Re: Marketing genius is the problem

In Response To: Re: Marketing genius is the problem (Louis Wu)

: I'd actually be laughing pretty hard. :)

: (Wow, so THIS is the sort of thread it takes to bring you out of the
: woodwork? :) )

Heh heh! What can I say? I likes my music, and I think I've been pushed very close to the edge by Halo 2 hype to begin with (present website's hype excluded of course ;-)

I mean, I don't have a TV, never listen to commercial radio, and don't subscribe to any magazines and STILL feel like I'm getting marketed to death on this game. And the type of hype is largely the glossy, spin-doctored, store-bought type, not the grassroots hype that the first game got in it's first couple of years.

I'm glad to hear Marty's response to this; if they had included top 40 rock and ersatz hip-hop into the game I would have sadly concluded Bungie had finally jumped the shark.
