Petition to Never Use Classic Rock in a Destiny Advert Again
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.

1 ReplySpeak for yourself, that commercial was tight.

That trailer was far superior to the silly Japanese bs.

Petition to remove OP from this plane of existence. Signed

Never again, if they didn't spend so much money on the song we could have seen the other classes in action.
-
The original one was great the new one felt forced and had cheesy effects.
-
First commercial I saw just over a year ago with led Zeppelin was what made me buy the game.
-
I enjoyed it. Was funny to me and music was on point. And it's canon now that a Titan killed Crota lol

Action and trailer each have 6 letters (it does. Count again) Shooting has 8. 18-6=12. The 8th letter of the alphabet is H. The 12th letter is L. The square root of 9 is 3. Half Life 3 confirmed.[/quote]

You're seriously complaining about a trailer. I don't even know what to say at this point.

Edited by shaunvfx: 9/11/2015 2:12:58 PMWatch the intro the Trigun Anime. It's like an homage to it.

Jesus dude lighten the -blam!- up. It's a god dam advert
-
Here's an idea. Take the video. Add your own soundtrack. Done.

3 RepliesShould have used party death metal... lawl

Better yet, how about make a thread at how lame the costumes are in it? I've seen better fan made cosplay suits. And although I love classic rock, It was corny they used Led again.
-
I thought it was great. I love me some zepplin.

7 RepliesEdited by GOAT Spartan: 9/11/2015 2:03:40 PMSeriously..... Now theres bitching about the music in adds? What do you want -blam!-ing kanye west to do the next add??? Some jackass, run of the mill prick like him? At least with classic rock, you can enjoy majestically made music instead of illuminati hypnotherapy control crap like west's music. This community does nothing but bitch. I thought the american add was pretty cool, and i loved the music in it so i went out and bought the music.

12 RepliesI just don't like led zeppelin. They're way overestimated. Should use disturbed for the advertising. Also why do they always make the guardians all nonchalant about everything? Like Oh its so easy Yeah I killed his son whatever no prob not worried. Nevermind that he killed hundreds if not thousands of guardians... Wish it was more serious. They're appealing to cod crowd not the halo fan base that got them where they are.

Are u kidding? I love that song!

Edited by GameBroJeremy: 9/11/2015 1:58:11 PMBut... But I like rock... [spoiler]but yes, as much as I like Led Zeppelin's music, this song didn't feel like it was fitting for the trailers to me.[/spoiler]

I really like the ad. I think the music was awesome in it.

See year one live action advert. Then you will understand.
