[mansoor1980]

Never reacted to some many replies in a single thread, thanks for this! Love this thread!

 

[lachesis]

Well, these memes are used on this board all the time... so their strategy is working I guess?

 

[mansoor1980]

was indifferent toward them.

now i guess i hate them.

 

[gaming_again]

as a Bill Hickscel I believe all marketing is by its very nature coarse and worthless.

 

[anthony2690]

I quite like the gifs myself, they are amusing and I'm sure fans of the games enjoy the gifs too, as I see them fairly often

 

[Warablo]

Its like funny and cringe at the same time. Kinda weird

Very good work

 

[anothertech]

Have you not been watching the cringe memes being posted every single day and considered 'cool' on the internet? These Sony gifs are the least of our worries.

 

[RoadHazard]

I love them, they are awesome, you are lame for thinking they're lame.

(Yes, I'm in my late 30s. Not a dad though.)

 

[MarkMe2525]

I enjoy them. The only place I see them is on gaf anyways.

 

[jigglet]

Gotta agree with you OP, feels like

i had no idea the devs made this, i thought it was a fan thing

 

[Mr Hyde]

Some people need to chill in this thread.

 

[Spukc]

 

[feynoob]

I've never seen this one.

It was pure luck that I managed to find it.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Might as well say you hate fun

 

[Raonak]

I haven't seen half these gifs. They're awesome. I an only imagine the people who hate on them are just a bunch of miserable edgelords

 

[Blitzmangoman]

I love them and dislike anyone that hates them.

 

[consoul]

Tremendous backfire thread. Thanks OP. No, really, thank you. Good stuff.

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

They are not requested by Sony like the OP seems to believe, they are made by the studios animators when they have nothing more to do. Its like an internal thing that i think Naughty Dog started when they won Studio of the year and shown this gif in the award ceremony. And now some other studios joined the fun.

My conspiracy is along with skill trees and claimable walls, sony has a manifesto that all their studios must produce gifs for social media engagement.

[Stephen Curry]

I think it's funny that they made them, but when I see anyone use them on here I cringe.

 

[AncientOrigin]

Absolutely wrong !
They are amazing and funny they contribute to a way more entertaining thread.Stop being so negative and take everything as the end of the world!

 

[Omali]

It's really not a day on Neogaf unless someone is making a thread being assmad about the existence of something inconsequential that they really shouldn't care so much about.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

More gifs I say!

 

[JayK47]

NeoGIF is more like it. I do enjoy the GIFs though.

 

[Umbasaborne]

How else will fan boys advertise for them though?

 

[Putonahappyface]

alabtrosMyster

 

[SenkiDala]

Well what's fun and what isn't depends on people. I am not a fan of those Sony gifs but some are fun, to me. For exemple a lot of you seem to post gifs of this fat Arabian/American man that seem to be famous in USA, I hate those, but anyways.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

I mean, if people enjoy making/using them and it drives up emgagement with a studio/product, there's no harm.

Same as there's no harm in thinking the whole thing is a little cheesy and choosing not to take part.

So hard being a human.

 

[March Climber]

If only the Gran Turismo team made gifs. I'd like to see this with a GT car:

Or maybe this(replace bear with Ratchet):

 

[ElCasual]

Damn, Aloy looks SO hot.

 

[Drizzlehell]

Of all the things to complain about...

You need to go out more. Y'know, to touch some grass and shit.

 

[Evolved1]

A goo goo ga ga

Basically, the OP's TLDR

 

[MiguelItUp]

Lol, a thread about THIS?! Amazing. It just always felt like harmless silly fun, that's really it. Doesn't need to be looked into more than that. Feels like some devs had extra time and were like, "What if we recreated popular meme gifs with our characters?", and that was it. No harm in that.

What's hilarious is that I didn't realize there were THAT many. There are some in here that I haven't seen before at all, lmaoooooo.

 

[HerpDerpstreit]

Damn, Aloy looks SO hot.

Looks like a younger Minnie Driver in this one

 

[Paulistano]

Damn, Aloy looks SO hot.

 

[Pedro Motta]

These meme gifs that Sony obviously tells their studios to do arent cool. It's comes off as 40 something executives having their developers make gifs to appeal to "the youth" and completely misses the mark. At most you'll get mid late 30smth facebook dads sharing it but yea, they aren't cool.

Lol what a moron.

 

[JTCx]

Lol, a thread about THIS?! Amazing. It just always felt like harmless silly fun, that's really it. Doesn't need to be looked into more than that.

Its goes deeper than that. Notice how a certain group of subhumans who are bothered by it, especially the OP.

 

[ZehDon]

What started as one developer having a bit of a laugh had the fun entirely sucked out of it by the time we get to Naughty Dog mass producing dozens of TLOU2 gifs of ten-year-old memes. It was a cute gag at first, now it's just painfully out of touch "How do you do, fellow kids?" corporate marketing.

 

[Hoddi]

I kinda agree that it's overdone but they're also so well made that I won't complain. It's still 100% middle-aged humor but that's also okay.

It's America's Funniest Home Videos kind of funny. Dreadful but you can still chuckle at it.

 

[Gaelyon]

Well i didn't know half of it but i love it, made me chuckle a lot. And yes I'm old, sue me ?

 

[Graciaus]

It's almost like you aren't the target audience anymore.

 

[K2D]

I get it. It stings seeing Sony 1st parties being plastered all over the internet. /s

Some of these are plain dumb, but I just happily scroll past them..

 

[Valedix]

nah if anything we need more, I mean MS could make them too with their games... oh wait

 

[Kilau]

This thread has been gold, totally missed so many of these amazing Sony meme gifs. Thanks Ghost of Caelid

 

[Toons]

Every once in a while the users here reveal how boomer ish they are becoming.

The cycle is continuing with "complaining about harmless memes"

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Me'n be have the sex with Miste r alloy now can please it make happen? ? ?

GENTLEMAN YOU HAVE SET US UP THE BONER MAKE YOUR TIME

 

[Rubik8]

I actually had no idea Sony made these. I thought they were some deep-fake wizardry. I almost asked a couple of times, but didn’t want to look like an idiot. Somehow knowing they are “official” makes me like them even more. The OP needs to remove the stick from their ass.

 

[Toons]

It's true though.
Even Okay Boomer originated from the late 2000's
And you got Gen Z saying it to Millennials & Gen X....
And Bruh is from the early 2000's too and you got people saying it now like they just discovered it.
The new generations have no identity of their own.
Other then being sensitive little bitches and entitled.

The generation before you said the same thing about you. You've become them. Congrats I guess.

 

[Solidus_T]

I love those gifs - and it seems they do their job well!
OP should lighten up.

 

[Hoppa]

I wish my problems were as stupid as this
