Let's argue? What's next? Let's hug? Let's kiss?

If it had been called "To Pimp a Guardian, " you would've given it a 10

Destiny 2 classic. Let’s also monkey paw it, we get all vaulted content like Scourge back. But, the QoL of the game is the same as launch.

[Jeerin_]

FUCK NO. They can barely add new content to Destiny 2 what makes people think they can make d1/2 feel fresh and new?

[mrsmiey]

"Destiny Classic" is a weird idea when Destiny 1 literally still exists and can be played. I would rather there be a "Destiny Complete" version that has all the content of both games smashed into one, but that's obviously not gonna happen.

[mcjester]

12:08 hot take we don’t get new mechanics because bungie thinks what im guessing is most of the community casuals are too not good at destiny to implement in content that is designed to be played casually. To this day I can’t get blue berries to CHARGE THE ORBS in the corrupted strike so we don’t need throw ( hyperbole) TWELVE balls at an enemy to break their shield.

[Exaar]

As someone who has played consistently since the beta in 2014, I don't really see a need for this.

What I would like to see is all the content from D1 and D2 available to play again, all in one client. Not even all the seasonal stuff, I just mean all the campaigns, all the planets. Mars, Venus, Dreadnought, Io, etc. The Red War campaign, the Taken King campaign.

If we're going to bring back old stuff, let's put it in the context of the current game. I think the game /plays/ the best its ever played right now, and I wouldn't want to go back to inferior gameplay. But I would like to go back to having all the content available.

The next Destiny Property I want is an RPG set in the Dark Age during the Iron Lord-Warlord conflict

[mutantraze]

The people who think year 1 of destiny 1 was better than what we’ve been getting needs to take off their nostalgia glasses

[thederpiestofderps]

Yes. Specifically so I can trick friends into going to the cosmodome and die to the invincible knight at level 1

[PlagueWood]

I think a simple destiny 1 PC port would be fine, no need to really do a whole remaster or something

[stealthhunter]

Should they remaster D1? No
Should they port it to PC? Yes and give it an FOV slider.
Should they enable trials and fix the special ammo economy in PvP? Yes

I don’t want it for nostalgia reasons I just straight up prefer large portions of that game especially taken king PvP / RoI pre special ammo changes.

[IcyFlameSkullTM]

I love how people go from "let's making destiny 3, we need new content" to "yo lets remake a game with no new content whatsoever" honestly funny

[SirTilley]

PLEASE make this a regular series I need elitest datto to validate my opinions

[ogsimpson]

If they decide to put resources into a d1 remaster I’d rather them just put the d1 content into d2

[henkaan]

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.

[CrispymexicanDUCK]

We really don't need a remaster. Add systems like cross save, and release D1 on PC with modern Gen texture and frame rate updates across all current gen platforms. It would accomplish the same thing.

5:29 Datto I believe they meant Kinetic Primary, because ofc Energy Primaries with keywords like Zaouli's Bane having Incandescent, and claiming Exotic Primaries as "Primaries are still good whatcha mean?" is not accounting for the non-exotic counterparts that fall short of their energy counterparts.

[jordanmancini]

I want Bungie to put more memorable moments into their exotic quests. I still remember D1 exotic Khovostov quest where we got a heart to heart with Ghost, Touch of Malice quest was a great way to boost Eris's Hive Magic proficiency in the player's eyes and give an incentive to play the raid, all of the exotic swords were memorable in part because you had to collect the powerful components required to build them but also in part because of the infamous legendary material grind. Iron Gjallarhorn/Gjallarhorn rebuilt was a quest where you learned about the lore behind the weapon. Now D2 exotic quests are rather forgettable with most of them being "Go to point A, kill some guys, go to NPC to talk, go to point B to kill more guys, talk to NPC again, go do mission/strike, talk to NPC and claim gun"

Did not die to counterfeit once in my Lightblade GM run while running the usual consecration build.

Definitely think the outrage about it was overblown.

The main issue is 100% it was a test for the ‘choose your own modifier’ approach that seems to be coming with Apollo.
