>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.
A maize maze.
>>385049186
BioWare does wacky promotion like this all the time.
>>385049186
Good thing they wrote their name on it.
>>385049430
The Indians used to call it...
>>385049186
I wonder if you realize that their marketing is working right now and you're acting as a vessel for it.
Remember dead space and the Christian cult
Well, me and many others didn't know about it until you posted it here. Stop promoting shitty companies.
>how do we recover from the embarrassment of mass effect andromeda?
>corn maze?
Solved it.
>>385049348
>want to end up on kotaku's front page
>make a corn maze for probably real cheap
>probably end up there I haven't checked
>>385049967
Excellent design by Bioware as usual.
>>385049186
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?
>>385049186
Why's the entire right half of the maze a complete waste?
>>385049967
>>385050257
>walk in
>realize it's shit
>walk out
nice
This looks like some weird ninja turtle with highheels, it's a mess.
Why'd they think this messy scribble was a good idea for this? There's nothing else to represent their game???
>>385049186
>advertise Shadowman on your gravestone, get free college tuition
how do i reach this area???
>>385050419
Its reserved for DLC that's canceled
There are three possible endings to this maze. All completely unique and thought-provoking. Can you spot them?
>>385050550
Noclip.
EA hiring people to pretend to be offended for a DMC game.
>>385050550
just a glitch lad haha
everybody makes mistakes, even international corporations with hundreds of millions in funding :)
>>385049186
So can anyone see the easy way out?
>>385050419
>>385050257
>>385049967
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.
>>385051132
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.
>>385049784
Wasn't that Dante's Inferno.It's all EA so really, my fucks are in a deficit.
>>385051132
They overestimated the popularity of their shitty show.
>>385049186
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.
>>385051132
They were fucking lite-brite boards. The only people who wouldn't know what those are are terrorists who grew up in "just-recently-bombedistan."
Bioware is undoubtedly shit, but I'm guessing a large chunk of /v/ is too young to remember stupid viral shit like "I Love Bees".
>>385051346
Wires and a battery? Woooo. And yet the same city let some chucklefucks blow up a pressure cooker a few years later.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=s8cG3AZjaD8
You know I had to do it
I'm surprised Bioware wasn't killed off after MEA
>>385049186
>What are the worst vidya marketing stunts
>>385051346
It would have helped if they didn't decide to place them on bridge supports and stuff.
>>385051502
Who was in the wrong?
point of a maze is to get thru to an exit on the other side OR find a way to the middle
neither of which are in this shit
>>385051470
Fucking Burgers scared of everything other than legitimate threats. They'd leap away from their own shadow into the path of an oncoming truck.
>>385051132
>Not video games
Then why post it here?
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.
>>385051643
Trucks are far more dangerous in Europe, though.
>>385051585
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.
>>385051808
I would come back from the grave and haunt my hometown forever if my family okayed a shitty advertisement being on my gravestone.
>>385051614
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.
>>385050550
$30 DLC
>>385050837
That's not true. There is a long way around, but it doesn't connect to the right half of the maze in any way.
>>385052110
How the hell do you pull off a half-functioning corn maze? These things are literally made by drunken rednecks and are tons of fun.
>>385051954
Would you really need to? It's not like they are going to be able to get your smell out of the place
>>385052110
>"Its not even a maze, the left and right sides don't actually connect anywhere but the entrance"
>>385052276
Bioware makes half-function games all the time.
>>385052110
The right side is an addon you need to pay for.
>>385052353
I haven't lived at home for about 10 months now. I hope the smell is gone by now.
>>385052276
The shitty thing is this maze is usually cool as shit, but now they've gone and made some retarded nonsense and ruined my thanksgiving plans.
>>385052353
You're not as funny or clever as you think you are.
>>385051902
Who would win, a Japanese Truck or an European Truck?
>>385052276
It's quite common for ones that are meant to be viewed from the air but are also designed for tourists to walk through quickly. No one wants to have to wander in and rescue trapped retards all day erry day.
>>385052661
>whide bower :DDDDD
>>385052751
Not even a contest.
That microwave burger promoting Deus Ex letting you win a trip to Detroit.
>>385052776
>No one wants to have to wander in and rescue trapped retards all day erry day.
Speak for yourself. I'd rather do that than sell computers to people.
>>385052702
>>385052776
Dude, drones are now super commonplace, can literally guide them out by remote.
>>385049186
>>385052898
>*action-packed trip to Detroit
FTFY
>>385051643
>truck
Funny you should mention that
I live down the road from this Corn Maze. Every year they cut something different into it. In all the years I have lived here, I have yet to walk it.
i did it
>tfw you got lost inside Bioware maze
PLS HELP ME
>>385052751
The deadly truck monster of Japan is a dangerous beast reflected in much of their folklore however I believe that the more recently evolved Euro truck is much more dangerous and will quickly outstrip it's Asian counterpart.
>>385053403
Do you need someone to post the shiba lebeef motivation video?
>>385053403
OP here, I'm on the east end of town and go every year. It's usually alright, pretty good time if you can sneak some booze in with a fewfriends
>>385050837
yea, what the fuck? its not actually a maze, jesus christ bioware is even incompetent with fucking corn
>>385053125
3 Routes
It's like poetry
Why isn't it a straight line with three branching paths at the end that come out at the same point?
>>385049784
>Desu Space
Are you referring to the Your Mom Hates It add campaign from the second game? Because I don't remember anything embarrassing about the first one's marketing.
>>385053581
You must buy the DLC to get the maze maps pack.
>>385053602
I have no friends. Oh well.
>>385053854
ahahha
>>385053854
>control lets you leave right away
