  • In this ViiTCHA video TerraMantis and My Name Is Byf cover 10 things about the Inspiration that you may or may not know which helped create Destiny. The video brushes over topics that are based in lore, game mechanics, and things that are just simply fun to know, but all of these Destiny topics are either obscure or widely unknown.

    Man the fact that you bust your ass putting out enjoyable content even though it puts you at a loss sometimes is really cool. I've been following your content ever since you started putting out your videos on destiny and am inspired by the quality your content is. Your videos are always super interesting. Keep up the good work dude you are one of the few channels that really sticks out to me.

    Great work man... I've watched plenty of you videos in the past and while most of them have a fantastic level of quality, this one took the cake. Not only did you talk about some great topics concerning the lore of the game, you managed to get My Name is Byf to help you with the video. That's pretty awesome...
    I got up, saw this video and immediately pressed the play button. If you could do more stuff like that, you wouldn't have any problem getting views on CZcams.
    Well anyways... Terrific video and as always, good luck in all your future endeavors.

    @travisbewley7084 Před 9 lety +1

    Great work guys.
    I would also add that Destiny also draws from Dark Souls in a lot of design aspects like storytelling through environment and item descriptions over dialog and cut-scenes (Though that seems to be changing)

  • @georgebarlas6934
    @georgebarlas6934 Před 8 lety

  • @Sinrui
    @Sinrui Před 9 lety +2

    Nice video, guys! Especially intrigued by that cosmic egg/Khonsu connection, which fits in well some of the Alpha Lupi grimoire and Egyptian themes of later content. Rasputin seems to call the Traveler "the Gardener" as well, which feeds right into that idea.
    Though - a lore writer for Bungie over on Reddit has said that the Achlyophage Symbiote's connection to Dark Souls is coincidence, while the Heart of the Praxic Fire's is entirely intentional. I imagine Eris's gesture is also non-coincidental. A bigger take away, certainly, is how much the flavor text and grimoire text contributes to the lore of the game; Dark Souls relied on that to piece its story together, and Destiny does much of its worldbuilding that way, too.

  • @MadDemon64
    @MadDemon64 Před 9 lety +1

    For your next video in this series (assuming you make one), may I suggest including the similarities between Destiny and the cult classic game Phantasy Star Online.
    Three races in each: one human, one altered human, and one robot.
    Three classes in each: one meant to get up in the enemy's face and tank, one meant to take enemies out from afar, and meant for spellcasting.
    I'd say it was quite the inspiration.

    @asbj0813 Před 9 lety

    It would be nice to have some sources for this, so as to separate actual inspiration from mere speculation, but otherwise a great vid with some interesting points, espacially regarding the art style and designs within the game.

  • @verapamil07
    @verapamil07 Před 9 lety +1

    Guys I think that both of you put much more effort in explaining this game to us "normal" players than Bungie. Really, great job. I hope Bungie learns soemthing from you two and start explaining things.

  • @nobodie9996
    @nobodie9996 Před 9 lety

    great vid guys. anyone else noticed the similarities between cabal and warhammer?

  • @NuclearFists001
    @NuclearFists001 Před 9 lety

    I've also noticed something that seemed to inspire a lot behind the warlocks abilitys, specifically his nova bomb and its variation, lance. Near the beginning of destiny I noticed that the warlocks lance bears a striking resemblance to the ability used by the main character of an old manga called a 'Psyren'. The main character of Psyren developed psychic powers, the main of which is 'Melzez Door' , the ability allows him to project pure energy that annihilates everything it touches. Once he learns to control the power more , he adapts Melzez Door into other powers, one of which is his most offensive ability, Melzez Lance, which is a focused beam of energy that travels in a straight line. Sounds familiar, right. He then learns a new ability called 'Nova' and in appearance Nova looks like a sunsinger's radiance. Another similarity is that when not controlled the energy from Melzez door naturally tracks ands destroys other energy, in short, it's like the voidwalker perk angry magic.

    @1997hoosier Před 9 lety

    hey terramantis, another dark souls reference that may or may not be changed when the taken king comes out is that on the new titan subclass there is a perk on the 5th or 6th row called fire keeper

      @1997hoosier Před 9 lety +1

      Hey terramantis, another dark souls reference to destiny is that on the titan's third subclass, sunbreaker, there is a perk called fire keeper, the perk either regenerates your health when you stand in the solar flare created by your hammer or it gives you an over shield, either way, it sounds like it is similar to the bonfires of dark souls

  • @danh.2228
    @danh.2228 Před 9 lety

    Another inspiration for the dark below dlc, is from Greek Mythology. The God of the Sky Oreanous (wrong spelling ik) and his wife gave birth to the titans. One of the these titans being Kronos (then later Kronos creating the gods like Zeus). Now what is interesting, is the names of the two villains. Oryx, and Crota. Oreanous and Kronos. Very similiar.

    Destiny's single most powerful inspiration is the greed of Activision, and the corrupt manner in which they rape their fanbase continually as the game "improves".
    I am watching from the sidelines and enjoying the show. This is truly one of the most interesting anal fuckings that gamers have been willing to take.
    The joyful smiles of the youth, as their ass holes are pounded into pixie dust... this pleases even the most jaded of individuals.
