7 Years of Destiny and Youtube - Datto's Destiny 2 Retrospective (So Far)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ก.ย. 2024
- May 23rd, 2020 will mark the 7th full year of this channel, with me entering my 8th year doing TH-cam and livestreaming, 7 of those being full time. It's been 3 years since my last retrospective and with us heading into the unknown this coming fall, well, it's time for the next rendition of The Retrospective.
This is not a complete review of Destiny 2 thus far, but rather a look back at my experiences with Destiny 2 and the channel. I try to recap each season and period of Destiny 2 within this video.

This happens every year. The thing is, are we going to just come back next season or are we going to actually teach bungie a lesson
@@shebdjsnwddjdnbssjbdbdbejd5589 didn't happen last year
Giga Olive - I have no doubt those screaming the loudest will be back with the new expansion. To your point, this does happen every year and most are back. And if this expansion is as big and bold as most are speculating, the entire franchise will be reinvigorated.
They certainly proved that the game isn't worth our time thats for sure, the game right now is approaching D2 Y1 levels of trash again.
@@shebdjsnwddjdnbssjbdbdbejd5589 The lesson is being presented but Bungie isn't learning. They are keeping the game alive (in varying degrees every season) but they aren't thriving. If they keep going along at half steam and only delivering proper content once a year eventually Destiny will die. Which is sad
Destiny is just such a wierd game. Sometimes its the best thing I've played, and the other times it feels broken and not worth it (like right now).
Yeah, honestly I still think it’s a good game I just don’t play it constantly. When I do choose to play it’s usually when it’s in a really good spot
It’s like an abusive relationship. I’m tired of it. It makes you feel like Bungie is taking advantage of your hype. I’m not letting myself be disappointed anymore, so from now on I’m just not buying stuff when it comes out. I made that mistake with shadowkeep and this season
Weird*
Adrian Guerrero if you truly think that then you know nothing about this game, there are plenty of opportunities for powerful and pinnacle gear
Agreed
What an amazing video. I too mark events in my life based on the seasons of Destiny. I appreciate the utter honesty and realization the old path you were on was not sustainable nor healthy. Happy to hear you and your SO are doing well and you are on a new, balanced way forward. This video for some strange reason hit me in the feels. I remember where I was listening to your video about depression. and moving from LA to Seattle, I felt for you, even though we've never met. When "Destiny" is all said and done in 2024(?) I think we will all look back and appreciate the good times, the laughs, the raids and know there was always a dark haze over this franchise that seemed to never lift, but that in itself is what makes Destiny, Destiny. Thank You.
Thank you dato for great times watching streams,videos and everything. I hope you can continue to give us all a good times with the content.
Imagine being so good that you are devastated after you and everyone gets the raid exotic on the day one completion but find out you didn’t get first. I feel really bad about that but i just kind of think like if I get the raid exotic on the first try, I’ll be stoked. I get that the world first race and completion is way more exciting. I and everyone else knows that you’ll get that worlds first completion eventually, it’s just a matter of time. I appreciate you and all the hard work you put in.
Still the best Destiny TH-camr. Datto, you’ve helped me a incredible amount in Destiny 1 and 2, tysm.
Great video, and I don't want look disrespectful here, but the best part by far is when you start talking about your relationship.
So happy for you guys, and I wish you all the best.
You’ve done us proud bro, destiny wouldn’t be the same for me without you g
Happiness is key to everything. Great content, thanks for the nostalgia
thanks for all the memories, Dad
Been playing the whole time. Not as good as it once was but Im still here.
started this game as a new light player, seemed fun and deep... guess I won't be playing it after this video. thanks for saving me time and money! really
46 minutes? Oh yeah this is gonna be good
The fact that you listed two suns players as infamously coming up short to a championship hurts my soul.
Trials of Osiris into Taken King in D1 was my golden age. Now all the boys are gone and the game is a meme
Good vid. Change title to "How Datto Lost His Virginity at E3". Proud of you.
i stopped playing the game around the time of season of the drifter and unsubscribed to most of the content creators both on ytube and twitch just because it didnt want it flooding my sub feed anymore. however i still stay subbed to you because i enjoy your content and opinions about the game. keep up the good work.
*sniffles* our boy is all grown up
Been gone from the game since Last Wish dropped. And after watching this, am still gone. xD
I love you man
Can we talk about that FF:X, Tidus poster you have? Looks like a silkscreen? Where'd ya get it, I want one.
Man, feels like not a lot has changed since Season 10.
There's... So much Bungie needs to do to fix things, and I feel like they're sabotaging themselves.
Sometimes I wish we could just go back to when TTK or ROI was released. It seems so long ago
I listened to the whole thing, and I don’t regret it, I’ve always been a fan, one of the best youtubers, you’re the best datto, keep it up.
Couldn't have said better. I don't care if Datto deviates or even completely gives up on Destiny 2 content, even though this might be highly unlikely ; I'll still watch his vids. At the end of the day, it's not only about the community's will, it's about yours. If you don't enjoy what you're doing then you either change something for the good or you simply give up and start from scratch. Hope everything will be okay for him!
Preach!
You sound like me. I don't blame you for letting go of Destiny 2.
We can't go back to D1 as much as it's still fun. They've killed the game we loved.
Father Mark there's surprisingly a good amount of people still playing that game
_Definitely_ a *positive rating* from me! *Datto* says things like they _are._ *Datto* is no blind sheep who swallows anything Bungie puts out regardless of the quality of content. *Datto* is no _apologist_ who preaches on the net "BE GLAD THAT YOU GET TO PLAY THE GAME AT ALL!" No, *Bungie* has _only themselves_ to blame for the countless errors they have made during the 7-year journey *Datto* reminisces on in this video. The 244 👎s (28 May) are obviously from morons, as *no* _valid_ negative argument against this video can be mounted.

I love how the beginning of this video went. I “grew” up watching you when I played destiny. Even more for videos that I didn’t even “needed” to watch. I just enjoyed how you carry yourself off as a person. I stopped playing destiny 2 and lost hope but you, strangely, I still watch as much as I did the first time I found you. Keep grinding datto. It’s fun seeing how far you’ve come and me and my friends talking about destiny nostalgically and always mentioning you and your blue quality sparrows and optimal dps guides and only having smiles and laughter. Love you.

It's not so much about losing hope, it's just a game.

Destiny truly is THE strangest and most inconsistent game I've ever played, with the highest highs and the lowest lows.
As a Devil's Advocate type whose motto is "expect nothing and you'll never be disappointed", I always have hope for this game. I've quit Reddit and I'm not on Twitter, and I find that staying away from those mountains of salt has considerably improved my experience. Everyone should always form their own opinions on content instead of piggybacking off of the general perception. I think that would improve everyone's enjoyment of the game considerably. That being said...
I think I qualify as a bit of an apologist, but I would really love to see what goes on from a decisions perspective inside Bungie. It's clear that they're very stressed right now, what with the pandemic and their cut workforce and a legion of angry gamers lambasting them at every opportunity, although not without reason (and sometimes without reason). They seem to have a problem with realizing that something is going the wrong way before having it go off the rails: bounties, for example. And at the same time, they keep adding fantastic new features and then not following up with them. The concept of the Chalice went away (although the idea of the REDACTED engram as a kind of reverse Chalice is encouraging), set bonuses, a real staple of MMOs, were never iterated on after Drifter, and big puzzles that drive community involvement are few and far between, likely because of workload. Simultaneously, they make the same mistakes over and over again with sandbox balancing. They say, "wouldn't it be cool if?" instead of considering the repercussions. Who thought it was a good idea to have infinite reload (from only two sources) or dropping Whisper in it's Black Hammer state only to inevitably nerf it or wall hacks and One Eyed Mask, who on Earth looked at Xenophage in Gambit and said, "yeah this is fine" or Antaeus Wards in PvP blocking all damage when sliding and not seeing how impossible it is to counter?
I love it, man, but this game is cursed.
Xenophage in gambit is fine but izanagi and one k are monsters izanagi so underrated for invading and dps
destiny is a cycle of shit and good
I’d forgotten abou that actually - like the whole you get stuff if you get 4 kills in an invasion Is really cool and rewarding in the spot - you happen to get 4 kills, boom reward instead of knowing what your going for then eventually getting it which is more relief than joy
Omni Star 1k is by no means broken in gambit - I can agree with izanagi being v. Good (although runs out’ve ammo if your trying to use it for dps as well as pvp cos when primeval starts there ain’t enough ads) but xénophile is defo way better than 1k at least for pvp (in gambit) and good enough pve wise that I’d say it’s more useful unless you’ve got a sniper and event aim as ur secondary

@@edgyweeblord6821 it was meta until well in Forsaken, where it finally got nerfed because Gambit. I think it deserves some recognition

@@nitrozeus3288 i've done it once
I feel really bad saying this but in reality: for the amount of money and time i invested in this game, it was a major, major letdown. Emotionally I love this game, but critically it was a MESS.
Same i spent hundreds of dollars and im just realizing it now like holy shit
I've spent less than $20 on this game and have hundreds of hrs of content at my disposal
yeah this accurately sums up my feelings, sure now its not so bad because most of the games free, but beforee that you had to spend up to $300 on the game to stay relevant, and once again at the time the content was not justifiable. still had so many great times and made many great friends will be back for the darkness, but my god what a frustrating experience
I played Destiny late, never played D1. Started game with Forsaken, it was hella fun. Seasons started, was okay except Drifter season. But the Forsaken Digital Deluxe was worth it i guess. And now we got Shadowkeep, i pre bought the Digital Deluxe and now regretting it lol. Shadowkeep was eh, undying was meh, didnt play season of Dawn much, only grinded in the current season cause i wanted to get some stuff done (Luna's and other shet)
I dunno. I've spent, what, 300 dollars maybe? 400? No damn clue, but I have a few months of playtime with the 2 games combined, and some people have a lot more than I do. Like, a LOT more. Anyways, that's, what, 1500ish hours? Give or take? I like to do the math for video games on what each hour costs me, and that comes out to 20 cents per hour. I'm happy with that. I think Terraria and a few other indie games might have it beat, but overall... That's not a bad way to spend money, in my eyes.
That said, whether it's a good way to spend time is a whole other discussion.
Destiny had PvE almost perfect at the end of Destiny 1. They really messed it up with the state of how D2 launched.
What?
D2's PvE back then though was a lot better than D1 in terms of gunplay/movement tho
@@okruma625 I would hope the new game has better mechanics but the op didn’t mean that
I miss the forsaken days man, that was the shit and a major point in my life
J P forgetting activision and some other studios were behind forsaken-shadowkeep. If the next season and fall update sucks then yeah it’s a definite quit for me
Idk if I’ve ever had as much fun in a game as I did during Forsaken. And the thing that kind of sucks of having an ever changing game, is it’s not possible to go back. Was hoping that shadowkeep would bring the same level of enjoyment but it just didn’t. Now really all I do is watch Datto even though I don’t play the game anymore.
-10000 subs No vids everything after sk has been only Bungie.
Forsaken? How about taken king my friends have said this for so long why don’t they just remaster d1 and put it on pc too
Forsaken was good, but destiny 1 taken king was 10x better in my opinion.
"destiny has potential" I'm so tired of hearing this after 7 years
It should've already flourished. Instead it continues to "have potential" instead of just being a good game.
THIS COMMENT 🔥
Hope is how the influencers keep you watching "potential" was dead years ago.
@@bloodline271 Absolutely right. It's their livelihood so of course they'll continue reporting on it. The issue with them is that they don't always admit when Bungie is wrong and accept a lot of the changes so that they're on their nice list.
I think the full sentence is "Destiny has an ocean of potential but capitalizes on only a bucketful and even then pours half of that bucket away"
Datto, I bought the Destiny: The Taken King Legendary Edition about two and a half (maybe three?) years ago. My parents had split, and the game seemed like a good way to take my mind off stuff.
I'd watched a few TH-cam videos here and there, which is how I knew I wanted to try it, but didn't know anything about the game itself. I played through it, enjoying every moment of the story, Dark Below, House of Wolves and Taken King. I was a solo player, with no headset and no confidence to play with anyone else. And I was happy.
Then I started looking for things to do. I scoured TH-cam looking at guides for Exotic quests and stuff (I wanted to know what was out there) - then I found your channel.
Finally, I had found a channel that told me everything I wanted to know in a concise and entertaining way. I learned about quests, gameplay, memes, everything that makes Destiny what it is. And I became a part of the community.
Now I play Destiny 2 every day (since lockdown) and have done since about February last year. I know the lore, I know the mechanics, I know the memes, everything that makes Destiny what it is. I know these things because your videos showed me what the game had to offer me.
Suffice it to say, my time in Destiny would be nothing without your videos. I owe every second of joy to you, because without you, I'd be playing blind. Maybe I would have gotten bored.
Thank you, Datto.
What do u play d1 on
why is this comment not pinned and responded to by Datto, so wholesome :D
Crunkyy Datto probably gets hundreds of messages like this daily. He can’t feasibly see them all
This shit hit to close to home💔😭
I was 14 when Destiny came out and now I am 20 (almost 21). This game has been a significant part of my life, I've made very good friends through it and overall have many postive memories from it. I'm done with high school and now have to focus on old man shit. I don't want to grow up, I don't want this game to die, I wish I could just play this game all the time because honestly I have nothing else in my life.
SuperStandard same here. About to be 21. This game has been with me through high school and all the way to today. The friends, the memories.
Same boat, I love it, I hate it, its all part of the cycle.
Same bro same I’m turning 21 this year too! This game has been the game that I grew up with and it’s given me loads of great memories
Every person thinks like this when they’re 20. Coming from someone who just turned 40, enjoy everyday and see it as a blessing, because one day you will really be old, and feel old.
@@aaron805 39 here, i confirm what you said. ;) cheers from France everyone ! Oh, and look for Outriders, from Square Enix and People can Fly for PS5/SeriesX/PS4/X1/PC ! they just posted tons of gameplay, story beat, cinematics... seems a great looter-shooter to take the torch in the next gen era. (and i'm sure Bungie is working on a new Destiny for the new consoles, and that's the reason Destiny 2 is so stall and empty right now... they may have kept a little update team, but 80% of the studio is working on something else...
I honestly can't remember the last time that the "it's just a beta" excuse actually panned out, and the game got better (or even substantially different) from the beta.
Might've been back in the PS2 days.
minecraft brah xD
Games that go on beta these days are code words for "marketing tactics".
If the game already has a set launch date, then don't expect the developers to actually fix anything in time for the release. The beta is there to bring exposure and garner interest for potential sales. But don't blame the developers for it. Blame the publishers.
@@NoxinPistol Open betas are never meant to have large changes before release, they're used primarily for server stress test and other large scale technical aspects that they can not test in house. I've always felt that expecting games to change from open beta to release is just disingenuous to their purpose.

It really helped me through Highschool and I would’ve dropped the game after the initial storyline if it wasn’t for your videos showing me how to raid and level up for it. So thank you. You make a larger impact on people than you may seem. 8 years later and I still watch your channel even when I’m not actively playing the game or just taking a break.

I've never been more disappointed with a game that I sunk over 3,000 hours into. They just always drop the ball. I don't know if they can ever make the game they set out to make.
They will never be able to make the game they set out to make because Bungier themselves don't know what kind of game destiny is supposed to be.
@@TheOneAndOnlyLUUUU exactly. I was so pumped when the first few trailers came out and was so excited for what the game would be but they just never hit the mark. One part of the game would be good others would be trash it's just a very frustrating franchise.
@Pure it wasn't always like that in year2, year 3 is just trash, no one can find anything to like
they want it to be a real mmo which it will never be. luke's vision is flawed and he needs replacing.
@Pure i hate this stupid anti-circlejerk that goes on about how terrible it is that reddit dares to be negative about the game. it absolutely deserves everything they say about it because as datto mentions, this is the THIRD time bungie has fucked up majorly and it's not surprising that the community is starting to get frustrated. on top of nerfing things we love hard because they're used a lot, they also want to throw our favourite weapons in the trash because they hate fun. i don't think bungie will ever recover until they realise that player fun should not be rationed and controlled and it should be embraced and nurtured instead. but until that happens it's just going to be an endless cycle of shit, trailers hyping things up, disappointment and boredom.
“what could they possibly do for season 11?”-seems that destroying half the planets on the roster worked wonders,or at least the hype got up
How to get new players to grind their life away before new expansion 101.
maybe the latter but NOT the former
Lmao y'all completely missed the REASON for this happening
The thing that seems very clear, TO ME; is that as Destiny has gone on and ‘perservered’, you have gone on and bettered yourself as a person socially, physically, and mentally. I honestly was very surprised this video didnt end on you walking away from the game; and honestly bro, maybe it’s almost time. I hope Bungie finds their sweet spot in the fall, I’m glad you’re on the up and up as a person.
@J M you know Bungie doesn’t make Halo anymore right? Not since Halo 3…
@J M what are you talking about?
You should tell him what kinda line you like too
They found their sweet spot - the Witch Queen is the best Destiny content ever, full stop.
@@scrambo6182 ah endgame is pretty boring nothing else to grind besides of the raid, cause the exotic Glaives do suck. And besides of weapon crafting and leveling them I’m back to the same position before witchqueen, the game is just too casual
I just can't care anymore. I'm trying, but I can't. I started the last DLC, the earth gets attacked, "Rasputin is our only hope if humanity is to survive... but first, collect 20 orbs of light, so the story seems longer!"
It's embarrassing.
Omgg exxacctly
i'm did the same: just quit the game and don't played this season. i'm waiting for the next one, but without good expectations
The Tallest Dwarf I played the dlc a bit the first couple weeks, hit 1008 on my hunger and grew bored of this season. Came back to get the petting the cat emote but that’s been the highlight of the season for me
Came back for heir apparent but the whole ordeal was not much fun. Im trying to get a few drops the last 2 weeks of season. Ive had much more fun in Deep Rock Galactic
im one of those people that is still subbed to datto but hasnt played the game in over 2 years lol
A history lesson on the entirety of d2 is appreciated always, nice vid Datto
That moment when you realize you've been watching datto since crota days... Damn time flew by
Right? Good lord.
You know, as burnt out as the year of the stalling has made me, What you said gives me hope for the future. I believe, if anyone can pull out a final trick on the brink of collapse, it's Bungie, because Destiny, like you said, is resilient. It's gone through some of the worst periods I've ever seen a game go through, and then pull itself back up, and give us something that reminds us why we love the series so much to care about it the way we do.
GET IN THE HYPE TRAIN! WE HUNTING DOWN SAVATHUN!
Beyond light was the year of set up
Seeing Datto genuinely become more happy and more and more fulfilled as a content creator is so encouraging to see, and I feel so happy for him as well. I really admire how you want to improve yourself so much, and seeing how youve transformed yourself and grown is amazing. Keep it up.
7 year retrospective..... Oof, 7years. You'd figure with Bungies love of the number 7 they'd have the game fixed by 7 years 😂😂😂. Damn, can't believe it's been 7(ish) years since I did my first destiny raid with random level 27s from the tower.
I talk to three of my randoms almost every day. It is bittersweet when I try to remember the golden age.
Vanilla D2 is by faaaaar Bungie’s biggest failure ever. I literally can’t even comprehend why they would do nearly everything they did
I think you can see as early as the April Update after Taken King that they wanted to carry Destiny in a different direction. They wanted to create one-off experiences. Everyone was always complaining about grind and more grind, so why not just have a fun, casual experience and be done with it? That was their thinking, anyways, but clearly they were a bit out of touch.
Hyperbole much? Far from their “biggest failure”
Activision probably wanted them to main line the game so it could sell more and be more accessible. Problem is the type of player who plays games like this don't want it to be more accessible. Defeats the purpose of grinding, leveling, and achievement.
@@CalienteQuack I think the MASSIVE drop in player numbers and the fact that they flew people to tell them what to do is evidence enough, but what would you say was their biggest failure?
Destiny 2 as a principle was a failure, it betrayed the very premise of Destiny as an evolving, cross-generational game, which is what they showed back in the Destiny 1 reveal.

Hearing you talk about how "We're listening" doesn't cut it anymore was unexpected but very refreshing and necessary to hear. The state of D2 is worrying, especially since on Steam the playercount has been slowly hitting new lows and the mood towards the game is more bitter than it was during the Season of the Drifter days. Hopefully if Bungie hears anything, they hear it from you as a general reflection of how people feel towards D2.
Well said
I didnt care about season 11 but god damn it destiny just keeps bring me back. So now i have to PRAY this next season hits and i hope bungie has truly listened.
Steam playercount miyht be dropping but console numbers are still rising
And we're back
so they caused new problems with Destiny 2 then fixed those new problems and added all the old problems of Destiny 1 into Destiny 2. Datto I don’t think Bungie proved themselves.
I don’t like how most weapons we’ve been getting are all from D1. They made a new game just to drip feed the same content
It's a recycled mess
Well maybe it’s because they wanted destiny to be one game in the first place and now that activision is gone bungie can add their favorites
I find it really weird how much they tried to bank on nostalgia when I feel like the series hasn't even come close to earning any nostalgia points from me.
I find it weird that getting guns from D1 is actually something people gripe about.
@@ZeeroDubs *Nuetered* guns from D1. And it's pretty much like if next winter, after the DLC, they re-release spare rations, the one from last year is dead and still handicapped at power, and you have to grind a new one if you like the feel of spare rations and want to use it in relevant activities
I no joke met my girlfriend because of D2, we were coincidentally living in the same city, I honestly have no idea how that happens lol
Met my fiance because of D2!
Didnt meet the guy that called me a piece of shit online!
@@petergriffin8086 You really missed out
Its called connection based matchmaking. :P
Honestly, I loved your variety content a lot. Your chemistry with the dream team and friends is hilarious and goofy, your silly and sophisticated brand of humor is really entertaining and unique. Just remember that even if destiny fizzles out, you have made a place for yourself as a content creator and you have a fanbase who watches you for you rather than just guides :)
As he starts to repeat himself, me"wait didn't he have this exact same speech at the begin.... OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I get it"
"datto rants about how everything about destiny 2 is bad besides forsaken for 46 minutes" oh do i love you datto
And now we met again friend!
xed you forgot the season of opulence
@@alexlikesdalex5680 yeah season of opulence was easily my favourite time in destiny, despite the auto-reloading nerf. can't blame datto saying that
@@dankerbell Shadowkeep was good, but didn't live up to all it's expectations unfortunately.
season of dawn was also great, then it went downhill hard
How times have changed. Since this video Destiny is probably is at it's best state ever in Witch Queen.
I 100% agree
Thanks for all of your content Datto you are a great creator hope you keep it up
Most of this was stuff I already knew, but that way you masterfully presented it kept me rivited. ! Favorite video I’ve seen from you, man. Really well done. Thank you!
I remember watching a channel called “Destiny Updates” and going wild with speculation before release. I imagined I would camp outside a cabal fortress at night with my fireteams waiting for a hole in the cabal patrols to sneak in. But nah, we just disintegrate them like nothing.
You've come a long way man. I remember following your channel when D1 was announced, and you already looked like a competent content creator back then, so I decided "yeah, this is definetly the dude to follow". I was not mistaken. Thanks for all the fun videos you made, and I wish you all the best for the future!
"Destiny 2 didn't feel like a continuation to Destiny 1 year 3, but more like a continuation of Destiny 1 launch".... truer words were never spoken. I still haven't gotten over my utter disappointment of the D2 launch, and sadly, it hasn't gotten all that much better since. This is what always confuses me, it felt like Bungie was on the right path at the end of D1, and instead of moving forward they have taken so many steps back since. Why? And I don't want to hear that it was Activision, I think it's clear by now that it was not Activision, there is something fundamentally wrong with Bungie and how they plan this game.
I think it was already discussed all over the community that Activision wanted the game to be more casual, so it can lure a much larger playerbase. Hence the changes made in D2 vanilla.
It's Luke Smith, his vision for destiny is what's destroying and dumbing down the fundamental idea of how this game works. Forsaken wasn't even directed by him which is the exact reason it was such a great expansion. Luke Smith is a plague to the reputation of bungies past, and could never Capture the innovation and ideas that were brought with halo, and some of destiny's best moments
@@lanz622 that may be the case but what has Bungie done to make the game better since they left Activision. IMO nothing, they've only made it worse. If the idea of being less casual is mindless grinding and bounties, no thanks.
@@scottmarikirito1719 Mark Noseworthy has had trouble figuring out what a god roll is, and was also overwhelmed by the D1 skill trees.
I got an ad for destiny carries, and now it seems I can't get away from these
this video is what I needed today
I would love to see another retrospective video when the three year mark hits for this video. 10 years of Destiny: Datto’s Destiny 2 Retrospective. I’m almost as hype for it as I am for Light Fall.
Were you let down by lightfall?
I’d rather wait for Dattos 3rd retrospective to be after TFS as it’ll be the conclusion to the current saga and 10th anniversary of the franchise.
Around the 21 minute mark with Danielle wholesome
Damn it Datto I finally got my girlfriend back and then she caught me watching this.
“The games only gotten better”
Season 10: *”Allow me to introduce myself”*
He was talking about Destiny 1 from Taken king to RoI lol
24:51 why in the hell does a shank have a raid boss logo
Can't wait for post tfs retrospective
Love when he mentions finding a wonderful partner, it's a shot of Sharkk, Danielle, and Mr. Fruit. I wonder who he meant when he said that. I personally suggest a fight to the death to decide.
Datto, as a player that start to play destiny in CoO (yes, surprising, i know), the person that accidentally found your channel, your twitch, subbed to you on twitch on day one of SoS, and now somehow worked my way to be the clan admin of FPS, I truely, truely thank you for all you have done.
Personally, not sure if you remember this, but I did commented in chat in your stream, you streams and video helped me through all the difficult times of me studying abroad along, long distancing with my girlfriend. Untill now, while I am writing this paragraph, I still have one year to go, and your content, bundled with destiny, is one of the main fuel that pushes me to walk through life, no matterr how tough it is.
Social wise, I am never a social person, I can talk with people, but I am not the type of person that will go out to pubs or clubs, thus I found home in video gaming. Datto your content has led me to know one big group of wonderful people in the sub clan, and until now, while the people in the sub clan has never met physically before, are still one of the best people I have met. Remember the giant donation that I helped to deliver, donated by the sub clan? That is just the small portion of how much we love and appreciate you.
All said, in the end, Datto, thank you very much, keep being the original, funny, goth, sarcastic, and occationally toxic(towards your friends KEKW) you, you have forged a community around you, and we all love and appreciate you.
Destiny youtubers streamers and content creators when they attended and saw the d2 reveal counting down. " This is the second coming of christ" lmao.
They were on point through the Taken King and Rise of Iron, but when Destiny 2 came it hurt the spirits of veterans and lacked appeal to new players. BTW great videos Datto!!!!!!!
Dude
You literally said everything i have felt with this game from Day 1
A roller coaster of emotions lol
Why why why am i still here playing this game
You put this all into words
Thanks for your time with these shared thoughts that Im sure, like myself, many others have felt.
Keep up the great work and continue to enjoy your personal life with your girl and friends.
The part with Danielle was so cute! I can also kinda relate to it since I found my bf trough Crown of sorrow, we‘ve been together for almost a year now! Destiny changes life’s man!
Maybe that’s why it’s called destiny lol
Listening to this like a podcast while at work! Looking forward to it!
I am very glad I left D2 after 1.5 years at the start to come back to D2 3 months ago now to what the state of D2 is in. To me it is the best game it has ever been for how its been reworked and whats been added. Even versus D1 all 3ish years of it.
Damn this vid hit u in the feels. Destiny 2 had really been an up and down throughout its history and bungie always seems to make the same mistakes over and over. But after all this time even now when I’m not playing I don’t give up becz all of my favorite content creators r from destiny 2 and for that reason I will always have hope for this game
hi datto, just used one of your tutorials to do crown of sorrows for the first time. made it easy to learn the mechanics.
I'm so glad I stopped playing this game at the start of this season, you know it's not going well when a game that's supposed to distract you from boredom makes you even more bored. I had some great times in game since the start of destiny 1 but it seems like they are all in the past.
"Datto is A Gundam Confirmed around 29 minutes"
Coming back to this 2 years later, things are looking much better fellas. They might be doing it
27:26
Datto: “The next big thing.”
My D1 flashback: “Actually, I’m pretty famous on Mars, so...”
