Holy shit dude you're right

Do you think the Traveler gave us 3 classes, because when it first encountered humans, it found 3 individuals? :O

Could you imagine the lore behind the first three Guardians?

[@ewanharvey8924]

You have to, Bungie won't tell you anything, ever. *returns to grinding Calcified fragments*

They're not Guardians. They're the first people who met the Traveler. Also there's like an interview with these people in the Grimoire.

[@infiniteyou]

The music just invokes mystery and mysticism. I love it. Ive had it stuck in my head all day. Haha.

[@SgtR3ynolds]

I remember from the 1977 animated Hobbit movie, when the dwarves were singing "Misty Mountains", Gandalf and Bilbo were discussing the magic in the music and how it moved through them. I had the feeling when the title came up. No other game has done that to me.

[@tipoomaster]

SgtR3ynolds The first three Halo games definitely did, back when Marty was the composer.

[@SgtR3ynolds]

As good as Marty was and is, I didn't get that "magic" feeling from it.

[@lejenddairy]

People criticize Destiny's story at launch, but I actually liked it a lot better. I liked it because the story was more of a mystery and wasn't clear to where you knew and then grew board of it. I liked it when you were a guardian starting off in the universe of Destiny and everything was a mystery to you. Those were the times. It wasn't just "get to the point". It kept you thinking. That also made the lore better, because you had to dive deep to learn more and more about the story. At least the Darkness is still a mystery to us, considering we don't know much about it. I much look forward to the darkness now. It's boring when you know everything about the Fallen, the Hive, the Vex, the Cabal, and the Taken. I remember the first time playing Destiny 1 and I was on Mars, as soon as the door opened up and I saw the cabal, I was like, "wow, this fuckers are big". Especially with the Cabal theme in the background. Good times.

[@stealthhunter6998]

I miss the old Destiny. The gameplay was new, simple, fluid, and it worked. I would spend hours after school cashing in daily bounties, jumping from planet to planet grinding patrols and leveling up my supers, while sipping an ice cold Mtn Dew. The story (plus Taken King) were awesome, and the fanbase was cool too. New Destiny lacks that old charm; but, that might just be the nostalgia talking. And after pushing back all the darkness I could for countless hours, I would return to the Tower, in the shine of the moon, and gase up at the Traveller as Ghosts zipped by, starships made port and left again, and fellow guardians walked about playing with the purple ball or trying to climb the flags.

Against the odds of poor leadership Bungie did it. They gave us the 10 year plan. It was a wonderful journey with it's numerous highs and lows

[@pizzaluvah198]

Damn. How am I feeling nostalgia for something only 4 years old?

[@gavinferguson2938]

Nearly 10 years later. At the verge of the final shape, at the foot of the witness, before we transcend both light and dark. I think finally understand that symbol. Its the merging of a triangle and a sphere. With three points like a triangle, but each curved like a sphere. The small oval shape in the middle, is presumably us. The travellers final shape, one that transcends the previous allowing for infinite complexity. This was our destiny.

Too bad the rest of the game can't live up to this amazing intro

[@simonganley9963]

Nah, it went through a rewrite, which called for a major restructuring. Games in development hell are the ones that have been in development for years upon years - Such as Duke Nukem Forever, which was released about 12+ years after its initial announcement, I believe.

Nah dude the games lack of story telling made it feel like you had really just woken up without a clue as to what’s going on. It gave the game mystery and magic, leaving the player to wonder what beautiful or horrific secrets the alternate world of destiny had in its background and history

[@carkindozin]

jordan olsen its also cuz they didnt know how to fit all the lore into the story so they used grimiore cards

This cutscene never Ceases to amaze me. Can you imagine being one of those three space explorers? Going to Mars, walking that distance, finding the Travaller, seeing it Rain on Mars.
