Hold up, is Destiny 2 going to be funny?

If Bungie wants to improve Destiny's storytelling, injecting a bit of personality would be a great start. The first trailers show promise.

A lil humor here and there won't do no harm

It's actually great because it's based on the characters personality, not the game. When crafting a devastating story of loss and revenge, you need levity. It's how we deal with horrible shit.

The trailer wasn't funny, but I do appreciate their attempt to add humor. Unless you are really terrible, humor is never a bad thing to strive for. Worst case scenario, it earns you sympathy points.

Judging by the trailer, no. The script was horrendously unfunny.

Gary! ...or Gil, Glen? I dunno, something with a G!!!

Seems very tryhard to me, because the 1st game hade no story but a serious space opera tone now they can pretend its borderlands in space and people will buy the latest version of this dlc simulator.

So they're self aware now at how poorly written(term used loosely) the story and characters Are so they try to spin it into some sort of self parody inside joke of a game

Oh and loot, because let's pretend there hasn't been a better loot shooter that came out back in 2012

"PREORDER NOW TO SIGN OF FOR your FREE dem, um..BETA"

Around and round we go

The game had a story and lore, it was just extremely dumb of them that you couldn't access the grimoire cards in-game

and they shouldn't lock the beta behind pre-orders to garner back trust from gamers who were deceived like myself.

It's looking super cheesy till now and who ever is in charge of marketing should get slapped. I swear these are just way to similar to those whole "greatness await" Sony commercials, same vibe all the way through. If there was one game that could be mythical and take it's self way to serious, it would be would be destiny

[Npugz7]

Im worried this game is gonna be a copy and paste from destiny 1 so far I've only seen characters from destiny 1 and the cabal. Doesn't look very promising.

[Applejack]

You basically just described most sequels. Also, we haven't seen any gameplay whatsoever. Stop hating on the game, it isn't "cool" anymore.

I don't want to hear out of context jokes. Zavala shouldn't be making joke EVER, and Ikorashould remain dry and humorless as well. Cayde-6 on the other hand should be banging out the jokes like there is no tomorrow (because it looks like there might not actually be one!) I want to hear nothing but death threats and yells of vengeance from Lord Shaxx. And of course Saladin should be his normal doom-sayer self.
