With Cayde's death in Forsaken, I cried a bit because I'm a hunter main, have been since the D1 Beta. All because he's voiced by my favorite actor / voice talent who's had the characters I've related to in terms of how they hold themselves up. But this here had me choking back crying until Cayde said, "You're my favorite, don't ever forget that", what made it worse was the radio afterward, though.
I will admit this wrecked me as much as it did him , I think due all if us it was a culmination of ten years of our lives spent with this game , kudos to bungie for this expansion
The whole Dissenter story was something I didn't know I needed but added incredible depth to the lore and story. And the way we had to kill off all of those statues after taking out 3 of them in the campaign? Literal perfection. I can't think of anything I'd change with the campaign, the raid and how it integrated into the final mission. Cried my eyes out at the end, a 40yr old father and husband. The guardian asking for his ghost to be brought back gave me vibes of a parent who lost their child, begging for it to be brought back. That freaking music. 😭 It's so cool, I don't think anyone else has told us we're their favorite, except Cayde. And also, Ghost comes back to life and says the first words he says when he found us in D1. POETRY.
yeah those statues, literally made me go "OH WHAT FINALLY YEAHHHH, THEY KNEW WHAT WE WANTED" lmfao duuude I thought it was so cool when we chopped 3 statues in the campaign, but was a little disappointed it was only 3, then later happy when we got them all
This made everything worth it. Every great expansion, every mediocre one. All those bits and pieces of story we got while we goofed around with friends in the tower or crucible or seasonal thing. What a phenomenal way to cap off a decade of endless combat and dancing.
Way back in Shadowkeep- my first day-1 expansion release, I joined just before Black Armory- I remember finding your gameplay of the first mission and being so drawn to your audible excitement seeing the Pyramid, like someone finally reflecting the level of enthusiasm I had about it. When you posted less destiny stuff for however long its been, I was a little sad. Seeing your reaction to this (crying), as someone who myself cried at the ending and truly didn't expect Destiny to ever provoke something so strong from me, it feels full circle.
Can I just say that the powers of darkness are based on memory, and zavala, eris and the drifter are all characters with huge emphasis on their stories and memories- they could be the most powerful darkness users ever!
In the last 10 years, I remember the Professor and his Clan Elysium fireteam taking on Oryx in the Knight's Fall raid and getting World's First. Keep up the good fight, Professor. We'll see you starside.
I started playing Destiny in Beta. I hadn't played much since Shadowkeep, but kept up with the story. After hearing what everyone was saying about this expansion I had to hop back in. And man did Bungie deliver. And when that D1 music hit I broke down, then when Ghost said "There you are", I broke down even more. What an incredible journey.
Thank you Broman! I started watching you back in the early days of Destiny 1, it was a amazing ending to the story of the darkness. Just hurts more after all the news coming from bungie. I feel like a friend has gone and will never be back. Just have to enjoy the memories
when this happened, for a second there i thought we were getting cayde as the voice of our ghost , or i was hoping he would voice our ghost going forward lol
The very first raid, we saw "Guardians Make Their Own Fate". In the final moments of the Witness fight, before channeling the Light, we see that message again. The First big boss, and the final big boss of this saga. Then, Cayde says that line as one of his last words
I finally got a chance to play tonight. I was also an absolute mess at the end. What an incredible W for Bungie. They absolutely nailed it. I even cried a second time while watching this. Thank you for sharing your reaction.
It was a mission secret from season of the seraph during witch queen. I'm not sure if the lore has been explicit about his origin or not but it's at least implied he was part of an exo experiment because he's repeatedly referred to as an exo dog in marketing material and maybe even in game. If I remember correctly he was called Project Archangel in internal records before we busted him out and got the name Archie when we figured out he was a robodog.
Too bad I stopped playing the game for a very long time, I can't follow the story and we can't start from the very beginning... because it looks absolutely epic!
as bad as they were, curse of osiris, warmind, shadowkeep, even light fall, they all added so much to the story. the downs of those expansions only made the good ones even better. until destiny 3 🫡
