Destiny Had Professionally Written Jokes, Didn't Use Any of Them

Did yous know that Destiny was supposed to include professionally written, knee-slapping jokes? Neither did we, but plainly cleverly written quips that should have provided some much needed comedic relief to an overly serious partner, Ghost.

Lines were written by David Cross and Brian Posehn to instill a picayune humor into Destiny's ubiquitous companion.

Well before the release of Destiny, ii great comedians were invited to take a wait at a pre-release version of Destiny to play it and contrive a few jokes for Ghost along the way. David Cross, who plays Tobias Fünke in Arrested Evolution, talked to IGN about his interest.

"Brian Posehn and I got asked and jumped at the risk. We were flown up to Bellevue, Washington to do a punch-upwardly on the Ghost graphic symbol in Destiny well-nigh a twelvemonth ago. We were both very excited virtually information technology. They did not use a single, lonely affair that we wrote, which is a shame because we wrote some stuff that – you know, we're gamers, and they… – I would imagine somebody somewhere said, 'We can't inject this levity or sense of humour into information technology.'"

Unfortunately none of those jokes were included in the concluding build, and so Ghost instead took on a very droll personality instead. Almost of the jokes, co-ordinate to David Cross, were homages to gamers and their trade, witty remarks and puns that made light of the overall serious nature of Destiny.

"Some of it was self-reverential. And it was only stuff that was making the states express joy. Nosotros were in a room, we'd play a lot, and some of it was winking to gamers."

- David Cross

Destiny tin certainly be a very serious game, far more than than most I've played. But Ghost especially has a propensity to be very dry. Do you lot guys think that Ghost could use a scrap more than liveliness to his monotone nature?
