Even thou i don't care about this game, i want it to do well so all this advertising isn't a waste of money.
EA's pockets are deep. 3 million to them is chump change.fozzy360 said:I guess I'm the only one who's enjoyed EA's marketing for this game...
Anywho, I can understand why they're pulling out all the stops for this game. EA has had a difficult time trying to sell their their new IPs, which is a shame because most of them have been at least pretty good. But a $3 million dollar commercial? Just one commercial?
At least Mass Effect 2 is selling pretty well.
I have no idea...but, I highly doubt going to claw the money back...AkJay said:Why are they advertising this thing so much?

And EA can't use "Go To Hell" as the tagline for the spot? So they can air a trailer for a game that's all about fighting supernatural foes in a dark, twisted environment with a lot of violence (or, at least enough to air on t.v.), and they can't use "Go To Hell?"
"You can't say go to hell! It'll offend parents and the children's ears will bleed!"
This makes my head hurt.
I like to think EA created their own think-tank to come up with a new tagline when this was shot down. I can just imagine 10 people in a room brainstorming and pacing around trying to come up with something. They did spend $3 million on this. They gotta make it work somehow.tmujir955 said:No worries!fozzy360 said:True.tmujir955 said:EA's pockets are deep. 3 million to them is chump change.fozzy360 said:I guess I'm the only one who's enjoyed EA's marketing for this game...

Idea Guy:"Hey boss! I thought of a new tagline!"
Boss: "What!"
Idea Guy: "Go. To. Heck."
Boss:... It's FERPECT!
At first I was sceptical, but now I just desperately hope that this game is as good as it looks.Vigilantis said:Sounds good to me but the game already had me with this trailer
These guys definitely want you to buy their game it seems, I sure hope it doesn't fail.
Because it brings nothing new to the table other than back-alley rape of the source material, so they hope that enough advertisements will make people not notice that. And they are doing well with the advertisements, I have to give them that.AkJay said:Why are they advertising this thing so much?
Most people are stuck on the fact that it's like god of war (except that the magic in it actually feels natural) or that it's not sticking to the book (which would never have made a good game since it's basically about Dante getting his hand held through hell). Some people are stuck on the fact that it's doing a very good job of advertising. There's also the fact that it's made by EA.KingPiccolOwned said:Can somebody please tell me why everyone seems to want this to fail? Either it's people who don't understand the idea of an adaptation screaming like EA went around and set all the copies of Dante's Inferno in the world on fire. Or it's people who seem to think that God of War invented the hack 'n slash genre hooting out "GOD OF WAR COLNE !!!!11111". Seriously where's the desire for new ip's? I thought that this was something we would've prayed for last decade.
Thank you. At least you can appreciate the ads for their controversial and excruciating entertainment value like I can.Macgyvercas said:Okay that settles it. I am so getting this game! And even if the game bombs, I'd pay them just for the amount of epic advertising they've done. It was highly amusing to watch.
