Why is "Everyone"still playing? 🤣 don't get ahead of yourself there.

[@Chaos_L3gion]

A couple of quality of life updates would be good but not changing the supers, they were setup for each class to have there role and each doing one thing better instead of one class dominating the other 2, titans were one of the best support class at the start now and D2 they are virtually useless compared to the other 2 classes, warlocks were great add clear and boss damage now they can dominate the other classes without breaking a sweat, hunters were support/dps now most just use them in crucible and trials instead of in pve. Personally I love D1 more then D2 I just wish there was a Oceania server due to poor connection with anyone not in Australia.

[@ModuliOfRiemannSurfaces]

The thing that always surprises me is how much more realistic the art direction and lighting in D1 are.

[@hurtchain5844]

The lighting has always been a big part of d1 appeal. All the shadows and bright lights seem to hit perfectly. Compared to d2 where all lightning is done with these ugly fuzzy meshes. Makes everything look drab and muted all the time.

[@scotwolf7826]

D1 art was just better

[@Melty-K]

Armor and weapons in D1 looked realistic, D2’s look plain and generic

[@lordgrub12345]

I agree. The grittier artstyle of D1 is very appealing, and while D2 might be a better overall game, the artstyle of D1 is better, in my opinion.

[@DerpyDimentio]

​@@Melty-K they leaned quite a bit away from the original sci fi designs from OG D1. A lot of the new designs of gear even in sci fi based seasons look too theme-ey. It's hard to explain properly but seasons gear looks like they came out of a fourth wall breaking portal to match the theme of the season instead of gear that looks like they were created and belong in the world of destiny.

[@Shadowub1590]

Started playing D1 when i was 15. Feels like a lifetime ago. I still remember I was grinding for the exotic swords in the heroic version of The Sunless Cell strike, trying to defeat the yellow bar nights within 30 seconds of killing the boss. Right after school, every day, I tried to get the boltcaster style one. Once I finally got it, the feeling was euphoric! To go back to a time before covid, before work, before politics, before responsibilities... I would give up a lot just for an hour on that day.

[@only_isaak]

When I was little I watched my dad playing destiny and thought it was the coolest thing ever, I remember how excited he was to get good loot, this year I asked if I could reinstall destiny on his ps5 so I could see the state of the game now, it absolutely shocked me and my dad to know that people still love and play this game

[@ShadowDestiny]

that is awesome

[@Primeditz]

Destiny 1 released when I was 6 years old and my dad always allowed me to have my own character on his account until I got my own Xbox account for Christmas in 2016. I’ve had the same Guardian since.

[@random75491]

Crazy part is, most people that played D1 probably still have loot to chase. The exotics are so rare. That creates incentive. I jumped in the other day and found some guys going for exotic swords and they helped me finally get my dark-drinker. Was at Xur at 10am to get Zhalo Supercell for the first time (he actually had it). Currently farming skeleton keys for a god roll imago loop. Having fun building up my hunter and titan as I exclusively mained warlock in D1.

I had pretty everything I wanted in d1 thing d2 comes out and we lose everything

[@kodemasterx]

Bungie has a mismanagement problem, Warframe came out a year and half before D1 and yet, Digital Extreme managed to evolve the game in a single client, 10 years worth of content packed into a single game, works even on mobile devices, I do not say this to start any drama but as a former D2 player who moved on to a similar style game I can't help but to compare the two. I love Destiny but unfortunately, I grew tired of paying for content that would be removed in the end, I want to replay year 1-3 content plus many of the seasons that were phenomenal but how can we?

[@gvdude]

Very good point with Warframe

[@joelupa2558]

I asked a kid in my neighborhood to lend me $20 to buy this game at launch. Im 23 now and its the best decision of my life. Such a good game and community

[@joelupa2558]

Oh and to add…destiny 2 i dont like at all lol

[@MuscledRMHv2]

The worlds of Destiny 1 are so much immersive than anything that Destiny 2 ever produced. The worlds felt more alive, not necessarily due to world activities but more so because of the details and artistic designs. It has more of "realistic" sci-fi look instead of the cartoonish outlandish extremely colorful approach Destiny 2 has. Also while the story wasn't great it all, it still felt serious while in Destiny 2 I just can't take it that serious anymore. The Destiny 1 worlds in Destiny 2 just feel lifeless in comparison. Just look at comparisons and you immediately see how the worlds are objectively better detailed in D1 (including sound effects in the world). The grind in Destiny 1 also felt more rewarding, not because it had better reward paths but because of how exciting it was to get an Exotic due them being actual Exotic, both in power and availability.

[@aquatic682]

[@Banditnova]

This right here this how I feel

[@PanoptesDreams]

I have to hard disagree with the "Destiny 2 versions of D1 content is better" Every single time they've added it they've made compromises or changed the narrative. As for the Raids, they added champions. Nuff said.

[@gagewesterhouse9558]

If Bungie had any sense, they'd put D1 on PC and open up crossplay. It would extend D1's lifespan for years, generate some easy cash, and garner Bungie some sorely-needed goodwill among gamers.

[@rededd0196]

On point

[@GeorgeMikhael-y4o]

The issue with that is exactly like you said. It requires sense on Bungie’s end.

[@loone3100]

I feel that strikes in D1 are much more enjoyable and rewarding than in D2 which is partially why I enjoy playing it so much. I’m not sure why, but it’s easier for me to just play strikes for hours on end and always looking forward to the rewards in Destiny 1, something I find particularly lacking in 2

[@jaylenharris343]

I agree, I use to play strike for hours back in the day. The strike specific loot definitely helped.

[@Murdamessiah83]

It is because of how they changed the loot system. There is no dopamine drip at the end of a strike unless it’s a NF. You just get rep and engrams to go to a vendor and roll on certain things. D1 had it down with the strike specific rewards and the addition of the keys. I’m a PvP guy myself but in D1 I did pve much more than I ever did in D2. All of the content feels like an inconvience.

[@Murdamessiah83]

They also started to add an almost childish level of humor starting with taking the super mysterious Xur and the 9 and turning it into a silly game show. Trials with saint is thematically goofy. They went the direction of Thor love and thunder/guardians of the galaxy. Went downhill from there

[@OmarRubenstien]

I really love D1's atmosphere: the growls in the dark and the dripping of water in the tunnels under the moon, rain on Venus, blowing dust on Mars. You really feel like you are there on another planet. And, no Nimbus to be found anywhere.

[@DestindKnee]

Night and day in Cosmodrome is always awesome to me

[@zeuscaboose7202]

Vaulting anything as far as content is fucking stealing I’m honestly pissed I can’t do the Levi raid anymore and I genuinely want a refund if I can’t enjoy the game I paid for

[@starkraven1148]

No matter how good there expansions are final shape and on, nothing they have added fills the voip of loosing that content and locations. The game still feels very hollow to Me. I’m extra pissed because i bought all the expansions after shadowkeep when they went “free to play”. A year later and boom all gone.

[@danielclark-hughes692]

Agreed

[@dimaslazi2440]

That’s the main reason why I left Destiny 2. No compensation for buying the base game when it wasn’t free and any early dlcs that were vaulted. Also having a battle pass and seasons was the last nail on the coffin for me. I loved the story but forcing you to play constantly to avoid FOMO is ridiculous, so I quit.

[@Gellus-C]

Bruh I actually liked Eater Of Worlds. They took so much from us

[@Mattius08]

Agreed. I got Destiny 2 day one, bought the DLCs up to Forsaken. They removed it after I paid for it. Stopped playing it Plus all the DLC is confusing, don't know if they have been vaulted or not

[@ExitScam]

Would kill for a Destiny 1 remaster. Drop a DLC from it every 2-3 months and lock us in for a good year.

[@henkaan7741]

I'd really like a Destiny 1 remastered, not because I miss the D1 content, but instead because I miss the feeling of Destiny 1 (and I don't think that's just nostalgia talking) Destiny 1 and Destiny 2 are very different games at this point. D2 is basically a full-on MMO with a major focus on abilities, builds and super chaotic gameplay, where as D1 is more of a shooter with some light RPG elements, and it's just way less complex overall. Don't get me wrong, I obviously love the power fantasy and buildcrafting in D2, but i also miss the simplicity and vibe (both in gameplay and art direction) of D1. Destiny 2 can almost be a bit TOO much at times imo. Sometimes I'd rather play an RPG-lite shooter over an MMO, so a D1 remaster sounds great to me. But just a PC port would be fine too.

[@prakticher]

My opinion is to let him like this , and only add new content not remastered, bcoz will ruin the game

[@shackroof3817]

The people who say it’s nostalgia are the ones who haven’t got back to d1. legendarys felt legendary and exotics felt EXOTIC and weapon crafting ruined destiny and if d2 had pc port with cross play lots of people would play destiny 1

[@NepFan485]

Modernizing an old game won't do well especially if they put woke garbage in it like they did with D2 I think I'd rather play a game from a great year where that filth never existed.

[@wxl2562]

As a somewhat active member of the D1 community, the reason it's still alive and kicking is because: while people may argue that the QOL of D2 and mass amounts of content may make it a "better" game (debatable), people genuinely enjoyed the story, natural progression, locations and overall aesthetic of the original game. There's nothing wrong with liking one game over another, but I'm glad that the people who prefer D1 > D2, have stuck with it and don't force themselves to play D2 just because others say it's the "better" option and is still supported. Also, underline that last part. The fact D1 isn't supported anymore, is an especially big factor because it means people can go at their own pace and focus on other things, without feeling like they have to play the game on a routine basis. Which is a big problem with the "progression" and current live service content moto in D2. Even in the past, D1 didn't really have this problem, aside from events, which really felt like true "events" and offered items that can't be obtained anymore. So if you still have your event items and Trials gear, kudos to you. Edit: also, replayability. Destiny 1 has a traditional, linear story experience and at any given time, you can make a new character and restart. The Exotic Archive is locked until level 20, but because Exotic drops are still active in endgame, you can go for a "natural" progression feel if you so choose. D2 basically gives you an abundance of free loot from the start and Legendary drops are immediate, they give you the choice of playing through individual campaigns, first, or jumping straight into endgame content even as a new player. This is wild to me, tbh. In NO game, should you boost new players as fast as D2 does, which really proves Bungie only cares about selling DLC and cosmetic items nowadays. It still breaks my heart that there's no way to play through the series in its entirety. Once you finish Rise of Iron, you jump straight into Beyond Light, skipping the Red War, Warmind, Curse of Osiris and Foresaken. Which is a really bad way to get new players invested into a series, because I'm a strong advocate for pushing people to start with the first game in a series or something that can serve as an introduction to the story. Destiny 2 and Bungie in-general suck at this and providing a proper, "full," new player experience.

[@noelpencz8839]

[@SJthehero27]

Before the Sony buyout, I could have imagined a D1 Classic would have been a possibility, but I doubt it could happen now. Especially since they’d have to go back and work with the even worse/older version of the Tiger engine, which god only knows who is left there that actually knows how to work with it, let alone deal with its issues. I’ve actually been going back to play D1 myself, currently on the 360 (planning to go on XB1 once I do enough and copy my save) and I’m genuinely shocked how much fun the game still is! As much fun as build crafting can be, gunplay always felt more satisfying and D1 delivers in that immensely. It also helps that guns don’t feel totally useless if you don’t have the absolute best perks on them. I haven’t played D2 since the final story mission for TFS came out 6 months ago, and it hurts me knowing that D2 left me so jaded for so long that I forgot how much I genuinely loved and enjoyed playing D1.

[@Hardrive2677]

I remember telling a group of friends who I play Destiny 2 with, that if there was a game that I could go back to play and never really put down. It would be Destiny. Both of them. I played the betas for D1 and D2 plus just the Vanilla campaign. But unfortunately the original group that I was going to play with. Dropped the game almost immediately. Since at the time a 'Live Service Game' wasn't really around and they couldn't wait for the content drops. Meaning I missed all the DLCs for D1 and didn't get back into D2 until near the end of Season of the Risen during Witch Queen. Watching this really makes me want to go back and play D1 and all of its DLC since I didn't get to do it when they originally came out

[@Freelancer837]

No Destiny 1 Classic/Remastered. Turn on Iron Banner, Trials of Osiris, and the holiday events, cross save, crossplay, and a PC port. These are the only things Destiny 1 absolutely needs. We don't need remastered graphics because D1 looks better than D2. We don't need D2 gameplay features because D1's gameplay is better than D2. Even an FPS boost isn't really needed. 30 fps is not bad despite what people say, and even D2 has damage that scales with fps, so it would only be a detriment as D1 would probably suffer from the same issue. FOV slider would only be needed if the game comes to PC because low FOV is better for TV screens away from you for consoles, but PC monitors right in front of your face are better for high FOV.

I want to mention something about how the Destiny franchise just doesn’t feel the same as it used to. I remember back when they made changes to the loot system and I was annoyed, even though I was a relatively new player I could see that making the game easier dries out the game and takes away from the fun of the grind. It’s like oh yay I got another god role and 4 exotics in 2 hours. Destiny as a franchise use to have such a difficult loot system that it would take players ages to even acquire a single exotic. I miss the secrets, the thrill, the endless grind for one exotic.

[@IllegalC4]

[@seannapier2298]

Another thing that D1 has over D2 is the bounty system in that you can take your time getting them done and pick up more anytime you wish as long as you have the space. Compare that to D2 where bounties have an expiration date and you have to hurry to complete them or risk losing you progress; this is especially outrageous for holiday bounties that feel extra grindy for that reason.

[@SuperKamiHemo]

There is definitely a difference in the feel of gunplay in d1, from the kickback of a hand canon to the effect of shooting a thrall. To even the behavior of enemies, it plays more like halo than d2 does .

[@danteiscool203]

Love D1 it’s my favorite game and I also played D2 recently, and the only thing I’d like to change is to able to get iron banner and trials armor again. Don’t make the subclasses similar to D2, nor the build crafting, nor the constant rotation of vaulted and meta weapons, D1 has its own unique features and one of them that. Realy like is that almost everything is viable. Sure there are meta weapons and strategies in the end game but for the most part you don’t need to optimize every little nook and cranny of your you build to be effective, you don’t need to worry about 30 different types of synergies between your armor perks and exotics. You can simply equip whatever you want and play the most of the game that way.

[@stevegaspar]

D1 was about potential. Sure D2 has many quality of life aspects that are definitely better than D1 but D1 is by far the superior game. This is when the gunplay was fresh and new. Now many games even COD has gunplay thats amazing. It also wasn't ridiculous puzzle heavy. Sure things to solve but it wouldn't take the best players in the world 30+ hours to beat a raid etc. Getting a weapon you wanted was like Xmas and was exciting everytime. Now, and moreso with crafting, all the weapon excitement is gone. Anyway D2 sucks and has for years. D1 will always be a special game

None of the Primaries from the Raids in D2 Feel "Special" when u get them from Raids because they only appear in the Special slot making it impossible to run all three base elements like u can in D1 which is honestly a real shame, as it makes Raid primaries feel far less rewarding..

I’ll never stop playing Destiny 1. ❤️‍🔥

[@izaancaughtin4k]

Bro is finally back! 🎉❤ We missed you broo

[@ch1ck3n195]

Man, I wasn't there to be veteran of D1, but I bought the collection for 25 dollars on playstation, and it was the best thing I could've bought with it.

[@PanoptesDreams]

"You need to have your best gear on" WRONG, THIS IS WRONG. You need your best gear on your person, this was a QoL update from Rise of Iron's launch. This is easily demonstrated by putting a high light item into your inventory, you will notice all other drops being majorly skewed in light level preventing you from equipping them until a higher level. The side effect of this is it discourages veterans from putting high level items on low level toons, lest they get gear they can't use for 1-2 levels.

[@MuttyBX]

Looks like it's time for me to hop back on D1, got a new account and bought all the expansion.

[@papamilfz1565]

Cause destiny 2 failed us. I don’t know if I even wanna go back into Destiny 2 bro frfr. The game awards are today and I’m just so hype for the new games. That being said I’ve been on destiny 1 even to this day on my ps4

[@soseaztnezd1]

would love to see an improved version of D1: climb up on ledges, 60fps, no sprint cooldown - These would be enough. No armor2.0, no artifact, no crafting, no D2 subclass system.

[@guillermopacheco5005]

I’ve played Destiny since vanilla D1. I can’t ever see myself going back. The quality of life , builds , crafting , updated graphics and so on make it a no go for me

[@keirhunter5029]

I was 11 when D1 came out. Great memories on the game and continue to play it till this day. Just wish they had kept Trials and iron Banner in the game

[@quill-j6s]

I'm really glad bungie decided to keep D1 alive after all this time instead of sunsetting it like early D2. These two games have now practically separated into 2 different genres due to D1 no longer being live service. D1 stays fixed while D2 stays constantly evolving, creating a much simpler and stable experience that I can appreciate.

[@soldado23]

I played Destiny 2 before D1. Then CBgray decided to collect all exotic weapons and armor and I started to play D1 during that time. Great experience even knowing it was 30 fps. But the game felt awesome!! I recommend new players to give it a try.

[@iwaskillcam1434]

Because weapons were far more forgiving and balanced and made to be fun. D1 didn’t have ability spam & special weapons didn’t rule PvP like they do in D2

[@Wafrie01]

Lets be honest here. Felwinters lie and matador used to dominate pvp. Blink and shotgun was literally the meta before the taken king. That along with plan c, pocket infinity.

[@iwaskillcam1434]

@ maybe but you could actually play the game without only dying to special weapons. Now I’ll play whole matches & never die to a primary weapon & it’s ridiculous

[@andrewjones9690]

Wrath of the Machine - still to this day is my favourite Raid.

[@evocaeden2932]

Points I'd like to make: 1 - Sales are not the norm, so saying that a $150 collection CAN be on sale for $52, is not really genuine since there won't always be a sale on, especially for Bungie's current primary breadwinning game. 2 - You say that a lot of Destiny 1's content is currently in Destiny 2, and it's kinda true, but not really. The New Light experience is a really hamfisted modification of the first act of Destiny 1's main campaign. But since it's set in D2, you don't get all the important moments like waking the Hive, reviving Rasputin, discovering the Vex, etc. And sure, Crota's End, King's Fall and Vault of Glass are in the game along with a handful of strikes. But there is no context for any of them, they're just there to fill out the Free to Play playlists. 3 - What players want has nothing to do with how difficult it is for Bungie to accomplish it. But the true issue is that Bungie doesn't have any real say anymore with the future of their own development. I fear they won't even be able to remain in control of D2, nevermind revive D1.

[@Jellysmish]

all they realisticly need to do is remove the fps cap and add the ability to adjust video settings similarly to how halo infinite has, add an fov slider and allow it to be played via the xbox app on pc

[@DestindKnee]

2:31 "Crafting" is fairly new in D2. We didn't get it until WQ in 2022

[@Invizeron]

The 350 Siva playlist and all strikes match-make with people of similar light level. So if you're not 400 or close to max the match-making is dead. At 400 strike lobbies fill up almost immediately. It's pretty dumb they don't allow lower light players to match with higher ones, as it negatively impacts their experience.

[@FujiwaraDF]

D1 is fun thats why XD

[@joshuablanchette878]

when Devil's Lair came out in D2, it was very apparent who had played D1 when matchmaking.

[@DestindKnee]

Yup. If they dont instantly hop on sparrow, they new

[@makaveliba4243]

Destiny 1 ended at its absolute peak, D2’s peak can be debatable at any given moment

[@brandondean5680]

Destiny 1 has personality, the raids felt like actual raids, pvp was balanced. Just better overall

[@brigadierbishy3867]

Still playing, people are still setting times, raiders are still carrying. Very fun stuff.

[@Tirpitz7]

I occasionally hop in to play the classic Strikes playlist. I wear the Alchemists Raiment so I have a steady supply of heavy ammo dropping. My biggest gripe with D1 is not being able to have a Scout Rifle and Auto Rifle equipped at the same time.

[@aidenation101]

I think if they ever do a D1 classic/remaster, they should add all of the vaulted stuff from D2 into it as well, but keep the same gameplay mechanics from D1 as they are. Then we’d really get to see the vision of what Bungie wanted to do for this game, since If I remember correctly, they didn’t even want to make a Destiny 2

[@hatake4500]

doing a legacy type game could be a good opportunity to also re-release old d2 content

[@jeffhorsley7034]

All I know is I have gone back to d1. And forgot how much I loved it. D2 has lost its shine these days. Sometimes nostalgia is worth going back to. I forgot how much grinding d1 was. I didn’t realise how much I missed it lol. D1 is definitely worth going back to. It’s just a shame I can’t get a team to raid with. I miss those days a lot.

[@ETU187]

Haven’t played D1 since D2 launched only because I lost my disc. Previous price tag wasn’t justifiable but $20 brought me right back. Can’t lie tho, the QoL changes in D2 are a god send. You touched on a lot of it. But man the game is beautiful, it still feels good to play. Nightfalls are brutal esp with no healing capabilities. But man I’m having so much fun. Much better then the bug fest we have now

[@celebril]

Why do I still play? No vaulting. Eververse is a secondary thing. It works just fine on cloud play, so I play it on my PC. I’m not nickel-and-dimed to death just to play the game.
