Bungie released:

A. A cinematic trailer that was awesome to watch as a stand alone video. But as a hype video for the game? Terrible.
When Destiny was in hype mode, they release the video of the Hunter, Warlock and Titan kicking ass in the solar system. It was awesome. I saw that hunter and said to myself, "that will be me!! I'm going to kick ass like that Hunter!!"

But this cinematic? Everyone died. They set up a story, for a character...and you think, that will be me!! But then he dies. Everyone dies. So already I'm expecting a game where....well, you're gonna die.

B. The in-game trailer. Generic gameplay footage with a generic voice over explaining the game. And the footage wasn't even compelling! Let me tell you something Bungie. I'm pretty tired of hearing about "customizable custimazation to customize your custom" blablabla. I've been using a garbage monster for 10 years that I hate. I'm tired of your "unlimited customization:" promises.

C. Alpha Build Content Creators: Ok, I'm a console player. Know what I hate? G**D**n PC streamers sweating up my good time. I don't give a care about what a gaggle of PC only streamers think about the game. Add to that, watching them play, it didn't seem at all like they cared about the objective. Whether it's how they played, or how the video was edited, the objective based extraction didn't matter. They were playing a ROYALE game against other players. (of which there are only 18) And when I'm told that "weapons and loadouts don't matter, skilled, tactical players will always win out [paraphrase]" well guess what...you might as well say "bring your sweat rag, noob, or get your a** packed"

Eff Marathon. I'm out.
