These People All Seem Pretty Excited About Fable: The Journey

They're all "core gamers," you see. That means you have to listen to them. They're just like you. Just. Like. You.

So sincere! So Genuine!

This seems about as honest as the soda commercials Schwarzenegger did in Japan.

Maybe they weren't for soda, but they were definitely for a liquid.

Nice to hear 24 hours 'til doomsday playing in the background. Kind of an ironic choice I think.

I hope the Giant Bomb site gets a ton of advertising posted for this game, then Jeff trashes it in his review.

I'm reminded of Aisha Taylor's post-E3 screed about something something I'm a real gamer too...no really, guys.

OH YEAH I'M WHAT THE FOCUS-TESTERS HAVE DECIDED TO CALL CORE GAMER EVEN THOUGH I CLAIM NOT TO HAVE PLAYED ANYTHING THAT CAME OUT BEFORE NOVEMBER 2001.

I hate marketing. It means less money is spent on making good stuff for more people to buy it.

I cannot state how much I hate marketing, because I hated it before and it has skyrocketed after watching this, it's over any scale.

I may go postal, now.

I HATE MARKETING! BLAARRG!!

Any time a trailer or ad uses the term "core gamer" it immediately makes me stop caring about the product. Since when do musicians cater to "core listeners" or books to "core readers?" It's one thing to use labels on internal marketing discussions, I'm in school for marketing, I get it. But to put that label out there as an acceptable way for people who play games to label themselves? Bullshit.

Don't know about paid, but I recognize at least one of them. Stephen Lunsford is an actual actor, most recently in Teen Wolf.

I think it's poetic that the ad that played before this trailer was an ad with two ladies about Dove soap.

Best quote of this video "It is the most hardcore game of all the games that I have seen here so far".

Second best quote "I can create my own path in this game"

Santa Claus is also real. Really....he is.

So... Do the Dulders now have to do a quicklook of this or avoid doing so at all cost? I think I want to see them do it.

That was hard to watch. It's a desperate cry to get people to actually care about a Kinect game and it's backfired.

Wow this is terrible. Some random dude with a pink trucker hat with a mustache on it and a girl in a Mass Effect shirt; those are the kinds of people I want to be associated with!

I would completely turn around on this if Alex was one of the actors in this. I don't know why but I think he could pull it off.

This is how the marketing industry sees consumers. We don't just hang on every word of their ad copy. WE ARE AD COPY.
