D1 was as bad as this same point in its first year look at the forums was more salty than the D2 ones. The game wasn’t that good to start Fact. All the people on here are delusional, it took 3 years to make the game really good except pvp, that’s been broken and not balanced since day one. Will get hate but it’s the truth

Go ahead. Play D1. We won't even notice.

With the ps4 exclusives out there. It's worth getting one. Grab a used one on the cheap.

Dude, I LOVED D1. But don’t spend several hundred dollars to play a single game that is beyond its time. If you’re going to get a PS4 and play D1, then you also have get in on red dead redemption and other games to make it worth it. The story, it’s not as long as it seems. 99% of the lore you’re reading came from grimoire cards; not experiences in-game. What experiences there are to be had would be incredibly difficult since the player base has largely moved on. But I will say this, you did, in fact, miss an amazing experience (but that’s life, man). In D1, if you wanted certain gear, you had to complete some challenging activities, for example Prison of Elders. Raids, man they were great. It felt so good beating some bad guy who was a true threat to humanity, not some simulated test like the d2 raids. Iron Banner...brah...imagine everyone getting home from work on Tuesday and launching their game ASAP. It was impossible to NOT find a fire team. Then y’all flew into match after match; everyone wreaking havoc on each other. It was glorious lol. This was, for me, the climax of all the grinding, struggling through the raids (and yes, the associated glitches. Raids were buggy). Those moments that you had worked to level your gear or get that weapon roll that you just KNEW would help you take your game to the next level, it all came to its pinnacle in IB. And in case you didn’t know, light level (or power level as you now know it), mattered in THE Iron Banner. To me, Crucible/IB has fallen farther than any other aspect of Destiny. Lastly, the POWER; you know, like when Darth Sidious throws Samual L. Jackson out the window. Yeah, imagine a universe where someone as powerful as the emperor is just another chump target worthy of nothing but bullets. Seriously, you got two or three supers in D1 in the time it takes to get one in D2; and if you only killed one enemy with your super, and that enemy was a yellow-bar, you created 7 orbs (8 in year 1). This made chaining supers a legitimate strategy because 7 or 8 orbs immediately filled your super energy. Now you have to rely far more on lackluster guns that are weak as hell compared to their D1 counterparts, (i.e. rocket launchers had two and three round tubes). Anyways, don’t buy it unless it comes with an app that will turn back time. And if it does, you OWE it to the community to go to Bungie headquarters and slap everyone in the face until they forget about their plan to make a D2.

The Vex are the core of Destiny. They were the threat. The black garden is where we killed a god for the first time. The Vault of Glass is where the magic took place and where most of us fell in love with that game. If you buy a PS4 I’ll be happy to help! D1 is about powerful abilities, deep lore, funny adventures and texts, mysteries to unveil, long and hard grind to complete, challenges to discover and then achieve to gain more powerful toys. Understand that D2 is D1 for dummies and low stimuli people.

must be nice to have money to blow on an underpowered overpriced machine to play one old game AND to add another pay for tier (playstation network or xbox live subscription) to do it. paying your internet AND sony or microsoft for permission for your expensive box to access their own network and then be able to play the game... btw xbox controllers always felt more comfortable than ps ones to me.

Careful, once you try d1 there is no comeback to this trash

D1 is basically rated PG13 D2 is rated G. Feels like Disney took over development...

Yeah, the most advanced robots in the galaxy can't walk faster than a snail's pace and 90% of them have peashooter guns. How can you really take that seriously? The other ones are still just as slow and boring. You think they've had some spiders or more effective, nimble designs other than the Droids that fall apart from Star Wars episode 1.

Couldn’t agree more, Destiny 1 was gritty, glum and serious. There was the occasional joke and Cayde was goofy but it wasn’t like the comic relief character is now. The only comic relief in Destiny 2 I find funny is Failsafe just because I think it’s funny that an AI developed a narcissist and sarcastic attitude. Destiny 2 should’ve been as equally serious.
