      Even as a seasoned gamer™ getting into Destiny 2, who also played the first game years ago, there are things in Destiny 2 that confused even me, getting into it recently. Stuff like aspects are never explained, you just have to look it up online. Even some quests and item descriptions are super vague and are worded exclusively in lore-speak, so you have to look up what/who/where it's talking about. Also, literally every location on the director has a glowing yellow icon next to it, I think because of the season objectives, but even after removing the trackers (or so I thought) they are still there.
      One thing I learned in this video is that the radar has different shades of red when enemies are above/below you. I'm colorblind so I literally would've never noticed (I don't like using the colorblind accessibility options because then everything else looks funky).

I get that the problems Destiny 2 has annoy you so much that they make you ignore all the good the game has, but it's obviously gonna have a tonne of improvements that Destiny 1 can't compete with because Destiny 1 obviously is a game that stopped updating itself because a sequel was made.

      Don't feel too bad. I've been playing since Forsaken. I remember when I still didn't understand how champions worked or what champion mods did 😅. It definitely took me a minute to understand how everything worked and even longer for me to complete a raid with people.
      I remember watching a lot if videos to get a better understanding of how things worked and slowly I got a lot better at the game. I would say that if you have an idea for what you want to play as see if there is a build video for it and you can take some ideas from there.
      I can understand wanting to play solo though it can be very stressful playing with other people especially if you're doing a hard activity. I would still recommend trying it though. Try doing something simple like a nightfall so you can feel comfortable talking abd then maybe move up too a dungeon or an exotic mission so you can begin learning about mechanics.

    I had a friend who I introduced to the game, who hadn't played an FPS game before. I know, I'm a terrible friend. I got them into it, and they instantly fell in love with the graphics, lore and gameplay. It was fun to run around and shoot aliens and sling space magic. I had a new Hunter to train.
    Then the Humble Bundle sale happened. They couldn't quite buy it, so I bought it for them.
    Within a week, they had maxed out the season pass and was dying to get into a raid or dungeon.
    So we did a duo run of Prophecy. Easy Phalanx one phase, but we wiped a couple times to Kell. Once I realised they weren't using Trapper's Ambush (they had Omni on. I guess I didn't check because.. I automatically assumed they'd put it on. It was a mistake on my part as a more experienced player), I told them to switch to it, and the moment they did, we easily beat the Kell Echo. They hit almost 2mil damage with Dragon's Breath and that one Cartesian that Banshee was selling a while back.
    I'm proud of my friend, they learned so fast. I don't think I can quite call them a New Light anymore.

Now I will admit that while I'm not an absolute beginner, my fps skills are pretty below average for a typical gamer. The only one I've ever completed on my own was the latest Doom sequel a few years ago.
    Anyway the amount of times I legitimately said "wait what!?" out loud while watching this was pretty eye opening. I had apparently missed tons of seemingly important info about key gameplay mechanics and other basic stuff that may have taken me much longer to understand otherwise.

I played solo for years and finally hired a fiveer coach for pvp but really had to backtrack to fireteam and discord basics.

    Really great video! I've for sure met a bunch of blueberries in the past who clearly not only didn't understand Destiny, but struggled to comprehend games as a whole and had to be hand-held through objectives in activities.
    I feel like somewhere near the screen-adjustment settings upon opening the game it should prompt the following questionnaire to customize the learning experience based on prior gaming knowledge of each new player.
    "Have you played games in the same genre as DestinyTM before?" Yes / No / I don't recall
    "How detailed would you prefer tutorial prompts appear?" Guide Me There / Give Me Hints
    "How often would you like to receive these popups?" Always / Very frequently / Less Frequently
    I feel like this could be helpful. I can't remember for the life of me what game it was, but I once played a game that outright asked for your noob status at the start with: "Have you played games like this before?" and tailored the tutorial to meet your potential needs in the intorduction.

    7:46 Tbf, I think there’s a common sense factor when it comes to using guns that the devs shouldn’t have to explain in vivid detail.
    9:31 well, again, the devs aren’t going to accommodate for players who have no idea how basic video game mechanics work. Most gamers with somewhat common sense, and a good amount of experience, see these things really quickly and are likely the players who stick around whereas players like your wife aren’t gonna stick around because it’s likely too advanced of a game for people to get right away if they’re totally new to the video game industry, and they’re gonna get bored fast. This is why the tutorial isn’t absurdly in depth or long. It will bore the player base they’re going for who know the basic concept of aiming down sights, health bars, energy bars, crit spots, etc. this isn’t to criticize anyone, but just saying.
    9:40 well that’s the thing, you use elden ring as an example, which was a game made to be more accessible and more targeted towards new players of the souls genre. Destiny not so much, and it’s a first person shooter with very vibrant and very flashy energy bars that gamers they’re targeting will notice really quickly.

    I did get put in the box of shame during the new light campaign, but my brother told me how to get out. Then, during "Cold Boot," the mission soft locked. If my brother hadn't told me it was prone to bugging, I may have quit right there. Bugs are irritating in general, but at least experienced players are equipped to handle them. The state of the new light campaign is not acceptable, "Cold Boot soft locks frequently, everyone chooses Hunter because they look the coolest but also happen to be the least new player friendly, and the prompts and story are counterproductive and unhelpful to learning, imagine someone hearing that "Fallen thrive in the dark" and thinking it was relevant to gameplay. New light campaign needs work it will almost certainly never get.

    As a Destiny player and husband, I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I laughed out loud many times. Thank you.

    The screen bounds thing just moves the HUD closer to the middle; it doesn't put a black border around the picture or shrink the image. Lots of folks make it as small as possible to keep the hud closer in their periphery.
