Brief note. *Any dlc that you may already own on pc or console WILL NOT swap to the opposite platform.*

[@RogerH_CxP]

You just saved me some money, some expansions were cheaper through (PC) Keys, since there is cross data, i thought maybe it'd transfer aswell, glad i didn't purchase anything yet. I'm going to have use the Black Friday Deal(s).

[@KattarAthiest]

The rupees has been saved . Thank you 😅

[@ZombieBacon13]

I paid 100$ for D2 when it came out. Not only is it now free, but the dlc that I paid extra money for isn't even in the game anymore. I'd like to play the game again but I can't justify spending any more money on it because what they did with sunsetting was absolute bs.

[@yajwells6153]

This such a valid point, why remove content as well???

[@angemoncommandexx]

Thank you very much. As a person who received years ago Destiny as part of a PS subscription, I have no idea what the hell I get nor what I'm supposed to do. So your video has helped me a lot.

[@BobDuckNWeave]

Glad to hear it!

[@thesprites9702]

Notably anything you purchase is not guaranteed to stay in the game. If you purchased destiny on release everything you paid for is literally not in the game anymore. I CAN NOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. It is not worth buying ANY content for this game because it can genuinely just be vaulted or REMOVED from the game at any time. This company does NOT respect your money. And having to pay 100 dollars ANNUALLY should not be the way you you should have to keep up with a live service game

[@midwestrebel2]

That's crazy .. I bought the game disc version when it came out on PS4. I just bought PS5 slim in wanted to try it out . I just noticed the game is free but figured all these expansion packs would cost money lol

[@gloofl]

As a d1 player that stopped playing after d2's first small dlc I've recently been missing destiny, but good god what a trainwreck all of this is (not the video, its well made and comprehensive) i was dissapointed when i came back to play beyond light (when it was on game pass) only to see all of the game i payed for originally was gone. Now its somehow worse? Entire dlc stories gone and story being locked to a season and forever gone now? What an embarrassing, greedy and nonsensical game. Im so sad to see how a series i once loved has ended up. Guess im not coming back after all.

[@WGasmss]

I’m a new destiny player (who started playing during red war and forsaken) I came back and Thais are just gone And I gotta say, ignoring the story and just doing whatever I want to do (crucible gambit, vanguard, dungeons) I just go do it and haven’t even paid attention to the story cause it’s so far gone from me that I don’t care. And trying to figure it out makes the game not fun. So if you aren’t having fun in destiny as a new player, forget that it has a story and just play it as MMO shooter looter (I have like 50 hours on just the free version) I have no reason to get the expansion I bought the 30th anniversary one for more extra stuff to do, and it’s been great. I squad up with new players and they all leave once they realize you have to buy most of the story cause they don’t realize the game is just fun, don’t even pay attention to the story.

[@midwestrebel2]

Totally agree. I'm a returning player after a couple years . I'm not spending no more money on this game learning the fact they take content out that you literally bought is crazy

[@cameroneacret7111]

Half of my hours in this game is me trying to figure out how to navigate. Like how to properly achieve the story instead of bouncing around and i don’t even know what to do? I’m always confused?

[@vapingamers]

If you own the game on PC and on Console, you need to have the same content unlocked on both platforms to play the same content. I know cause I have it on both PC and Xbox but on Xbox, I am short 2 DLC and I cant access the content or subclass. Once it goes on sale I plan on picking that up on Xbox. So again if you want to play the game, with cross platform progression, you will need the exact same content on both PC and Xbox or PS. You can still play if you don't have it unlocked, but any of the story or subclasses that are associated will be disabled. However very well done bro! An excellent breakdown and straight to the point. Destiny 2 honestly is worth it. Tons of content, tons of stuff to chase.

[@CrypticAsden]

Exactly this but this for new players that will be playing in only one platform though. It’s extremely expensive 8 year hobby that I have with having buy dlcs twice each time. Wish you didn’t have to do this but cross play and progression is costly

[@vapingamers]

@@CrypticAsden Totally agree. Everytime there is a new dlc, I swear I am only getting it for the PC lol. Never stays that way.

Honestly it's personal preference, but the witch queen is really really good, but you probably want to check out lightfall too, especially with the final shape showcase coming tomorrow

so I just bought the collection for steam from cdkeys, will I be able to play dlc on xbox if linked to same account? new pc is kinda a potato in terms of graphics and is unupgradable. I have not started yet.

[@ClubstxR]

this game worth playing as a base game ? no dlc. to play in-between games but also achieving some end game fulfillment?

[@BobDuckNWeave]

Probably not gonna get a lot of end game fulfillment, but it'll keep you busy in between games and if you spend enough time in there maybe you'll feel like buying a DLC or two, a lot of them are cheaper now than when I made this video

[@Jell0zz]

Crazy how this game is basically 30(60) + 50(100) = 80 to 160$ to get into, knowing they're going to do another 50-100$ dollar expansion. That's hogging quite a bit of the videogame budget...

[@BobDuckNWeave]

@@Monkeyman-qt1sm sadly yeah, if you want to try and do the current season pass you'll probably be best getting the Lightfall deluxe as they're about to put the price of each season up from 1000 to 1200 silver which is a whole nother thing, if you're unsure though maybe just grab Witch Queen for now and then worry about the dungeon key later if you're still playing

Nice video and break down dude. Hats off to you. Destiny is a weird one as I don’t like a lot of there business model with this game. Having story driven Season passes with some passes you can’t get now being a new player and have to watch a KZbin video blows my mind and is crap lol 😂 having it free to play is a nice olive branch but ultimately for getting a free to play game your still dropping well over a 100 quid nearly creeping up to 200 which is madness lol 😂 Though I’ll admit it’s got a lot of content 😂

[@BobDuckNWeave]

Thanks so much! And yeah I pretty much agree with everything you said there, going to be interesting to see how much of the model carries over to Marathon & beyond The Final Shape

[@jellyguides]

@@BobDuckNWeave Yh I’ll definitely just watch from a distance. To give them credit I feel they are a bit screwed either way though. Getting new players on to a game makes sense and definitely helps with longevity. But if they made more and more of the content free for new players it’s a slap in the face for the original players that had to pay for everything. But at the same time it isn’t really a free to play game lol 😂 at least not in the traditional sense as the worth while parts of the game are blocked off unless you drop those money bags 💰 But either way bud great video keep up the good work 😎😎😎😎😎

[@drakewicker2999]

So no campaigns are free

[@danielcorey-wc5ct]

I was extremely smart about Destiny. How much the game was in the expansions all the way back when it came out was absolutely ridiculous. I officially bought Destiny one to taken King came out on my 360 and then when iron Banner came out I bought the collection on Xbox One and then with Destiny 2 I haven't touched anything about it just because knowing Destiny 1 came out not only 2 years but that's just ridiculous I know the money they were asking was absolutely ridiculous I would wait in the long run. Knowing I waited and watching so many people waste their money and bitching satisfies me

[@juanlara3095]

Should I get the witch queen or lightfall they’re both around the same price right now ?

[@BobDuckNWeave]

it depends on what you want to experience, if you go straight to Lightfall you'll miss a lot of context for the story, but with Lightfall you'll get the Strand subclass, generally though I'd say Witch Queen first then Lightfall, but that's a decision you'll have to make unfortunately

[@LittlestBun]

[@gtx-xh5hy]

Is sad that a lot of story missions are not available any more 😅. What is the reason for that?

[@jorgecabral4591]

Technical difficulties a couple years ago. There were a lot of activities, locations, side quests, etc that limited the use of the game’s engine. Around the time this was removed from the game, they started to implement the seasonal model instead of a expansion model, meaning that they would be adding more content to the game at a faster pace. When Beyond Light came out they would need to upgrade the engine because of new features added into the game. All of this combined lead to the removal of the oldest content on the game (year 1 and 2 story content, year 1 expansions, side quests, some destinations, raid content and so on) Since then. They’ve managed to upgrade the engine good enough for them to no longer needing to remove any more content from the game outside of rotating seasonal content each year. So, they’re not removing any expansion content anymore :)
