I like this trailer. I actually prefer live-action or CGI trailers to gameplay ones (though I do think games should release both, or at least some sort of gameplay video on YouTube) because it's very rare that a gameplay mechanic is what hooks me on a game. With the exception of For Honor, which would've never sold me on its premise - that swordplay mechanic got my attention - I prefer a trailer to show the game's world, tone or story. The Witcher 3's 'A Night To Remember' trailer, the one higher up in this thread, was perfect for it. The music, the use of the Black Blood potion before the fight, the glitter-bomb and the lullaby characterising witchers as the monster even monsters are afraid of. All of that combined to give The Witcher a truly unique feel.
These Destiny trailers do the same thing for me. I go into the game expecting fun - if simple - combat in a variety of locations. I like the fact it makes the boss fights come across as theme park rides because that's how the game treats them. There's little difference in tone between the trailers and the game itself.
No, Destiny is guiltier of far bigger crimes. Like trying to sell itself as 'games as a service' and then parcelling up all its content and selling it to us and ultimately making us regret buying the base game when they were only going to offer the 'complete' edition later on. The bastards. I was so looking forward to a developing storyline with added features. I was expecting a kind of MMO-style alteration, or even like Crusader Kings II does. See, in that, even if you don't buy the DLC, your core game gets updated anyway. I haven't yet bought the Horse Lords pack and I've still got the new minor titles and court interface. It's not a major addition, but it's something.
Destiny decided that 'games as a service' meant 'pay for DLC' as though that wasn't already a thing, and then if you paid £15 you got a bunch of missions and some new weapons and armour. If you didn't pay £15, you didn't get the weapons and armour. Which is fine. But what you also didn't get was any new game content. No new missions. No reason to continue playing the game after you beat the story, because it had nothing else to offer.
And I know the Vault of Glass was a thing. It was such a pain in the arse to organise though, I never actually got to play it because I was either at university or my 'clan' was at work. With no matchmaking system, I was pretty effectively locked out of the shitty vault.
But, no, if I load up Destiny right now, I guarantee I'll be playing the exact same game I stopped playing months ago. New daily challenges with alternating weapon skins are not representative of 'new content.' "Kill fifty bad guys FOR THE QUEEN" was no different to killing fifty bad guys for my own sake. Just fuck off, Destiny, we're not mates.
