Yeah, this was my biggest takeaway. That was just the most soulless, generic, made-for-trailer music I have ever heard. Kinda killed the mood a bit.Would have been a better trailer if they still had Marty.
Missed this today, looks ok. There's just something... off about it. Can't put my finger on it though.
Already have it pre-ordered regardless.
It's a twist of the tiring "Destiny 1.5" bullshitWhat the hell does this could pass for a d1 trailer even mean?

I really hope they are able to turn around and launch the PC version earlier. Absolutely sucks we have to wait over a month for the same game.
Sadly still haven't heard any indication that endgame won't be a trash fire again.
Everything about this game feels like an expansion. (Unsurprising since destiny one expansions felt like free updates or 5$ dlc packs).
Bummer

The story bits are so bad they are almost preventing me to buy the game even though I will just skip them if possible.
It's like they purposely wanted to create the shittiest possible story.

This trailer can't hold a match that lights the candle of the D1 trailers.
Underwhelming would be an understatement.

The ๖ۜBronx;246658466 said:They're talking about spoiling the raid, which means finding five other people who haven't seen or heard anything about it. Granted the GoT example was inaccurate in that sense.
Not really from what I experienced in beta. regular mobs took much more bullets to kill and pvp ttk was noticeably longer than D1.
Not a fan of this change.
These do technically happen. But they're told poorly.
These all do certainly occur, but honestly seeing these makes me even more frustrated with some of the storytelling in D1. Because seeing these events laid out like this immediately has me imagine what these could be like; the weight these events could carry, the emotional potency that could come with doing these epic storylines. But I don't really feel they had that weight. The storylines I played in Destiny felt like the shells of what they could of been, what they were supposed to be. Take, for example, Rise of Iron. The whole idea of SIVA, of Saladin's feelings of failing his best friends and comrades and needing to make up for it. The feelings of picking up the mantle of this storied legion of heroes and ending this unstoppable force of corruption when it seems to outnumber you. All of these seem like potentially incredibly effective story elements, but in reality they feel rushed through, or reveal themselves to be far more shallow than they might have been.
I think part of that, like a lot of D1, is because I never felt like the world was truly threatened from these things. The tower was always pristine and un-touched. That's one of the things that has me most excited for D2; a sense of actual emotional weight and a legitimate price to pay for saving the day. Something I felt D1 never really gave me.
I'm a tad confused.... everything that's been shown of the stories and worldbuilding so far seems top notch.
Do you mean in the trailer or in the game that isn't released yet?

It looks on par with D1 and that game had the worst story and storytelling of any AAA game since... I dunno ever?
Like even the very first shot of those two brutes walking inside the ship looked goofy as fuck. Where the hell do they get these people who direct the cutscenes, it looks like the bold & the beautiful, but instead of fashion designers you have galactic emperors and demigods.
Can you link to me that extensive Destiny 2 story content that you have access to? I mean you must have in order to declare them to be on par with each other and D2 not being story and storytelling improvement.
Also people directing these cutscenes most likely are same people who did for their Halo games. You hated those too for their "goofiness", or?
If it was unclear to you I am talking about the trailers only duh so yeah I guess the final game can improve on these snippets, but the devs don't have any good will after D1.
Haven't played any modern Halo games.
Having not played D1, it won me the fuck over! Much excite! I deliberately held off many purchases of D1 just to wait for D2.
Wait, so is there really content that takes 7/8 hours in one sitting?
I'm on the fence about picking this up (only played a few hours of D1 for various reasons), but there's no way I have space in my life for something like that.
Lol! Some blind raids I did took like 8 hrs just to do the first couple of checkpoints. Super fun, but man did we bang our heads on vex and hive architecture for a while. Can't wait to see what they come up with this time!That sounds like doing a blind-raid. If that's a thing you were going to do, it would only happen the one time. Raids among experienced players are more in the 2 hour range and even if only one person knows the mechanics, they're far shorter than 7-8 hours..
Weird thing is I watched that trailer and thought these graphics/animations look so much better than d1. I cannot wait to play this game forever.It's a twist of the tiring "Destiny 1.5" bullshit
The shitposting is getting bold

They won't 100%.
It's a planned move to encourage double dipping, which will absolutely happen.

The fact that guardians come back after death is a mechanic completely in step with the narrative. the player is a guardian BECAUSE they can fight again and again and again.Also, ludonarrative dissonance will always win out for me in games like this. 'Loss' means nothing in a world where a zillion Guardians can dance their way around a campfire, tbh. But that's my problem.
This game is so weird. I don't care about the story. I think the art design is bland and I'm not a fan of all the muted colors. I don't think this game will improve or iterate on the first game in any significant way. I didn't really enjoy the beta.
However, I am ridiculously excited for it, I'm double-dipping, and I'm sure I'll spend another 500 hours with it. The gameplay is just that good.
Anyone know when reviews are dropping? I'm waiting to see how much content the game has before committing 100%. I'm fighting the temptation to pre-order given all my friends are jumping in and I want in too.

Watching videos of this running at 60 FPS on PC is making me salivate. My friends, who may or may not even get the game are on PS4, and my living room set up only for comfy couch controller play at the moment, but still, PC version is so tempting.

Hope the story is standalone since I only played vanilla Destiny.
