First, listen to some music from The Witcher 3 to prepare yourself: https://soundcloud.com/marcinprzybylowicz/sword-of-destiny

Done?

Okay, so IGN decided to continue their "IGN Firsts" coverage of The WItcher 3 with a video that is edited to some sick dubstep:

Slaughtering With Signs: The Magic Of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt –– IGN First


All I can say is: lol

They obviously spent some time on this since they cut the video to randomly zoom in/out in time with the bassline, but who in the world thought that was an appropriate music choice for a fantasy game?

Ultimately, it's harmless and goofy.

Oh well, thought you guys might get a kick out of it.

 

[Dennis]

Makes sense I guess.

 

[Big Nikus]

Wow. Perfect fit.

 

[stan423321]

Was that IGN who created the "Nintendo Dubstep Revolution" trailer a few years ago for the April Fools?

Because if so, the answer is simply they like dubstep.

 

[xKilltheMx]

Saw this earlier. Thought I missed some new development in the game or something...

 

[hydruxo]

IGN is perpetually stuck in 2009

 

[elementalsin]

All dat wub wub... Maybe its a new ingame setting?!

 

[SlasherJPC]

That was extremely bad. Sorry IGN. That sucked.

Right underneath the big head and senpai geralt options

 

[Rhaknar]

Dubstep?

 

[victreeb3l]

lol They even edited the video to match the music. Quick zoom ins and stuff. Oh IGN.

 

[Icyflamez96]

I liked the first 10 seconds of the song

 

[jet1911]

Kinda reminded me of that Farming Simulator video.

 

[EmptySpace]

should've just used barry manilow songs instead.

 

[Gattsu25]

Kinda reminded me of that Farming Simulator video.

Or the official trailer for this android game: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.binlab.bubble&hl=en
Or that video for Train Simulator '12: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rulElJITIVY

 

[VanWinkle]

That was genuinely hilarious.

 

[InsaneTiger]

The world is dubstep so this makes sense.

 

[OnionPowder]

am I on /r/montageparodies?

[Stranger In The Alps]

Well that's just silly. Dubstep is the last thing I think of when I think of The Witcher.

On another note, I've seen ¯\_(&#12484_/¯ around here so much lately, and I cannot see at as anything but the handshake from predator.

LOL that's so adorable.

That'd be more like this I feel like

I had trouble seeing the face until you posted this.

[loaf of bread]

Kinda reminded me of that Farming Simulator video.

I'm dying here

xXwitcherXthr33x[[MLG]]~

Oh cool, I also have a witcher based online name. You can hit my up on XBL my gamertag is xXxGeraladThaBoss1997xXx

 

[Damerman]

I'm cringing so hard.

 

[Virdix]

I honestly didn't believe it could be THAT bad...

 

[Concept17]

I mean, I get it. Someone wants to feel like a badass, cut someone deep while jamming out..but at least pick out a decent song. That was atrocious.

On the other hand, the combat doesn't look very satisfying. I'm concerned about going straight to this after Bloodborne.

 

[Floridian]

The dubstep didn't bother me. ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

 

[FZZ]

Bruh I thought it would be like a legit artist

this is some straight up 2010 I just downloaded FL Studio help me make sick dubstep breh

 

[foxuzamaki]

Holy shit, at first I thought it wasent half bad, but then it went into the most generic dubstep Ive heard in a loooonnnggg while

 

[Storm Raider]

Dubstep in 2015 <

Cringe

 

[xzeldax3]

They have to make the intern do something!

 

[Kvik]

I can't think of a punishment harsh enough to be handed down to the person who commit such a sacrilege of combining the most anticipated open-world RPG of the generation with a bottom-of-the-barrel rubbish musical genre (if you can even call it that) that is dubstep.

 

[Shifty1897]

I was in physical pain halfway through and had to stop.

 

[BLunted]

Jesus Christ. It was like someone held my head down and took a shit in my ear.

 

[Ichabod]

Someone needs to make an MLG montage remix. Shit would be dank as fuck.

 

[Boogybro]

#yolo

 

[popyea]

Is this actually dubstep or just the ign video player stopping and starting a lot?

 

[muffs92]

All this did was make me hate IGN.

 

[Naminator]

The editor must have had a headache and someone gave him a pill that sorta looked like Advil.

 

[Dragonslayer_023]

What a tone deaf video, I find it hard to believe this isn't parody.

 

[SmartBase]

Am I missing something here? They're just catering to their audience.

 

[LurkerPrime]

Someone is going into the music video business and the only thing I know for sure is that it's not Geralt of Rivia.

And OP, thanks for linking that Sword of Destiny song - it's great! Makes me so glad I'm getting the OST.

 

[andrerobot]

Kinda reminded me of that Farming Simulator video.

Holy shit!

 

[Super Stardust]

Judging by the comments I doubt it

 

[Elixist]

wtf u can straight up cut dudes in half? goat. so sick of plastic swords in gaming.

edit: i was aware there was some dismemberment

 

[kogasu]

Is it supposed to be cool or something? The song got a bit distracting after a few seconds. I mean, it would have been great if it were an actual MLG parody video. Those are hilarious!

 

[Evilmaus]

Dubstep sells.

Didn't you get the memo?
