Wrath of Dagon Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 Marketing campaign has been horrible, "we've got blood and sex, and it's really dark, I mean super duper dark, and did I mention we have blood?", but that doesn't mean the game will be bad, they're just marketing to the LCD trying to improve their sales.

cronicler Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 I thought Bioware was developing this not Epic....? IG. We kick ass and not even take names.

Bos_hybrid Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 My problem is the apparent need to have a "violence" trailer. Did Mass Effect have a violence trailer? It didn't even have a lot (any?) blood and it sold well. This makes Bioware look desperate. Didn't ME have a trailer advertising blue alien sex? Its just a marketing strategy not aimed at traditional Bio fans(because lets face it, they already have their dollar), one that will most likely boost sales.

Its just a marketing strategy not aimed at traditional Bio fans(because lets face it, they already have their dollar), one that will most likely boost sales. Boosting sales at the risk of alienating their loyal fanbase. EA strikes again. On another note, did that mentioned ME trailer feature Eiffel 65 music? I forget. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
bhlaab Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Oops, Bioware's going to have to do damage control again!
Guest PoziomyPion Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 (edited) I can already imagine FOX NEWS reporting on that game (I hope they do!): FOX CHICK: A Canadian game developer Bioware known recently by making MassEffect, a game in which you can sodomize certain characters, male,female or even LESBIAN ALIENS stirrs up more controversy with their new game: Dragon Age! Apparently Dragon Age is all about killing, torturing, spilling blood of innocent people and sodomizing , raping, having unprotected sex with random people and blood drenched DRAGONS who are anatomically correct! MR. Gaider can you give us your opinion on that matter? Did this trailer really show in-game content? FATTY: Yeah, but... FOX CHICK: OMG!HIDE YOUR CHILDREN FROM THOSE PERVY CANADIANS! KILL 'EM! KILL 'EM ALL! Now let's move on to another news! Edited May 11, 2009 by PoziomyPion

Gfted1 Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 (edited) Hmm, I was fine with the video but the choice of soundtrack made me raise my eyebrows. Not that I have an aversion to cursing but Im pretty surprised that a professional, public company would so freely attach a song entited "This is the new ****" to a trailer released worldwide. *shakes cane at everyone* Edited May 11, 2009 by Gorth Circumventing language filter "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
Amentep Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 (edited) I didn't really have a problem with the trailer other than it was repetitive (but then it was called violence, so I should have seen that coming). Didn't listen with the sound up so no thoughts on the song. Actually the only thing I couldn't help but thinking was that I really wish Bioware would fix the necks on their people. Most people's necks aren't actually the same length as their head. I've seen that exact same neck distortion since at least KotOR... Edited May 11, 2009 by Amentep I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
Atreides Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Think the trailer'd been better if they played the sword backstabbing scenes to the tune of Now it's you-know-who I've got the you-know-what I stick it in the you-know-where You know why, you don't care Now it's you-know-who I've got the you-know-what I stick it in the you-know-where You know why, you don't care Now it's you-know-who I've got the you-know-what I stick it in the you-know-where You know why, you don't care Now it's you-know-who I've got the you-know-what I stick it in the you-know-where You know why, you don't care Spreading beauty with my katana.
Guest PoziomyPion Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 It's on GameTrailers now: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/49052.html Judging by the comments Bioware nailed it ! Kids liked it.
Gfted1 Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 (edited) ^You should skim the 40-something page thread over at Bioware. Its got everything from praise to "Im quitting the forum", lol. EDIT: Oh, and sorry for that edit you had to do up there Gorth, I figured if I replaced a letter with an asterisk it wouldnt be a big deal. Edited May 11, 2009 by Gfted1 "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
Cl_Flushentityhero Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 I think at the end of the day what they were looking for was a reaction, and they got one.
Meshugger Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 It's on GameTrailers now: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/49052.htmlJudging by the comments Bioware nailed it ! Kids liked it. At first i figured that they liked it because of guilty pleasure, like i for example, have a huge crush on '80s action movies. A simple 'It's so bad it is good'-reaction you might call it. But really... Who are those people? Do they interact with people on an everyday basis? Do they only crawl out at night? "Some men see things as they are and say why?""I dream things that never were and say why not?"- George Bernard Shaw"Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man."- Friedrich Nietzsche "The amount of energy necessary to refute bull**** is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it." - Some guy
Blodhemn Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 That was pathetic. Sorry Bioware, 300 did it first and a thousand times better. I'm not sure 300 did anything "first", maybe the first at ripping off about a dozen movies before it.
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 (edited) Eh, the point is that was a rip-off of the 300 trailer. From the commander's voice barking a speech to the slow-mo bloodbath, the choice of song and right down to the sex scene. Edited May 11, 2009 by WILL THE ALMIGHTY "Alright, I've been thinking.

Llyranor Posted May 11, 2009 Author Posted May 11, 2009 Don't worry, guys. Bioware retracted the previous trailer and released a new one to apologize for their longtime fans: (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
Llyranor Posted May 11, 2009 Author Posted May 11, 2009 (edited) This was the only good thing to come out of that trailer. Edited May 11, 2009 by Llyranor (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
