Destiny 2: The Light and Darkness Saga - Destiny Calls 

That's what I'm saying since I started this game since January.

Good explanation of basic lore, the game would make more sense if I saw this when I started.

Legitttt

I would agree but it spoils rhulk and the witness for them so idk

IT IS LOOK AT THE DESCRIPTION, IT'S PART OF THE NEW LIGHT EXPERIENCE

It'll probably be added for lightfall as the replacement for the ghost revival and Mars cutscene from d1.

It is the intro. Make a new character and see

Yeah, they need something better than "look, contrats kill things*

Oh it's in the game all right for new players, a friend of mine just joined this game and that's pretty much the first thing he seen

(Skips)

They have that for new light lol

@@bignutty5180 Not to this extent. The new light cutscene is litterally the d1 intro with the speaker basically saying "we had a golden age, darkness ruined it, traveler died, you're here now, go shoot some aliens"

@@rorulalonde6849 *Go commit mass genocide against aliens for fat loots FTFY

At this point it's not just an Indian cut scene they need it's a whole freaking library.

Best art direction for these kind of cutscene are truly fantastic. Reminds of the sketch on parchment paper end credits seen in LOTR/Hobbit, big sucker for that art style.

Also the glitchy title drop reflects the game, natch. Lol. Seriously though-this trailer's fantastic and kinda hype.

Yes such a nice aesthetic

What are the blurry shapes after the title disappearance at the end?

Lmao

LITERALLY

@@TimothyMark7 SSHH! Don’t let them know.

Dude, the other armor is either white or green. That exotic is being used because it's the only thing with STATS.

I came looking for this comment.

Sigma Titan Grindset rule# 657: *Never Let 'em know your next move.*

Even better. Give us the opportunity to play everything again starting in vanilla Destiny. They could give you the option to only have the most current content downloaded or have destinations and missions from whatever period you chose from.

Honestly tho, they can even use the timeline section we already have in the game that doesn’t really have much of a purpose

@@niri2506 Nope that's going to take a while until Final Shape

Mission selector for red war campaign, Osiris and Warmind and Forsaken. Just the missions so we can replay and get some old rewards or armors that we missed.

Destiny's lore? AMAZING! Destiny's in game story, absolutely dreadful. Why they have always been so inept at properly placing story into the game I'll never know.

@@cthomas025 bro's been living under a rock 🤣

@sanity I came back for The Witch Queen, didn't feel like the delivery of the lore to the player via the in-game story has gotten any better. And it's objectively abysmal for new players. Even if I agreed with you, one year finally after seven years of garbage is not anything to aspire to. They are even aware of what a meme their poor scripts and stories are and put that in game with No Time to Explain.

@sanity"lol how about you read the lore?!?!" How about your read my initial comment that you responded to? "Destiny's lore? AMAZING! Destiny's in game story, absolutely dreadful." I was reading the grimoire cards back in D1, I'm fully aware of the lore being great. That's literally what I opened my comment with. The lore and the story that the player is presented with is not the same thing. Also you are not aware of any of my playing habits, where I was before stopping playing daily and coming back for The Witch Queen.

@@cthomas025 the seasonal stories have been bangers, dude. And the lore books are CURRENT events.

Not sure about sending a player into the Red War campaign like that. Granted, yes, a new player needs things to do to get their power up and a campaign will help with that but its context would need to be altered slightly. I liked it when the Red War campaign, and the year 1 campaigns, were stories being told by Amanda Holliday.

@@Techhunter_Talon I 100% agree, I think all it would really need is a change in dialogue while adding dialogue to Shaw Han’s quest to give context and background to the last city

This would be a perfect way to introduce new people.

Step 4: shove a huge eververse ad into their face at any opportunity.

^This guy gets it

Lore for dummies

Perfect summary.

Oh also knockoff flood

💯spot on

Indeed.

(Skips)

me: (casually watches this cutscene)

(Skips)

@@I.Am.Shadow4o0 no on asked. Especially not twice.

3:00 is What We Fight For

3:09 - Guardian (arguably the most recurring leitmotif in the entirety of Destiny) 3:21 - No trackname for this but you can hear the "wail" motif that has been associated with the Exo's ever since Beyond Light dropped. You hear this in Frigid Tomb, Athanasia and a full blown version of it in Security Breach.

when i heard what we fight for during the showcase i was so happy

@@cr0wnest true that it's the guardian leitmotif but it's also part of what we fight for here

God yes please. The new player experience really needs to be the free to play story line. Give them a few story lines to follow until it works into the main story. They could expanded on the Navotta storyline as the main free to pay quest line.

@@digizilla164 this wasnt a problem until they gutted 70% of the game.

YEP, to bring new lights to the game we need to do like a priest of AGE OF EMPIRES to make them play the game and understand it. A lot of friends stop laying because the SHIT new light camping. All of people think destiny 2 is only that. just few of them continued playing because i have to keep talking "If u buy expansions destinys transforms in a another game"

New light: i don’t know what’s going on I don’t know whatever the hell the traveler is all I know is i must punch everything i come across until i find a gun

@@trustypatches4042 the game is going down and will probably be dead with the next expansion but all of these fan boys are blind

Man, I'm in a burnout phase of D2 but I started to tear up as well. Seeing the rise of Guardians against threats of Humanity, with that great soundtrack... Chills. Every. Goddamn. Time.

@@PLBiohazard same here man. fingers crossed this new season will bring us some excitement, this was a fantastic teaser and reminder of the history of Destiny.

@@PLBiohazard me too, barely touched this season but man, it was hard not to cry

Same :')

Gay

All good things must come to an end. That is what makes them beautiful in the first place.

@@lolagagginw812lol7 damn rip my cat i just got.

Being saved by a video game? Lol!

@@MumboJumboZXC yeah, absolutely. Whatever pulls people out of a dark time is absolutely fine and video games 100% can do that.

@@MumboJumboZXC Is there somthing wrong with that?

Im a big lore buff myself. I wouldnt quite say it is up there with Star Wars or Lord of the Rings. It might be close, but not quite yet. It has the "magic", the incredibly special and intriguing setting where they blend a multitude of genres together seamlessly, Fantasy, Sci-fi, even Westerns. The universe that fosters imagination and wonder. It has some incredibly memorable and special locations and music. It even has some of the best backstory in fiction, with epic tales, like Books of Sorrow and Marasenna. But it still needs a bit more. That crucial gameplay/campaign element, where it truly comes together for all to see. Not just relegated to some people who enjoy spending their time reading about everything. Or people who listen to someone read them the story. Star Wars was incredible, without reading the many dozens of books, or playing the many games like I did. Lord of the Rings, similarly without having the read the Silmarillion. It is getting closer. Witch Queen was a fantastic step. Seasons get better and better. Long gone are the days of "That wizard came from the moon" and "I dont have time to explain why I dont have time to explain". What will determine whether it can sit with those grand tales, will be how it manages to end this great saga of Light vs Dark. And for the common person, what kind of story is told by the extended universe projects.(like if Destiny can pull off its version of Arcane, or something beloved like that...)

Destiny definitely needs to diversify their media in order to be compared to big lore giants. Destiny books and movies. Like they did with halo.

Games pretty good now I’d say

@@TimothyMark7 fuck being able to customize hair n shit, i need my Karen titan to have the big booba slider

You definitely should. New season drops today, as well as the last update to the light subclasses which are free to all players.

I'd say let it play when you talk to someone. Dumping exposition like this on people right out of the gate isn't exactly a warm welcome. Having this cutscene be essentially a character telling you the story would be a more organic way to do it, though who they'd get to actually do it I couldn't say (if only Ikora were narrating).

Make it like overwatch’s cutscene that plays every time you boot up the game, but you can skip it

@@nomad-8260 It should only play out and be unskiplable for new players with their first guardian created so they can have a grasp of what the game is about. Then when creating their second and third character it should be skippable.

Same, I really missed this game, so back to grinding

Exact same thing happened to me

@@Mirdax the Grind is the reason why i hate and love the game at the Same moment

Haha same! Soloing the witch queen campaign, hope LFG system come quick

honestly I want to come back to was a Y1 player

Hopefully the fact they they’re working on the engine and not vaulting content anymore means a simplified version of the red war campaign can come back for new lights. That would be incredible. Start in the cosmodrome and then to the red war, all the way up to light fall. That would truly be a masterpiece of modern gaming.

@@forrestrichard8133 It would be great if after The Final Shape they could revamp the pre-Witch Queen campaigns and streamline them into Witch Queen-like campaigns so we can experience Destiny 2 from start to finish in a well-made cinematic format. Not sure what to do about seasonal story content though, since much of it is relevant, but would massively bloat the game with too many things if they decided to add it all. Maybe cinematics that introduce the new characters or happenings whenever they show up to new (or any) players?

Specially for new players who don't know anything about the game.

@Soinas Doyi Although the beginning of the story (which refers to the Traveler arriving in our solar system) should be a little more explained so new players have a total grasp of what happened in the past that led to what the hell is going on currently.

Flashbacks..

:D

Hunter main here let's gooooo!

It'll probably replace that and the ghost revival scene.

yes

Ayo it's u

Just try to say that about any other form of media that, at it's core, focuses solely on guns and shooting at aliens. Destiny laughs in the face of Call of Duty like a king at his jester. But even a court jester knows his place and the law of the land. In that equation Destiny is more like their God.

Since we don't know what the Witness is because it seems to be a multitude of people across realities, the grammatically correct term is "they/them" (For non English speakers like myself, it takes time to make sense of using "they/them" like this)
