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.

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.

Denied.
-
serious bump
-
I hated the "approved" advert you listed. I think it's garbage and needed more action. The last two live action trailers have provided that. Sorry you don't like action.
-
Signed. I hated the music in the ttk trailer.
-
I have to admit the use of Radioactive for the Defiance commercial really got me going. I had already decided to try it because of the whole game and show tie in(which they failed at), but still I liked the commercial.
-
The immigrant song one they had last year was great, but ya black dog really didn't fit in

Classic rock is fine, but that was a poor song choice
-
Sorry, but no. https://youtu.be/pdT3MD795IQ

Wasn't this the reason O'Donnell got angry with Activision? Still find that whole ordeal scummy. Definitely would prefer O'Donnell's music, but Led Zeppelin okay too?
-
I'm sure you'd like some awful house or shitty techno music. If you don't like led zeppelin, eat shit
-
2 RepliesWhy didnt Activision hire A7X to make a special sound track like they do for cod zombie maps?
-
Should have used disposable heroes by metallica!
-
Yeah it's not like led zeppelin isn't one of the greatest classic rock bands of all time. How about you bitch some more you pussy and listen to your bitch ass, trap ass, music. I was truly excited for all the songs they used. I for one love led zeppelin and hope they only use classic 70s rock for now on. -blam!- you sir! I'm going to go listen to physical graffiti.

1 ReplyJust cause you don't like classic rock doesn't mean they should change it for you. I love it reminds me of growing up working in the garage on cars with my dad. Great memory's with great music.

weeaboooooo

Signed. Unless it was AC/DC.

Signed

1 ReplyI think it's awesome personally, but that's my childhood so I'm probably more inclined to enjoy it.
-
I agree, the use of led Zeppelin does not match the game. I guess Activision marketing is in use here. Live action+classic rock+explosions= profit. I love the live action hate the music.
-
the song just didn't fit the mood (and they didn't set the commercial to the tempo at all) now a song that would have worked would have been Killing in the Name of ,by Rage against the Machine
-
The Japanese was meh ... its supposed to pump you up and the classic rock fits it for that purpose, if they wanted it to be Epic then yes a Big band composed score would have worked ... i am sure Pumping people was their intention
-
How are you mad about this. Good ads means more players means more fun for everyone. I like how they showcased the new shotgun. Can't wait to get my hands on it
-
I like the feel of it, though something darker and foreboding should have been used, enter sandman for example
