Signed.
After seeing the Japanese add, I cant even laugh at how shitty the American one is.
Who do these adds even appeal to?
EDIT: Lets not make assumptions about musical taste. Any form of popular music would have been inappropriate. Pop, rap, rock... most popular songs.
EDIT 2: Once again, this is not an attack on classic rock or any particular genre. This is about misleading advertising and out of place music in shitty commercials. All the money they spent on it... its trash.
EDIT 3: And actual quality Destiny advert: https://youtu.be/jS1BM9XRgvw
And another decent one: https://youtu.be/clRpcIHpmoY
EDIT: I gotta say, I am amazed how few people get the thread.
The vast majority of the posts on this thread essentially boil down to thinking I am insulting a 70s Rock Band and like Dubstep. As though the entire point of the thread flew over their heads and was completely lost on them. I guess I cant expect less from children.
But I will say this: I was wrong about the advert.
The advert is still an embarassing and misleading schlock epic: money burning on the screen, portraying Destiny as a game of one liners and awesome fist pumping ACTION when in reality, its a very slow moving old school sci fi universe that is highly confusing and has no one liners or bro action AT ALL.
But I thought an advert like this would be completely ineffective. I thought it would be a massive failure around here. But I was wrong, since apparently all it takes is a popular song and some schlock get people excited.
Damn shame that.

-
If I remember right, they used the same Zeppelin song in the original Destiny ad.
-
But It's Led Zeppelin :(
-
That was a great song and classic rock is the best music, its "classic" for a reason so shaaaadduupppp and wuit cryin
-
No matter what bungie does they always get shit from the fans...kinda feel bad for them
-
Metallica..... would of fit better
-
Nothing wrong with classic rock, but I found the commercial utterly boring. If it wasn't an ad for Destiny, I would have probably flipped to the next channel.
-
The Japanese one was weird, as Japanese commercials usually are... I actually enjoyed the LZ version.
-
I feel like they're trying to appeal to an older audience. I don't think it fits well either and I love Zeppelin.

I thought it was badass

Edited by zxionisus: 9/11/2015 3:27:08 AMI liked the Led Zeppelin ad as well as the Japanese one. I think an ad using classical music, such as Lakme's [i]The Flower Duet[/i], or Orff's [i]Carmina Burana[/i] would also be good.

Duuude black dog is one of my favourite led zeppelin songs! Im glad they used it in a add for destiny
-
I guess someone here doesn't like the awesomeness known as Led Zeppelin :P
-
Ads. Not adds.

The music really makes the trailer so much better than Destiny's music would. Activision knows how to do their marketing.
-
I liked it at first until I learned the only reason they used it is bc they fired the guy writing the music
-
I could see them using "Knights of Cydonia" in that same scene to a much greater effect. I thought the advertisement displayed the tongue in cheek humor they are trying to insert into the game. I liked the whole "life as we know it is shit and we are all but extinct but let's laugh in the face of death." feeling.
-
Well it works for the live action trailers.
-
Signed lol

I like to eat Slim Jims

I agree. I like the songs they use, but they're not being put to proper use here. Underlying problem is, Activision promotes Call of Duty like this too, and for some reason they must think we're the same demographic. (We're not.)
