Actually played a bit the other day. Logged in and saw two dudes trying to Open the doors to VoG, decided to hold down the third plate for them. Then others joined in. Then suddenly we had a full raid team, we got invited and ran VoG off the cuff. It was the most funny I’ve had with the franchise in a long time.
It was the best for sure; that feeling when you put it on and it loads up..the music, the little tingle you get. Man, what a time! Really was incredible and so much fun.
It was slower, had lvling system, graphics was better ,but older - i mean more effects and scenes were designed for atmosphere, not leds, rgbs only like d2 XDDD, IT HAVE CAMPAIGNS not like d2, d1 is still better in my opinion and alive what's shocking
It was this mistery how is the Traveller and what is the Darkness.. The Musik the tone it was awsome!!! I remember hearing the D1 Thema for the first Time😮..
Only thing I liked better in D2 was the Design of the enemies. They look more "mature", less like a child's game. But that's all... The HUD in D2 already is a massive downer...
@@aidenmarshman3813 yea fr, in d2 I’m constantly having to remind myself it’s not meant to look cartoon looking The hive especially they look like wax action figures
I actually just got into Destiny, as anew player I thought it was really hard getting into D2 with how chopped up the base game is. So I tried out D1 and honestly I’m having a really good time with it. It was cool to see that people are still playing, and that I actually have a complete game to experience. I know I won’t get to check out those live events and such, but it’s awesome at least all of the base content and expansions are still here to enjoy.
Destiny 2 would have been a lot better if they had at LEAST kept The Red War (it’s original base campaign) so that you at least had context as to how the hell everything changed so much. The only players who can really get into Destiny 2 at this point are the ones who have been consistently following it since the seasonal system began at least. Now you just jump into current events with no emotional buildup even available to properly experience it
@@shotgun6125 As one of those players that got in at about 2020 when (from what I've been hearing, anyways) the seasonal system began really trying in the story department; yeah, I completely agree. There are some characters like Cayde-6 that I just never got attached to because I couldn't experience a campaign where he was still around. I imagine there are many new players that feel the same about many of the characters who've had their story arcs get deleted. A lot of the experience is also kinda worsened by just how many activities need to be grinded out before the next expansion takes it all away. The constant FOMO's honestly got me to not want to touch the game until friends want to do raids and dungeons.
the nostalgia is crazy I started tearing up thinking about all the good old days and friends I made along the way and who I haven't talked to in over 5 years
I miss the campaign structure of d1. I loved how u could replay any mission in the campaign at any time. It also felt like the story had tighter direction in a sense. I’m not saying the overall storytelling is better but how the campaign felt to play felt much more rewarding. I also miss when exotics felt genuinely exotic same with legendary gear. You weren’t just handed the gear like you are now which I feel diminishes the value of the gear.
That’s funny that you say that about the story , I remember people talking crap about the story , I never played D2 (my clan all quit D1 towards the end) so I’m not sure where the story went
I’ve only ever played D2 and went back and downloaded D1 just to see its roots. And lemme tell you it’s a damn grind to really become powerful LMFAOO. It feels a lot more rewarding in D1 though I will say that
@Quanta Solace my dad says that, he played the game and had over 5000 hours in destiny 1, he said that getting exotics was way harder to get than destiny 2
It was really only in the past few months that I started putting any time into destiny 2. All these years it’s been out I’ve been playing destiny 1 still, mostly soloing nightfalls once a week, but age of triumph really gave this game so much life. I also mostly prefer the art style in d1, it’s cool to hear someone else notice that subtle difference (: definitely one of my favorite games as well
What a fabulous game D1 was. Some fantastic memories. My 1st Vault of Glass raid was with a random team on one sunny afternoon. It was mindblowing. One of, if not the best gaming experience i have ever had. Good times 🙏
Dude! I actually went back and played D1 this month as well. My life shifted pretty significantly recently... I got offered a job in Norway, so I moved here in the last days of 2022 and because I don't know anyone and it's winter, after work I hang out at home and because I brought my old Xbox One X with me, I decided to fire up D1 and I've been just chilling every day for an hour or two in game. There are still people playing this game. My tower is almost always pretty full and there are still LFG posts regularly. Like you said, this game changed my life as well. And that's not me just saying stuff, it did allow me to make some of the decisions that led me to a better and more full life. The friendships, the memories, the "zeitgeist" of that era on console was something that defined gaming for me and many other people who were around back then. I made friendships all around the world, played with some amazing and kind people and that's how I found you and your channel as well. Just looking at my vault is like going back in time. Every gun and every piece of armor has a story attached to it. Dude, the memories :) Glad to see you're enjoying it as well. Hope you're well! P.S. You say you lived for Trials. I lived for the Solo Nightfall. That was my favorite activity in the game back then. Being able to do it week after week was the "pride and accomplishment" I was after.
@@hammy2.039 It's very mellow but highly organized, which I like. I live in a small coastal town in the south. The weather is "rain and wind" or "show and wind" lol, but you cherish seeing the sky and the sun on rare occasions. So far I'm enjoying it. Just need to learn the language and even that's not a huge issue. Everyone speaks English well enough to get by on a daily basis.
Dude, love this comment, thank you. Congrats on the new job, I hope it goes amazing! Also I fully agree with the zeitgeist of that era on console was absolutely so special. It's the last really social gaming experience I've had, was Destiny 1. There was real magic there and then.
This video popped up in my feed just now. Saw your comment, i am from Norway😎 Just wanted to say! D1 also changed my life, i think it did for many of us. D1 over D2 every day.
I would for sure run Crota’s End again. My favorite raid of all time. Had so much fun with the boys, giggling and laughing as we would try to make it through that one passage where it’s just darkness and endless thralls. Good times.
It's amazing to hear you talk about D1 the way you do because I feel the exact same. Destiny was really my first hardcore gaming experience. I miss the raid days so much. Made friends, the community was tier 1 back then. I recently tried out D2 and was SO lost. Will never get that old VOG raid feels again.
I would love a destiny classic. I remember playing the game in its alpha and beta stages, the game honestly felt like such a breath of fresh air and was the last game to really make me feel that way.
Man this game meant so much to me all the back in 2014 as a 12 year old squeaker and to this Destiny is still one my most favourite franchises I loved the art, the world building, the loot, everything and then I got older and had less time for Destiny 2 by 2017/18 but now and again I pop back into D1 or D2 (when a new expansion drops for example) per audacia ad astra
@@willfoster1 I remember yous squeakers 😁.I was in my early 30’s when Destiny was released.We had kid 9 or 10 on raid team.We didn’t mind play with younger generation as long they were respectful.That was beauty about Destiny all age groups played together.Also we had guy in our team in his 60s.There was couple guys like 13,we played trials with them,they were very good.Great days they were.
@@willfoster1 yeah man,that was first game I started play with people together accualy.Met great bunch of people some of them still friends today after all years.
I played D1 back at the start, so much fun with mates! I randomly jumped into a few missions last year! So nostalgic picking it up again! I’ve just picked up Destiny 2 Lightfall and really enjoying it. Will always be an amazing game
To me lightfall sucks balls. I quit Destiny 2 for 5 years bc it just wasn’t it for me. Then my buddy told me to get lightfall last week so I did. For $50 it sucks. The campaign is great gameplay wise(but ur you’re on legendary, it’s literally impossible to beat), but the story sucks. It sounds cool from a distance but I literally couldn’t care less about the new characters. Man I just wish they would’ve stuck to that 10 year D1 plan.
About 6 weeks into D2 they jacked up the base movement speed, but the guardian sprint speed and sparrow speed is still marginally slower in D2 than it was in D1. But the biggest change is in ability speed. Jumps and dodges are much slower in D2. Weapon handling and TTK were toned down in the sequel and they had to nerf movement to match.
Destiny 1 was where I reunited with some old friends of mine from 6th grade. The only members I maintained contact with are my friends Nero, Austin, and Nate. In the final season of Beyond Light, another person I met that year who was also on good terms with Nero, Austin, and Nate created a clan. The clan itself is essentially a group dedicated to players who were abandoned by their previous friends/clans. He makes sure to ask any of our LFGs as well if they'd like to join our ranks
I started Destiny 1 on Playstation 4 when it first came out and I had lots of fun. I spent countless hours in that game. I finished all the raids except rise of machines , I got my gjallarhorn on my 3rd month after the game out in 2015 and I got every exotic armor and exotic weapons from Destiny 1. When I got Destiny 2 for the ps4 , when it first came out, it didn't feel the same. So I went back to Destiny 1 and I was surprised at how many people still played this game 5 years ago. Four years ago, I stopped playing on ps4 and bought an xbox one S, but I still missed playing Destiny 1. So I bought a disc version of Destiny 1 The Complete edition for the Xbox and I still haven't played it as much as I would to this day because of work. Now that I have an Xbox Series X, I''ll definitely go back to playing Destiny 1 and see if I can get back every piece of exotic armor and weapon including the Vex Mythoclast. The thing I hate about Bungie is the way they brought back The Vault of Glass Raid and armor and weapons but they never brought back the Atheon's Epilogue Auto Rifle. What's worse they made Fatebringer an exotic weapon and the Gjallarhorn is hidden behind a paywall as part of a bungie 35th anniversary expansion. I'm not exactly sure if I want to buy that new Destiny 2 expansion Lightfall.
I so miss my hunters taken sword, which I worked SOOO hard for. I also had the taken ship color mod…it was so awesome…. Dude your making me take a trip down memory lane! Now I’m gonna have to play it!
My favorite game hands down without question. I played the beta and didn't know what i was doing, just ran around pve with a sniper, trying to play it like halo and cod. I didn't pay attention to it until my friend let me license transfer it during house of wolves dlc. As soon as i started playing i fell in love and never stopped playing. Just when i thought it couldn't get any better, i just kept learning more and finding more in the game and in the community. It just felt like a never ending experience with infinite possibilities. A mysterious vibe everywhere in every setting that was just perfect. And the music, oh baby the music, was just perfect. It was already my favorite game i had ever played and i didn't think it could possibly get any better. Then the taken king happened. And man, when i say the majority of my life during that time was spent on that game, i mean it literally. Sad or not, i don't care. That time will always remain the absolute pinnacle of gaming for me and holds some of the best memories in my life. I was so deep into the story, the lore of everything, the secrets, finding secrets myself, trying to find them before anyone makes a video about them, the exotic swords, the entire dreadnought...etc literally everything i was so invested in and i knew everything about the game, pve side more than pvp, that i possibly could. Then kings fall came out and that was the first raid i went for worlds first on. Although, my team was an LFG and not an actual set up team for worlds first. But that was ok! Back then it was the experience and the friends you made through LFG. No other game i played had such genuine people that would always be willing to help others get through even the most difficult activities. That's why i played every raid at least 5-10 times each every week. (Also because i just absolutely loved raiding.) I was always looking for newer players who wanted to experience the raid but didn't have anyone to play it with. So i would always post on LFG looking for newer players to sherpa and make sure they knew it didn't matter if they didn't know what they were doing or if they messed up or didn't understand anything. It was such an amazing feeling to help newer people experience those end game activities and get them more into the game like i was. Rise of iron was no different either. I played it like crazy and then destiny 2 had me even more excited than i had ever been. I loved it at first and for a good while after. But after a year or two of it. I couldn't play it with the same excitement i could back in destiny 1. It was just different. I still bought every dlc and played them and i even had a set team from last wish that i went for worlds first with on every single raid up until the lightfall raid. But, now i don't play it at all. and i said up until the lightfall raid because i didn't even buy lightfall. I was excited and was going to buy it, but i didn't see a need to. It's a lot of money, so i decided to wait and see if the "this dlc will change everything and bring destiny back" hopefulness would be true. I saw it wasn't, so i didn't buy it. Such a shame what destiny used to be and mean to alot of us and what it is now. So, i would absolutely buy and play an og destiny experience if they were to make one. Especially if it's on pc. Maybe if destiny 3 is a thing, we can have hope that they'll simplify things and bring that mysterious vibe back into the game.
Destiny One was the game that forced me to learn how to use a controller. My wife started playing and one day I saw her using Red Death in the Dreadnought and was intrigued. I ended up playing around 1-2K hours and it kind of became a thing for my wife and I. To this day, (Even though we play D2) those were some of the best memories I have in gaming. We recently fired the game up, made two new characters and are starting fresh. Going from P,C K&M, back to a controller is a learning curve now, but totally worth.
A D1 classic would be amazing. A fresh start for everyone, graphic upgrade, and a revival of an amazing community. I think it would be a very effective way to bring back old players who are too overwhelmed with D2.
Thanks for making this awesome video, my nostalgia really hit hard when you were talking about the memories associated with D1. Had a very similar experience back in the day, lots of fun with great people. Keep up the great work!
Lots of great memories! I used to play Apex a good deal but haven't in the past year....finding time to play as an adult is surprisingly difficult. Cheers
destiny 1 during quarantine was something else. the game was alive like it used to be, pvp matches were almost instant, and there were players everywhere, like the good old days. i miss d1 a lot.
I wish this game got a remaster, whilst I am pretty upset with Bungie for the content vault in Destiny 2 I'd still probably struggle to stop myself from purchasing this game if it was on steam.
Ive just made my 10th account for a fresh start in D1 no matter what other games there are i always come back to D1 for the fun and the challenge and remeber the days of pushing Atheok off the map or unplugging my ethernet cord to solo Crota
I occasionally jump back into D1, so the feelign isn't as overwhemling for me. Though having already paed the shit out of it and maxed out, I don't play too long, most of the time it's to just do somthign I'm gettign the feeling for, but unfortunatly D1 doesn't have as strong a layer base anymore, so even getting into strikes is a little hard. I think Bungie should make the game comepletly free to play, this could boost the player numbers a bit, and maybe just charge for Taken King and Rise of Iron. But surprisingly the old 360 servers are still running and still have players on there, now THAT is a huge surprise. You'd think they've have all by now transfered to the prime servers.
I have like 2500 hours in Destiny 1. Loved this game and love the memories now. D2 is not the same anymore. Also, the intro music in D1 is much better than in D2.
Destiny 1 was the first game that really changed my life, I just imagined in a whole Nother world that was me in the video game and just how everything was , like a fairytale to me and I loved it. I remember the first time we playing destiny in the patrol area of cosmodrome, I would save up all my strange coins just to wait for xur every Friday morning, amazing times I wish I can go back beginning all over again
Definitely agree with the time part older you get more responsibility and less time... I was on D1 every night now I'm lucky if I get more than 10 hours a week to invest 😔
My brother played Destiny for years since it came out and I’d always watch him. I haven’t started playing until a few weeks ago, and I can’t believe I wasn’t into it when I was younger. It’s such an addicting game once you get used to it.
D1 was Awesome and D2 has turned into a grind campaign x10 and burnt me out. I play sometimes these days in D2 but after an hour, its the same grind to get 10 things to trade for 1 thing and get 10 of them to get another thing to complete a task. Destiny has brief stories wrapped around lots of "busy work" to keep people busy until next DLC/Release and has completely ruined this for me. I liked D1 because it seemed to be more story driven and I guess D2 people gave up on that concept, too bad.
I don’t know about you guys but destiny 1 was the best game that i ever played in my life , I remember in highschool i would just wait me and my friends for school day to finish so we can rush back home and complete all the raids and nightfalls on all of our 3 characters, truly best days of my life.
Just the theme song on the start screen is nostalgic for me. Getting off work , coming home at 10pm my clans already online , it’s a Monday and we’re all up until 3am doing the raid , cutting up in pvp (sometimes) man just the thought makes me wish it was 2014 again
Hi, i have a very uncommon (but for me an important) question for you and others who are interested/in Knowledge. How did you "get rid" of the dlc's? I can see on the map, that the weeklys were locked for you, at the beginning of the video. But i can also tell, that you had rise of iron before, because of your gear. But first i wanna explain why it matters: If you manage to "uninstall" rise of iron, you can turn the vendors inventory into year 2 inventory, so you can get all the year 2 stuff. (Some of them are insanely good for PVE, outclassing the year 3 shotguns by a lot for example). I am a hardcore grinder. I know, that these things matter: - Your disc version (Vanilla, Taken King or Rise of Iron) - Your Console - Your installed Destiny Version - Your digital Versions of the game. I Would love if you or someone else could tell me more about that. (Nice video by the way)
Classic Destiny always gives me nostolgia, one memory that comes to mind is doing quest on the moon with some buddies at 5am on a school night riding our sparrows and just driving off a cliff while my buddies laughed that I was falling asleep. Took those days for granted.
I remember seeing Hunter, Titan, warlock, I picked Titan because it fits my personality. Smash smash😂 but what made me really excited was that I went to a military academy Discovery ChalleNGe Academy and was put without knowing or being allowed to pick the Titan platoon. That cemented my belief that I’m really a Titan.
I've lost count of how many times have deleted a d1 character and started it all again. It just feels better. I miss the not knowing what the loot pool was. When legendary drops were exciting nevermind the exotic ones. The game doesn't feel the same anymore.
I remember when the game got revealed at E3 back then. I was playing Warframe at that time and immediately jumped into the Destiny 1 beta when it was available, and played the game for like 2 years. The game still looks amazing for it's age. It has a much darker tone than D2, which I personally like a lot more than the comic look of D2 with the brighter colors. D1 has so much more atmosphere. I love the social hub of D1. The tower was so much better. Everyone was still very hopefull for the future of Destiny back then lol here we are with the franchise being flushed down the toilet pretty much. I want to play D1 again so bad too. Wish they brought it to PC. I hope I can get my hands on a PS5 to play it again. D1 had easily some of the best raids I ever seen in any game. That Crota glowing armor was just amazing. King's Fall was so good in D1. I quit D2 years ago, doubt I'll play it ever again. It's a shame to see what they did to this franchise really.
Left this game a long time ago and decided to come back a few weeks ago, 2023 and this is still active!! I started a new PSN Profile, new character and added players/friends whenever I visited Tower. In 1 week I had more than 65 new friends all playing D1 in 2023 🤗
d1 gave me memories that i’ll never forget with ppl i didn’t even know it feels like i gotta force myself to play d2 now. it’ll never live up to d1 that shit was perfect
Destiny 1 was my halo 3. Hoppin on every Friday night with the boys back in middle school, grinding our with thru every campaign. Gosh those were the days
I know I'm a little late, but me and a couple buddy's of mine are about to load back in 1 last time. I started playing in beta as well as having that original white ps4 that came out with destiny. This will always be part of me as I played when I was 12 now I'm 21, D2 isn't the same and I wish they would remaster D1. Man I miss those days.
I don't comment that much on YT videos, but I remember your voice and I loved your podcast back in the day! I was neck deep in Destiny at the time as well. Great memories!
I feel destiny changed my life, i met people in the tower and we happened to go to the same high school back then, we still good friends today and we did root of nightmares day one
This brings back so many memories, I remember playing this game as a kid and it being the first game I ever bought for my xbox. Such a great community behind this game
That initial intro is what makes me smile. I fell off destiny hard and in D1 I was part of a clan, my main role was PVP and carrying ny team while they sit back and watch me clutch
miss this game so much, played the shit out of it as a teen and wish i could go back and play it again so many good memories and good people i met through this game
Destiny 1 remastered would be a awesome experience. My dad used to play destiny and he would scream the house town after getting an exotic. The other day he saw me playing destiny 2 and he was shocked with how different the game not only looked but felt to play when I let him have a go.
Man, I miss using No Land and the Zen Meteor most in Trials. Felt absolutely legendary winning with em. No snipers in D2 have the same feel and was really surprised they didn't carry those over after how popular they were amongst PvP.
Man i remember getting destiny. I got it later than some of my friends, who were already attempting vog while i was just starting out. Wanted to do all of the campaign solo for the experience and without getting carried through, but the way the game felt from the start was incredible. Never did a game feel like that. The hours spent in the cosmodrome camping fallen and hive spawns, cheesing valus taarc, the pre-nerf vex mythoclast. Damn. If someone ever creates a time machine, take me and drop me off just pre-release of destiny 1.
As an old Beta and OG D1 player myself, I think... That inital experience with fluid and strong gunplay by Bungie, already renowned from Halo. The Lore of this devastated world and our abilities with the Light. Matchmaking, strikes, raids. It had it all and we all loved it. We're a year away from the ending saga. It has been a long journey. I've went flawless, beaten raids after raids and even lost Fireteam members to real life deaths, RIP. As a solo guardian, I now solo my way to the final saga. Who knows, I may find a new Fireteam to kick it with, but so far, two years in running solo, I still haven't ecountered a fireteam to run with.
One of my all time biggest gaming regrets is buying the game....installing it on my Xbox One....then watching the Angry Joe review not long afterwards. When I heard the way he tore the game to shreds, it terrified me that I had just wasted $60, so I uninstalled the game and returned it to Gamestop. Got store credit and bought something else. Now that I've been a Destiny 2 player for a good 5 years now, I always hear the nostalgia talk from my friends who were there for D1, and I wish SO BAD that I could have been there.
I’m actually playing destiny one for pretty much the first time today, I can’t wait for the story I’m excited. I jumped into destiny 2 forsaken and been playing it ever since
Im taking my buddy through it who had never played d1 but had played a lot d2 he absolutely loves it i recommend making any of your friends who play d2 play through d1
Enjoyed the video, memories! Got three Gally's in D1. First was in the chest in VOG. Then again the next day. Had another drop months later and never got it again. Use to run people through Icebreaker mission with my wife, loved when it dropped for them. Spent ALOT of time exploring outside the map, loved following the greats like CloudXXX. Made some great friends.....still play with a few now....one in particular. The self Rez helped me glitch through doors, good times. -Salty-Blueberry
This game was the first game i played when i back from Afghan in 2014. Saved me from dark times again and again. Will always have a love/hate relationship with Destiny 1 and 2
I have played Destiny since beta release. I took a break in D2 after year 1 but came back with lightfall and it is still a wonderful game. The focus on story is what keeps me coming back along with the refined gameplay. Just. Straight. Fun.
This is so nostalgic... I participated in the Destiny 1 beta on the PS3 when I was about 10 or 11 years old and I remember very well how much I loved this game. After the beta ended I kept playing the demo non-stop (as if it was the full game) since I couldn't buy the game. Unfortunately, it is not available on Steam (unlike Destiny 2 which is there). I hope one day they make a PC port...
