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.

Should have used All the Single Ladies. I agree with OP.

Should of been earned it x Chief Keef

Popular opinion wins, your opinion seems to sit somewhere in the minority. I could care less since I prefer classical orchestrated music. You sir expressed your opinion and it came off as stating a fact which it is only your opinion and you are entitled to your opinion.

5 RepliesThere's a reason that 80.4% of the Rolling Stone's top 500 songs of all time are from 1960 - 1989. They are amazing. 1990 through current has 5% or 25 songs.

They should have used music from the taken king.

Dude you want one liners? Play the OG Duke Nukem. That game is ballin

We have a guy in our clan that says " hey, wanna do a NF?" And we're all in agreement. "Be there in 5 minutes" we say then, we join him and hear Omniguls last scream. He does that kinda shit all the time. Just like in the ad. Cracks me up. I thought the ad was perfect. Music and all.

What about the monkey on the drums add for chocolate. That made me laugh every time
-
I think it's to appeal to a wider audience, like they didn't use any music like that in he trailers they released on their website and YouTube, just the TV uses recognised music and people buying it for their kids or grandkids are gonna notice it
-
Signed

Seriously. They probably should have hire me or my bro to do the commercials. Check my GMV for it here: https://youtu.be/x7-mCkU_bXs My only problem With it is the lack of live action or FMVs I can use and it shows in the video. Just a heads up.
-
Yeag I totally agree. Yuck. It ruins the vibe man and has nothing to do with anything. And in my honest opinion didn't sound well besides the fact.

1 ReplyIt boils down to who you play with, my friends and I have plenty of one liners and humorous moments, the game is what you want to make it after all

Signed. I hated that song pairing with TTK.
-
Japanese TV may be weird but they know how to make ads

Signed

Hack ass advertisers are still trying to copy the success that gears of war commercial had

Signed. The Japanese advertisement was great. Had to rewatch it 6x's...that helmet sound was epic.
-
signed

Signed. Great music, awkwardly misplaced
-
The song doesn't go with the video imo
-
I like it. They should use more of it too. I feel like it fits the game somehow

I basically agree. Zeppelin is old for me and I'm 37. I know that there are a lot of classic rock fans out there amongst Gen X and Millennials, but it's a niche genre. I [i]don't[/i] agree that they should have put modern pop/rap/rock in their commercials, but it would have at least made more sense than stuff from before I was born. Their target audience is teens through mid 20s after all (based on age polls in the forums). I always prefer music that matches or at least emulates the music/mood you expect to see in game. Though Bungie does have a history of tongue-in-cheek advertising, so it's not surprising that the ads don't match the tone of the game. [i]While I'm baffled by their choice of music in the ads, I just let it go, as it is [b]typical[/b] of Bungie ads.[/i] The only time music in an ad/trailer ever made me kind of angry was in the Dark City trailer. They used a track called Sleep Now by Howard Hughes, which is absolutely awesome, but very different than the music and mood of the movie. With a movie trailer, I actually expect to get a taste of what's in the actual movie... In this case I went in expecting a more action packed and well scored movie like The Crow. Instead I got a slow movie, with a decent climax and a completely different musical style. While having a very different mood in an ad or trailer isn't exactly atypical, as there have been many other instances where advertisements and products with not aligned. But I definitely think they should try to at least stick to music that resembles the in-game/movie score or a song that on the OST at least (if it's going to be a pop/rock/rap/etc song).

1 ReplyThe next Oryx trailer should have "5 Minutes Alone" from Pantera. If that doesn't wanna make you smash Oryx's face in then I don't know what you're doing with your life....

11 RepliesEdited by Nightmarity: 9/14/2015 3:31:13 PMThe game is full of one liners if you actually talk. They are portraying players. Sure the combat was more intense than actual gameplay. But live action stuff is awesome. And well done. Almost every videogame advert is overglorified, they want to catch people attention. Also, making the title of this post "No more Classic Rock", you and claiming not to attack classic rock in the post isn't a good way to boost your credibility.
