Bethesda: Misleading Advertising - What we see should be wha

Post » Tue Jun 05, 2012 8:24 pm

Skyrim is like getting sewed into bed during the courting of a 16th century daughter. Morrowind is a salacious blood orgy with huffers, WD-40 and the Shoulder pads from the Legion of Doom, with the sax player from The Lost Boys in the background.
As a huge wrestling fan this is even more awesome.

Have you seen any advertisment? It's ALL misleading. This thread is ridic.

While that may be true, it is also true that not all advertising is equally misleading. Some are more misleading than others.

There`s a common logic (at least in Britain) that if an advert is obviously over-the-top and silly in a joke way then it is considered ok since the advert is playing its product on humour and not on what it really does...

But if an advert (for the ordinary person) seems serious or it`s difficult to tell whether it`s part of the final product , while it tells us it is better than it is, then it is misleading because it`s not clear to the potential buyer what they are getting.

I also agree with Mirari that it is not corect to lie just because `everyone else does it`. This is a very dodgy road to go down. It is right to stand and say something is wrong if it IS wrong even if everyone else is doing it.

Many companies will try and push `little white lies` in an advert and if they can get away with false advertsing THEY WILL DO IT. This is why we need advert Watchdogs constantly and people should always say if something is misleading. That`s how we keep companies honest.

Some of you make me sad sometimes.

Morrowind was more like reaching near the speed of light, exiting this galaxy. Skyrim is like getting poisoned for believing the Earth is Round.

You've been here a month and a half, and you've made 1,000+ posts telling us all how much you hate it. If you dislike it that much, go. The forum will be all the richer for your absence.

You're turning the forum into a morass of negativity, most of it unwarranted because you're a self entitled brat who seems to think BGS should make the game YOU want. You and all your ilk. Complaining. Whining. Crying. Waaah. Nothing but whinging. Incessantly.

40-odd posts a DAY by you alone, mostly snarky sniping and petty criticism. Yeah, just great having you here. Seriously, you, and everyone like you, if you think the game's so terrible, don't let the door hit your backside on the way out. The way half you clowns have behaved I would have smashed you with the banhammer weeks ago. Arses, the lot of you.
