Not quite comprehensive (Destiny)

What about D) somebody watches the trailer and likes it, only to find that the tone of the game is different but something they also like, whether or not they were led to expect it,

Or E) somebody watches the trailer and likes it, and finds that the tone of the game is in line with it, because they play it with friends who like to goof off and treat the serious story as something attached to the fun action shooter game they're playing?

Shrug.

I see your point, but I suspect you are missing mine. Working from the presupposition that Destiny 2 is roughly in line with what Destiny 1 through Rise of Iron has been like in terms of tone, then this trailer is false advertising. Plain and simple. They are portraying the game as something that it isn't. Both of your suggested possibilities are plausible, but could only be considered a lucky break from Bungie's point of view.

Lets say you go into a bookstore and ask the staff to recommend a great political thriller. They pull out a book and say "this is exactly what you're looking for!" so you buy it. But when you read it, you discover it's actually magic realism. You might really like the book anyway, but that doesn't mean the staff at the bookstore did a good job.
