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.

It's sort of a continuation of that last live ad or something. I think, now don't quote me on this, I think they also played some Zeppelin there as well. Calling it "the classics".
-
I like it.
-
Yep. Not a bad song, just bad for the ad
-
I have nothing against the song but it just didn't fit the game style from my perspective. Destiny isn't that type of game in my opinion. That song seems more like a CoD thing. The initial Taken King song was dark and ominous. Which honestly gave a perfect atmosphere for the trailer
-
Why should it matter. Appeals to me. Love the song. Like the game. Made the trailer enjoyable. Until they cut out the lyrics and i have to fill in. Its a commercial. No one really likes commercials. Why not just ignore it or change the channel lol

Bump, class rock was a mistake
-
Naw I like it. I get a Gaurdians of the Galaxy vibe from it
-
Even if dey mad jus tell em Sheq It
-
Throws money at screen
-
Don't get me wrong, classic rock is awesome, but it doesn't fit the tone of the game. I'd prefer they kept with their normal theme of orchestral music.
-
Considering it aired during an NFL game... (I think the previous live action trailer did as well, now that I think about it).
