Is Evony as exciting as the ad?

1. Does drinking Budweiser make you irresistible to the opposite sex?

Does reality EVER live up to advertising hype?

[Oregone]

2. I think so. It looks great in the ad. You can't fake that

[Recursion]

3. I don't know, but the "queen in peril" ad was kind of disturbing

Somehow I doubt there are that many low necklines and heaving bodices in the online game.

[YOY]

4. Is Evony advertised on DU?

I've seen it adverted elsewhere.

5. Yes those digital mammaries have been prominently featured on DU.

[YOY]

6. Looks laughable actually.

Not the first time someone used those kind of ads for a video game that doesn't actually have any of "that kind of behavior."



Oh that "everboobs girl" was the butt of so many jokes. I have heard several fans of the game say "Yeah...you can take away the semi-naked girl now...she's not actually in game."

[omega minimo]

7. That's why the word "objectify" is used.

"Semi-naked girl" the prop, the lure, not active. Not "in the game."

[YOY]

8. A crappy and sexist marketing tool...

but effective at grabbing the attention of the preferred audience.

[redqueen]

9. One would think that the tactic would lose its effectiveness...

but I guess as the man said, there's one born every minute.

[YOY]

10. You mean using Axe Deodorant/Soap doesn't cause instantaneous BJs?

I guess I just married the right gal...

:evilgrin:

11. Reinforcing the impression that it's always "All About 'you' " and 'your' dick

[YOY]

12. It isn't?

:sarcasm:

[DainBramaged]

13. No, it is a take off on Age of Empires, and not well done

After your war protection period is over, unless you gain enough prestige to be accepted into a guild, you are going to be destroyed by the greedy little kids who dominate the servers.

14. Three or four guys in my office play...

Three or four guys in my office play and tend to sing its praises when asked about it. It seems a little bland and milquetoast to me, but I'm a hardcore Europa Universalis III fan, and have had much higher expectations foist upon me by it.

But the office guys playing it seem to love it, and have gone so far as to have strategy meetings during their breaks...

15. I tried it for all of 5 minutes, then the headaches started. nt
