>wake up
>check local news, see that BioWare is so desperate for Anthem to be successful they made a fucking corn maze

What are the worst vidya marketing stunts
>>
>>385049186
There is literally nothing wrong with corn mazes
>>
>>385049186
>A fucking corn maze
Whoever in marketing thought this was a good idea should have to pay for all of this stunt out of his own pocket then fired.
>>
>>385049306
There's plenty with this one.
>>
>>385049186
ah yes. the corn maze. now we have their attention
>>
That's pretty cool.

I wonder if you realize that their marketing is working right now and you're acting as a vessel for it.

Real fucking good maze, Bioware.
>>
Where's the exit? I don't see an exit, unless that's it down there next to the entrance. If that's the case, then wouldn't that imply that individuals just turn right around and leave without bothering while idiots will wander around just to end up where they started?
>>
>>385050298
That's a pretty effective analogy for a bioware game.

>>385049186
Didnt Just Cause 3 have a contest to win an island?

Why'd they think this messy scribble was a good idea for this? There's nothing else to represent their game???

Its not even a maze, the left and right sides don't actually connect anywhare but the entrance, unless you take a turn right at the start there is no way to actually complete the maze.

That just seems like such a stupid over sight
>>
>>385050812
Yeah, not going into the shitty maze
>>
>>385049186
Why did they cut Master Chief into the corn field? Is Bioware making the next Halo game?
>>
>>385049186
Not video games, but the light signs made to promote Aqua Teen Hunger Force. It's harmless sure, but don't try and tell me that some random light signs wouldn't make some people a bit cautious without the context.
>>
Worst vidya marketing campaign was the GamerGate campaign to promote Revolution 60. So pathetic. Bad game, bad advertisement.
>>

Is that the one where they called in the bomb squad?

That shit was hilarious, and I doubt most of current /v/ are old enough to remember it.

im sure those corn farmers are happy
i cant imagine how well their publisher is taking this for wasting money on a silly marketing gimmick

how are you gonna even get exposure for your game when that people see when they visit the maze is corn?

Running through the maze seems more fun than playing a new bioware game.

That being said, no that wouldn't make me nervous. The fucking flip phones we carried around when that happened were more technology advanced than some LED lights.

It would have helped if the police didn't decide to force a panic. The cops knew they were lite-bright boards, they just decided to treat it like a full fledged terror attack because they needed to justify their budget.

Acclaim offering to pay for funerals if they could put an advertisment for ShadowMan 2 on the gravestone.

>>385051728
I don't think European trucks are inherently more dangerous, it's just that there are more people inclined to use them for ill there.

I would come back from the grave and haunt my hometown forever if my family okayed a shitty advertisement being on my gravestone.

Ouya, for thinking anyone outside of their retarded backers actually cared about the "system".
>>
>>385051902
I think it's more that European cities are actually laid out for pedestrian traffic, so there are more potential targets. In most American cities you literally cannot go anywhere without driving because their urban planning is so shitty.
