What an ISNANELY GOOD video for beginners or returning players! Love the detailed break down, you left very little unexplained, or underinformed. I'm absolutely going to recommend this video to my friends whenever they get on D2 with me. Great job!

[TrybestJaeson]

I'm a returning player and I was quite confused on what was going on in Destiny 2. Thanks to your video, it helped me a lot get into the game.
I miss the old stuff and DLC tho...

[quackx]

Me with almost 2k hours and tons of raid clears. "Yes i must watch this video"

[samuelking]

I played this game when it was still in Beta. I remember when Xur first spawned, I remember the first new Exotic that dropped post-release (Rat something, it was a pistol), and I remember watching the video of the first team ever to beat the first raid. I just came back today on a different platform and felt completely lost. Thank you for the guide!

[methodmaniac]

This is by far the most informative video I have ever seen for Destiny 2. This will be the video I send to my friends who now want to play D2, extremely well done!

[gmqpxdk]

I played a lot of Destiny when the Taken King came out. I was about 10 years old. I'm returning to Destiny 2 almost 9 years later, and although I'm having fun, I need to fully understand the game, because a lot has changed.

[iRdyOfficial]

I wish they kept the original content and dlcs

[novavstheworld]

Great video with a good overview of classes/subclasses and game systems for new players. Gonna cram it down all my friends throats until they pick the game up!

[josephbelanszky]

Your editing is insane, I followed just because of how high quality the vids are and I love D2.

Keep up the work bro

[davidgarrimoreno]

Such a good video man. I haven’t even watch it but it is so organized will study it to the tee

[pistolmen]

This video came at a wonderful time, i had 1400h in destiny 2 when i stopped playing back in season of the splicer, got back into the game 2 weeks ago and there's a lot of different things!

[racheldaqueen]

Thank you for this video it was so very helpful ❤️
I stopped playing for awhile and just recently started playing again and was completely lost.

[Social_Grenade]

Thanks for this! Returning after a couple years away and there is so much more and a ton I’d forgotten

[nolankelley]

Wow. Amazing video. Haven’t played in years. Picked it back up the other day and was completely lost. Thank you for a very informative video!

[Tusk-ruk]

As a returning player, this wrap-up was pure gold. Super efficient. Thank you.

[alexanderhernandez]

I definitely enjoyed this. It's the most complete guide i've seen in my life.

[MrWarfist]

Great video! I'm just beginning and this video was completely informative.

[MisterAzizo]

Man this was exactly the video I was looking for! Took a break after Shadowkeep and just yesterday got back into it again after the recent HumbleBundle where you get all the other DLCs for like 40 bucks. Logging in yesterday for the 1st time in so long truly was terrifying. I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed and nearly rage-quit out of the game again because my anxiety was at an all-time high because of it lol. After this video, I finally feel ready again to hop back in today! All of a sudden the game does not seem so overwhelming anymore for a returning player. Thanks a ton!

[carlosianaasis]

Really thanks with this, I'm the type of player who play on a longer period. I'm more into story or campaign games, But I find destiny worth my time since it has story progression.

[dubline]

THANK YOU! I was completely lost when I decided to try the game on my PS5, overwhelmed by the complexity of the menu, lore and system, but it's starting to grow on me now :)
