What was the story of Destiny brehs
I done put over a 1000 hours into a game and even don't know what it's about
i'm sitting here like "he can't be serious" then I realized, I don't really know either
something about "Becoming Legend" or some shyt
for me it wasn't about playing the game and unraveling the story, reading every grimoire card and all that shyt cuz I always said I don't really care about story in video games. in all my years of gaming, only a handful of video game stories have actually moved me so I was never that guy that took Destiny down a notch for not having a clear cut story.
I had plenty of issues with the game as is, and still put 1000+ hours in it too
lol...i got yall...the story in a short version:
we are guardians (dead humans) created from the light of the traveler...we pretty much protect the traveler, while also running around the universe fukking shyt up with space magic and cool weapons/gear....there have been many guardians before us, we are just the latest batch...our ghost, is a companion that has a shytload of info and brings us back to life every time we die....as for key players in the story:
- the traveler (the giant ball above the city) has been travelling the universe, building up civilizations, but dips at the first sign of trouble aka darkness, leaving them fukked up....it did that to the fallen (enemy 1), that's why they want it back...
- the hive (enemy 2) are from a species that lived on a planet the traveler was near...to survive, the species had to pick between the traveler (the hard way) or some godly worms (the easy, but fukked up way), they picked the worms....and that's how the hive got created....
- the vex (enemy 3) are a species of machines that no one knows where they originated from (the going theory is rasputin (i'll get to him in a min)) that can travel time/space in an instant cause they are one mind so to speak...
- the cabal (enemy 4) are a space military species that doesnt give a fukk about anyone/thing, they just wanna conquer and expand the empire.....the ones we run into in d1 are just a search party so to speak when it comes to the size of their military...which is coming in d2...
- the taken (enemy 5), are an offshoot of the hive....oryx (the taken king) was one of 3 sisters that created the hive, but she realized the worms that helped them survive were full of shyt, so she killed and ate her worm, 'taking' the power from it, which turned her into the taken king....his son is crota, the one we fukked up on the moon....that's why the taken came to fukk with us...
- siva (enemy 6) is a corrupt computer program/virus so to speak that guardians on earth were using to build shyt up at first....but then, it got out of control, and the iron lords sealed it off...the fallen found it and started using it, that's why some of them are mutated looking....
- as for rasputin, he is a warmind...a giant computer that was created to protect humanity and help it thrive...he is 1 of 9, and the only working one that people know of....the going theories about him are - 1) he created the vex to help humanity, but something happened and lost control of them; 2) he is the one that shot/injured the traveler and why the traveler is stuck above the last city...he figured out the traveler was gonna try to leave, and he said fukk that shyt.....now, like i said, these are just theories, but the grimore points/hints at these theories being true...
...well, that's it, that's the story in the nutshell....the story and lore bungie put in this game is fukking amazing....the grimore is fascinating to read....i mean, i could get into more shyt like the last word/thorn history; crota story; how one of the great guardians in history became obsessed with the hive and is now one of their most powerful, and wants us to take the taken king's spot after the king's fall raid; how another great guardian becomes atheon in the VoG; how we guardians have been practicing the hive's 'sword logic' this whole time; etc.....yea, i read up on that shyt, cause like i said it's fukking amazing....
a lie. I think I remember the fiasco back at E3, where Phil said Sony prevented devs from upscaling it to take advantage of the 1x? or was that for a different game?
bruh.
