it's more like they want to keep the character ...... as the PLAYER . not some kind of special character that you are playing on . Sound wierd right ....but to be in short ...it's not hard to put a few line in for the player's character but they don't for specific reason ...you know why half life was one of the best game , one of the thing is that the main character never speak , how you feel and how you think is how the character feel and think . it give you that immersive feeling like you're apart of something not just a person who is watching from out side .
If people want to get a really clean short version of the events that transpired this works. I'd recommend mynameisbyf's video for an extended version. A lot of time went into that video about what happened before and during D1. Hell bungie even featured it this week.👍
If you did the mission on the dreadnought outbound signal the cabal actually send a distress signal to the cabal empire and then you get what you see now
that's the good part. The player made the character, how the player feels, think and personality, is the character personality and how it feels and think. putting a few lines in is quite easy. but there is a reason why there are none.
MyNameisByf's video on the previous game is much more detailed and is top quality. I highly suggest anyone wanting a more in depth story of the first game to go check it out.
I don't know about the story per say but the game in general is worth playing imo. You might also wanna have a friend before jumping into it. And don't just get the base game get the game and all its dlc for like $30 way better investment
if you are really interested in the complete destiny lore in an easy to understand format then go watch Byf's complete lore breakdown. It is really long (1hr 30 mins) but it is really interesting. It just irritates me that Bungie couldn't ever implement the lore into the game, we had to go read the grim.
There are a bunch of great grimoire cards about how The Traveler might just be a dick. It may have drained the light from another race making the Hive.
Aaron Sampson Yep I keep thinking less of the Traveler the more of the Story I read, he just seems either as kinda malevolent or incredibly irresponsible and foolish
Aaron Sampson yeah, people usually say the story of Destiny sucks but if you dig deep enough you will see it's fairly decent (I really love the warminds), yet it is true that it is very hard to piece together
Ok here it is .. in destiny 2 Dominus Ghaul the main villian is after pizza maker. The guy who made pizza for him forgot to put extra pepperoni instead he puts extra pineapple.. Dominus: lets invade Earth
Literally no idea what the fuck was going on at any point in this game after watching the cutscenes I was even more confused.....Bottomline I shot anything that wasn't a Guardian.
Long story short. You're a superpowered solider who has messed around with galactic alien gods and races and needs to protect the Earth and Humanity from evil forces called "The Darkness".
1: >Mars is the home of the Cabal It's just a scout legion camping out there, this is known from the start and integral to the plot of 2. 2: >Nonsensical I don't like her plotline at all, but there literally aren't enough scenes to call it nonsensical.
You don't really need to know about the light or the darkness as bungie is avoiding that in destiny 2 after how bad it was received in d stint 1 and hell bungie didn't even have a plan for the darkness besides its bad and that it
HiiPER MaaDMaan they arent really avoiding it so much as they are limiting knowledge to it to flush out their mythos. The beta for example had Ghal mention light. The whole beta and all trailera are pretty much reflecting how the understanding of what the light is to us will be more flushed out. I believe the hive or the worms was suppose to be explained as being the darkness in D1. If this is so they might expand on the Hize mythos with the second DLC, whichever is the one not about osiris.
gravendanger no no no sir, destiny 2 will be about the light and we will not hear about the darkness at all, but destiny 3 will be all about the darkness. They're unsure what they want the darkness exactly to be, so they are saving it until they have completely decided
no dude you got it wrong. I don't know what article you have been reading but yeah it's not accurate. Destiny 2 is about light and what it means to be a guardian. as for the darkness that is to be saved mostly for another game and/or expansion.
Synthetic America well I'm half correct the darkness isn't even mentioned in destiny 2 besides a nod at the start of the game and narrater just call it the travelers ancient enemy and that the traveler vanquished it with its sacrifice so they have just basically retconed the darkness from being a looming threat and said yea it's already been defeated
How come this is a "lore you should know *before* playing destiny 2" if it summarizes all the content from the very same Destiny 2? The title clearly suggests that it would cover what happened in Destiny so you would have a background for what's to come with Destiny 2.
TH-camr "MyNameIsBYF" has an excellent 90 minute video detailing the most crucial plot points one needs to know about Destiny, and it's certainly far better than this.
Carlos Irizarry the lore's pretty dam good actually. It just annoys me that they don't put like a section in the game that holds all that lore. Or even let us play as some of the characters in the lore. It's like wasting talent or potential to me
Love Destiny 2 so far, but there are some odd plot holes and situations. 1) The main enemy is the Cabal?? Whhyyyyyy?? Only pretty much everybody kicked their tails in the first game. Cabal, and their home world were pretty much entirely bantha fodder.... Now they're all of the sudden bad ass??? Come on.... No new enemy entirely?? How lame. 2) If the Red Legion is so bad ass and were able to accomplish what The Hive wasn't able to accomplish, why didn't we see this Red Legion in the first game kicking Oryx ass and every body else's?? Where the crap did they materialize from?? Lol Maybe I'm missing something because I'm not that far into the story yet, but so far, it doesn't make much sense...
I believe the Red Legion was formed to search the stars for a new place to call home. And if they didn't find that new home in a solar system, they destroyed the entire system. Then, upon hearing the Cabal were destroyed, on Mars, they returned, and took over the Last City, trying to take the Travellers light. Or something, Idfk.
@@felixnajdowski7698 d2 new lights opening squence is the same as d1. Its just that one mission one you male it to the tower its over. Fyi for the d2 plus dlc missions go to amanda holliday she on the far right of the tower.
@@felixnajdowski7698 d2 new light puts players at the end game, before you needed to play all of d2 to male it to the tower. So it uses d1s opening scene to achieve this.
Yes go watch mynameisbyf video, it's 1.5 hours long but he explains everything really good and he shows how it makes sense. Also there is a ton more lore needed to understand the game properly that this video does not talk about.
What is your favorite part of the Destiny story so far?
What is the darkness tho?
GameSpot speaker is evil
GameSpot Cayde's chicken is my favorite part
I loved Cayde 6's Chicken
The paid content, haha.. ha.. plz send help...
I’m even more confused now
I was about to say the same thing lol. Joined a little too late I think
Everytime in the story where it looked like my guardian was supposed to say something but didn't and my ghost did I cringed. Every. Time.
Yeah. I really wish they had taken the extra time to record different female/male exo/human voicelines. Would make it feel more real.
@@camburger8263 in forsaken, that has now changed!
@@ArtifiSir Your guardian says like 3 lines in all of destiny 2 so far... All 3 in forsaken

which video are you talking about, which one should i watch to get better understanding
"A mysterious power called light."
*Never heard of it.*
"I don't have time to explain why I don't have time to explain" - bungo
"Bungo"😂😂😂😂
Too complicated, just shoot things.
Story is great in Destiny
The only lore you need to know is....That Wizard came from the moon
Owen Turk came to the comments for destiny memes, was not disappointed
Boy did he.
Owen Turk A CELL, FROM THE PRISON OF ELDERS! THE ARCHON PRIEST IS STILL INSIDE
Nah it was more....KILL EVERYTHING
If you did the mission on the dreadnought outbound signal the cabal actually send a distress signal to the cabal empire and then you get what you see now
This was so confusing the way it was worded.
after the first minute i got lost
"I could tell you..." - The Speaker
DeathSeekerism "I don't even have time to explain why I don't have time to explain"
DeathSeekerism the speaker is evil
Just give us your money and play the game don't ask questions.
The traveler is bunige
Guardians are money makers
What more do you want?
Sick dance moves. Yea.
killer piller bungie is the taken king. The guardians are taken and they don't even know it lol
story is all over the place. It better be all connecting to something big
This was awesome thanks for this! As someone who didn't play destiny 1 and wants to play destiny 2 this is really useful! Thanks! 😄
Great job catching up players new to the Destiny franchise and who jump in to Destiny 2! I wish the original was ported to PC.
Uhhhh... What?
But why doesn t my guardian freaking talk
that's the good part. The player made the character, how the player feels, think and personality, is the character personality and how it feels and think. putting a few lines in is quite easy. but there is a reason why there are none.
Your vocal chords shot ripped out by Thrall.
mine spoke..
@@dirgampar haha ur a bit late
Destiny lore you need to know: The guardians were told nothing and then they had to pay 20$ to go save the city.
Good vid Kelso. 4 Days I can't wait!
This is still to much information and I’m lost
thanks a lot this really helped clear stuff up!
I give up understanding this games lore. I will just be excited to jump back in with my squad of friends and create new memories
MyNameisByf's video on the previous game is much more detailed and is top quality. I highly suggest anyone wanting a more in depth story of the first game to go check it out.
Amazing summary.
Destiny is low key on some futuristic game of thrones shit.
“We’ve stepped into war with the Cabal on mars.” - Zavala
This is all you must know...
this video is only about what is in-game, it also needs to adress the lore outside of it
Is the complete edition of Destiny 1 worth playing solo just for the story, is the story compelling enough??
I don't know about the story per say but the game in general is worth playing imo. You might also wanna have a friend before jumping into it. And don't just get the base game get the game and all its dlc for like $30 way better investment
Honestly the story isn't in the actual game. You always had to go read about it online. Reccomend jumping into the sequel.
if you are really interested in the complete destiny lore in an easy to understand format then go watch Byf's complete lore breakdown. It is really long (1hr 30 mins) but it is really interesting. It just irritates me that Bungie couldn't ever implement the lore into the game, we had to go read the grim.
It’s Clovis bray, they developed exos
Well fuck me for trying to understand the backstory now that destiny 2 is free on game pass
this made me more confused
Destiny 2 is so fucking good OMGGG
I could tell of the darkness. I could tell you of the traveler. I could tell you of many things.... but I fuckin wont
Semper Volo God damn it Bill Nighy
Yea, that was a red flag from the get.
Ha I really love how people think the Traveler sacrificed itself, that jerk wanted to run and true hero Rasputin saved humanity
There are a bunch of great grimoire cards about how The Traveler might just be a dick. It may have drained the light from another race making the Hive.
Aaron Sampson Yep I keep thinking less of the Traveler the more of the Story I read, he just seems either as kinda malevolent or incredibly irresponsible and foolish
Not sure who the writer took influence from but Greek gods were powerful and often selfish with plenty of flaws.
Aaron Sampson yeah, people usually say the story of Destiny sucks but if you dig deep enough you will see it's fairly decent (I really love the warminds), yet it is true that it is very hard to piece together
Well in destiny 2 the traveler is the only one who can end ghaul and he does it..so idk what to say
"I don't have time to explain why I don't have time to explain", but have time to say that.
I feel like the story is so complicated that watching this a 2x will make more sense
Don't worry about the story
destiny has a coherent story!? SIKE
"I could tell you cool stories... I could tell you what you'd want to hear. But there is no time."
i don't have time to explain why i don't have time to explain
Where did you get the footage of the last city being built from? I've never seen it! Also if it's from any d2 DLC plz no spoilers.
Ok here it is .. in destiny 2 Dominus Ghaul the main villian is after pizza maker. The guy who made pizza for him forgot to put extra pepperoni instead he puts extra pineapple..
Dominus: lets invade Earth
RIP my boi the Speaker, he didn’t tell me what was going on though.
Literally no idea what the fuck was going on at any point in this game after watching the cutscenes I was even more confused.....Bottomline I shot anything that wasn't a Guardian.
Long story short. You're a superpowered solider who has messed around with galactic alien gods and races and needs to protect the Earth and Humanity from evil forces called "The Darkness".
Really the core game is very good but to much complex to find my way with quests, maps inside maps, and so on.
good
Ha, I really love how people think the Traveler sacrificed itself, that jerk wanted to run and true hero Rasputin saved humanity
just link to byf's video
Story of destiny "God is a ball made of space magic"
I wonder what score gamespot will give to D2 review.
1: >Mars is the home of the Cabal
It's just a scout legion camping out there, this is known from the start and integral to the plot of 2.
2: >Nonsensical
I don't like her plotline at all, but there literally aren't enough scenes to call it nonsensical.
Mynameisbyf is great for destiny lore
Apparently the exo stranger doesn't exist.
Now destiny 2 has destiny 1 first mission
I'm excited
Summary:
Bunch of bad guys try to destroy or take over the light.
Bunch of good guys (you) kill the bad guys.
I don't know why everyone is referring mynameisbyf when sir wallen did it first

yeah what did actually happen
I love house of wolves
Correction: Destiny Lore [that doesn't effect, in any way,] Destiny 2
Are raids in destiny 2 will have match making ?
Mario luis Bonoan nope, it's all like on D1.
Yeah it does
Its called quided games

"Traveler" in Russian is "Sputnik".
Cayde was in D1? :O
And already voiced by Nathan Fillian
Rasputin (RA-SPEW-TIN) say it with me
Me who downloaded destiny 5 years ago
If you wanna know the story go watch My Name Is Byf's video.
lore reminds me of dark souls
Wow. I missed a lot of story in Destiny 1.
Destiny has a story? Who knew...............
Crixus V2 just watched this video. Still not convinced it had a story
The narration of this feels like she doesn't care about the lore. It feels she's just reading the script to record and get it over with.
So what ? Does it ruin your day ???
Wrong, the fallen they do not want the traveler for them, they want it back.
Story? Hmmm...
Wait... Destiny has a story?

Well, you aren't a bright one are you?
no time to explain when she has not time to explain huh? makes sense got it.

sorry i snoozed off. 8 ball good
all other`s bad
and names are in this game are stupid and not repeatable like calabrimbor or mordor

They are looking for unique names. And they got them
i swear this just spoils the story a lil
