What kind of reaction are you expecting a livestream filled with celebrities and people who don't play games to draw? Cheer harder for logic, maybe you'll start using some :) Then again like I already said, you're the guy who wants Crackdown delayed because journalists don't like the visuals, even though those same journalists gush about the gameplay. That's a failure of logic there, too. The type of gamer who would tune in to a Comic-Con livestream to watch a game, in my opinion, is either a hardcore gamer or someone already interested in the game. And I highly doubt watching some random person who can't play games struggle around is going to sway them one way or another. Journalists playing the games on their preferred websites, gaming conferences filled with gamers and developers like E3, sure. This, no. The only feeling this would draw is the feeling Tudyk described while playing the game himself at Comic-Con with Major Nelson. Anger and a desire to snatch the controller away and play it correctly. Conan on the other hand is a mass market mainstream talk show host and yet publishers don't mind letting him and a random celebrity basically crap on their game for a short time because it's still marketing and it's still publicity. Conan routinely trashes games, feigns boredom and sleep when the premise and lore of games are explained to him, and also mocks anyone who makes or plays the games seriously. All for comedy, of course. Idk, maybe you just don't get marketing? You are at least right about one thing. No, I don't have a clue who made the video and don't care either. I don't follow who is the most followed YouTuber or what console they each prefer. Being a big fan of one thing or another doesn't make one immune to a bad video :) |
What kind of reaction was I expecting? Being a millenial who watches youtube, Twitch and other apps.....I expected an internet response. LOL I said, I want Crackdown to be pushed back for the sake of the game. I want to play the game and I want to play it at its highest quality....and I also said...(logically speaking) its release date is going to destroy the game because consumers are going to be forced to decide whether they want Crackdown 3, Star Wars Battlefront or COD. I got the same shades of the mistake EA made because this is not good decision-making by Microsoft. Ive watched videos of the first Crackdown and it seems like decent fun, but the way things are looking for Crackdown 3...that game is going straight into the deep discount area just like Halo Wars, but the only difference is that more people were actually talking about Crackdown. You're mistakening someone who wants the best for the game for someone who actually dislikes it.
I believe Rand got the con footage got the footage from Mixer....which is a stream gamers watch. Do you know what happens if gamers see games with screw ups and bad pr? Go to youtube and look up" worst E3 moments".
If you werent paying attention in the video, Major Nelson had to try and talk his way out of the crappy gameplay of the person who was playing next to him as well as the bad physics. Someone in the comments section literally wrote a whole paragraph of what he said just to show how ridiculous it sound. If you have your marketing strategy together, you showcase the game publically with someone who somewhat knows what they are doing (at least by a moderate level).
Rand is actually sick of people talking crap about Crackdown and wishes the game the best, but hes finally awakening to Microsofts marketing.
Rand Al Thor is the million gamerscore gamer, who was featured at Microsofts E3 last year. Hes a pro Xbox Gamer and he is pretty level headed, but even this was unprofessional to him.
Also, look up the internet backlash when Polygon had a bad fps gamer preview doom on their channel. The preview video made a great game look god awful and most of the fans who know what doom looked like when its played by someone who is selling the game to them spoke up. Polygon even tried defended themselves in the instance, but it no one was listening because it was purely unprofessional.
