Propaganda? Next thing you know they might be spreading fake news!

He means advertisement probably. Propaganda means ad in spanish.

 

[Trickster]

Is there anything funnier than people on gaf falling all over themselves trying to be the first person to tell everyone they didn't find something funny.

It's a trailer that has a strong focus on trying to be funny. People are commenting on that part of the trailer. I don't see the issue?

 

[Valkyri von Thanatos]

As someone with no knowledge of the game's characters:

The "funny guy" isn't funny. Like the writers were trying to do the most generic humour and failed at that

I just want the game to capture this feeling:

They nailed the feeling of mystery, wonder, and open exploration in the concept art. But it never came to fruition in the game, and this trailer isn't giving me too much hope. I'll have to wait until E3 and some gameplay footage to pass judgement, though.

That's a good point, but the smarmy comedy overshadows and even pushes the other out.

I feel the same way with all of your points, I wish Destiny appealed to me, but it comes off like a pretty soulless skinner-box designed to provide Halo-lite to players for as long as possible without any really standout moments.

 

[Rexatality]

Dont get it either.

- No Gameplay

- 7 weeks until Gameplay

- No New Planet shown

- Enemy shown is one of the 3 bland ones from the last game

- Try-hard humor


Why should i be excited now?

Because I liked Destiny 1 and I look forward what Bungie will bring with the sequel.

Its not rocket science.

 

[firehawk12]

Shady value proposition for players. Bungie/Activision made millions. That's the only value proposition they care about. They'd be insane not to go that route again.

I was hoping they'd just sell more silver/character slots/instant levellers and make all the content free instead.

 

[jaaz]

50 days until we see actual game play. Wow.

 

[BLCKATK]

That's a good point, but the smarmy comedy overshadows and even pushes the other out.

That's how it's been the whole time, kinda started in Taken King. The really nitty gritty is still there though and I really hope it does get some more emphasis.

Oryx and the Taken had some excellent lore, and so did SIVA. I'm looking forward to them continuing those plot lines, while having Cayde and his antics for the people that don't want to get super serious.

 

[a harpy]

Can someone tell me one aspect of this trailer why i should be or more excited for the game now?

People aren't excited about the trailer.

People are excited about Destiny 2 finally on its way to release. We're FINALLY getting information about it.

 

[GinoFelino]

Reveal trailer March 30*




*Actual reveal in May

 

[J-Skee]

Not at all. Just amused at people mining for clues everywhere. Destiny has managed to cultivate a ridiculously invested fanbase, in a positive way. People are already so hype. I hope it lives up to expectations.

I'm not one of those fans, but it's a fun game, especially with friends.

 

[Plum]

Is there anything funnier than people on gaf falling all over themselves trying to be the first person to tell everyone they didn't find something funny.

I love that haha.
Its one of the constants in life.

The trailer tried to be funny, some people didn't find it funny. I don't understand the snark here.

 

[Hyun Sai]

No diversity and robot representation in those promo shots, preorder cancelled.

 

[Floody]

I liked the teaser a lot more, but I thought this was fine too, be there day 1 regardless, looking forward to the beta later this year.

 

[GraveRobberX]

This game absolutely will end with repelling the cabal from earth in the raid and taking back the tower.

Fuck.

Imagine a raise that requires you to fight your way up the tower through all the areas we never saw, the final battle in the ready room.

Give me that and give me a loot locked room that displays my loot and you can have my money. All of it.

Spoiler for Destiny 2

Spoiler

News has it we're leaving our closer planets in Destiny to the further outtee planets and moons of our solar system, especially Saturn
So yeah we leaving to go attack them

 

[Pop]

Beards are in

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

THAT FUCKING ARMOR LABEL DESIGN JESUS

 

[Disxo]

That titan costume is pretty funny to look.

 

[JB1981]

So was the point of this trailer to highlight the contrast in tone the sequel will have compared to the first?

 

[Bsigg12]

The logo continues to be complete ass.

 

[SDCowboy]

I seriously hope D2 is more MMO-ish in that there are more players in the world. And I want a much more populated hub area.

 

[nOoblet16]

Lol Ikora getting sidelined with Zavala and Cayde getting all that screen time. Filthy Warlocks being put in their place.

 

[Trace]

I feel the same way with all of your points, I wish Destiny appealed to me, but it comes off like a pretty soulless skinner-box designed to provide Halo-lite to players for as long as possible without any really standout moments.

The raids in Destiny are better than anything the entire Halo franchise did, put together.

Spoiler

At least in my opinion.

 

[bltn]

PC support makes it much more interesting, but will seriously wait for the community reaction on this one.

 

[Jezehbell]

Different covers would be so cool

 

[Tomeru]

This CG actually say why there will be no loot coming over.

lol

 

[wesleyshark]

Hnnnnng

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

sheesh, that trailer seemed lazy as fuck imo

So tired of CG trailers

 

[Skeletron]

The first teaser was better. The humor fell flat to me in this one. I'm hoping they give Lance Reddick and Nathan Fillion some better writing to work with. Still, excited to see more.

 

[Ethical Hedonism]

Just for clarification...

They are NOT requiring a subscription fee for this MOFPSRPG, right?

It's still just BUY to PLAY, right? On PC too, right?

I can get this for the PC and skip the XBL/PS+ sub services, right?

Wait for the "we won't have subscriptions/microtransactions at launch" quote.

 

[golem]

Any chance of cross play between PC and XboxOne? Maybe if you get it off the Windows 10 store? All my friends are on Xbox but I think I'd prefer to be on PC.

Hoping for the same. Played the first on X1 but I need that 60fps and I'm doubtful it will happen on consoles.

New assets.

Prove it!!1!1

 

[RedAssedApe]

sigh...teaser for a teaser.

 

[Tovarisc]

Last Light? Seriously? They are still reheating Destiny Year 1 content?

ffs

 

[Siege.exe]

Dont get it either.

- No Gameplay

- 7 weeks until Gameplay

- No New Planet shown

- Enemy shown is one of the 3 bland ones from the last game

- Try-hard humor


Why should i be excited now?

Can someone tell me one aspect of this trailer why i should be or more excited for the game now?

Because people like Destiny and are excited about its sequel. There's nothing to "get".

 

[h4t3]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT <3

 

[Bold One]

TIL Deadpool invented snark and sarcasm.

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

I wonder if May 19th may be Xbox Scorpio announcement show.

No love for Switch. To be expected, but if the rumors were correct that over 1000 employees are working on Destiny 2, I wondered if we would see a Switch port.

 

[SpecX]

Rasputin. Taking back the cosmodrome?

What if it's finally taking back control of Rasputin to serve humanity as they desire or to prepare for the next attack from the darkness.

 

[Strangelove77]

I wonder if all 3 subclasses will be back or not. I feel like they might scale it back and only have 2, at least in the base game.
I also wonder how much they'll revamp the abilities of each class or if they'll even be the same at all.

 

[LelouchZero]

OMG! I'm getting this day one on PC!

 

[Gator86]

I was hoping they'd just sell more silver/character slots/instant levellers and make all the content free instead.

Why do one when you can have both? There's a reason their stock price is going up. They're gonna make a killing on this from every angle.

 

[The Last Wizard]

May 18th is the gameplay premiere.

Of course you wanna see gameplay so we won't show you that first.

 

[Trickster]

I seriously hope D2 is more MMO-ish in that there are more players in the world. And I want a much more populated hub area.

Same, the Tower felt empty as fuck even at max capacity, and the zones felt like a case of WoW's zone instancing on max setting

 

[Nabbis]

That Cayde part was basically Destiny, a dumpster fire but soon as someone mentions loot everyone cheers.

 

[Obliterator]

I wonder if all 3 class types will be back or not. I feel like they might scale it back and only have 2, at least in the base game.
I also wonder how much they'll revamp the abilities of each class or if they'll even be the same at all.

We've seen all 3 classes multiple times.....or are you referring to the sub-classes?

 

[XAL]

Of course you wanna see gameplay so we won't show you that first.

It's your standard pls preorder hype trailer.

Idk what people were expecting.

 

[Darryl M R]

Last Light? Seriously? They are still reheating Destiny Year 1 content?

ffs

It looks like a random Omolon weapon not specifically Last Light

 

[jaaz]

The first teaser was better. The humor fell flat to me in this one. I'm hoping they give Lance Reddick and Nathan Fillion some better writing to work with. Still, excited to see more.

They're just overdoing it. I think they said to themselves, "Hey, everyone liked Cayde-6 in the TTK expansion. And look, everyone likes Ironman and Deadpool and Guardians of the Galaxy humor. So screw it, let's amp Cayde 6 times 10!"

 

[MythicReclaimer]

The release date is September 8th and the gameplay reveal is May 18, right? Rather than the 9th and 19th?

 

[Akainu]

...does the black chick get a trailer?
