So, the best thing Xbox has released in recent years is a commercial where they label their fanbase as rats.

Marketing and PR @Xbox slacking and pulling memes out of GAF would be wild

There 100% are Xbox brass that come to GAF from time to time they will just never interact with anyone

 

[Gudji]

Looking good adamsapple

 

[Clear]

Well the Hamster gimmick does a good job of distracting from the complete absence of actual xboxes in that ad!

TV / Phone + Controller = Xbox.

 

[Woopah]

I see you are a man of taste.

 

[SlimySnake]

Unban Kretos!

 

[AJUMP23]

None of those rats were green.

 

[Maddoxswe]

Phils balls will come in his pants

 

[Kacho]

Wait that was to sell us Xbox on Samsung TVs?

[OverHeat]

Sony Pony is next hahahahaha

Where it all began:

Drama - Cringe - It's funny when people are getting banned for console warring while some of the mods are console warriors

First of all to any mod reading this, if your mom was fucked by one man only don't delete this thread, even at era they don't delete anything unlike the green trash you have here that delete a lot of posts and threads, covering their tracks or what do you have to hide? Now to the malignant cunt...

Still the most homoerotic meltdown of all time

no sinking ship in the advert. 3/10

Internet about GAF being right:

 

[Hyperborean]

I like it.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Green Rat App on my PC playing the Green Gamepass.
Need to change Rat to Gopher to make it Green Gopher Gampass.

Great Green Globs of Greasy Grimy Gopher Guts.

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

So...this was a grotesque anthropomorphic take on the ToTK trailer?
And the rats are all gross and they live in hovels?

This is anti-marketing, right?

 

[Kataploom]

OMG the man became a legend, then vanished from this world

 

[Det]

Now it will work, let's imitate the "different" PlayStation commercials

 

[Kilau]

That can't be a fun visit.

 

[cireza]

This was super well made.

 

[adamsapple]

Me, finding out this was actually directed by David Fincher

I wonder which GAF user he is

I don't like to brag but ..

 

[Aenima]

They are implying that you stop being a rat race when you play xbox though. Not the green rats meme GAF uses.

I also found it funny that the ad is not even for an xbox console but for a Samsung OLED tv. The ad itself was nice.

 

[j0hnnix]

 

[Plague Doctor]

Is this an Xbox?

 

[Mr Hyde]

Hilarious. Xbox is a meme factor. Love it. The fridge is the best one though.

 

[Skifi28]

Marketing is huge and growing.

 

[rofif]

He was always right

 

[Darsxx82]

???

 

[Darsxx82]

Errrr....It's more like the reverse of the green rat meme... Supposedly, when you play on Xbox, you stop being a rat

Whatever the message, what a waste of money and another example of the incompetence and shame of

 

[Topher]

That's just to funny

 

[ReBurn]

Hope @kretos is proud of this.

rip

 

[808mate]

It's a bit on the nose, but overall I liked it.

Sounds like par for the course then.

I mean, why ask people who actually play games what they would buy when a bunch of marketing interns already know the answer because they majored in women's studies?

JK - My actual guess is they don't interact here because they just don't like selling too many games and setting expectations too high for the next acquisition.

The great thing about being at GAF is we are pretty free to speak our minds here as long as we do not get overly disrespectful, we are not overly moderated

The downside is people tend to run those more important people off

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

Haha, when i saw the thread i thought this was a joke or something. Watching this ad made me go "that's a brilliant idea" at the end. They took something from the meme sphere and transformed it into a message that i think serves the brand really well. Come on, you can look at my post history to know i'm not a fan of any gaming company. You gotta give credit where credits due.

 

[Heisenberg007]

Is the message really ... "Stop being a green rat, and play Microsoft games on other devices like a Samsung OLED TV?"

I can't believe what I just saw.

 

[RaZoR No1]

Who ratted us out

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Ehh...this just seems to be themed as a "rat race", like very on the nose so.

Rat race - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

 

[PlayStaytion]

They are telling you to stop being green rats & become human again.

What does the even mean?

 

[Sooner]

I don't think this ad has anything to do with GAF's "green rats". It's just a lame "rat race" reference.

 

[PlayStaytion]

At least u can be sure Microsoft checks on gaf very often even if they try their best to hide actual identities, here we provide them with actual info, unlike rainbow forum thats is fully hypocrite and never alligns with gaming trends(they allign with sellout journos/woke devs fully tho, just not with actual gaming audience, do not mistaken it for so called "modern audience" that doesnt exist/doesnt buy games

They prefer GAF for accessibility, the purple site is huge and messy.

 

[Banjo64]

There 100% are Xbox brass that come to GAF from time to time they will just never interact with anyone

just imaging them reading the ABK thread or the OG green rat post

 

[MMaRsu]

Dont be a rat, be a gamer

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

just imaging them reading the ABK thread or the OG green rat post

I know most people know this but they worry too much about their public perception

I have heard them talk about forums and reddit and name a few places specifically and this was one of them.

 

[Rambone]

Cool commercial. It didn't make me want to play a Xbox but I liked what I saw.

 

[PauloRoberto]

This has the full 'we need to waste marketing budget somehow so we won't lose it for the next quarter' energy...

 

[Topher]

None of those rats were green.
