After the last video, I feel Lenny Kravitz has really earned a place in the squad. Slightly posh Brit and a Krogan just seem like an awesome crew to roll with. An odd couple, if you will. Sadly, this repeats the Garrus/Javik hegemony from ME3. There's only ever two really awesome choices, then some other assholes who take up air on the ship. We should really be able to space them.

It's always weird when gamers post bad ad copy as if bad ad copy is not a thing that has existed for like 1000 years. Somewhere I'm sure there's a website that aggregates all the hilarious things that record labels have said about their bands over the years. That stuff alone is so much worse than anything Bioware has written.

That's not ad copy that's literally the description of the character used in the game and on their own website. But by all means keep defending their poo poo writing.

BARONS CYBER SKULL posted:That's not ad copy that's literally the description of the character used in the game and on their own website. There's no need to poo poo up every thread, every time. It's clear I wasn't defending the writing, because I went out of my way to call it "bad ad copy". I didn't know it was in the game, though it being in the game doesn't really mean it wasn't written as ad copy anyway. I took it from context that you were posting ad copy, because the discussion was about pre-release hype about squadmates. But by all means keep replying and trying to start a dumb internet fight because you've had a bad day or whatever.

I'm impressed anyone at all is thinking of anything marketing related as anything other than any old vaguely legally compliant bullshit fabricated to shift units. Talking about the writing quality of ads

DancingShade posted:I'm impressed anyone at all is thinking of anything marketing related as anything other than any old vaguely legally compliant bullshit fabricated to shift units. That's my point. When I used to work at radio stations (which are a thing that used to exist) nobody read a particularly egregious press kit and then went around showing the other DJs and saying "Heh, I bet this album will be poo poo, right?" I've never seen anyone, other than in Games and other gaming boards, presume to make any judgement at all on a product's quality based on its advertising. And hey, it's not just bad ads that are deceptive. "This is the new poo poo" was really bad, but the game ended up being good. However, Fable 3 had that television spot that used The Black Angels' "Young Men Dead" which made it seem like probably the most badass game ever and we all know how that turned out.

I don't want to get excited about this game because the same dickhead responsible for that weeaboo poo poo in ME3 is in charge of this, so I've been avoiding hype. Has that guy ever like, apologized to people publicly for that loving idiotic villain with plot armor? Or for the ending of ME3? Is there any awareness there?

I think they said in an earlier interview that the name for the guy-who-charges background is Scrapper. Which just reminds me of City of Heroes.

It seems super easy to do halfway decent video game marketing but I'm starting to get the feeling it doesn't matter how good it bad it is like clearly DAO had the stupidest marketing campaign and still sold well.
