WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 It wouldn't bother me as much if it wasn't a complete rip-off of the 300 trailer. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"
Purkake Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 It wouldn't bother me as much if it wasn't a complete rip-off of the 300 trailer. They could have at least ripped the cool music from 300 then...
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 Dear god... what was that? "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am?

Syraxis Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 Me thinks that EA's marketing team released this instead of BioWare, without any sort of communication before hand. Dear god... what was that? What BIS' Fallout 3 was killed off for.
Deadly_Nightshade Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 Me thinks that EA's marketing team released this instead of BioWare, without any sort of communication before hand. We can only hope that was the case. "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot
Jaesun Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 There aren't enough Picard Face-palm pictures on the entirety of the internet to describe that video. Welcome to your new overlords Bioware! Music was ok. I love Marylin Manson. <3 Some of my Youtube Classic Roland MT-32 Video Game Music videos | My Music | My Photography
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 Just checked the forums... and they LOVE IT. "Alright, I've been thinking.

Cl_Flushentityhero Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 That was kind of appalling. Also, I'm going to feel seriously shorted when they devote all that time to showing off army-size battles and then we discover you don't actually get to be in them.
Syraxis Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 Apparently it wasn't bad enough for the fanboys to not defend them, ugh I feel a bit slower from watching that.
Nightshape Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 That entire video STINKS of EA brand marketing, absolute CRAP! I came up with Crate 3.0 technology. Crate 4.0 - we shall just have to wait and see.Down and out on the Solomani RimNow the Spinward Marches don't look so GRIM!
Dakar Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 I liked it until the ****ty Manson song came in. Then I laughed out loud. Come on, hard rock for fantasy RPG?
Slowtrain Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 Wow. An almost unversal negative reaction here. Pretty unusual. Nobody's even arguing. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

cronicler Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 (edited) -tried to post a rant defending praising the video. My skills are not up to it I guess. I will be back with version 4 later- Edited May 10, 2009 by cronicler IG. We kick ass and not even take names.
Maria Caliban Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 Just checked the forums... and they LOVE IT. I'm going to guess you didn't actually read the 44 page thread about the trailer, in which dozens of people say they don't like it. Or the locked threads in which people say they don't like it.

No I did not. But I did write that post hastily. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad!

Volourn Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 The video itelf was great; but definiotely over the top which, of course, was the whole point of a video termed 'Violence'. However, that song is one worst songs ever. I hope it will not be in the actual game 'cause that will make DA's soundtrack the worst BIO game soundtrack ever on that one song alone. H O R R I B L E DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Niten_Ryu Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 Music was horrible. Video reminded me of some of the lower quality WoW fanfiction movies. Actually this movie was worse as framerate of the game seem to be choppy as hell and it makes already blocky characters look even worse. Hopefully movie was made by some unknown alpha/beta tester and not by anyone at Bioware or EA. Let's play Alpha Protocol My misadventures on youtube.
Jaesun Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 The truly sad thing is, the Marketing Department at EA has never marketed an RPG before..... And have no idea what to do. So..... violence and sex sells..... profits! I honestly really really feel sad for Bioware. Some of my Youtube Classic Roland MT-32 Video Game Music videos | My Music | My Photography

So..... violence and sex sells..... profits! I honestly really really feel sad for Bioware. Actually: Who is actually responsible for this trailer? BioWare.
Magister Lajciak Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 Seriously, though, this trailer was aimed at a different demographic than classical CRPG players. Although it seems much maligned both here and on BioWare boards, it is nothing to get worked up about - after all, expanding the popularity of CRPGs by marketing the game to people in other game market segments may get them to play the CRPG and some of them might find that CRPGs actually have a lot to offer, thus expanding the market for them and benefiting us all.
