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.

I'm beginning to notice the connections between two Activision titles anymore. New Exotic is basically an AK-47 Classic rock tune to an Action style trailer. Destiny Advanced Warfare anyone? Little nudges to CoD have been happening for a longtime, it's bugging me. I don't hate CoD, I used to play black cops 1 & 2. But it's campaign mode was fairly routine and even I figured out the "plot twist". And I'm as thick as a shit sandwich. The multiplayer was fun, that's CoDs pull, certainly not the deep and compelling story with layers of interesting lore. Destiny is a different class of FPS but the more and more it's being developed, I can't help but notice CoD sneaking and clearly not representing the style of Destiny.
