@Katsunagi year 1 destiny. when having a full set of legendaries and exotics meant something. i grinded sooo hard for it all and then year 2 hit and everybody was given high tier gear like candy
@Katsunagi youtubers were crying because it was to hard to get good gear. so they made legendaries and exotics more common than common gear. lol. i do agree the engrams were broke asf but they could have just decreased the amount of legendaries but they were guaranteed. i remember i had a full legendary titan. exotic helm of light and thorn in the first 2 months or so and when i did matchmaking in strikes people wanted o play with me all day because i was king of a god lol. i miss that
Commander Wyro man I’m with you on that one bro, my first exotic was the Thunderlord when I did the archon priest strike mission then got the red death from doing the loot cave exploit aha
This song brings back so much tower memories from the little I got to play. Sometimes, I reach the tower and there's not a single player around. My hunter sits down at the edge of beam next to the cargo unloader. It's almost Dawn and views from the tower are spectacular with city lights below. Then the song plays and suddenly there's a sense of profound tranquility.
Just about 10 years now. so many good memories of coming home from school my freshman year of high school in 2014, popping in the disc and just getting lost in the world solo. I miss those times deeply
This song in d2 really had me sitting for a while thinking about my journey. I started during season of the lost. A time where everyone had their doubts about Bungie and too which rightfully so. But then witch queen flipped the tables. We entered a golden age of story telling. I even bought D1 and played through its story because I enjoyed this game so much. I'm happy I got to experience this game with so many others. Thank you Bungie
3:20 I remember just chilling in the tower with my fire team having late night talks, all my Destiny memories are kinda flashing before my eyes, I love Destiny 2 but it’s just doesn’t give me the same feeling as D1
@@largespaget I think, indeed. The soundtrack is also a bit different. It was made for nostalgia, while the newer one is mostly made for in-the moment action. Both great.
Through its good times and bad times, Destiny has been one of the only video games I’ve truly loved. It brings me zero shame to say that I grew up with Destiny and that I’ll be here until the servers shut down. Happy 10th Anniversary Guardians.
The server shut down ? really ? fuck... our guardian... all of our guardian... part of everyone.. die... not die but... sleep for eternity at the tower... Waiting for the return.... to make some raid... Crota... Atheon.... Oryx... With this eternal silence... this music..... Rest in peace... Destiny, 2014...... Long live our guardian!
Goosebump city right here, Makes me think about all the time i've spent with friends over the past 3 years on this game, Some moved on, Some even passed away .... But the memories are forever. See you guardians in D2!
@@legendofacriuswithornament2019 It’s not nostalgia. I am seriously pissed off constantly by that excuse to downplay someone’s very real opinion. Destiny 2 is just missing emotional ambient music like D1 had. That is why they feel “the magic is gone” in D2. Not because nolstalgia but because the towers music in D2 for example has a completely different philosophy to D1 tower music. Here’s an example. The songs from D1 that play in the tower are emotional ambient songs such as “the traveller, tranquility and the tower” these songs r emotional. D2 on the other hand uses some upbeat hero music instead with every season changing it (which is an awesome addition mind u). Anyway. D1 music says welcome home to a sacred place. While D2s tower music says hello hero’s of the tower. Because of that D2s tower makes players have less of a connection to it, while it’s music acknowledges that there are hero’s of the city present in D2s tower, D1s tower acknowledges that it’s a guardians home which is what made it more “magical” feeling. It’s completely 2 different types of music used as the underlying philosophy’s are different. Bungie have gone from making the tower feel homely to a place where hero’s are present.
@@legendofacriuswithornament2019 No. i do feel nostalgia for this track, but that’s not what I’m referring to. The quality of the sound, the themes, emotions and message it’s trying to convey. That’s the magic. That’s completely missing in Destiny 2. 99% of the music in Destiny 2 is just vapid noises to fill in the audio. In Destiny 1, at least they tried to make the music have meaning and in many places they succeeded, such as here.
Back in 2016 I got back into Destiny heavily with the taken King and my life was going pretty well after moving to another state and getting with a girl I truly cared for. Hearing this song in orbit while I woke up early doing challenge of the elders just hit different. My life is totally different now and when I come back and hear this song it transports me back to those times that I wish I could have back. I love Destiny 2 but nothing will ever rebottle that magic from those early 2016 days. I really hope Destiny will have another Golden age at some point. Wishful thinking.. I know..
Terry Beatson yeah man, I feel old going back to the base games soundtrack... remember when vanguard and crucible marks were still a thing? And when you did the nightfall, you got those flames on your head, and people in the Tower considered you a god? Damn... good times.
I never got to really enjoy D1. I'm an avid player of D2 now, but I was a little squeaker when D1 released. This song, though. I remember this. I remember aimlessly walking about, unsure of what to do. Watching other Guardians amass for.. whatever. And that guitar in the background.. I was only eleven, but it made me feel... calm. But sorrowful. Knowing I hadn't had the chance to get into any groups for.. any activities. I never even killed Zydron. I quit at him. I want to go back. I want to go back.
You should’ve just tried it my man. I was a squeaker too but I played with a bunch of grown ass men with wives and kids. The Destiny community truly is different from the rest.
BubbaUnkle bungie ain't the same people anymore. Watching the halo 2 documentary and how the run things now is completley different. I hope when the 10 year contract ends they make another game changer like halo
Marty didn't make this one., actually. Lead composer for this track was C Paul Johnson, the guy who did Last Array and Regicide. (He left of his own accord in 2016, incidentally.)
Destiny 2 feels like an empty shell of what it once used to be. Most of the D2 playerbase never played the first game and only the true OG Destiny fans know the real feeling of Destiny's universe if you put a lot of insight into it. The lore of the first game was at it's peak. The feeling of the unknown, having your Guardian uncover the mysteries of The Collapse and finding out what the hell happened, the theories about what in god's fuck the Darkness was, and as if the near-extinction of all life on Earth wasn't horrifying enough, what remains of humanity gets caught in the middle of an inter-species advanced alien war, seeing all that is what made the first game shine despite some of its flaws. Marty O'Donnell's compositions always made you feel at ease and tranquil when your character was at The Tower, despite the horrors and dark secrets of the universe awaiting to be discovered. Mysterious and tragic; yet intriguing in a beautiful way.
Destiny 1 had a magic to it, I think everything in destiny 2 is great, I have so much fun with the game but I definitely miss the mystery of everything, the soundtrack, beyond light had an amazing soundtrack however it wasn’t mysterious and for lack of a better word tranquil, all of destiny 1’s tracks aren’t combat related and fast paced, some are just perfect songs to fall asleep to, that is why I like beyond lights soundtrack much more then the others in d2, for songs like reflection and deep stone lullaby
POV: You go to the tower to relax after a long day of defending the last safe city on earth, sitting on the edge of the tower looking at how far we have come, looking at the sacredness and serenity of the traveler. And then you hear this song.
i remember going way to the left or right of the tower to where those thin little ramp plates were where you could pull out the sit emote and just perch on the edge watching all the city lights glimmer and whirr, with the beautiful orb-traveller just piercing the sky like a comforting musket ball of protection, giving such an irreplaceable & ethereal bliss to the environment i didnt know i could be so allured by. I always wondered what roaming those streets on a misty midnight evening far down below would feel like - wondering about the lives of your protectors way up above at the tower and what monstrous lethal forces they were hunting to assure your safety. for how much shit Destiny was given for poor narrative, (and i wont necessarily disagree on that front), - the ambience, feel and flavour of *being* a hero - its what cements the happy memories of being a guardian in my mind.
It’s nice coming back, listening to these tracks, it does bring me hope that Bungie will return to a simpler time, where the game and lore actually mixed, where we had fireteams full of our friends, getting ready for a raid on the Vult, or stopping Crota, Oryx, the SIVA devils. Those were the days.
I had a rough night after drinking, I’ve come here because I want to remember the blessed times. I am blessed for what I have now. I feel so lost in life.. Why am I saying this in a destiny comment section.. I don’t know. All I know is I love my girlfriend and family, but I’m lost
After these years, Destiny is over for me. So much good and so much shit happened. But memories of a carefree time remain. This soundtrack feels like a farewell to my gaming days.
this song brings it all back. Killing Crota over and over laughing over the stupidest stuff. Getting Gally after the long grind. When my vex dropped. Killing oryx and watching him drift into space. Dancing at the tower and inviting people into party Chat and making great friends. Just doing nightfalls late at night. Praedyth77 I will always remember you
Team of 6 guardians just sitting at the tower watching the traveler getting ready for a raid.. titan 1: do u think it will ever wake up again? Titan 2: idk man.. i would love to see it, but.. im also kinda scared at the same time if im being honest, they said it was quite the sight to behold. Warlock 1: yes.. my grandfather used to tell me tales of the golden age.. he said it was.. beautiful awe inspiring the things we used to be capable of.. ive studied for years among the greatest minds to find out all i can of the traveler and the golden age... i only wi..( sound of woman dieing)( they all look back immediately) [me the asshole of the group] ...wat..(pushes other afk warlock)( death noises)..heh heh heh.. [They say simultaneously] Titan 1: Hunters. Titan 2: Hunters. Warlock 1:Hunters. Only hunter in group me: IMMA DO IT AGAIN!! :D
They need to do a scene at the end of the light vs dark saga where we walk around the ruins of the old tower like in back area where Saladin and Petra used to set up shop and look and the beauty beyond the wall.
So much changes. We took on the force responsible for humanity’s collapse. And we won. Yet now I’m having a feeling of uncertainty. I don’t know what comes next.
This song reminds me of the old stories of the guardians before us, before we were resurrected by our ghost. The tales of brave guardians and the much older tales of the early light bearers, the risen.
Am I the only one getting a Japanese jrpg vibe from this? Like this would be the song played when you find a hidden area that is scared or something. Like a hidden pool for the gods or something.
my memory of this is not from actually playing the game but instead just having destiny beta on my ps3 on the main menu. Game wasnt even fully out yet but i remember just being on that main menu listening to this as i would fallalseep
the story fell apart the instant they introduced the Witness and retconned the black fleet to not be the darkness equivalent of the traveler anymore (now the veil is that for some reason). imo the franchise peaked in season of arrivals
