hey paragon can you do the comments a favor and smoke the dude that’s being an asshat towards the guy who served in Afghanistan in the comments. He’s being a real disgrace for someone’s service and it’s real shitty to see their disregard towards service and life
@@voltrixgames4375 😂😂😂 Oh my god you are mad af at my truthful comments. Snowflake af. Why exactly is the truth so hard for you to handle? If you cared about human life and the well being of all people, you would be by my side disavowing the people to deploy into the US military. Also, Paragon isn’t going to read your comment man, he doesn’t care (I figured this was obvious but you don’t seem to realize that)
@@voltrixgames4375 LOLLLL, so instead of engaging with my arguments at all you just beg the uploader to take down my comments 😂😂😂😂 how immature could you possibly be?
Ture story I was in Afghanistan the year prior to this launch and one thing that kept the boys going was getting home in the summertime, partying, then playing destiny 6 weeks after we got home in the barracks as much as possible. What a vibe.
@@mrsickukxx1332 I remember being somewhat scared at times with the dark rooms and the respawn restricted zones. It was probably mostly because I was like 11 at the time but D1 felt like a horror game at times where d2 hasn't really had that same feeling of dread outside the start of the red war.
@@LumiNexusthe closest I came to that feeling was when we first met the Scorn in Forsaken. Then the dreaming city took us back to that D2 polished aesthetic look.
I've always adored the art style of D1 way more than D2. D1 is more apocalyptic and grounded, while D2 feels like another superhero game. My ideal world would have a more long-term version of D1 made with the quality of life changes of D2. At the very least one day I'd like an upgrade to D1, stuff like a higher resolution and an FOV slider
@@trashcompactorYT Objectively wrong. Opinion discarded. Look at the difference in views and interaction with music of the spheres and modern Destiny music. The supposed "apex" of this franchise's music doesn't even come close to the modern age of it's music. Stronger, Together as a theme is literal proof of how wrong you are, and it includes pieces of Music of the Spheres.
@@DioStandProud whatever you say. Go enjoy your happy friendship music and I’ll enjoy the music that sounds like it belongs in a series from a developer with this much of a legacy
Kinda agree ngl. Destiny 2 tfs was godly but there's a certain feeling to the old orbit music, walking on Venus, ect. The new campaigns where sometimes better but there's just so many missions you can do, i still replay the taken king all the time. It sucks it's hard to raid in 2024
I appreciate the short life destiny 1 had, especially after all the dead periods and rough seasonal cycles of destiny 2. At least d1 ended on a good note 😌
I booted up Destiny on the PS3 a couple months ago. It was absolutely empty. It was fun looking at all my old stuff. This makes me feel quite nostalgic for this game. Years of good times with friends on there. That game is why I have 2 TVs set up in my living room. Something I still have now but Destiny started it.
@@ChuckTownRC51 I know they separated the servers so progress on either system didn't progress on the other. I was not aware they dropped the PS3 entirely at some point. Thanks for letting me know.
I started D1 in 2015 I loved it and I don’t play anything else . I had a stroke in 2021 lost of my speech and coordination and was very depressed . I can honestly say along with family and friends that helped me , a big part was playing destiny 2 and getting my coordination back . This game will always be special to me. Snd the community. Godbless yall guardians ! Edit: they should bring back the d1 tower back once a year or something
By the first sound of the opening menu, I am immediately transported back to the most potent, nostalgic, emotional time of my life. Literally nothing in this world is as emotional and impactful as the sound of those first trumpets. A well of emotion just surges the second I am reminded of all of the great times I had exploring the world of Destiny with my friends, and how many times this game served as an escape from my ruined childhood. I need to play through this game again now!
Started playing when I was 12. Middle school. 22 now. Finished out the final shape. Been there, through the highs and the lows. This game means a lot to me, both of them 🙂↕️💯
Man i feel you im 19 now, started playing when i was 9 years old and this game has had a massive impact on my life, unfortunately I haven’t been able to get back into destiny 2 after the lightfall expansion it lowkey felt kinda repetitive and boring, souls like games are newish to me and ive been really enjoying them, ive beat Elden ring, sekiro, and black myth wukong with platinum trophy
D1 player since day 1 and I have to say, this is a great overview man. So many forgotten memories you've brought back to me; there's a lot I miss about D1. It was the first game I played that had such an incredible social value to it. Raids with friends, grinding for mats and rank. RNG was such a monster (and we all complained) but when the drop you'd been grinding for finally came it was actually exciting, even your raid buddies would freak out. I remember LFG'ing in to the Atheon cp for VoG, spawning in as they got the kill, and the Mythoclast dropped for me alone. Despite that, everyone was cheering and celebrating. And sparrow racing! Such a shame they never brought SRL back. I sure do miss Dinkle-bot too. I think they closed The Final Shape out nicely, but with the exception of nightmarish quest-specific drops like Khvostov 7G-0X, everything throughout D2 has been so easy to get and nothing has ever felt special. Don't get me wrong, I love D2, but D1 was just it man.
I was 33 when I started to play Destiny now 43 still going strong the game is special & my favourite 4 sure no matter what ppl say complain on a daily basis there is no perfect game they all have their flaws..
It's sad that so many people just want to complain about the game when it really is so special compared to most other games I've played. Probably my biggest gaming regret is not playing D1 more. I was big into Halo and was so excited for Destiny. When it launched I was playing with a buddy and he took me to the loot cave and wanted to stay there for hours. He told me that was how you got the loot so I got bored and probably only played a few times after that because I didn't understand how the game worked. When D2 went free to play I decided to give it a try and have put in 3,500 hours since. Lol. I'm so mad at myself for being an idiot and not giving D1 a real try. I'm 33 now so it makes me sad thinking about all of the fun I could've had in D1 at a younger age.
I passed on Ghorn with Xur on week two of the game. Took me 650 hours of playing to earn Ghorn, which finally dropped from Omnigul on a Nightfall. Raid teams wouldn’t take people who didn’t have Ghorn back then. I remember being a “forever 29” level player because VoG would not drop level 30 boots. Lots of memories dating back to Beta D1 when we could only reach level 8 and do the Devil’s Lair strike.
Bro try having missed it from Xur to have to wait all the way till the end for him to resell GHorn. Literally did hundred or two raids, so many engrams, never landed the GHorn
I pre-ordered D1 and played the beta version before release. Such good memories. Exotic drops were so special-my first being Ice Breaker. Dinklebot moon memes still make me smile.
Enhanced and better graphics does NOT equal less cartoony. Just look at the witness. D2 has a more marvel/superhero aesthetic with flashy, over the top designs EVERYWHERE. In d1, flashy designs stood out because they were rare and from specific sources. In D2 everything glows, the witness is built like megamind, and the intro custscene for excision is a literal marvel “every super guy is here omg!!!!!!!”
@epicfortnitekid8536 yeah? After ten years of build up of course everyone was going to be there? What kind of point are you making there lol. Also, The Witness's post campaign design is insane. If you're still using the cartoony complaint post excision that's you being ignorant to the art.
@@epicfortnitekid8536 L take.. D1 and d2 looks the same basically lol, just d2 has somewhat crisper graphics. And with the shiny stuff, d1 had more of it and a lot more over the top armor. Literally one of the complaints d2 gets for not having it like destiny 1. And I'm talking graphics wise, idk why you brought up story into this or why you're getting triggered haha.
Man i started same time as you and then when D2 came out i had taken a huge break due to college and didnt pick it back up til recently its a huge learning curve with prismatic stuff
How definitely just hit me hard with this nostalgia. Crazy memories. For some reason my best summer ever wasnt a vacation or hanging with raids but was grinding this game for the gjallahorn and hawkmoon while making new friends online. Still have friends from yr 1 on social media and we all in college or graduating. This would make for a cool series where u play it up to the anniversary.
I too started playing destiny at 13 and I am now 23, it was the only reason my family got wifi, and from that point on my life was never the same, I met a lot of people on destiny from all over the world and 13 year old me could not wrap he’s head around it. I love destiny 1 especially the early when it came out. so many good memories and friends I’ve made with this game and I’ll always cherish my time I had with it.
My favorite tower design was the Christmas festival - the last sparrow racing league in 2016 was truly a special time in destiny I made so many friends, they made the trials map the moon map that allows you to pull out your sparrow. RIP
I remember when I found this game, I didnt have any money so I was constantly playing the free trial for hours until one day i begged my mom and she told me "dont tell your dad but if this makes you happy ill do it". Ive probably put thousands of hours into this game.
Thanks for that video! It's so nice to realize that so many others feel the same about Destiny. I was 30 when it launched and even though we had a fragmented story and difficult rank systems the game got me hooked. The atmosphere, the gritty looks (almost everybody says this!), the unique soundtrack that underlined the mysteries we faced and the imaginations of the darkness that once brought the collapse... Oh my God, the nostalgia always hits me hard! Destiny 2 never managed to transfer that feeling... But nonethelese I still play D2. I recently replayed D1's whole campaigns. It was awesome. A friend and I even finally rang the bells in the Iron Temple for the last trophy. PSN Profiles now says: completed in 10 yrs 3 weeks 😄 I wish Bungie would bring back all of the missing stuff or even better: there was an update for better performance and all the control and FoV settings we have in D2. Of course this is not gonna happen. Again thanks for that video, it's good to see we all look back to those glorious days. Back then we had no idea how much we would miss them!
They did that because back in the day you could decrypt a. exotic engram and get a blue but you couldn’t get a exotic from a blue they then kinda switched them around where exotics would always give you an exotic and legendary and blue engrams could give you a change for an exotic or a tier above their rarity like getting a legendary from a blue
The thing I love about Destiny 1 is that to this day it still has every dlc and the entirety of it's campaign intact and playable. You can't say the same about Destiny 2
I was born in 99. I'm right there with you bro. Unfortunately I was only able to play destiny 1 for about 2 years. And Destiny 2 for a little over 1 year. But even with that little time. I've put nearly 1800 hours into the Destiny franchise. I will never forget the times I've had in Destiny. If anyone cares, my most recent video is a throwback to my memories in Destiny 1 and 2.
There's an unmatched ambience to D1, particularly in orbit. D2 has this huge catalogue of music but a lot of it doesn't seem to have been considered for its impact on those floating in space (it probably has, but it serves a different purpose). D1 is aspirational, light, ethereal - D2 is dark, foreboding, but inconsistent as it samples from 6+ worth of expansions seemingly at random. Even the graphical changes of D1, with what seemed like bigger sprites, sells a different experience.
started this game when I was 7 now I’m 17. Good times, I will never regret the thousands of hours I spent making good memories on that game. It’s crazy that this franchise has been on my mind for 10 whole years like I literally grew up with it, even if I’m 2017-2019 I didn’t rly play it, it was still in the back of my mind
Things i miss from destiny 1. The first Ghost voice of Peter Dinklage 2. The Speaker. 3.To me the Destiny beta was magical. 4. Ice breaker 5.The first ghallahorn 6. Prision of elders sounds and game play
I was 13 when I started playing destiny just sitting in all day everyday on the weekends and school holidays to play this game, I’m now 23 with my own child and house life is crazy
sometimes i miss destiny 1 how fun it was some simple things being unique and others being hard to find and do like an actual rpg everything feels so amped up and watered down at the same time in d2
I played both Destiny 1 at launch and don’t feel nostalgia for it, but I’m glad there are people like you who are passionate. Reminds me how I feel about Halo.
It was easier to keep your vault clean in D1 even with 1/7 of space. There's just so many variations in D2 with weapons and armor. Most times it's not even that you want to keep it, you are just afraid to get rid of it! In D1 you knew what was worthy of keeping.
@@ChuckTownRC51 I felt like every item had its purposes, I deleted basically everything knew I wasnt going to use, oh to be 15 and not care about predicting metas again
Also something I noticed no one talks about is how clean and organized the collections/menu pages are, now it’s a bunch of reissues, like 7 different hung jury’s, guns you can’t get anymore, really wish bungie would clean up the UI or menu items page or collections page
Im kind of partial on the health bar argument, honestly for bosses that are phased (immunity gated specifically) i believe the bar being at the bottom is VERY useful and nice. For bosses with timed health phases and a lower health pool however, i think the bar above the head is perfect. I kind of feel like they should be classed as different ranks of bosses so that they can both exist simultaneously.
destiny day 1 player here. & i can relate. been playing destiny since the first one came out. & it's crazy how it's been 10 years. it was a hell of a run. 💪
God I miss when gear was unique and required you to actually have skill to get. I think for me destiny 2 just killed the skill aspect and they made gear not special and less meaningful. I may sound like a typical vet. But just make destiny simple and good
I was like, huh the FOV doesn't seem that bad. Then you went into the crucible, and I was like, oh right tower is in third person view, yeah this seems right, it was like playing with horse blinders
Meanwhile that item will be deleted when servers turn off because that’s what live services are. Man. Y’all crazy. I’m sticking with games that respect my time. Then again slot machine gamblers are gonna be stuck pulling that silly lever and gambling. Good luck.
@@EchoDoctrineidk what you're talking about, but Bungie loooong since said at some point they're unplugging D1 servers. This bs won't exist past 2027 mark my words. I'm sick of you ungrateful D1 glazers.
@@DioStandProud guy in video was saying he wants really really rare items like D1 had and a super long Grindy grind to get them. That’s what I was laughing at.
Chaos Dogma is such a cool looking weapon as well as a very iconic one from Wrath of the Machine... If Bungie brought it back with all of the old returning weapons I would never take it off
I begged my parents to buy me a console just so I could play this game, I put it down for a while and came back to D2 two years ago, really an incredible thing they've made here. I hope wherever the next game goes that it captures some more of that magic and mystery that D1 had - I know they can do it.
I remember destroying every iron banner I believe the exotic fusion was plan c. I started d1 about 2 months after it launched and I’ll never forget it because I started that game 3 months before my daughter was born and I’m playing d2 to this day and it’s one of those very few games I’ll never forget. The other games that I’ll never forget is StarCraft brood war which was the first online game I played and I played it all through middle school on dial up
I was never a FPS guy even during the times Halo and Call of Duty was all the craze, everything changed when I got my ps4 that came with Destiny1, linked up playing PVE with coworkers that gave me more insights on how the game works, later advance to PVP with my Titan, and Sur always gets me hyped for some dope items. It was the best experience ever. Hrs of gaming, then life happened. Fast forward later I recently got back into Destiny, and bought D2.. I’m so fuckin lost now lol
Started playing when I was justwas 12. Would get up early on the weekdays while my dad was working 3rd just to play this game. I still have a picture of all my classes from 2014. It holds so much weight. Unfortunately the week xur had sold gjallorhorn for the second time, I was off by a few strange coins. Then my dad got home early and I was in trouble and got grounded for being up early so I missed it. Sucked hard for life. I was always behind after house of wolves because I didn’t have money for it. Finally I got some and bought rise if iron and taken king. Same feeling as 2015 battlefront man. It was just a magical time for me as a gamer. Since 2015-2016 gaming just hasn’t been the same and quite often feels like a burden on my life. I like to do it still, but it just doesn’t feel as meaningful or magical if that makes sense
I too still get called back to D1 semi-regularly. Lots of new light freinds of friends from gen 3 are still coming in, and gen 4. The Dragonsbreath tiger reskin is pretty cool.
I made the impulse decision to buy destiny 1 last night and I was so pleasantly surprised to find a full tower of people. So excited to experience this game again :)
Replayed the whole thing last week. From vanilla to RoI. And all ive got to say is. Im so grateful for D2. Its so much better than the original in every conceivable way.
This the 4th video Ive watched that is about remembering D1. Wonder whats compelling some to make these videos. Not that theres anything wrong with it. I still play D1. I still have all Iron Banner, Trials and SRL bounties unclaimed. Good times.
My wife asked me if I could experience any game for the first time again. I instantly said Destiny, no other game has ever given me so much joy. Was 13 when it came out and first legendary engram I got a heavy weapon and it was ghorn, didnt even know what it was and was mad I got a rocket launcher😂 how stupid i was lmfao
Looking at someone's gear and weapons had so much bragging rights and unique styles that just made you feel not like anyone else. So much I miss this. D2 is too much for me personally
Scrolled through the comments a bit to not see anyone commenting on his mistake on that main theme. These are NOT trumpets but french horns. Can't have a ghorn without horns am i right?
