EA Rickrolls Yahtzee

[Space Cowgirl]

I swear, this would've been freaking brilliant to see and I actually would've payed money to see it. Well, thanks for sharing this it make my day a lot better. I also give much kudos to EA for Rickrolling Yahtzee.

I wonder what they'll do for lust.....

Lust has already been done. It wasn't a good one. At all.

You probably missed Sloth as well, but I can't be bothered to tell you about it. Zzzzzzzzzz

 

[Valiance]

Glad they gave him the hammer and obviously knew what was to be done with it.

You have to hand it to EA. Their marketing campaign for this game is absolutely genius.

And Yahtzee demolished that bloody box.

You mean like the fake protests or more controversy than actual game info?

Would you say that the fake protest and other silly moves have increased your awareness about the game? I mean, I'm not sure I believe the maxim but there is a well known saying about this exact thing: there's no such thing as bad publicity.

All I know is that I don't care about Dante's Inferno. Especially after those crappy stunts.

Wow EA actually have a sense of humor! Of course this seems to also re-affirm their propensity for notorious evil.

 

[RanD00M]

The sin of wrath is yours. You have succumbed to anger and opened an infernal spring that seethes with dark waters. Quelled not, your anger begot rage. The waters have risen unchecked and ye will be drowned in stinking mire.

Go to Hell.

We'll that's a bit harsh isn't it?

 

[WhiteTiger225]

Yay, EA actually had a fucking original thought! Now we are one step closer to Fox News not gagging on fundamentalist cock

But honestly.. Dante's Inferno looks like a god of war clone, and seems to show the power of a hit as well as a low budget MMORPG from the gameplay trailer XD

This Dante's inferno advertising scheme is getting epic!

The game is going to have a lot to live up to.

I can't help but wonder what would happen if you just let it run out?
Nothing I assume but still...

 

[Chaos Marine]

Is EA pulling a Valve?

 

[Fasckira]

This is truly epic. EA have a bad history for shafting gamers (cough cough zero hour cough) but this is a new breed of evil that they've taken to

 

[silasbufu]

well I guess they should do a prank simulator then..would be more creative than most of their ideas

 

[The_ModeRazor]

Heh, it seems even EA can do good stuff.
Sometimes.

 

[JoshGod]

somehow i think thisll come back to haunt ea first chance yahtzee gets to review the game.

not so sure it was a clever idea

then again he may of enjoyed it....

and everyone says its 'creative' well after thousands of people have done it already then they join in, noo thats really poor and late copying the only difference is you have to hammer it to shut up.

i h8 ea even more...
i like yahtzee even more...

 

[Tharwen]

Now that is clever.
All this Dante's Inferno advertisment is working, I wasn't even going to try the game out before, but I am now.

NO! You're succumbing to their cheap marketing ploys! That's bad! BAD!

You know you want to....... I don't, but YOU do.....

D: Oh noes!

[Murlin]

Best marketing idea ever since boothbabes first appeared

 

[jthm]

Any game that tries this hard to make headlines and news is compensating for something, and probably not wang size. I'll be renting this.
