Most superficial reasons you bought a game? I bet you can't beat me

>buy Prey 2017 because I like how clean Bethesda logo is
>buy FFXV because it has American Express (I like their designs and logo)
>buy Doom 2016 because of ost
>buy quantum break because aiden gillen is in it
>buy fallout 4 and skyrim special edition because of toddposting
>buy infinite warfare because of that one gun that you can split in two
>buy battlefield 1 because of WE posting
>buy overwatch because tracer is kind of cute
>buy watch dogs 2 because of SHE MAD posting

Just a few off the top of my head. Some of these I also use when I can't decide between two or more games

I bought Guilty Gear Xrd because of how fluid the animations are and I jerk off to them.
I also bought Ar Tonelico games so I could understand the stuff I was jerking off to.

You should play the first Homefront. It's damn impressive how much advertising it has within its entire two hour campaign.

>buy FFXV because it has American Express

Literally the first time I noticed this. This is obvious bait. At least bullshit us on how you like Cup Noodles. That at least is shoved everywhere

>buy DOOM because of ost

Least retarded reason. Good OSTs can make or break a game sometimes.

Literally just a sign.

It's more the concept of little details
I like when games have real life cars in them too because it sells me on the world being realistic
Yes Amex in FF looks silly but that's probably how it would be if FF was real, weird and disjointed

Japan airlines ad as well
>>
>>381286460
Meh I kinda see your point but again...its nearly completely missable. Seems like a detail so fucking small theres really no reason for it to be there. Then to say you bought a game on the sole miniscule detail that is barely noticable. I aint buying it
>>
>>381286706
I'll give you the Korean one. Shouldve been Wutai BBQ
>>
>>381283897
Doom was on sale

best deal ever
>>
>>381287417
yeah it's never mentioned or even addressed by anyone in the game. it's probably only there because in Japan amex did a promotion where if you signed up for new cards you got free ffxv merch
>>

its not realistic when all these things are just advertisements they get paid to do, meaning that those things always stick out lie a sore thumb being too bright or detailed because they're trying to sell you shit

Bought Soul Calibur 4 for the model viewer. Still have my copy and haven't played a single match.
Pirated the latest Dead or Alive game because the girls had cheerleader outfits as DLC
Bought Overwatch because I thought Tracer was cute and Widowmaker appealed to my femdom fetish.
I'm absolutely terrible and don't really enjoy fighting games but I bought Marvel vs Capcom 3 and Injustice because I love capeshit
Bought Watch Dogs 2 because I pretended it was a James Bond simulator with all sorts of wacky gadgets and stealthing.

>>381283897

>Buy Hellgate London because I loved Diablo 2

I keep the CE box on my desk to this day to remind me. It's worked marvelously. I've never pre-ordered anything since, nor bought any sort of "edition".
>>
>>381283897
>buy Doom 2016 because of ost

i dont see how this is superficial since soundtrack is 103% of a game according to my best friends at V

Amazing. I always wondered why so much money is invested into advertising, but turns out there are actual brainless retards that it works wonders on. You're every marketing department's wet dream, congrats anon.

That Pixies "Where is my mind" cover drives me up the wall. I love the original but the cover has been showing up in all kinds of ads the past couple years.

I honestly bought NieR Automata because of 2Bs butt. It actually ended up being a fucking badass game and by the time I could freely look at her arse I was really into the game and the story itself. It made me buy the original NieR.
