Haha I just saw this when I was watching the Saints vs the Vikings! Good commercial but I thought it was a little bit too long. Probably because I just wanted to get back to football! lol

WHO DAT? WHO DAT? WHO DAT DEY SAY GON BEAT DEM SAINTS? The Brees jersey looks too fresh, I might actually get one:

OpenGL5231d ago (Edited 5231d ago )

Yeah, I thought it was a bit too long as well. I usually dislike long commercials for games as I always feel that they're a bit silly. They try and boil down too much story and plot into a minute or two of time which really isn't possible for an RPG like Mass Effect.

Another reason I do not like ads for games comes from the fact that it is that the advertisement is a non-interactive medium. When you remove the interactivity from games, and try to advertise story, games simply are unable to compete with older mediums like film.

Perhaps when games start being taken more seriously we'll see more talented writers getting involved in the industry. I don't wish to imply that Mass Effect 2 is poorly written, but that the medium as a whole has not fully matured yet.

Also, Who dat? Who dat? Who dat say dey gonna beat dem Saints?

I sincerly hope that EA surpasses expected sales of ME2. It's gonna be an amazing game and I'm glad that they're marketing the hell out of it. I wonder if its hit Halo 3 advertising expense yet?

Who Dat going to the Super Bowl?

jalen2475231d ago

The commercial was Epic.

Great game. The Saints were lucky to win the game. They will need more than luck to beat the Colts.

Based off their performance, I predict the Colts will win the Super Bowl in a blow out. Sorry Saints fans. :)

You forgot the /sarcasm tag.

Was the NFC championship trailer same as the launch trailer?

Christopher5231d ago

Yeah, same one that's been on GameTrailers for a while now. Still a good trailer, though.

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave46d ago (Edited 46d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.
