Don't expect anything less from Youtube.

I find myself mostly agreeing with you - the video is made to appeal to the lowest common denominator and as a result does the game a disservice (as did PDP's original playthrough of ATDD). I say this because of the people involved in its creation - by all accounts it's a smart game with a good story but by letting PDP 'advertise' it you turn it into a dumb fright-fest with zero atmosphere and silly 'jump'/scream/yelling moments (and let's not forget the additional text added by PDP to 'enhance' the shouts and screams). So, as a result of this, anyone of moderate intelligence who is vaguely interested in the game will possibly see this video, see how stupid it is and say "nahhh" ..... and that's it. Lost sales. However, I would assume that a few lost sales is nothing compared to all of the sales they will garner from PDP fans and those of a similar ilk. This isn't being snobbish or elitist, it's disappoinment at the way that Frictional are choosing to 'market' the game. I realise they need to earn money, but this is surely the 'low brow' way to go about it. Why limit yourself to the lowest common denominator? Such people are fickle and easily pleased, but they also have short attention spans and rapidly move onto other things. Try aiming higher with the marketing and so appeal to people like many of those who post on Neogaf - even AAMFP has a thread there: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=653391 but while it has four pages of posts it's not exactly overflowing with excitement. This is the sort of 'crowd' that you need to appeal to, who will not only invest in the game but who will likely keep on investing time in it and spread the word. The actual publication of this video seriously p*sses me off too - why let this out over two weeks before the game's actual release? One week before release would have been plenty.

I don't see how screaming like a fool is going to be funny and I sincerely apologize for my weakling statement since there might be be people that have actually played it afterwards as intended (for as far as you can call that intended) Might be just my demographic, view on life and my seriousness I'm more of a practical person and something that bothers me a lot is fake emotions (I can't stand it when Americans cry about nothing(not a stereotype just something Americans do really often)) Guess I'm too highly educated and too sober to think he is funny.

I don't get a kick of people getting more scared than me since it is pretty much something that always happens since my friends are a bunch of LOL players. Well if you promote this kind of behaviour then you're simply a bad influence. Pewdie pretty much represents low economic status and a lack of people knowledge to those that think his emotions are genuine.

But I didn't scream as an idiot just a simple joke before returning to serious play (this was on my 3rd play-trough tough) (08-25-2013, 03:28 PM)Sergeant Crits Wrote:Average Pewdie fan don't forget the trolls we had posting gore on the forum and ranting us. (now gore doesn't move me the slightest considering the things I normally watch/read but still bad for those that are moved) Again low social and economic status that is why pewdie largely appeals to American children.(again this is not a stereotype) RE: AAMFP GAMEPLAY - Warning: PewDiePie - Yuhaney - 08-25-2013 I remember seeing gameplay of Penumbra: Black Plague where you clearly saw the infected way before the game was even released. Off-topic: I love the rating of this thread.

He was a sound engineer, and is no longer part of TCR (which is still a different entity from FG). Nobody hasn't got the slightest clue as to whether or not FG (who has remained silent) endorses this.

I have watched many let'splayers playing Amnesia with a normal behavior, making jokes without ruining the game and reacting naturally. Those are the only Amnesia videos I like to watch. I don't see a problem with PDP receiving a copy of the game and acting as he does. But I don't see the point of showing how to solve a puzzle, jumpscares and a monster. He could promote the game without that.

RE: Amnesia and Pewdiepie - Raipe - 08-25-2013 I never could have imagined that Frictional would have ruined the whole game by letting Chinese Room to be part of it, but also letting PleaseDiePew faggotrism to market it... Have jens and thomas fell that deep to beg money from a swedish autist who screams like a elementary school student to get money via his help? Ok, sorry for those tasteless idiots who i may have insulted, but this whole amnesia thing has already died inside me after this scandal. Even fatal frames look scarier than that new scheisse you market with that attentionw***e.

Because i am german, i can clearly read the word " Scheisse " in your answer... Well Its right, i dont like this screaming idiot too. He overreacts and already screams when a fly is on his screen... |
