Title: Your thoughts on ______ game commercial? (fill-in-the-blank)
Post by: theaveng on February 18, 2003, 01:52:51 AM
What are your thoughts on various game commercials?

My thoughts:
PIKMIN = Nintendo showed this a lot when GameCube was released.  I remember thinking, "What an odd-looking game.  Looks boring too.  If that's what modern games look like, I think I'll stick with the 16-bit stuff."

MARIO SUNSHINE = "Gee... going around and cleaning stuff.  I can do that right here in my own home.  Pass."

YOSHIS ISLAND = "Yep... that was an awesome game!  Good commercial."

BUFFY = "Cool my favorite show.  But why does it look like crap?  Sounds like crap too.  Pass."

FINAL FANTASY 10 = "Wow... look at those graphics.  And look at that beautiful girl!"  This is the game that convinced me to buy a PS2.

METROID PRIME = "Cool!!!  Awesome graphics.  It's like an interactive Buck Rogers!"  This is the game that convinced me to buy a GameCube.

You judge games by commercials? You have issues.

I've gotta agree with TheResidentEvil on this one commercials never swayed my purchase plans, the only commercial I remember thinking was cool were the Metroid commercials for Prime and Fusion. I was (and still am) an avid Metroid fan so the commercial never had any effect on my money. P.S. I never did see the Mario Sunshine commercial but I heard it was disturbing.

Maybe he is isn't a 'hardcore' gamer, although the term is thrown around loosely here.
