Do People Still Play Destiny 1? | Unknown Player

[@Luminary2024]

Been here since vanilla D1. Destiny has been here for my high school graduation, then college, immigration, first car, first house and now wife. Crazy if we look back when we first started destiny.

[@Yueymosthated]

Dam bro that’s crazy time really flies

[@The_Jamazing]

I love that for you! Yeah, 10 years is crazy. I had just started college when the game came out. All of my high school friends went to the same one and I was stuck at community college. For the first few years of it's life, Destiny was quite literally an escape from how depressing my life felt. 10 years later, I got my degree after on and off working through it while working crappy jobs to keep afloat, I have almost an entirely different friend group of people who helped me get to where I am today, and still log into Destiny a few times a week to play with clanmates.

Destiny 1 is a dark fantasy while Destiny 2 is Marvel universe

[@theodorekalfagiannis7506]

I really miss the dark fantasy aspects of Destiny. The pandering of content towards teen and preteen audiences in every modern game these days has really killed the sense of wonder and realism for me. Just look at how bad the last 3 halo games have been, infinite being the worst of the 3 in terms of storytelling due to the lack of impact or seriousness in terms of repercussions.

[@legacian4039]

@@whiteheat64gaming Laid back and simple is such a good way to describe it. Destiny 2 has arguably too many moving parts, something that drives new/casual players away. You're forced into using meta loadouts or not being able to play the content, which makes 3 quarters of all the exotic weapons and armor borderline unusable in endgame. Even the class abilities are so poorly balanced, a select few always stand out and the game ends up being balanced around a very specific playstyle or loadout which makes all others inferior. D2 has largely stopped being fun for me. I spend more time trying to make builds that will work than actually playing the game. And the endgame community is toxic and gatekeep-y as hell.

[@whiteheat64gaming]

@@legacian4039 I agree, I played D2 and loved it all the way through Forsaken. After that it just got more and more complicated and time consuming. I played a little bit of Witch Queen and then quit once I realized the D2 I loved was pretty much all sun set and gone forever. I wish D2 was vanilla D2 through Forsaken, and that everything from Shadow Keep forwards was a “D3”.

[@rowanlaurenza8129]

I always wonder how my life would be if I started playing Destiny at the beginning. I understand that there were some bumps and bruises and a lot of people just have nostalgia but I wish I had that experience regardless.

[@SamEy3Am]

It's an experience I definitely am glad I had, but you're totally correct that people have their rose colored glasses on about it. D2 vanilla was AWFUL, but d2 of today is far and away the better game vs D1.

[@alexandremachado2019]

one thing for example tht d1 nailed and d2 is absolutely lacking is the loot chase I feek. getting an exotic or even a legendary at the start felt really good. tht mmo aspect in d2 is long gone and its very sad. I remember staying in the loot cave for hours and meeting ppl there to then do activities and vault of glass. and the feeling of a new world was super cool not knowing anything.

[@Vestilae]

Sometimes I really want to go back to D1 with a fresh account and relive all of it. It still holds up so well despite console limitations and slower gameplay. But I do wish that Bungie would outsource a D1 PC port so that we could at least experience it with higher FPS and an FOV slider.

[@Tranger1994]

Personally year 1-3 of D1 was magical. I enjoyed collecting those grimoire cards/points. Exploring all the worlds of D1 was great, beating VoG for the first time by pushing Atheon off the map with voidlocks. My team was 8th place for beating crota's end, I loved that raid even though it was generally hated. 2 manning it was so fun. I get why people say D2 is better than D1 in every way, maybe as a "game" standpoint yes, but D2 has never replicated that magic D1 had. It's not just nostalgia talking, just experience of playing both. Still hoping for that 3rd party emulation of D1 on PC, but I doubt that will EVER come, let alone an official release.

[@Choloberg93]

I played Destiny 1 since launch and have a lot of memories with the game. I remember how rare exotics were and even legendaries in the very beginning. All the OG clans too like Resolute, Bombsquad Kittens, Primal, 13 Devils

[@zero_karma0496]

I remember in D1 me and my friends every weekend would spend ~20 hours grinding trials just because it was so much fun

[@DerultimativeOzzy]

The game being unexplored and unknown in Destiny 1 was definitly a special time. I still remember in Rise of Iron where the meta for Aksis raid boss from Wrath of the Machine was everyone going with the exotic precursor of Falling Guillotine simply because it could hit multiple legs on the boss and cause more damage. But then 1 random dude goes to the Future War Cult, sees a clusterbomb rocket launcher roll being offered that week, buys it, uses it and in a raid suddenly had way more damage than the meta guys. Turned out he hit even more legs. The community went WILD that week when people heard what went on. Meta change months into the expansion simply through coincidence. Just like that. There wasn't a lack of deep dives in the community but it was just way smaller and people took it less serious.

[@BurnerFinger1]

Destiny 1 was beyond lightening in a bottle. The most addictive game I have ever played and have such fond memories of. D1 Orbit music still makes me cry a little bit, it was so hopeful and captured the majesty of space.

[@GhostKillerEntertainment]

It’s crazy to see the difference from 10 years ago. I played the Beta and had so much fun playing as a Titan. But also do agree that I wished they could have kept the original D2 campaigns (ie. Red War / Forsaken.) I know red war isn’t fondly remembered but I truly enjoyed the hell out of it and loved replay with heroic versions of the missions until they were taken out.

[@unknowngaggler17]

Hopped on and met a guy named Grzela, he introduced me to his buddies and ended up taking me through all the raids in less than 2 hours, after a bit they told me they were speedrunners and when i looked them up they all hel one to two world records and all raid records, they taught me how to wall clip and skate on titan, it was a very fun experience

Found another group the next day and beat it while using my Hawkmoon. lol... good times.

[@MediocreMiddie]

Heyya Cross! Long time FFxiv player here from my knowledge, no. Not 1 major expansion story has ever been removed to make space. The only thing that comes to mind is when the base ARR MSQ had alot of the pointless fetch quests removed and thats about it. We have maps/modes removed to fixed or updated but never truely put into a content fault

[@yamiangelous]

I mean TBF they removed all of 1.0. and they did "stream line" ARR during shadowbringers getting rid of some quests to make it faster. And like the only things they REALLY! wanted to remove was stuff people just didn't like but I think it was more "were taking out the quests so you can do it on your own instead of being locked during the story" kinda thing from what I've heard.

[@MediocreMiddie]

1.0 was a masive failure on the older devs that spear headed the project. It was only reborn from it and still got updates + fixes as ARR was being made at the sane time. Only map that hasnt returned is a pvp mode from Rival Wings (Astralogo's) But XIV has never content vaulted anything thats paid for. Only made fixes to streamline stuff which as stated above were pointless to the games overall story.

[@SuperLomik]

8:00 Destiny went through "Marvelfication", that's why D1 still looks unqiue and has that aesthetic that stands out.

[@oxsila]

Easy to say when D1 only got updated content for 2 years. It didn't go on for long enough for them to feel the need to diversify what Destiny looks like.

I personally like D1 better than 2. I’ve been grinding since the D1 Beta. I have one of each Character Maxed out with every Exotic except the Zen Meteor, on Xbox one.

I still play Destiny 1. When it comes to PvP I play it a lot. Assuming it's a good PvP game Mode like "Mayhem" or "Combined Arms" as the featured crucible mode. My two favorite modes. Still a good amount of players playing to this day. Even though I miss the fast movement in Destiny 2, I'm fine with this because it isn't fast gameplay like in Destiny 2. It's slow and enjoyable. And I forgot how much I hate snipers in Destiny 1. They dominate the crucible. So glad they kept the game running still.

One of the most hype moments I have ever had gaming so I will always keep that photo.

D1 was the first game that I bought myself and the first game that I interacted with randoms over voice chat. Gally dropped on my first nightfall with some chill LFG dudes, and I haven't had a high like that in D2, yet.

I got into destiny after its release when i saw gameplay of Vex Mythoclast. Me seeing that weapon drew me into destiny and i havent shifted since

[@CALYPSIUS11]

Petition for everyone to start playing d1 again

[@matthewhilliker]

One thing worth noting is that jumping from Halo Reach or COD to Destiny was much smoother than starting Destiny 2 today. Base D1 was very simple and still felt like a Bungie game/classic shooter. Ask someone who plays Halo Infinite or modern CODs to try Destiny 2 today, and they would struggle to understand how the game flows. Destiny 2 kind of carved its own niche and is now very unapproachable to most.

I dont have consoles anymore but still have my disc copy of D1. Im done with destiny as a whole now but will always have the last ten years of memories

[@charlessantos1639]

I still remember my first exotic ever (hawkmoon) and accidentally buying ghally when it first came with xur. Didn't even know how good ghally was till friends told me

[@davidjohnson7563]

I can see all the memories come by when he showed all those events

[@mana-azir6808]

i still go and play D1 every few weeks or so cos things feel better there pvp wise, my beloved havoc pigeon

[@jaycesmith5427]

Exotic bounties were amazing grinding w friends for juju or thorn and finally seeing the bounty drop was amazing

[@mrsargecsi]

I'll never forget getting my first GHorn. Got it from a legendary heavy engram about 2 months after the game launched.

Siva will be in Destiny Rising so I guess that’s something to look forward to lol

[@TheFirstSunbreaker]

D1 came to me when I was at a low point in life. It will forever be “my” game. And I lived the premier halo days…

I remember seeing the trailer for destiny with my brother. Thought it looked awesome. Went to my friends played it there and just fell in love with the cosmodrome. Then went to another friend and told him take out cod from the Playstation and try this. We never looked back. I got my ps4 shortly after and the best times in gaming for me. Sure the game ain't perfect but still my favorite

[@thestranger3530]

Scarab emblem was also impressive in D1. Random drop after a match win while continuing on a nine straight win flawless card.

Just jumped back in to D1 on PS5 Pro and the new enhanced PS4 mode the game looks really clean!

[@username3012]

I don't "regularly" play D1 but I play it far more than D2. I don't have any love for D2 but every time I come back to D1 it's just a good time. Recently got my friend to buy it! The entire collection is available for a only a few bucks on xbox as of at least a few days ago!
