Why You Should Return to Destiny 2 for The Final Shape (Seriously) 

Pantheon is not for new people!

im pretty sure they are always crossed before every yearly release. Lets not kid ourselves, if this expansion is less than TTK or Forsaken, itll be a complete failure. Everything has led up to this finale and it needs to surpass these previous highs.

As someone who started is D1 I will not be returning and Bungie can get stuffed. I'm tired of the back tracking the broken promises and the bullshit D2 has become. I'm out and I would tell anyone thinking about coming back, to think again....

I'm surprised you didn't include the unsunsetting of weapons. A lot of people quit because of that.

Into the light is full on recycle... We paid for the majority of that content long ago. All the effort was switching the "On" box. Everything else was meant for 30th anniversary type of paid DLC. (Just compare the similarities) They even held on the UI rework for almost a year just to sell it in FS, there were leaks of the rework long ago. Clear proof they do not care about player convenience in the slightest while withholding such an important QoL feature.

As a fellow VD1 guardian that’s left and came back numerous times… I approve this message!!

I sign myself under every single word, as a fellow vanilla D1 guardian. Eyes Up!

Same. I've took the time to play other games when D2 seasonal content ran dry. I think doing that really helped me with not disliking Destiny. In the end, I always found my way back to the tower.

Try getting perma banned for no reason🤣

Stay strong brothers, Sony needs your money after HD2 fiasco.

Lol

My thoughts exactly

The Ray Epps of destiny

a lot has changed, i think youll be pleasantly surprised

Just finished gaming and taking a dump. I think it's time to come back.

😂

@@kazi6343a dump isn’t a valuable reason to drop a game. Poop in your chair.

In the same boat. Stopped after LF and I just can't find the motivation. I've played since D1 and it's just not getting my hype for launch.

​@@6lackn322 I run a discord server that lasted years, still chat and update it, but haven't logged on for a year. We used to joke that despite Bungie's best efforts, we'd all see it through to the end. A lot have straight up quit this year and it's really sad how badly Bungie ruined the community many of us all shared. I don't care that they're actually putting in the effort again when their sales underperform. They're such scummy developers. It's too late and happened too many times.

Same guys, day 1 D1 vet and I'm not crazy keen for it

Same, tbh I been here since day 1 with D1, so im in it until the end, afterward, im done with this ip Bungies clearly doesn't care for.

​@@6lackn322same here. What are you playing now?

Oooh yeah. Lightfall truly tested my patience and made me feel like the victim of a rug pull scheme.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Lightfall was hot garbage. Burnt out and felt like there was nothing to do. They have to make the biggest comeback for me to want to actually join the game again

Blame wokeness

This is what I was thinking like if they just have all the shi I paid for for free then I’m finna just wait till they do that shi again like if they end up giving shi away why have us pay for it at all I get it it’s to support them to make more but if that money is like a. Donation to help fund more shi then why don’t they just ask for those instead of giving content for free after people spent money on it idk I’m happy bungie is giving shi out for free they rack up so much money of the expensive ass expansions so I’m glad that bungie is finnaly releasing some shi to less fortunate people

That’s not a pause

Drake getting hurt everywhere

Like bro catching stays all over the internet🤣

Last thing I expected from this video was a drake diss 💀

so real, as a seasoned veteran who made content for years and still think Destiny will forever be my favorite video game I want to care about the game so bad but I just don’t.

@@r3vkyyou woke up, congrats brother

I’m coming back after leaving at D1 because I was upset that all my times and time counted for nothing when getting D2, and honestly I’m having fun, glad I missed the last 9 years of betrayal even though I have no idea why people are mad.

​​@@7eamGhastbro came back at the worst time. 1.PVP has been dead for years 2.Raids have become very easy 3.The story makes no sense anymore 4.Bungie has no plans to bring back vaulted expansions.

@@Flaming-wings Maybe, but i'm having fun in my free time in PVP.

I stopped playing due to having a life reasons, and missed some seasonal ornaments that will never come back. Ornaments I'd be willing to grind for and pay for if I had the chance mind you.

I hope you really do consider it after a couple of days. In a similar case with Helldivers 2, one of my friends said they weren’t picking it up yet. They said because, “I don’t know, I’m still suspicious about it.” After WEEKS, when the PSN account linking happened, they took that as their moment to say I told you so.

@@Mike322161Well, we told ya so.

​@@Mike322161bro is Bungie's white knight lmao

Its called burnout, and im surprised how many d2 players feel and and have no idea what it means, if you do to much of ANYTHING daily (like thousands of hours) relatively consistently, its pretty common to just burnout and lose motivation for years, usually it fades, but again, it can take years, while it happens a lot in video games, it can also happen with jobs or sometimes longer shows. The only time I've seen this not happen is with autistic people (like me) hyperfixating on something for 12 years, but that gives a whole new type of endless dopamine and doesn't really count. Anyways, it happens to almost everyone, don't be harsh on urself abt it.

I’ve been playing destiny since alpha beta in D1. I quit. Not returning.

@@EepyGirlLavaexactly i could play bg3 and witcher 3 for thousands of hrs and still grow to hate it if i dont take breaks

Yeah im over this game

The thing about live service games is that the devs never intend to make a good game, it needs to be flawed so they have to apply updates every now and then for it to be live service, same thing why no one creates light bulbs that last 200 years

But with older players it feels as if your progress was reset, that’s why they don’t do that

@@FalloutPlays props to her, it's so effing good lmao

@@FalloutPlays prints?

Why $120? If you are on PS, everything except Final Shape is free (legacy pack for a month, Lightfall on PS+ for may) If you actually want to purchase the Legacy collection, its discounted to $12 on PSN too. If you are on PC, you can also wait for the inevitable discounts that they always do that should match or improve those PSN prices. For all intents and purposes, you can get everything before Final Shape eitjer for free or for around $20-25 And Final Shape you can also just wait for it to drop a bit in price if you dont care about buying day 1

@@Estarvia That is very true! however, there's not really a point to grinding those free activities that will inevitably get very boring without some form of final shape based content to have access to. that's kinda what i had in the back of mind while i was typing that i guess. As for the drop in price on PC... If that happens soon enough, I hope it's significant enough for me to be willing to play once more, without feeling stressed out and needing to get my money's worth.

I completely agree the fact that it’s all times events and I’d something comes up in life you’ve just wasted your money they’ll prolly never be a way to go back and do them just like so many things in the game and I think that what pisses me off the most half of the shi I bought has been scrapped and the story’s don’t even exist now so it’s like I wasted my money on previous releases like if you pay for somthing you should be able to access it forever and always because you invested in it but I feel like a lot of ppl have gotten away from remembering that with the live service game play model but I feel it’s robbery if they are taking your money for something you have some months If that some weeks to finish I feel like a lot of what destiny is now is just money they release things like this to get ppl to come back and have them give them money and then they release okie shi Bv you’ve already paid for it all the things that bungie has done to me from sunseting to storys that I paid for being removed to now that I’m back in the for the final shape I have no real way of catching up because I missed the when everything was free so idk to me everything bungie has done has proved my point that this game isn’t worth it money wise time wise it will be fun and it will be exciting but after you’ll never get to enjoy it again so it’ll only be those emotions once if that

This is exactly what they are banking on. Whether it's to exploit sales or warranted hype, only time will tell.

I'll be there. 2 years out (since witch queen) but I'll see it through. Played since og D1. Guess I gotta see it end.

@@sublimetoast1441 the only real drawback is you lose some money, but if the expansion turns out to be really good and you enjoy the game again, then you get a huge benefit

Please reserve this kind of comments for AFTER release. The only one that should be trying to lure players with nostalgia for the final is Bungie as they are the ones selling the game

@@andruuu4649 nah bro, you’re wrong about that. If people enjoy the game, they’re gonna talk about it and encourage others to play it. Pretty simple

The player count on Steam is WAY up. From January to March the average player count each month didn't go above 39 thousand. Not great numbers. Then Into the Light hits and the player count almost doubles, the average amount of players in April was 60 thousand. I'd imagine similar gains happened on other platforms too.

Into the light has breathed a lot of life back in the game for sure

they had to though fs woulda bombed bad and with how low the pop was 3 to 6 months ago it woulda been the lowest selling dlc ever .believe me there doing it out of neccesity it aint for us and out of kindess .they looked at the numbers had the whole team on call for a week and brain stormed

I'm surprised it's not disclosed. 😮😂

Stay the hell away from this game. It lost it's soul long ago Only addicts who can't quit are left.

I’ll let byf decipher the ending for me. I love the story of destiny and lightfall was complete garbage toast. I loved Destiny from the day it came out. The Taken King is still the absolute best dlc to have ever been made. I obviously preordered D2 and was beyond displeased with vanilla D2, then the curse of Osiris and shadowkeep sent me overboard. I quit until Witch Queen because the free content added was awesome and after paying for awhile I purchased and enjoyed the Witch Queen and thought lightfall looked good. Never been screwed on dlc that bad. They bit me 4 too many times and I’m not made of money. I still care so I won’t stop watching you and byf though

Don’t bungie treats us like dogshit and doesn’t deserve your trust.

Same with the quit date for me, majorly for me it was FOMO that got me to check out because I wasn't able to get any of the paid stuff that I liked playing and with all the meta stuff(the stuff I would sometimes need to play the game period) got combined with ADHD and it became burnout central.

Same for me played since D1 beta (and D2 beta) and have bought every dlc up to current point. I'm done with buying bungies shit however I still will continue to play until what I've paid for is used up. They are excellent in the marketing department and lazy/scum/greedy (we don't want to overdeliver to get our customers used to good stuff" GDC summit 2022) in the delivery department. That's also not adding the facts of them injecting identity politics and me getting completey sick and intolerant of that BS. I'll wait and see how things play out while playing but they aren't getting any more money from me after everything bungie has done to fuck over it's loyal customers especially those that have been with them since the original Xbox Halo days.

That’s great man this vid is about returning players not new ones idgaf if jimmy blueberry doesn’t know what an ascendant shard does

@@Brant-vh5mk thats neat bro we forget we were all blueberries at some point kinda like grown adults saying they don't gaf if young people don't know how to live in a society when its technically the veterans who are supposed to teach the newbies what they know and not hoard knowledge to try and be some old wise guy who nobody cares about or likes cuz he's the d* who shares blame for the fact that the people around him don't know how to do shit, and im talking about basic mechanics bruv Jez did a video showing his wife the game and it highlights several things even typical gamers would easily miss bc it's just blatantly untouched by the excuse for a tutorial
