Ubisoft thinks its audience is a bunch of slobbering, pop culture absorbed morons. Seriously, how did they expect us to react to this Coco nonsense? I am beside myself.
I don't care about who she is. I just wanna know who the hell thought her voice would be good for acting... God she is going to be annoying to listen to...
Whoever first created the ability to mute other players deserves an award. That is one of the most annoying voices ever. No wonder Ice T always sounds pissed off. He has been listening to a high pitched buzz saw...that nags...for 24 hours a day.
And I have to agree with the article. This is simply one of the most insulting ad campaigns in recent memory.
In one moment you have Ubi slapping people with their remarks that GRFS is an intelligent shooter designed for thinking players, a comment that basically states if you do not play this title then you are mentally feeble.
And then in the next breath we are hit in the face with this idiotic ad mackerel.
Wadda hell did I just watch?!? That was the most annoying voice I've ever heard. Can't they just use a real soldier for the ad campaign? Who's the moron who made this ad?
You guys make good games, but why do you guys keep doing this?
I was invited to the Assassin's Creed Revelations launch party in Toronto and it was awesome because
1) There was an awesome art gallery 2) Everyone got free Assassins Creed comics etc 3) Everyone was a fan and we all got to interact with each other 4) We got to talk with the dev's about AC future 5) We got to play the game
What do NOS girls have to do with Assassins Creed? What does this Coco have to do with ghost recon?
Why do you guys do this? Don't lower yourselves by thinking your fans are "slobbering, pop culture absorbed morons"
come on, your fans love your games, you don't need to do crap like this to get their attention
Hell the biggest fans at the launch party were female, remember you invited them for this: http://www.youtube.com/watc...
(edit: lol after watching this again I realized I was in the back playing MP while they were dancing) Your fans love you.. do not lower yourself to this
hate to disagree, but dont really understanding why your complaining about the girls. The majority of ubisoft games players are men between 16 and 30. Of course they are going to cator to that demographic and bring in hot chicks.
Reading the article.... it seems like more cry baby news. There is nothing "sexist" about having Coco there. Is the commercial really bad? Yes lol, but not sexist. You don't know her, hell, she could be more of a gamer than the two athletes, yet all this article does is bash her because she took a job. Real mature.
The sexist part is that she is bragging about fighting against men (in other words, for women, essentially), yet half the video is nothing but her ass hanging out while playing Kinect.
It isnt sexist. Well in terms yes, but it is fair play. Guys love strong guy characters, i do too.. to be all strong when im that much in reality, girls like to be sexy with theirs, and we both like eachothers vice versa. So that's fair, its so stupid how females get to comment on the issue because us guys don't care. Nit that I approve of a lot of this kind of marketing, sure itd work for another game guys, but Ghost Recon... of enjoy it for another game but WOW? That is the ultime soldier game, and we're dealing with this? But yes, she's sexy. But for this game? :/ Market it where it counts.
"Guys love strong guy characters, i do too.. to be all strong when im that much in reality, girls like to be sexy with theirs, and we both like eachothers vice versa." -Defining sexist
I will pretend that you are being sarcastic so you can maintain some dignity... However, I will address your points.
First, she is using a kinect to play a fps... she clearly has no idea what she is doing (and is not a gamer). Next, my girlfriend is a a gamer (and indie developer)... She spends way too much time fighting this stereotype. It this really how we want to portray female gamers? Also, ads like this alienate them. There are some really awesome girls in the gaming world... and this is an insult to them.
Lastly, I am not bashing her for taking a job. I am bashing Ubisoft for their moronic marketing campaign. You missed the point if you think it was really about her... She made some money, good for her. Shame on Ubisoft for insulting their audience with this nonsense.
Her playing kinect half naked with her titties barely able to fit in her shirt and the camera aimed right at her buldging ass isnt sexism? looked more like a baywatch commercial.
Wow, you guys are eating me alive lol. Maybe you should learn what sexism is before you go spouting off. A woman in revealing clothing is about as sexist as that commercial from kfc with that black guy dancing with chicken is racist. Basically making a big deal out of nothing. It really doesnt matter what I say, as you are all convinced this is so against women. I agree this is a terrible commercial, but not sexist. Agree to Disagree.....or just disagree.
Please, miss the point more. It isn't sexist because there is a pretty woman in a swimsuit, it's sexist because that is apparently the way Ubisoft wants to preset the image of women playing video games.
It's sexist because it delivers the image of women gamers existing for the sole purpose of being sex icons for men.
Ubisoft have really put the nail in the Tom Clancy series. Sure they are fun, but only a shell of their former selves. SC5 was awful, but GRAW and RB6V were dumbed down a bit but still pretty true to their roots. Now Splinter Cell was ruined and now GR. I was anticipating GR but no squad commands like in the old games, regen health, and a MARKETING CAMPAIGN LIKE THIS!?!?
Sorry Ubisoft, I see your target demographic and I guess I'm not in it anymore. See you later.
That definitely has to be one of the worst things I've ever watched.. And this is going to be for another retarded "reality" show? Ugh, I really hate this world.
You have to ask yourself, do you want to be playing online with the target audience of this commercial? Because that's who is gonna be buying the game, and ultimately the ones that you will be playing online with.
Yea thats dumb but Ice is cool shit and he's a big gamer so i cant hate on him or his wife. She's not a good actress at all or right for a game commercial but shes a cool ass woman. This was just dumb on Ubisoft's part, why would a girl with massive tits make me want to play a tactical military shooter? Show the gameplay and maybe real military footage not women or even women shooting guns.
I guess this is where all ads and entertainment is heading. The majority of people today are dumb, ignorant, idiots who only care about kim kardashian or the new movie with explosions not politics, economics, or people starving.
lol what the hell did i just watch thats not seriosuly for tv is it?
...
.,.I mean I get it...but...why?
I don't get it... nevermind
oh ubisoft...
Man you guys better watch it, Coco is Ice T's wife. He might be reading these forums... lol.
