The Golden Era of Destiny 1

I can't even lie. Making this video had me in my feelings for about 2 days straight. 2 straight days of sadness and squalor.

puts a tear in my eye, D1 was the game that introduced me to a friend of 7 years now we got to meet in person for the first time this year. this game went pass just being a game to many people i believe

[@ectomorph_7]

This sounds like a story from halo2 days 🤝🏼

[@madskrillz2]

It really did. It was the last game I actually wanted to play every single day. Had a huge group of friends that played every day too. Gaming has just felt lifeless to me since D1.

Same here! Haven’t met him in person yet but hopefully will get the chance soon! Destiny is just something else!

This is the best part of destiny. I remember when my old fireteam all got together for the first time after years playing together. I remain just as close with them today as I was years ago when we first met playing VoG for the first time. Some great fucking memories

[@WilliamXMS]

There was just something so special about this era of Destiny. Even hearing Dinklebot saying "Guardian Down" warped me back in time.

[@playsie4731]

Dinklebot will not be forgotten even though Nolan is better as the Ghost

I was like OMG that is a sound I haven't heard in a long time

[@ramzibyr]

D1 is unmatched. I feel like everyone is feeling the nostalgia for this game, do you remember the sweats beetwen iAM/BSK/Primal/God Squad ? It was just crazy and we will never get those feelings again...

[@BumpTune8462]

[@Eric-xv5eb]

The d1 nostalgia is real! House of wolves crucible was by far the best time I had in destiny 1 & 2 combined. I think that meta was the most fun and felt the best. I used to play for hours and hours and hours at a time just crucible the whole time. Now playing crucible is like pulling teeth.

[@bugmachine777]

I feel like crucible used to be more fun because it was a lot more simplistic than it is now

[@darthmaul3998]

Everything about d1 felt so surreal. Like you were actually in a hostile, alien-inhabited, post apocalyptic world… and yet it remains one of the most beautiful games I’ve played to date. The lighting and the older graphics aesthetic is just unmatched in d2. I will never have fonder memories of any other shooter

[@samafc1]

I really miss the tone set by d1 the colour and textures where so much more gritty now everything is to polished for me

[@4am446]

@@samafc1 yea that’s exactly it, it actually looked real, like if we could have d2 level graphics with d1 style it’d be so much better

[@4am446]

That’s such an issue too, in d2 there’s no post apocalyptic feel, there’s no worry about these enemies as they’re always weak and we shit on them, we haven’t taken a loss (lore wise) in the game in years. Everything about d2 just feels off

[@millionplayz7819]

@@4am446 Yeah that’s why I’m hoping we get shit on in Lightfall, let us lose, make us feel like we aren’t absolute gods compared to the enemies. It’s what made everything felt threatening in D1, it was us creating our own legend against these overwhelming foes. Now we are just known as the guy no one can beat and shit on gods for breakfast. So I am really hoping the Witness does something to make us feel just powerless against him

[@theeldestremnant258]

Why does the game look and sound and feel so much better. Like while you were in the halls you can hear everything so crisp and the different times of days on the maps. Oh man what a time to be alivr

[@thenetpagan]

Right? Guns sounds meaty and effects are great 😭

[@adroit6950]

Idk why but the jumps and glide sounded better in d1

playing d1 was my childhood, coming home from school on a friday, hopping on hard mode raids. i remember when i soloed crota, that was such an accomplishment for someone young as me

[@Lonewolf289]

Not gonna lie, I wish in crucible they would say "control, bravo team" again. Felt like I was going through a training war game. Destiny 1 was a magical thing to be a part of.

[@JCHi4697]

i love when you find something old with a bunch of ancient videos on it because you can not only laugh at how bad you used to be but also see how much you have improved

[@Bsux]

I was 3 when I started playing the beta. I was scared of the fallen that came from the ceiling in the start so I had my dad help me and I didn’t get back on for the rest of the day because he wanted to play destiny. I still play it and I’m almost 13. D1 brings back so many memories of my first necrocasm when I was 8 or my adept fate bringer at 9. I remember coming home from school everyday to play destiny or black ops 2. Good times😢

[@wraith1068]

Thanks for the nostalgia I think we all needed this. Also frost gonna be pissed 6:08

[@robbiekunert9193]

Good eyes 👀

[@ImWeedy]

came to the comments to see if anyone else noticed haha

[@TheInstinctWithinV2]

This brings me back. My girlfriend, my brother, and I actually would try trials every now and then because you could earn bounties instead of going flawless and hope for guns or armor you want. I remember shredding the whole enemy team on the bridge map with an ice breaker sniper, I felt like a god. It's significantly harder to get those hero moments on Destiny 2.

[@iamlyft]

Brings back the memories of watching your farewell montage.

[@ReapThySorrow]

I still play d1 weekly because sometimes i just sit in the tower for hours remembering all the times i've had with the friends, and it will never be the same no matter what. Destiny 1 was a game. We had so many memories, and it will always be the best. R.I.P. i wish Destiny 2 could give me these memories, but people get lives and things change.

[@rainy3144]

While I understand it means a lot to you, as it does to most of us I still think its important to spend time appreciating what we have access to rn, instead of always looking back.

[@Apollo5752353]

​@@rainy3144Exactly what I do, I still play D1. Currently guidinf a new light right now, and it's been great

Dawg brought a genuine tear to my eye. Remember so many of these from the montages and was literally calling each one. Finna go rewatch them thangs now cause of this

[@cjm261]

D1 will forever hold a special place in my heart, a full raid temas full of friends, going flawless with my highschool buddies the first week trials came out, 8hr kings fall raid day one it came out, even farming routes in the cosmodrome for glimmer and the all mighty loot cave

I quit d2 3 years ago. But when I played it, I was always opening menu, doing anything, but listening to that opening music. I hate it ngl.

Simply pure nostalgia. Thanks for the video! Been watching you since Destiny 1 and seeing the clips was awesome.

[@TheSolGuy]

Gotta love the nostolgia you captured here. D1 was a different breed of game. Also I gotta give it up for you using the original soundtrack from D1 too. I always loved the music D1 had. The mix of orchestra and choir to bring out the intense moments from such a monumentous game. All combined with the outstanding plays you've shown. Standing ovation for this. Well done! Also side note, can we all just take a moment to recognize how calm Lord Shaxx was? They usually say you mellow out as you get older but for him it's just the opposite. He's become the screaming, rampaging, ever hyped up titan we all know and love.

[@dimitriskonstadopoulos1125]

D1 was so long ago . I only remember going through the house of wolves campaign, acquiring the new supers in taken king, getting my only seventh column with stormcaller warlock and walking around in the dreadnought with my tlaloc. Thank you so much for this .

[@Ryder42]

5:30 Damn... D1 music just hits different

[@acethesniper23]

I picked up D1 after already playing D2 for around a year in order to see what the fuss was all about. Lo and behold, D1 Crucible turned out to be my favorite PVP FPS experience this side of Black Ops 2. Even though lobbies are mostly dead now, I do occasionally still hop on when D2 gets overwhelming in order to experience gems such as Steel Medulla, Longbow Synthesis, and Party Crasher :)

[@digitalseabee2012]

Man I’m glad you decided to release this. You’re an absolute riot to watch, then and now, when you decide to sweat. This video hit me in the feels…any chance you’d be willing to do a video on the tourney you were in? The one with wallah? That’s another hit me in the feels right there.
