Greeting fellow Guardians, So I got another comment a little while ago from a Guardian who said that the Live streams have made the expansion less appealing and it made me really think about how Bungie have done them. I get what Bungie are trying to do with the live streams. It's a way to be "hip" and to reach out to the social media generation and kudos to them for embracing the avenues that exist today to promote their game. Unfortunately, I don't think they have anyone employed there who are really equipped to properly set up and run these events. So far we had - King Gothalion doing the reef reveal "NO RAID!" -Triplewreck doing the ToO reveal -Professor Broman with the PoE reveal -Mr Fruit with the Dreadnaught strike preview -Laced Up Lauren on the Court of Oryx preview I think that overall it is really cool that Bungie have brought in these community members to participate on these reveals, particularly with the overall dissatisfaction with Bungie's level of interaction with the community here on the forums. Where I think they have stumbled is that these guest have for the most part (outside of King Gothalion) been along for the ride. I'm actually re-watching the Reef reveal as I write this and in retrospect I'm really impressed and what Gothalion was able to bring to the stream with a mixture of conversing and also hitting them with actual questions (some of which made DeeJ's cheeks tense up lol). The rest of the guests weren't bad, but these are all established Twitch personalities who are used to being the focal point of a broadcast. Gothalion tried and succeeded in being a focal point to a large degree, but the other guests (while none of them were bad) seemed pretty much along for the ride. What I would like to see in future streams is the community guests to be prepped ahead and able to actually host the reveals. As the reveals currently function, for the most part it's been DeeJ hosting them and doing most of the talking. This is a problem. I don't want to sit and bash DeeJ (he gets enough), but I don't think he holds much credibility with the community because for all his "filthy casual" jokes, he's not a casual. He's not a gamer. He works for a game company and plays just enough to know what he's talking about. The second problem with these reveals is that they generally underwhelm. It's not for a lack of things to see, but the pacing isn't great and again, it's talking heads playing. I was so stoked for the first TTK Twitch reveal thinking that Bungie had learned from the first three. I actually thought from the preview trailer that maybe Nathan Fillion was going to guest host it. It wasn't bad and it was somewhat informative, but it sure wasn't an exciting watch. The Court of Oryx reveal was probably the most interesting gameplay wise and the most natural Fireteam interaction. ToO seemed exceedingly staged to let Triplewreck's team win. Broman freaked out a bit much (excitable guy) and the Strike the Dreadnaught team were a bit dry. Again I think if they are going to keep doing Live streams instead of traditional trailers and vidocs, they need to really make events out of these. The hosts and fireteams need to have time to play together beforehand and develop some chemistry and there need to be real hosts and less smarm. Again, these are guests who are used to running a stream and these reveals should be extensions of their particular channels. Out of the 5 guest hosts, Goth and Broman I think I have a pretty good idea what their channels are like. TW, Mr F and LUL? No idea and that kinda defeats the point of having them on. So what do you all think? Have you been happy with the streams? Would you prefer trailers and vidocs? And for fans of the Twitch hosts' channels, what were your impressions of how their guest appearances went? Did you feel like they were able to show their personalities and bring the same energy and level of entertainment they give their streams to the Destiny reveals?
