(I was hoping to find the ad on Youtube to include at the start of this post, but I’ll be damned if I can find it. Odd how pretty much all the ads that I did find were all better than the one that we’re currently being subjected to on UK telly).
I wouldn’t want to be a gamer trying to explain the ad to a non-gamer.
“What the hell was that? And what’s with the XIII-2?”
“Well it’s a sequel”
“And the XIII bit?”
“It’s the thirteenth game in the series”
“So it’s a sequel to something that’s had lots of sequels already? Why not call it XIV?”
“Because it’s a sequel to XIII which had nothing to do with XII or any of the prior ones.”
“Um.. ok. None of this is particularly ‘final’ though, is it?”
“…”*
“And the music? Is it supposed to sound like it’s from a dire children’s programme?”
“Err…shush. the programme’s starting again now”
* Seemed apt.
