In Response To: Re: This really sucks for Bungie. (kidtsunami) : our appreciation of tact and aesthetics need not abruptly end at the gaming : experience. : I admire marketers much in the same way I admire Marty for making absolutely : awesome epic soundtracks that make me enjoy the existing gameplay even : more because they're good. : When a good marketing campaign from Bungie leads into firing up the game for : the first time, I'm excited, I'm pumped and I'm looking forward to : enjoying their content even more. : If I were to then experience massive disappointment, I'd resent the marketers : for leading me wrong. And since Bungie hasn't led me wrong yet, I really : admire them for delivering some great marketing. The best, and only marketing one should trust is word of mouth. I did not stumble upon Bungie and become a lifelong fan because of an ad campaign. I did it because a friend told me Marathon was awesome. It was. Think about it. If a game is phenomenal, people are going to be talking about it in person and on the internet. You don't even need to listen to marketing, because people you trust and whose tastes you share are all telling you it's good. You only need to listen to marketing if there's no buzz. But why would there be no or poor word of mouth? Maybe because it's terrible. In that case, the marketers are trying to trick you. It is never ever in your best interest to listen to advertising.
