EA Rickrolls Yahtzee

[LilGherkin]

Did he at least take it out to an open field and beat it up like the Office Space fax machine?

 

[Mad World]

Time for Yahtzee to return the favour.

 

[Tears of Blood]

I demand video.

...

Lol. As if I could. Still, I would totally watch that several times.

 

[TheEvilCheese]

I am getting that game...
probably never even play it but what the hell..

 

[fuckwit]

Awesome!

 

[AntiChrist]

Impressive!

 

[Spacelord]

Now THAT'S marketing.

 

[MrDarkling]

haha wonderful xD
Wish I could have seen such a sight XP.

If I had a recording of it i'd edit it and add the hammer song featured in brawl xD

 

[appleblush]

What do you mean you don't see Yahtzee annihilate something with a hammer every day? Does he use a chainsaw sometimes?

That's pretty clever though. Kudo kudos to EA.

 

[Kingsman]

This is the best thing I've ever seen publicizing anything since Bob's Game.

 

[Brnin8]

You should have recorded Yahtzee smashing the box, it would have been a "smashing" success!
EA is still not in my good books what with all their DRM crap but that is pretty funny. Although I'd say they just did it so that Yahtzee would review the game sooner, they may or may not have noticed that he will rip the game a new one if he doesn't like it, more so than usual!

 

[KaiRai]

shows EA aren't the faceless corporation of gaming =p

That's because Activision hold this title dearly

 

[Guy32]

It reminds me of the scenario in SAW, where they have to kill the other person and take the key out of their stomach. Except the key is the battery and the music and humility is whats killing him.

 

[Falcon123]

I have newfound respect for EA. I may get this game solely because it messed with Yahtzee

 

[Ankrian]

Yahtzee truly needs to respond to this not with a review, but with something more extreme yet true to his style. but also, brave EA, you have caught my attention indeed (well at least until your games start sucking ass again)

 

[Misterian]

that's the wierdest thing I ever saw a game company do, at least since Nintendo gave 'Mario Oscars' to their favorite employees.

makes me wonder though, what if a different game company does something like this with Yahtzee?

as far as I knew, first Peter Molyneux expresses his over-optimistic nature to Yahtzee about Fable 2, next Infamous and Prototype engage that women's bra competition thing, now this.

seems like Yahtzee's the game critic that truly catches the Gaming Industry's attention, is he?

 

[kotorfan04]

Yes, EA: A hell of a lot better than Activision.

 

[Vohn_exel]

Haha, thats pretty funny. It won't inpsire me to buy the game at all, but still, that was a pretty funny stunt. Maybe it wasn't marketing though, maybe it was just their way of telling Yahtzee to go to hell

 

[swytchblayd]

...That's one helluva way to garner media attention. Hopefully ol' Ben's gotten over that gag by now (though knowing him, he'll probably rant about it sometime soon [or send them a "fake" mail bomb back...hehehe], and we will all enjoy it), but that's just absolutely fucking brilliant XD

Wonder if they'll send him a complementary early copy in reprisal, so he can bash it before everyone else does.

 

[lvl9000_woot]

Hmm...thanks EA! Now know how I'm going to get back at that guy who made fun of me in grade school
