After watching this I want a Kinect in my christmas stocking.

"Before The Magic... After the Paid Endorsement"

Self-Confessed Core Gamer: "Tons of Fun"

Sold!

 

[zroid]

When I saw the thread title, had a feeling it was about this video, lol

 

[WrenchNinja]

Everything's so cool! SO COOL!

 

[Acquiescence]

Endured 30 seconds of it before bailing.

 

[Nibel]

Do you know the definition

of cringe-worthy?

 

[GraveRobberX]

Do you know the definition

of cringe-worthy?

Yes Insanity, just like that Video

 

[Psy-Phi]

Clearly I'm missing something.

It's your typical demo with interview/confessions like any other marketing campaign ad for any product.

 

[Takao]

us gamers

 

[Rapstah]

Is it better or worse if these are real people?

 

[Lulubop]

Gamers just like me.

 

[GraveRobberX]

Clearly I'm missing something.

It's your typical demo with confessions like any other marketing campaign ad for any product.

With a disclaimer stating it's a paid actor or re-enactment or they've be rewarded in some way

"I love how you can level up, choose different abilities..tons of fun."

 

[Visualante2]

Molyneux got out at the right time. Jesus.

 

[maniac-kun]

Announcement of an announcement of an announcement on twitter. Leading to an countdown.

 

[Gintoki]

That was pathetic.

 

[MyEpitomeCliché]

The guy in the Batman shirt looks like a young John Stamos. So that's something.

Spoiler

Yeah, I have a problem.

 

[Synth_floyd]

If you use the phrase "I'm a core gamer" it means that you're really just a marketing tool.

 

[RobbieH]

Saw the Giant Bomb guys trashing this on Twitter.

Video is a fucking disaster.

 

[eot]

This is like one of those self esteem CDs where people tell you that you're awesome. I guess Microsoft had a custom one made for the Fable team.

 

[Tagg9]

These people were definitely not paid for their "unbiased" opinion.

 

[RealDeadOne]

I like how they try their hardest to make it look like a shaky-cam Skyrim clone when in reality it's a Kinect railshooter

 

[kenta]

I don't get why people are all apocalypsing about this video

 

[Coconut]

I'm amazed that they could find 6 people that are big fable fans.

 

[Jb]

The short haired girl told me I definitely had to get this game. She will be sad if I don't, you see

 

[Nibel]

"I play all the hardcore games" *lists 360 games only*

 

[GraveRobberX]

Who the fuck goes out of there way to literally mention, "I'm just not a plain Gamer, don't confuse me with the casual crowd, I'm a Core Gamer, due to me playing Halo, Skyrim, Mass Effect... my street cred is legit"

 

[zroid]

I'm already terrified of the memes that will derive from this

 

[grimshawish]

I keep trying to write a response.
I don't have the energy to respond to this level of bullshit.

Just because you made the a product too broken to sell your software to the mass market who actually bought the piece of shit, don't piss on everyone else MS.

Pathetic.

 

[Jibbajabbawockky]

I think I'll stick with Duck Hunt.

 

[WinFonda]

Sold.

 

[Loxley]

Someone needs to .gif the moment at 1:17 where the guy clenches his fist in the fashion of some mustache-twirling villian.

 

[Takao]

If you use the phrase "I'm a core gamer" it means that you're really just a marketing tool.

I like how they only mentioned games that are available on the Xbox® 360 home entertainment console. I think they lost a chance to throw in a "I even own Fable Heroes on XBLA" line for cross marketing.

Someone needs to .gif the moment at 1:17 where the guy clenches his fist in the fashion of some mustache-twirling villian.

And the bow down part. 1:53

 

[Flame Lord]

Peter Molyneux promising us Project Milo and delivering us this is like pulling up to McDonalds and ordering a big mac, then getting to the drive thru window and getting a picture of him banging your mom with a side order of fries.

lol

 

[Dennis]

Like looking into a mirror.

I finally feel like I belong.

 

[SJRB]

The intro where they "introduce" themselves as [hard]core gamers saying they "have a problem" because they play SO MANY GAMES, combined with the obvious trying-too-hard N7 and Batman shirts is just..


Shit.

 

[volturnus]

If you use the phrase "I'm a core gamer" it means that you're really just a marketing tool.

True, but I don't think it's off the mark at all. These people are at the core of every single problem in the industry.

Journalists are just as bad, by the way.

 

[Lime]

My reaction to the hype quotes from these random people:

 

[Vire]

Like looking into a mirror.

I finally feel like I belong.

I laughed unnaturally hard at this.

 

[GraveRobberX]

They've should had a guy hold up all 3 Fable boxes signed by Molyneux
Throw them in the trash, and say the true successor to the throne of Fable is here

"See that's how much I love Fable"

 

[Rapstah]

That guy in the pink hat, is that actually the Lips cover guy from my avatar? I've been subconsciously looking at the guy for years now and there's something about the eyes... and the beard and weight of the general person.

 

[BGBW]

I like how some aspect of this were pretty negative.

"The other games I've played on Kinect are pretty dumb but this one is better!"

That's could be read as the common cold is better than the black death. Wayhey!

 

[whalleywhat]

This is exactly the type of game I'd like Microsoft's internal studios to spend their time on! p.s. I'm a core gamer.

 

[bjork]

Fable without Molyneaux making overly bold statements about its impact is just not Fable to me.

 

[Codeblue]

I guess this is targeted at 12 year olds who still use those labels to describe themselves.

That was embarrassing as all Hell.

 

[Mindlog]

Gamers are doing it for free.

 

[Quentyn]

Finally a Fable game for the core gamer. Thanks Kinect!
