It's weird that Bungie keeps writing him as an egomaniac. He has moments of reflecting on his mistakes, but he never apologizes for being extremely arrogant.
@@DUKEzors to be fair he is one of the oldest, smartest, and strongest guardians ever. You ever see a boomer irl think they can never be wrong? Yeah they have experience and generally know what they’re talking about but sometimes don’t
@@bossjack4225 He is two parts intelligent and experienced and one part straight up asshole. From what we know he always kinda was one even in his Vanguard days. It got worse after he left the Vanguard, chasing the electric Boogeymen
The Vanguard has a lot of people who think they do cooler stuff than the guardian, while they brood on locations and hand out armor sets. But if I had the chance I'd slap Osiris every time he opens his mouth. B*tch already was already pushing his boundaries before the whole Savathun incident.
Not enough people are talking about the video description, I'll be interested to hear Datto's feelings going into a decade of Destiny coverage, what that means for him, his feelings on the future of this series that Bungie has pretty much confirmed is NOT ending with the Final Shape, and what Datto wants to do going forward for his channel and coverage. 10 years, absolutely wild Datto!
The expansion itself, risen, and seraph were all highlights. This year, we had higher highs, and higher lows than most years. Honestly, thats makes for a pretty good year.
@@nahqiv Plunder was definitely that one part in animes where they go on side quests for a while for filler episodes. That being said, Haunted was a great story, exploring Crow's shame from his previous self, Zavala's survivor guilt, and Caiatl tackling that her mentor did not share the same opinions as to what was best for the Cabal empire.
My 1 complaint after witch queen and season of the rizen. Was the lack of lucient hive. The didn't show up in anything for haunted and only showed up for a bit in plunder. The hive light-bearers were gone outside the seasonal activity, story, and random events in the throne world. The need to come back it's such a cool concept
Get ready for the Tormentors than because they were carefully placed in the story! Meaning probably not in strikes or anything else, minus maybe a Tormentor-like boss in the raid.
Yeah I was thinking the same, the concept of hive guardians should be a way bigger deal then it ended up being, it's crazy to me that them having the light hasn't had a massive impact on the world going forward.
15:10 one little thing I quite liked abt the dawning this year is the fact they revamped all the weapons and made them all actually look Christmas-y. Before it kinda felt like some weapons didn’t really have the same spirit as others but this year that was changed AND the new origin trait which was pretty fun to add to that.
Ooo, new channel emblem? I like it. It’s definitely different, but neat. Also, “Life, Humanity, and Cheese-Its” Yeah I think you got all the important stuff there.
I mean, we almost had something like that in Beyond Light with the camp where you could unlock new decorations from completing triumphs and the tribute hall from Opulent. I'd love to see that extended into something like the Dojos or Orbiters from Warframe. Imagine having a hall full of the heads of raid bosses or mannequins to show off your looks or a firing range to test your guns.
Regarding the end, I think one of the big concerns Bungie likely has with trying crazy stuff is their slow update pace. If they try something that everyone hates, they aren’t really able to make nuanced changes to it in a regular basis
Another massive change this season, that had me, an on and off player, playing again, was unlocking all mods for everyone. I reinstalled and bought the expansions I hadn't the next day.
Datto: gives an extensive and accurate, if somewhat broad scale, summary of this season's very dense and lore heavy story Also Datto: I'm not really a lore person, tbh
It’s interesting that at the end of the pirate season eramis was kinda almost almost ready to stop fighting us. And now at the end of the seraph season the witness rose her house as scorn almost like a punishment. It’s possible she may switch sides ya know
Pretty spot on as usual. And yeah its been 10 yrs of Destiny coverage for you and 10 yrs watching for me. Excited for the June vid and will look forward to the future of the channel. Thanks for the video glhf
I liked the difficulty change in this seasons seasonal activities but there were a few too many orange bars in the early areas, it's fine to have trash mobs that basically exist to scram at you and die, as long as the big enemies are engaging and fun to fight.
I think the first part and the room where you open the inner bunker door were my favorite parts. You could absolutely slay out and just roll everything, but you could also very quickly get waxed if you weren't careful or weren't playing as a team. Honestly, between the heists and solo legendary exotic quests, I think the difficulty was perfect.
hey Datto. Im a subscriber since you started talking about destiny 1 before the game even released. I dont play destiny atm but I come to your channel every once in a while. I remember you having a few thousand subscribers and seeing your enormous success makes me really happy, you deserve it. I appreciate you for sticking to your roots. being as informative as you were all the time and not using weird-face-thumbnails or clickbait headlines. These days youtube is kinda polluted with trash content with zero info which can be frustrating sometimes. Thank you for staying as you are for all these years, still providing us with free premium high quality content. Kudos!
Thankful for going on 10 years of Datto. It feels absolutely insane to say it’s been that long as I remember the D1 Beta like it was last night, so excited for that video & for what the future holds ❤️
I think with the manticore we all just collectively looked at it, went ‘eh looks cool’, tried it out for a bit then put it in the vault, never to be used again.
I really enjoyed the level cap system in the heist battleground. The enemy combat and their resistance to the guardians made it really fun. We werent just over powered guardians.
thanks also for giving the coverage over the last season, i’ve enjoyed a lot of this one, and really the return of puzzles and just the beauty of the station and the quality of story telling. see you in lightfall
Wish they had a mode similar to war frame where you stay for 5 rounds or continue and the longer you stay the better the rewards. Sorta like the wells but it can be infinite with a small fire team, basically survive from the last mission in reach
I'm thinking very hard if it's worth it to come back. I've been playing destiny since Day one of Destiny 1 All my friends stopped playing it a little bit after destiny 2. I stopped playing after I finished witch queen. Everything is so confusing, the builds, weapon crafting and all that. I've had enough after some time. But destiny has a place on my heart, it's the only game that I've played for this long. I just hope lightfall is different at its core. I'll watch datto's stream tomorrow and see if it's any different, hope I can bring myself to love this game again.
I get that space battles and housing may be a bit much, but what about sparrow racing. It would probably be something a lot of people would enjoy.... Wait a minute...
This year overall was good with some relatively good season stories there were some holes in the road but the build up through the seasons was nice. I do hope we see a mix up with the season patterns like the weekly missions, 3x7 upgrades, etc cause going though that for a while now it kinda drags and to that some new boss designs in the season activity seeing the same boss with a new name is boring. As for holiday events that we got it was alright but it is the same stuff we’ve seen with some new weapons sprinkled in again new stuff would be nice
Overall honestly loved this season. I played less during Season of the Risen and it's crazy how much time I spent playing this season. My main issue with Seraph Shield was how buggy it was and how no one could join you if you were already in the activity on legend. Many runs had to be restarted because a servitor wouldn't spawn. Took me forever to figure out the "can't crouch" work around. Other than that I loved it. I felt Heists were a lot of fun and offered high red bar drop rates. Overall played more this season than the last two seasons. I pretty much got the seasonal titles and then stopped afterwards. I even bounty grinded on three characters. Excited for Lightfall!
While it wouldn’t be super innovative, I’d really, REALLY like to see wacky modes come to Gambit. Gambit is the only core activity in the game to have one selectable mode to queue for and it needs something way more unique than what Gambit Prime was. Now I don’t want to say “throw balance out the window to make a gamemode bonkers” but I feel like Gambit has a lot of potential to be fun if there were more unique gamemodes. Team Scorched in Crucible for example is a very unique, yet pretty balanced gamemode because everyone is locked to a fun-to-use thirdperson rocket launcher. I’ve had an idea for a while about a Gambit custom mode using vehicles, but I’ve thought about how I would go around doing it better. I would call the mode, “Enemy Arms Gambit” where everyone is forced into using some form of thirdperson relic weapon like Scorch Cannons, Hive Swords, or the Vex Shield from VoG (let’s say just Scorch Cannons for now to keep it fair). Banking motes still summons the same blockers, but if your team reaches an invasion threshold, your team gets one vehicle. The first threshold gets you a Heavy Pike, the second gives you an Interceptor, and the final one gives you a Drake. The invasion portal’s size is also changed to allow you to invade with Vehicles, but that risks losing the Vehicle your team worked for if the invasion doesn’t succeed. That way there’s actually a gamble in Gambit if you need extra firepower to succeed. This could be pretty cool, but I know there’s many ways to make it better.
On of my favorite things in both Division games is the Dark Zone, Div 1 was my favorite iteration of it so I'll explain that one. It was this huge section of the map that was an open world area, the deeper you went the harder it got, but the better the loot. There were areas that were like Lost Sectors with powerful enemies in them that had chests of powerful loot in them. There were also public event like things that happened in there too. The kicker is that any loot you got was Contaminated and had to be extracted before you could use it, to extract you had to go to one of several points on the map and call a helicopter which would stick around for a couple minuets before leaving with any loot players and then leave. The second kicker? It was a PvEvP area, players could "go rogue" and kill other players for the contaminated loot they've picked up in that run, and calling a Helicopter would alert any nearby players who could also steal the loot you've attached before it leaves. I spent a lot of time in there, the risk and reward (while not having the risk of losing EVERYTHING like in games like Tarcov) and the tough pve elements made it very fun, even if I almost never went rogue. I have no idea how they would pull something like this off in Destiny, especially considering the TTK is a lot higher in the Div games and mobility isnt as insane as it is in Destiny, but it would be cool to see.
Two years later and this is still the best season in D2 history, this is the kind of story that makes seasons work because there were multiple different opponants to keep it interesting, it felt somewhat overwhelming and like we couldn't relax. We focus on Xivu Arath and Eramis nearly takes control of the satalite, we focus on Eramis and Clovis' plan gets revealed, we focus on Clovis and Xivu nearly lures us into her trap, we focus on Xivu and then Eramis takes over the warsats. It'a not just fighting the same enemy and doing the same thing week on week, the only other season that's done something similar was season of the Witch. Plus the stakes of such a long-term character dying in the end, and one that actually had an effect on the plot.
I just noticed in the ending cinematic for season of the seraph the scene with ikora and Zavala looking up at the traveler are surrounded by guardians wearing D1 armor sets which is cool but sad because I low key miss the more rugged look the armor we had back then compared to the non stop knight and smooth armor sets we have now
Forgot to mention giving all non raid armor mods for free during this season as well. Not super important for veteran, but this is huge for new players. It going work slightly different in lightfall (I think you need a certain light level?), allowing you to need a lot less time from being in the mid game to raid and master dungeon ready. Oh, and they made gms not need max power for you to be at the -25 cap. That slightly less important but still super nice.
The first 20 or so battlegrounds I was like cool I enjoy the level cap. After the honeymoon period I proceeded to speed run battlegrounds because I couldn't be bothered. It's amazing how much you can skip
Datto, please give us your critical thoughts on Diablo 4! I know I wouldn’t be the only one eager to hear your thoughts about that game coming out. I love your perspective because it helps open my eyes to what’s in front of me, Thank you for putting in the work for these videos script or no script, it’s appreciated.
One quality of life update they could do is have random drops in trials. I've ran into, and been curb stomped by, multiple teams this weekend simply reseting at 3 wins to farm trials rank because that was the most effective method for getting. If there was any loot at the end of matches maybe people wouldn't have to reset cards to farm gear
I've been yelling on reddit about stuff like this for years but youtube will now feel my ideas too: 1) I want gambit to be the "silly/crazy/CHAOS" mode of the game. Drifter is a wacky yet mysterious character that walks the line of what we know and don't know. Let his game mode be wild. Give our grenades 200% damage boost but they're all we can use. Make bullets (rockets and grenade launchers included) ricochet of anything minimum 5 times before they impact and deal damage. Make our guardians have giant heads. Anything wacky or crazy. Put it in a gambit playlist. (while also keeping the normal gambit experience) 2) Gameplay innovations should include more brainwork. I get that there is a large portion of the player base that just wants "no thinky-think, only shooty shoot" but I think things like strikes and seasonal activities need more puzzles and interaction and mechanics where it's more than just "shoot, collect, carry, etc". Give us something that breaks the mold for a destiny mechanic, and put it in more than just raids. 3) Make champion mods broader. This is a relatively small one compared to the other two, but I want champ mods to affect more than just specific gun types. I still don't like GM's, only because I have to run specific weapons to *Play the activity* at all. Surges and such that we have and are getting are kind of annoying but I can live with that, not my cup of tea but I get where they're coming from. But champion mods take away any of the fun build crafting I do outside of the activity, unless the mods are for weapons that i'm already using, which is rare. make overload rounds only out of primaries, make anti barrier only on special, and make Unstoppable on power (just an example, don't hate if you disagree). Just make them easier to use in more builds. Anyway LIGHTFALL WOO
Ayyyy Datto with the Hey Arnold aquarium security guard reference with cookies. I think that one with the sea turtle is like one of the first episodes of that series
If you made it to the end of the video: 18:45 "Butt, if Bungie has some weird stuff that they want to try, I say try it." (misspelling was intentional) If you watch any of Jez's videos, you will get the joke...
Imagine later they give you the dog as another vehicle but you have to get it first. You can call it forward like strider or use strand to have it run you through an area. 🤯
For a split second I thought this was a re upload by someone else because idk if I've ever seen the datto logo change lmao good for you king it looks nice
Anyone else craving destiny content like an addict and just scrolling through it on RUclips as we wait for tomorrow morning to give us the wonderful access to lightfall we all crave?
It's insane to me that Datto and I have been playing this game for almost ten years. I remember watching his mythoclast raid exotic video in my freshman highschool classes. Now I'm watching this video as an adult working a 12hr shift lmao
These seasons were very interesting ones, and I have my feelings on them, but I always have the mindset of, let's wait and see how impactful this past year was on the next year.
What if bungie added a rougelike endless mode that you would start with white gear and no aspects / fragments and you work your way up? Idk how it would go but it’d be pretty spicy for out there ideas
Risen is probably my favorite of the 4 this year Seraph definitely has much more stuff (Revision Zero and such) but Risen’s armor is just baller af, Guns are either Stronk or just powerful work horses, Battlegrounds was fun, VOID 3.0 and Volatile Flow making Purple a feeling.
honestly i absolutely loved rasputin and his place in the Destiny universe, kinda felt it was super cheap to just kill him off like that, another case of "this character is the strongest character man has ever built" and somehow he has to sacrifice himself because a walking alien insect was able to hack him?
@@MichaelEilers Clovis is still there. The copy of his AI that was in the helm sent data back to the AI Clovis on Europa before Rasputin and Ana deleted him. I can't be sure if he sent his memories but he definitely sent a message saying "they know" to warn his Europa AI that we learned his ulterior motive of using Rasputin to destroy the Traveller and become a warmind/the sole protector of humanity. It's possible that he comes back as a more primary antagonist than how we've experienced him so far (he's been more of a deuteragonist whenever our focus was on Eramis) and forces us to make it a priority to get rid of him completely.
With the callback to the D1 key art, bringing the OG fireteam back into the spotlight and seemingly killing them off, I really hope this expansion doesn't flop.
Its almost a cliché at this point but it really does feel like we're going into the "infinity war" of Destiny. It's all been building up to this. Even a player like me who didn't play D1 can really appreciate how far everythings came, both story and gameplay wise. As of writing we have roughly 14 hours left until launch. The hype in the community is palpable. All of the players I've learned to call friends over this last year are waiting, ready. Its been a great year, and my only hope is that year 6 can carry this momentum. Best of luck to everyone tomorrow!
I feel likethe year of WQ is like a cracked diamond easily one of bungies best years, but also the year with the most cracks (not counting year 1 of D2) the themes and story direction are top notch 2 raids and 2 dungeons in 1 year? awesome light 3.0? great and then there's dungeons are no longer part of seasons and are now paid separately seasonal model stopped improving and people are really starting to notice no more secret missions or events
I still think they should try a game mode where we can equip exotics in every slot. That would be a cool crazy thing to try and you know people would love it

Thank you Datto for telling me how I feel
Destiny Fantano moment
Thank god wouldnt have known myself slugger
These comments are stupid. Been stupid for several videos.
Thank you for beating a dead horse until nothing remains
Finally we have an opinion about that year

It's been 10 years now, and he has mentioned the possibility of going into a new main game, but nothing concrete yet
I'm pretty interested on everything you mentioned. Personally, I'm probably gonna keep watching datto with whatever he's gonna do.
They've always been explicit that the game isn't ending with TFS
Didn't really get what datto said in the description... Does it mean that he will move on from D2 after lightfall?
@@David-cq9tc I think he's saying that he's considering diversifying?
The expansion itself, risen, and seraph were all highlights. This year, we had higher highs, and higher lows than most years. Honestly, thats makes for a pretty good year.

Now I don’t want to say “throw balance out the window to make a gamemode bonkers” but I feel like Gambit has a lot of potential to be fun if there were more unique gamemodes.
Team Scorched in Crucible for example is a very unique, yet pretty balanced gamemode because everyone is locked to a fun-to-use thirdperson rocket launcher.
I’ve had an idea for a while about a Gambit custom mode using vehicles, but I’ve thought about how I would go around doing it better.
I would call the mode, “Enemy Arms Gambit” where everyone is forced into using some form of thirdperson relic weapon like Scorch Cannons, Hive Swords, or the Vex Shield from VoG (let’s say just Scorch Cannons for now to keep it fair).
Banking motes still summons the same blockers, but if your team reaches an invasion threshold, your team gets one vehicle. The first threshold gets you a Heavy Pike, the second gives you an Interceptor, and the final one gives you a Drake.
The invasion portal’s size is also changed to allow you to invade with Vehicles, but that risks losing the Vehicle your team worked for if the invasion doesn’t succeed. That way there’s actually a gamble in Gambit if you need extra firepower to succeed.
This could be pretty cool, but I know there’s many ways to make it better.
That’s fucking awesome
the datto rebrand looking fresh

On of my favorite things in both Division games is the Dark Zone, Div 1 was my favorite iteration of it so I'll explain that one.
It was this huge section of the map that was an open world area, the deeper you went the harder it got, but the better the loot. There were areas that were like Lost Sectors with powerful enemies in them that had chests of powerful loot in them. There were also public event like things that happened in there too. The kicker is that any loot you got was Contaminated and had to be extracted before you could use it, to extract you had to go to one of several points on the map and call a helicopter which would stick around for a couple minuets before leaving with any loot players and then leave. The second kicker? It was a PvEvP area, players could "go rogue" and kill other players for the contaminated loot they've picked up in that run, and calling a Helicopter would alert any nearby players who could also steal the loot you've attached before it leaves.
I spent a lot of time in there, the risk and reward (while not having the risk of losing EVERYTHING like in games like Tarcov) and the tough pve elements made it very fun, even if I almost never went rogue.
I have no idea how they would pull something like this off in Destiny, especially considering the TTK is a lot higher in the Div games and mobility isnt as insane as it is in Destiny, but it would be cool to see.
Your summary was not dense; it was perfectly concise and to the point. Your choice of information matters
Two years later and this is still the best season in D2 history, this is the kind of story that makes seasons work because there were multiple different opponants to keep it interesting, it felt somewhat overwhelming and like we couldn't relax. We focus on Xivu Arath and Eramis nearly takes control of the satalite, we focus on Eramis and Clovis' plan gets revealed, we focus on Clovis and Xivu nearly lures us into her trap, we focus on Xivu and then Eramis takes over the warsats. It'a not just fighting the same enemy and doing the same thing week on week, the only other season that's done something similar was season of the Witch. Plus the stakes of such a long-term character dying in the end, and one that actually had an effect on the plot.
I just noticed in the ending cinematic for season of the seraph the scene with ikora and Zavala looking up at the traveler are surrounded by guardians wearing D1 armor sets which is cool but sad because I low key miss the more rugged look the armor we had back then compared to the non stop knight and smooth armor sets we have now
"Oops you tossed your cookies!" I understood that reference, Football head!
Forgot to mention giving all non raid armor mods for free during this season as well. Not super important for veteran, but this is huge for new players. It going work slightly different in lightfall (I think you need a certain light level?), allowing you to need a lot less time from being in the mid game to raid and master dungeon ready. Oh, and they made gms not need max power for you to be at the -25 cap. That slightly less important but still super nice.
The first 20 or so battlegrounds I was like cool I enjoy the level cap. After the honeymoon period I proceeded to speed run battlegrounds because I couldn't be bothered. It's amazing how much you can skip
Datto, please give us your critical thoughts on Diablo 4! I know I wouldn’t be the only one eager to hear your thoughts about that game coming out. I love your perspective because it helps open my eyes to what’s in front of me, Thank you for putting in the work for these videos script or no script, it’s appreciated.
I gotta say that background gm gameplay with jez and Danielle was actually crazy smooth, datto has turned them into proper gamers
The umbral focusing cost was way too high.
Also I love that the dungeon gives you a spark notes version of raid mechanics
you mean seraph's shield?
One quality of life update they could do is have random drops in trials. I've ran into, and been curb stomped by, multiple teams this weekend simply reseting at 3 wins to farm trials rank because that was the most effective method for getting. If there was any loot at the end of matches maybe people wouldn't have to reset cards to farm gear
We're at the turning point of Datto history.
I've been yelling on reddit about stuff like this for years but youtube will now feel my ideas too:
1) I want gambit to be the "silly/crazy/CHAOS" mode of the game. Drifter is a wacky yet mysterious character that walks the line of what we know and don't know. Let his game mode be wild. Give our grenades 200% damage boost but they're all we can use. Make bullets (rockets and grenade launchers included) ricochet of anything minimum 5 times before they impact and deal damage. Make our guardians have giant heads. Anything wacky or crazy. Put it in a gambit playlist. (while also keeping the normal gambit experience)
2) Gameplay innovations should include more brainwork. I get that there is a large portion of the player base that just wants "no thinky-think, only shooty shoot" but I think things like strikes and seasonal activities need more puzzles and interaction and mechanics where it's more than just "shoot, collect, carry, etc". Give us something that breaks the mold for a destiny mechanic, and put it in more than just raids.
3) Make champion mods broader. This is a relatively small one compared to the other two, but I want champ mods to affect more than just specific gun types. I still don't like GM's, only because I have to run specific weapons to *Play the activity* at all. Surges and such that we have and are getting are kind of annoying but I can live with that, not my cup of tea but I get where they're coming from. But champion mods take away any of the fun build crafting I do outside of the activity, unless the mods are for weapons that i'm already using, which is rare. make overload rounds only out of primaries, make anti barrier only on special, and make Unstoppable on power (just an example, don't hate if you disagree). Just make them easier to use in more builds.
Anyway LIGHTFALL WOO
Gambit ideas are great, total agree
Ayyyy Datto with the Hey Arnold aquarium security guard reference with cookies.
I think that one with the sea turtle is like one of the first episodes of that series
NEW LOGO?!?!
This was my best Destiny 2 year, I did WQ legend campaign and I quit until last tuesday.
I'm ready for the lightfall era!
It was pretty crazy this season having multiple antagonists that had their time in the spotlight, it kept on changing our focus.
If you made it to the end of the video: 18:45 "Butt, if Bungie has some weird stuff that they want to try, I say try it."
(misspelling was intentional) If you watch any of Jez's videos, you will get the joke...
Imagine later they give you the dog as another vehicle but you have to get it first. You can call it forward like strider or use strand to have it run you through an area. 🤯
I better get my damn dog back or it is John Wick time
For a split second I thought this was a re upload by someone else because idk if I've ever seen the datto logo change lmao good for you king it looks nice
Anyone else craving destiny content like an addict and just scrolling through it on RUclips as we wait for tomorrow morning to give us the wonderful access to lightfall we all crave?
Thank you for letting Arnold sneak by
With your new picture and video, you are really spoiling us Mr Datto
Yay! More Datto incoming!
It's insane to me that Datto and I have been playing this game for almost ten years. I remember watching his mythoclast raid exotic video in my freshman highschool classes. Now I'm watching this video as an adult working a 12hr shift lmao
These seasons were very interesting ones, and I have my feelings on them, but I always have the mindset of, let's wait and see how impactful this past year was on the next year.
What if bungie added a rougelike endless mode that you would start with white gear and no aspects / fragments and you work your way up? Idk how it would go but it’d be pretty spicy for out there ideas
that sounds like the stupidest thing ive ever heard
I realized the other day that the Warsats are basically big Sleeper Simulants.
I think it is the other way around
I got that reference, Datto. A fellow Hey, Arnold enjoyer.
So hyped for this video and tomorrow!
Every season of the last year has definitely felt like they’ve been experimenting and I’m really looking forward to the next year in destiny
Loving the new design for the logo!
Full Auto was a nice Quality of life change as well
Risen is probably my favorite of the 4 this year
Seraph definitely has much more stuff (Revision Zero and such) but Risen’s armor is just baller af, Guns are either Stronk or just powerful work horses, Battlegrounds was fun, VOID 3.0 and Volatile Flow making Purple a feeling.
Bungie could potentially move from locking things behind power to locking them behind Guardian Ranks, if they decided to take power out fully
Last paragraph paraphrased: Throw crap at the wall and see what sticks.
I'm all for it.
Thank you, Destiny Dattano
epic video datto!
Whoa, diggin’ the new logo/branding. Great video.
Sparrow Racing League as a core playlist please bungie, its not innovation but god damn I miss it coming just once a year
I would like to have more Datto sums up the story
Man I was so confused about the new profile pic and banner art lol
Hey Arnold reference was golden!
Can confirm the reveal in final shape, we learn that the Witness is Dattos disciple all along 😲
honestly i absolutely loved rasputin and his place in the Destiny universe, kinda felt it was super cheap to just kill him off like that, another case of "this character is the strongest character man has ever built" and somehow he has to sacrifice himself because a walking alien insect was able to hack him?
We kinda got a twofer, as this was also the end of Clovis Bray’s story as well
I guess indirectly that is also Bungie saying Mars is definitely not coming back
@@MichaelEilers Clovis is still there. The copy of his AI that was in the helm sent data back to the AI Clovis on Europa before Rasputin and Ana deleted him. I can't be sure if he sent his memories but he definitely sent a message saying "they know" to warn his Europa AI that we learned his ulterior motive of using Rasputin to destroy the Traveller and become a warmind/the sole protector of humanity. It's possible that he comes back as a more primary antagonist than how we've experienced him so far (he's been more of a deuteragonist whenever our focus was on Eramis) and forces us to make it a priority to get rid of him completely.
yea he could have easily made a copy of himself in an engram and then did the self destruct
New logo is mad clean
With the callback to the D1 key art, bringing the OG fireteam back into the spotlight and seemingly killing them off, I really hope this expansion doesn't flop.
Datto, loving the new brand logo. So fresh to see it and actually…..ITS GREEN. Datto made STRAND??
Its almost a cliché at this point but it really does feel like we're going into the "infinity war" of Destiny. It's all been building up to this. Even a player like me who didn't play D1 can really appreciate how far everythings came, both story and gameplay wise.
As of writing we have roughly 14 hours left until launch. The hype in the community is palpable. All of the players I've learned to call friends over this last year are waiting, ready.
Its been a great year, and my only hope is that year 6 can carry this momentum. Best of luck to everyone tomorrow!
I feel likethe year of WQ is like a cracked diamond
easily one of bungies best years, but also the year with the most cracks (not counting year 1 of D2)
the themes and story direction are top notch
2 raids and 2 dungeons in 1 year? awesome
light 3.0? great
and then there's
dungeons are no longer part of seasons and are now paid separately
seasonal model stopped improving and people are really starting to notice
no more secret missions or events
I still think they should try a game mode where we can equip exotics in every slot. That would be a cool crazy thing to try and you know people would love it
