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.

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.

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.

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 返信Just 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.

1 返信I think it's awesome personally, but that's my childhood so I'm probably more inclined to enjoy it.

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
