Destiny Looks Great And Sounds Terrible
Honestly you could mute the E3 2014 Destiny trailer and have the time of your life. Look at all those sexy pew pews, sleek starships, shimmering special effects and one hilariously rotund bruiser. It looks like a good, clean, slightly generic if agreeably energetic Space Opera.Look away from the screen though, and even the dulcet tones of Peter Dinklage and Bill Nighy can’t save this geyser of cliché. It dribbles derivative lore in sombre tones. It’s a hokey effort to mask a shameful reality - than a creatively stunted six year old could have penned this drama. In crayon.And don’t get me started on the fact every major subject rocks the definitive article before its title. The Traveller. The Darkness. The Guardians. The City. The Fallen.
Having that many super ultimate maximum badasses in one title can only ramp up tension, eh Bungie? God forbid you’d have to think of an actual name for your city… Or prophesised cadre of elite darkness bashing gunmen…Moving away from the literal interpretation, Destiny still sounds balls and looks ballistic.
