This advert was genius. It got me to stop what I was doing and watch the damn ad and so it definitely succeeded. Doesn't mean I'm gonna go buy the game, though, like a mindless drone!

I found the advert painful to watch. I'm sure it'll be effective but a standard trailer would've piqued my interest the same.
I just took everyone's word for it that it was horrible but it came on TV and ugh. Totally squashed what little interest I had. It's either trying to sell their M-rated game to children, or insinuating that every gamer over the age of 18 still lives with their mom and eats hot pockets all day.
Hey now, Hot Pockets are good.
I think everyone is taking the advert much too seriously. :p
Well... we're all talking about it? So it has to have worked on some level. :p
I just actually looked at the video posted and it's different from the commercial on TV.
lol the actual trailer on tv isn't like the video posted at all.
Does anyone have a link to the actual TV trailer then?
Anyone who's remotely followed Dead Space 2 knows it's anything but a dilution to make the series more "bro-friendly." The story is more psychological, and the game is filled with (sigh)... set-pieces to WOW the player.
The multiplayer is actually kind of disgusting but it takes a tremendous amount of teamwork to succeed. I'm fairly sure it will not be for everyone, but I was very impressed with that.
I haven't lived with my parents for nearly 10 years and I don't really feel a need to do things my mom would disapprove of. I do however find these commercials pretty amusing, probably becasue i'm reminded of how my mother actually was, and how much I disagreed with her. She's the type who hates all sorts of violence as entertainment and would get worked up over something as little as having a toy gun pointed at her.
I think the one with the black lady was the best, especially in the cut they actually used in TV ads. Your mom is gonna medium disapprove of dead space 2!
In fact, I sort of want to play the first game now. I actually had no idea of what kind of game it was until now. I thought It was just another generic space shooter.
Besides, I don't have a lot of games that would challenge the new video card I just got.
All I have to say is that I'm disappointed.
Firstly, I would have loved to see at least one think it was great. Just to add a twist to the ad.
Secondly, I searched for "Your Mom Loves Dead Space 2" on YouTube and got no relevant results. Not one. Do you have any idea how disappointed I am in YouTube video makers right now? I'm really, really disappointed.
This is my new favourite word.Quote:
