Dragon Age continues to have the worst fucking advertisements ever made for an RPG. Possibly even for all video games.

I mean Jesus Christ, is that really what Bioware's marketing team thinks sells to "Hardcore" RPG players? They market Mass Effect with a slightly heavier "IT'S A SHOOTER TOO, GUYS!" edge, but Dragon Age is about as pure nerd RPG you can get without being a licensed D&D game.

Dear god... that music. Worst trailer ever, it's even worse then fan made stuff.

Agree , i bet someone from EA/bioware employed his emo/goth faggot son into advertisement department.


Good thing is DA II seems to be better music wise.

 

[Ancient]

Good thing is DA II seems to be better...

You see?
Their advertisement strategy actualy works!

Even if you think it does't.

Yes it does until you see gameplay

This is really embarrassing. Seriously, I guess my ears are damaged forever from the awful music of this trailer

 

[Lexx]

Is this the new shit?

 

[Deleted member 7219]

Yeah, but that trailer was a parody, wasn't it? After all, Bioware are one of the largest game developers out there, they aren't anything like some third-rate Eurotrash company that would put emo music in their trailers....

Oh fucking wait...

 

[Black]

CRAAAWWWLING INNN MEEE SKIIIN, THIS GAAAMEE REQUIRES RAACOOFFEEERR

 

[Relay]

Even worse trailer than "this is the new shit" which is saying a lot about their marketing dept.

 

[Black]

I have to come in and defend bioware.
It's always good when the quality of your marketing matches the quality of your products.

 

[Volourn]

Haters gonna hate.

 

[markec]

After seeing that trailer I feel like I become a little bit gay.

"goes to watch some lesbian porn"

 

[fizzelopeguss]

They just showed the ending pretty much in it's entirety.

 

[Excidium]

Wow, what the fuck.

They should've used this music instead:

Take note that the game has been out almost a year and the PC and console prices have dropped $20. If EA decides, "Hey - we're going to re-release Dragon Age as an enhanced/gold/platinum/diamond/the hits/the tits edition" etc., this allows them to bump up the retail price back to $50 (PC) / $60 (Console) given that the release date changes, therefore retailers can (legally, might I add) consider the product a 'new release', justifying the regular price increase. This has happened a lot recently, especially with games like the Witcher, Morrwind and (everyone's favorite) Oblivion, their original editions/counterparts will be discontinued/recalled and the spare shelf space will be used for the 'new release', which will be some mundane compilation including Awakening, which supports my next point -

They said they had two years worth of DLC content for Dragon Age, yet now after almost one year BioArts announces that this is the "final" DLC for Dragon Age: Origins. What's interesting is that they have yet to release any DLC 'exclusively' to users who bought Dragon Age: Awakening.

Basically if you haven't bought the game yet, you're going to be forced to not only buy the game but the bundle pack with the old Origin DLC and the Awakening module/campaign. Before you know it they'll have Awakening-Enabled Only DLC that gives background into shit that'll tie into DA2.

Haters gonna hate.

Dicksucks gonna suck dick. Volourn, since I've grown weary of you let me say this now - Drog has more of a chance getting into BioWare than you ever will. So if you're serious, and not trolling, stop posting. If you're trolling, hey, whatever floats your boat.

EDIT: Just watched the trailer.

Oh... My....Fuck....

I mean... WHAT - THE - FUCK? What's next, GOG version of BG1/2 bundle with a trailer featuring music from that era - i.e. Simple Plan? WHY, GOD? WHY!!!!????

 

[Melcar]

What the fuck was that shit? Seriously? What the fuck?!

 

[ComradeCommissar]

Wow...

I can't wait to see DA2 with fucking Nickelback in the *Final Actually Complete Edition* trailer.

 

[Volourn]

" Volourn, since I've grown weary of you let me say this now - Drog has more of a chance getting into BioWare than you ever will."

Butthurt? butthurt.

The brand new Ultimate Edition contains the original game, the Awakening expansion pack, as well as six DLC packs, bringing $114 worth of content to gamers everywhere for the low price of $59.99. BioWare’s dark fantasy RPG is the perfect gift at the perfect value for a gamer who wants to get into this franchise ahead of the launch of Dragon Age II in March 2011.

The bullshit never ends. $114 worth of content? Try $0.
DA:O - still with CTD bugs.
Awakening - even buggier than the original. Still? No idea.
Remaining DLC's - shit. Enjoy your lamoarmor etc. The community has been responsible for the only worthy DLC's, and that still doesn't make the game playable.
So 60 bucks for what? ALLOW ME TO SKULLFUCK YOU RAY.

 

[waywardOne]

it took all of 15 seconds into that trailer to remind me how boring DAO was.

 

[Jaesun]

DA:O - still with CTD bugs..

I never experienced this once, at all. When you play a Pirated version of a game, perhaps your opinions of it are quite invalid in stability.

 

[circ]

It wasn't and isn't pirated. Anyway, you must not have been running around with many spell buffs up. If any.
