I never saw any when I played the one time. No ammo, no Supers, mission totally sucked. The more I watch this the more I realize none of this ever happened in my play through. GIANT FAIL. I did uninstall after my play through and never intend to come back. I just wanted to see Datto’s reaction since I’ve played for 10 years.
Datto canonically experiencing the conclusion with Jez, his best friend, and Trv, his wife that his best friend introduced him to. The mission made me feel emotion but this is beautiful in its own special way too.
@@alecnardone3309 For me it’s the way he struggles to make eye contact at first, his eyes darting around. It’s so realistic for an emotional moment like that.
well your guardian's specifics are supposed to be up to you, if you wanted your guardian to have breaks on their ship between activities, then there's nothing to say they didn't
I got emotional finishing the story, I’ve lost two irl friends that I played Destiny and Destiny 2 with since it’s come out. They were brothers and ones gt was GameLegend21 and his brother was DestinyLegend21 LOL. When I finished Final Shape and Cayde-6 said “what comes from the light, must return to it” I just lost my shit 😂 I had tears streaming down my face with the biggest smile. This game isn’t about passing time or having something to do. It is art that brings out emotion and as a 22 year old I’ve finally realized. Art isn’t what you think looks cool or is fun, it’s what brings out emotion. Thank you all for being here for 10 years and thank you for being in this community.
@Alex-xi4bg even though I wasn't there for the beginning, I still have an emotional connection to this game and definitely teared up during those final moments. It was a great finale and and excellent conclusion to a story I've become so invested in. There are a few of us newer lights that have an attachment as well!
It's probably why I didn't really feel much. Fun mission, but I've only been here since forsaken, and the story was never the reason I stuck around. While everyone's been all weepy and emotional I'm just like OK so... when we queuing up for the next looted SE clear?
@@ChuuniKaede If you've never played D1 I doubt Cayde would mean that much, but he was our absolute best bud in D1. I'm not trying to be a gatekeeper, but that scene really was for the people that have been here since the beginning, especially given the vanilla D1 music.
@@fysy9989 yup yup, i love his videos and he's funny as fuck but in moments like this, people need to stfu and stop trying to be the star during the huge cinematic parts. Also was so glad to do this with randoms, it felt like a good closing mission to be reminded that its not just me and my team, its everyone.
@@mdamonctrue, wonder if that makes whoever did the very first completion of the new raid the canonical fire team that broke in and weakened the witness. Great cinematic moment though and I'm glad I could spend it with Scur-V.
Destiny has never really made me feel any emotion due to its story. This mission and cutscene were so well executed. When they brought back the d1 music, I actually teared up. I think this was the perfect end point after 10 whole years.
I'm not embarassed to admit that I was crying from basically the start of the excision mission, to like 40 minutes after the final cutscene, I was a wreck, and I don't regret any of it, what a journey it has been,
I'm right there with you, it was really emotional! I had already stayed up all night watching the raid race so when Excision finally dropped I was exhausted but so hyped that I forgot to get my recording stuff ready and I really regret it because I had no idea the roller coaster of emotion I was about to go on. The 12 man glitch was already one of my favorite moments in Destiny so to see it become a mission had my hyped, didn't realize we were going after the Witness until the first cutscene. I was an absolute wreck when ghost died even though I had a real strong feeling Ghost was going to somehow die at some point. I audibly shouted "No!" at my computer, ended up saying "bring him back" right before my Guardian did. Hearing Cayde "You tell the others this was my choice. My light." absolutely destroyed me, and that proud smile drove the nail right in my chest. I don't think I've ever cried this hard over anything, definitely not a videogame. I've been with Destiny for 10 years, and I really don't think there's a single thing I'd change about how this story went. Easily the best DLC Bungie has done.
Listen, I know we're all irony and cynicism-pilled here as mostly millenial-aged consumers of media, but I'm glad that I'm not at the level of Jez and allow myself to enjoy and feel things.
I personally don’t think a guy (Jez) who has dialogue and music turned off most of the time gets the privilege of having an opinion on how Good/Bad story content is.
agreed, but that's why we can just ignore it. it's kinda funny that datto and danielle asked him what he thought despite knowing he wouldn't understand any of it though
Seeing Datto getting emotional gives me absolutely no shame in admitting I cried like a baby. This game has helped me through years of illness, met friends along the way. I won't forget!!
It was truly a ride guardians. Been here since the beginning, countless memories and friends made over the years. My two best friends who I started hanging out with because of destiny are still my fireteam today. Here’s to 10 years of greatness and to hopefully more to come! 🎉 Also I really hope they add the ending cutscenes to the narrative version you can replay. Right now it only shows the opening cutscene.
I completed this mission narratively with my 3 characters and did the GM on my warlock. I cried every single time. Kudos to bungie, they did a fantastic job with Excision for both the grandmaster and the narrative
Damn. Started playing destiny and watching datto in the vanilla days of destiny. I was in elementary school and now I’m studying for the MCAT. Thank you datto. What a journey.
I teared up too. It's kinda hard not to if you've been playing for years. Especially if you started with D1 this is the end of an era, and an epic story we got to be a part of. That final cutscene of the Guardian with the vanguard hit so hard too. What a journey folks
As a conclusion to now over a decade of Destiny storytelling, the ending hit me in the feels, too. I was barely able to keep from crying myself. I'm confident that if I hadn't played it solo, and instead had my homies in a fireteam and saw them sitting next to me at the end screen, I would have been crying as well. I haven't tested it yet, but I do hope we can replay the mission to get back to that "Sitting Down" screen. I'm only 27, so this marks off close to half my life leaving and coming back to Destiny. Thanks for being there, Datto.
I cried when I did the activity 10 years of my life have finally come to a close I actually almost feel like a new person Ik I’m not but idk if I’d be alive without destiny and met my best friend ever through it I’m so happy to have been apart of this moment in time with you all
I was so drunk when I did this, that the next day I had to text my friend “hey want to reschedule us playing the final mission? sorry i went to bed” i had literally no recollection lmao
That intro cutscene was fan service and hype. "Get me EVERYONE." When Big Z slams into that front line, LFG. We got a wannabe God to kill. If you didn't cry or tear up at least once during this finale, You're a cold hearted person. Cayde being my Ghost is perfect. It's about right. I've not played it since. And if I don't play D2 again, I'll be very happy. It has ended in the right way for me.
Jez decided to leave his PvP rotted brain in his ship when he dropped in to the mission apprantely. "Are we supposed to kill anything or...?" LMFAO brother I feel sorry for this fireteam ☠️😆😆
how can Jez play this game for this long and not pay attention to literally anything happening on screen or anything It's like the dude plays with his monitor off and his sound all muted other than discord
"Ah guardian there you are..." broke me down when I hugged my ghost. They really wrapped this story up so nicely while still giving us some open ends for new futures.
I miss my Dad he already pass away he saw me playing Destiny since vanila time and now he is not here anymore he did not see the finale - The Final Shape
Datto experiencing emotion for the first time was the closest thing IRL to the Grinch (2000), “MAX! I’mmmm feelingggggggg!” Seriously though, thank you for being a guiding force in the community, Datto. I personally would never have reached the heights I have in this game without your insight, guides, etc. Wherever this next chapter of life takes you, I hope & pray you and Trv find peace, prosperity, and happiness. Cheers!
A lot of people make silly, badly-timed jokes and ruin the mood as a cover for feeling serious emotions. Jez, on the other hand, is just that shallow and oblivious.
I joined Destiny when it came to PC and I have been kicking myself that I didn’t just get a damned console and play D1. I have too many hours for a 63 year old and tbh, this game has helped me through some tough times. I still choke up a little in that final seen with Cayde. Nice to see others get some of those same feels. Thanks Bungie and Thanks Datto. See ya in the tower.
Man what a journey we lost soo many good people on that journey some real some fictional im truly blessed to have had the opportunity to have played the first game and getting to continue it in the sequel so many friends enemies and memories were made through the many years of destiny thank you Bungo for the experience of a lifetime and all the countless laughs tears and emotions we all felt throughout you really just had to be there to know either way im rambling love ya Datto and here's to the future 😭
Bro.... After 10+ years with this franchise and knowing that the first character we ever heard in it was Ghost.... That, "Guardian.... There you are..." hits so damned hard. With the Voice direction behind it(phenomenally done for this entire expansion) I imagine Ghost on the other side frantically looking for us, but not being able to find us, to then be pulled back and see our face and be relieved. So damn good.
37:20 with the "start with many people, then be alone/with fireteam only" thing. Didn't that happen in the Red War, on the last mission? Wasn't the first part of the final mission like a "patrol zone" version of the Last City, then you go off on your own to find the Vanguard and put a bullet in Gary's head?
@Datto been there with you since Destiny when it first came out. Met you at GuardianCon. I feel the same emotion you do man! We are all one with the Light!
not gonna lie, I'm not a very emotional person, but i was emotional at the end of this, it was 10 years of effort leading up to this, my character, our allies over the years, were part of my life, for 10 years, doesn't matter if its a game or irl, it still hits the feels.
After 10 yrs playing the game, I was also super emotional… this game is literally part of my life for ever. The only thing I’m sad about is that they didn’t bring back Amanda, I was hoping the traveler to bring her back as guardian… who knows, Bungie can still do it.
Of all the things in the game that Shaxx and co. could give us, they give us a scorch cannon... where the hell are the drake tanks, we're fighting the witness!
Bungie at their best. Zavala's speech is right up there with "Independence Day" and "Cancelling the Apocalypse". Bungie is really good at making these "Let's Do This Thing!" moments in their games.
How did a whole fireteam, all of whom have gone through plenty of raids, miss rally banners, ammo crates, and pretty clear ON-SCREEN instructions on what to do with the gathered light....
When I watched this cutscene for the first time the eliksni kid at 28:31 was sliding and in a t pose It didn’t ruin the moment for me but it was really funny
@@waverider4524the gameplay has always been top tier. Me and my friends played it for that reason. The story didn't matter cause I enjoyed the moment to moment action with my friends. The story being good just makes it that much better.
I'm glad you didn't make yourself comment on the cutscenes. Content creator or no, you deserve to enjoy that moment as much as any gamer. (Also the Empress learning how to knit is the best thing in the history of best things.)
