters that are memorable,funny, and have back story.
      4) The loot system in Destiny is way to random. At least in Borderlands theres side quests with a guaranteed rewards and bosses with high drop rates for rare gear.
      They may have similar concepts but they're not the same.

    Yes I can see what you mean by, 'everyones a hero' and how stupid it is. It could have easily done something like WoW that leaves the main character as a grunt serving more important people. And if you do something amazing you can keep it to yourself knowing that the people you just got all those apples for just killed a dragon with a tooth pick.

      True, and at least in Diablo III the Nephalem feels somewhat important considering you can choose to solo or play 2-4 player (unless 1-3 of the other players are carrying, then you feel useless and not important at all).

  • @115zombies935
    @115zombies935 2 года назад +6

    The “story” behind why the story is so dreadfully bad is actually quite funny. Joseph Staten and his team had the story finished, but shortly before launch the lead producers on the game decided they wanted to see what the story was about for the first time (they never checked in on it up to this point lol). They decided they didn’t like it because for reasons such as it being too campy so they scraped everything. Joseph Staten left Bungie shortly after this rejection, and the story he and his team wrote were turned into the grimoire cards. The producers formed a team they called “The Iron Bar” to scrambler together something that could resemble a story right at the end of development from pieces of the game that were already finished. Thus we got this absolute train wreck of a story.

  • @427Arbok
    @427Arbok 5 лет назад +10

    The thing is, the problem with the story doesn't seem to be that the game is an MMO. The real problem seems to be that it's a "Chosen One" story in an MMO. I'm just going off of the footage from your reviews, but that's quite a lot, and it's very telling. Simply put, the story is built in such a way as to have the player character be the "Only one who can [do something]" when there's quite clearly a multitude of other guardians who very much can. The idea doesn't mesh with the reality of the game. If the game simply toned-down the scale from "THE CHOSEN ONE OF THE HOLY PROPHECY WHO SHALL SAVE THE LIGHT FROM THE DARKNESS" to "Person who lives in this world and works for this organization," it could actually have a half-decent story. Personal stories and arcs tend to work really well in an MMO setting, as they're built around interacting with the world and its NPCs.
    So what I'm saying is that Destiny either A) Tried something ambitious but stupid, B) Didn't actually give much thought to storytelling in an MMO setting, or C) Sacrificed depth and personal involvement to give the player a false sense of importance in-universe. While I'm usually optimistic and like to give benefits where there's a doubt, given the game's history and the fact that the publisher is Activision... I have a feeling the third possibility is the most likely answer.

    • @427Arbok
      @427Arbok 5 лет назад +4

      Of course, the other alternative exists that Destiny should've just been a single-player experience with optional co-op and an online arena. That would've also worked quite a lot better.

  • @Oksobasically2
    @Oksobasically2 9 лет назад +13

    This is clear evidence of a "creative control" contract. When bungie let activision be their publisher they signed a contract. Therein lies the problem. The contract probably had a clause saying the creative control would be given to activision. This explains why the story sucks (activision is not famous for publishing games with great stories like halo) the gunplay is above average to great (activision is a famous publisher of games like cod which has addicting gunplay) and what's left of the game is an attempt to squeeze every cent out of you. Case in point being the story was cut, slashed, and hacked into pieces or dlc. In conclusion, activision is following its time tested formula of over hyping a game, focusing on gunplay and basic gameplay while leaving things like in depth universe, story, and level design on the wayside. In essence it wanted to use bungie as a resource pool and hype generator. Bungie should've retained creative control. This is activision's fault. Not bungie's. I'll gladly buy a bungie game while bungie is independent or has creative control but I will never buy one while activision has its name next to bungie's on the box.

    I remember playing the game for the first time, then the finale mission happened. I was surprised. I was baffled. Like seriously? I thought I was getting to the 1/4 check mark, or at least the half way point. But no that was it. I remember having been ahead of my friend, and him and I played the finale mission and I was just sitting there waiting to hear his reaction.

    Thanks for clarifying this!
    I came to destiny relatively late. And remember just feeling... Dumb (for lack of a better term) that I didn't understand anything that was going on.
    I kept telling myself that there will be a 'penny drop' moment at some point. Next thing I knew the main game 'story' was over!!
    At this point all I knew was that there are 4 main 'baddy' races (but not much about them) and that they fight each other.
    No real understanding of who or what the traveller is. Or what the main goal of the guardians are.
    Oh, and there's something called Rasputin...
    That's about it.
    I even went to Wikipedia to try and answer some of these questions!
    Which helped a little. But I shouldn't have to just get a little more informative about what is supposed to be a story driven game
    Taken King was a little better but again I had to go to my trusted source, Wikipedia to help clarify what was going on.
