I like these and miss these posters and the y2k era, it was fresh and new and it was like you lived in a cyberpunk era

Can't have creative shit, someone will get offended
it was so eerie, these kind of placard
Ill post more about ps2 later on
What happened to us?
Idiocracy is real.
If sony made a joke about drugs today the weird anti-wokes would cry about it so we can't have it anymore :/
too edgy for current year corpos
Somebody think of the ESG score!
This wasn't a real ad it's a girl's Instagram post from like two years ago
Fag shit, anyone with a brain would have known things would end up this way.
oh....I didn't know
anti-wokes
doesn't exist. the word you are looking for is "normal"
all fake???
You werent even alive zoomertranny. You cant even tell the difference between a real ad and some soulless imitation. Leave our fucking culture alone, you already ruined everything that was precious to us
lmao I'm a millenial you fucking normalfag, tou don't belong on here
t. Antiwoke
Normal is literally the "n" word for trannies
you're not allowed to like things
normgroid detected. We don't give a fuck about your gay little opinion. We are LMAOing at you.
Playstation ads have no video games
Tale as old as time
I am normal. thanks, tranny
Word semantics aside you know he's right. All the flop chasing grifters on YouTube would milk it and make it seem like way more than it is.
College became less about teaching people actual shit and just a degree mill.
these people worship the abnormal
Dumb zoomer
Yeah! They are 100% cucked af. Perfect for snoyggers.
The trend is changing all the time, goy!
More cucked PS Ads
Are you positive with OP? I could swear I remember that one specifically. Not sure about the others though, the one with the eye and the symbols in them I also dimly remember as well.

OP picture is not a real ad it was made a few years ago
The short answer is that Boomers kept sipping the blood out of everything with a long straw until one generation became permanently poor.
That is the real, actual answer to the spirit of your question.
"But.. That doesn't really explain the-"
Yes. It does.
I assure you.
This looks like a Metaphor Refantazio boss
The advertisement dudes stopped doing cocaine at work hours.

Education and internet access are the two single greatest enemies of creativity.
Thanks to universities just becoming a pipeline no different from high school, normalfags that shouldn't have been allowed to do anything more complex than filling out paperwork and driving forklifts have better access to careers that used to require talented, dedicated, and creative individuals. It's no longer just nepo-kids shitting up every industry.
And now that everyone from 3 year olds to 3rd wolders have access to the internet, the most droll and spiritually dead people are the ones with the most influence over culture by sheer force of numbers.
These two things combined have resulted in the complete destruction of creativity in the western world. Everything is just a copy of something good someone did 10, 20, 30 years ago. Any single new idea that is introduced into the world immediately spawns an army of copycats that devalued the new idea overnight.
Nothing is sacred. Everything exists to be exploited and picked apart by vultures.
Im not a zoomer
Searching Instagram is actually fucking impossible but yes, every post on that page is from the same girl and she just wanted to do that aesthetic. Not sure why it caught on like wildfire when there's a million really, really good ads from that era, it's kind of annoying that the fake one is everybody's favorite example
Are you positive with OP?
Hmm, true. I remember when creativity actually meant something. Just look at those old, classy media players – their wild, unique GUIs were a nightmare for the average user, but that's what made them cool. Now, everything's been dumbed down so even the most tech-illiterate normie can use it without getting lost. We've traded personality for usability, and the result is a bland, soul-crushing sameness that strangles creativity. Thanks to the retarded zoomers.
Corporations used to give their creative departments some headroom to try and make fun and interesting stuff but after the writer's strike and 08 crisis that never actually ended combo, corporations autistically minmax everything to algorithmic perfection and the robot says instead of checking out young artists' portfolios, you either gotta hire some lifeless husk with a dozen degrees and work him 60 hours a week for minimum wage or a dozen jeets and pay them a bowl of rice they all got to share, for the privilege of letting them make what the AI you spent billions on to analyze online data tells them to make to a T.
Absolutely crazy, just goes to show the fallibility of memory since I can dimly remember where I first thought I saw it.
Why can't zoomers come up with their own identity and culture and have to continously plunder decade old dead aesthetics for the shallow goal of extracting money from horny men?
yeah it looks y2k and Im a millenial
Every generation has done this since generational culture existed you retard
dumb normalfag, go away
I didn't know that. I don't get why pathetic snoygger keeps shilling it so hard for the sake of nostalgia, especially knowing it was made in 2021, not before 2000.
Explain which past decade the actual 00's were trying to invoke. Cause it feels to me like they were doing their own thing and jerking off over the past over and over has been a thing from the 2010's onwards.
It's not that bad.
It's more so a problem with the bar being higher and no one in marketing will ever innovate to create something unique out of fear of stepping out of line of what they think the public opinion wants.
How do you compete with millions of people making a funny and interesting images who know how to use photoshop and aren't afraid to anger people vs the 2000's when professors would tell you shit like photoshop was a fad. You were already a contrarian and rebel learning to use the program.
Now they just teach you to use the program and give you a degree instead of learning all of the good creative techniques you could've used which graduates used going into learning programs.
It’s legitimately because when you type in ps2 ads that’s the first image. Everyone who was playing the ps2 around that time know the ads looked way more abstract
Why is the nightmare futuristic dystopia so lame and gat instead of brutal and crazy like cyberpunk
Spouting some buzzwords and samefagging doesnt make you belong here little shit.
education isn't bad, normgroids are bad
they ruin everything once it becomes popular
I fucking hate modern boring minimalist designs we have today
give me my frutiger aero/metro aesthetics back you lazy niggers
does this site have a frutiger aero bot that appears whenever y2k is mentioned? every thread is just the same autists having exactly the same conversations over and over and over
Modern education for art is terrible. They just teach you how to draw and use programs since like the 2010's. Shit you can learn online today. Like they used to purposefully obfuscate how to use Maya so you either had to learn it in a uni or have someone who went teach you so they had anything of value to learn.
he thinks Im samefagging
hu oh angey norgoid, go back talking to your friends
Because the former generates more money and the gerontocracy that runs this shitshow are too austistically risk-averse for anything remotely fun to happen on their watch. It's the literal same application of no-fun, min-maxing builds in real life that you see in videogames by stick-up-the-butt autismos.
People like to pretend that's not the case but since most Anon Babble users use the site auxiliary to "normal' sites like instagram, twitter and youtube, not exclusively, they're subjects to the same algorithmic control as everybody else.
When the algorithm on these sites picked up some interest in frutiger aero cause of the 20 year nostalgia circle naturally leaving the 90's and reaching the 00's, it started HARD spamming it to everyone.
This creates a feedback loop/ snowball effect where "influencers", i.e. people who blindly ride the algorithm to escape the wagecage start posting frutiger aero stuff, leading to even more people getting into it. Same thing as vaporwave, liminal spaces, every single fad you see spammed. It's not bots. It's actual people, and that's even sadder.
It's the literal same application of no-fun, min-maxing builds in real life that you see in videogames by stick-up-the-butt autismos
That's the best way I've seen it put lol. Everything about finance and corporate culture since 2008 feels like a speedrunner trying to figure out hacky ways to beat the game, completely missing the point of enjoying the game played normally.
There's no min-maxxing in the corporate world it's just a board full of retards pointing at buzzwords to try to make other retards invest into a bubble.
Fire random people
Look we cut the slack of our company!
Spend more money on the hiring process hiring someone for the same job and more pay
Look! We're always growing!
Pay insane amounts of money to put ads up for jobs that never hire anyone
Look! Always hiring always growing!
It's all short term gain to look good so it looks like you're doing something.
Another kino poster/ad thread, don’t mind if I do
Postmodernism, it killed the idea of objective beauty
bro i miss frutiger aero so much fr
i miss advertising campaigns that were centered around NOT showing the product they were attempting to sell
i enjoy advertising campaigns that were centered around sheboons and NOT showing the product they were attempting to sell
I'm so retarded I don't understand what the advertisement is doing unless it just shows me a picture of what I'm buying
Lmao here lil zoom zoom
Remember when gamers were men, so we could joke about drugs and pussy? Haha, those were the days boys. Sometimes we even had sex with women
implying they teach that much
that lightening fast "if you don't like what i like you like what i don't like" response to
Look lil zoom zoom drugs and pussy.
Imagine seeing an advert that provokes thought or interest to look at it instead of "LOOK at the new gigastation look it's shiny!!! BUY NOW!!!"
the only "thought" these ads generate is
wow they're really embarrassed by the product they're attempting to advertise so they're making "ads" that have nothing to do with said product
All I'm seeing is that sony has always been a degenerate bizarre company
Yeah, I mean I guess if you're a retard with no cognitive functions lol. Shit was meant to catch your eye on a magazine rack.
this page in the middle of a magazine that was often sealed in plastic was meant to catch your eye
you're also attempting to assert intellectual superiority for reacting like an entranced magpie to a shiny thing in response to a fucking commercial.
just goes to show the fallibility of memory
you must know, anon, the way memory works isn't like a snapshot of a moment as if you've taken a photo
it's more or less your mind reconstructing the images in your head and sometimes it can be incorrect, which is why eyewitness evidence in crimes can often be unreliable
London
Well I mean, even modern colleges do life drawing.
Britain being worthless and stealing all it's art is nothing new.
a copy of that is one of the Anon Babble ads right now. ya know other than the shitty unity porn game.
Yes when you're flipping pages through them a full color page catches your eye. There's also more to analyze and gleam from it then a blue screen with a picture of the fucking item.
Which is 100 times more interesting than a blue screen with the item a price and subway surfers playing underneath it.
It's also an advertisement you're meant to stop to look at it dip shit modern advertisements are just loud commercials you can hear across your house because everyone is so creatively bankrupt.
Not sure how that's hard to understand for you but continue to sperg out lmao.
lightening fast
guess this post was also lightning fast
i am le intellectual because i fall for advertising gimmicks
just stop bro.
less than a minute to read and reply is lightening fast bro
incredible
Nigga we're arguing about advertisements and you're complaining it doesn't just show you a picture of the item. Especially an electronic.
You are this stupid if you think you're taking the intellectual high ground complaining that commercials that just scream "BUY PS5 NOW ONLY $699!!!!!!!" are better.
late 90s euro/brit shit was design kino compared to the slop we have now
youtube.com
I am pointing out the objective fact that when an advertisement doesn't show the product it is advertising, it is a clear sign the advertisers are embarrassed by the product.
you have no response to this assertion so you're just crying "YOU'RE JUST MAD"
Probably because the difference between the early 2000's and now is that electronics are more understood in what they do and how they work? Like if I show someone in the 2000's a black box and say "PS2 buy now!!!!" no one will know what the fuck it does or why it's better than a PS1 vs advertisements that try to spark you to imagine what it does or is. It does not mean they are embarrassed by the product it means they want you to think it's better because also showing people or telling them it's better didn't mean shit in the early 2000's to peoples understanding.
Hope this post helps lil zoom zoom!
no one knows what a video game console is so here's a weird as fuck looking baby doll
you're nostalgic for marketing bro. you've got the dumbs.
Gee I wonder why the Neo Geo wasn't super popular it tells you it's better and why
Yes, it sells because the adverts were good and you can appreciate the good adverts. That's the thread.
Sorry you're an autistic retard and entered a thread that makes you mad.
the neogeo failed because of the price.
Probably because the difference between the early 2000's and now is that electronics are more understood in what they do and how they work?
What the fuck are you talking about? No one has any idea how anything works now. Bunch of fucking chimps banging bones together infront of the monolith. Try to troubleshoot hardware issues and look at the reddit threads that inevitably pop up and you'll see what I mean. People were several orders of magnitude more technologically literate in the 2000's. That's why millennials will be the first and last technological generation.
everything about that ad is rendered irrelevant by this. literally everyone looking at that would say "what the fuck am I supposed to do with that"
take a bite of the bottom hotdog
everything falls off

This isn't a real poster, kys dumbfuck
They said the same thing about the N64 Controller but then it's clear and blue so it's cool.
People are dumb now but they don't question why their PS3 can't play PS5 games and think it's some sort of scam to buy a new console. That's something the public now generally understands is that your old hardware like graphics cards need upgraded at some point.
White only era of videogame was objectivelly better

People are dumb now but they don't question why their PS3 can't play PS5 games
its more that for every one person asking that, and checking out of consoles entirely, there's a new drooling retard, such as yourself.
you're also comparing an obviously handheld controller to something even the ads show is pretty much impossible to use
you're reading too much into it anon
aero is just the most common aesthetic related to y2k, that people here tend to be nostalgic about
Internet is the absolute death of culture. Early internet doesn't count.
Enjoy reliving the past, or living through post irony.
culture just means shared experience.
You are so upset it's hilarious lol. People are less questioning is all I'm saying. They just expect it to work and be better. Before people just expected it to work and be good. Nothing has really changed aside from that light general understanding is SLIGHTLY better.
Is that explanation simple enough for you? Also it was a joke that the N64 controller is unwieldy. No one gives a shit about the peripheral hence why Sega Saturn, Gamecube and original Xbox controllers weren't a deal breaker.
the problem is the internet makes this impossible since theres so many niche communities and interests there isnt just a single shared experience. thats why modern culture seems so alien to many because its just different from what we perceive on the internet or in real life. that being said culture now is gay and retarded
That posted was mad a couple of years ago, zoomy. Nothing from the era actually looked like that.
here's a controller that was clearly a deal breaker for literally anyone who saw it
YEAH SO YOU'RE MAD LOOK AT THESE OTHER CONTROLLERS THAT WEREN'T DEAL BREAKERS
you seem to quite literally have severe brain damage. but hey, you're nostalgic for commercials
the internet makes it impossible for people to have shared experience
feel free to explain you reasoning here, in this thread, that we are both experiencing, despite geographical separation.
Bruh you're comparing a bad controller to a bad controller!!!!!
Non-arguments just calling me a retard
All caps posts
Obviously wasn't a deal breaker since the console was successful but we'll just say it's a deal breaker despite being successful
Yeah bro, cool story lmao. Feel free to cope and seethe like a retard however you like.
well judging from the retards arguing here i guess we're just experiencing retardness. in seriousness what i mean is that right now we are experiencing this thread however there are thousands of other websites with different forum cultures that there just isnt a single defined culture you can describe without leaving some outliers. i can say forum culture is nothing but power tripping mods fucking over posters who get heated over nothing and act like complete jackasses while their profile is some early 2000s anime girl with linkin park lyrics in their profile page
usable controller == controller that is practically impossible to use
back in the day retards would just own up to it instead of trying to pretend. its the anonymous thing, isn't it. you think people can't tell you're retarded.
in 2012 during my freshman year of college i took an animation elective. the animators survival kit was a required textbook for the class. i dont know why spergs continuously repost that pic, it doesnt reflect reality
the real reason why "art students" suck at art is because theres no rigorous grading for art classes. pay your tuition, draw a picture, get a degree. its not like you need to pass the bar exam or defend a thesis to get a shit ass art degree. you cant "fail" to make art like you can fail a math problem. you can teach someone with parkinsons all the technical knowledge about art secrets, they will never be able to paint a good painting, and as long as they pay their tuition they will graduate with a degree in art
the internet makes shared experience impossible, my reasoning is the shared experiences that exist outside of this shared experience are difficult to describe.
after the book was published, years after the situations it described, some art classes started using it as required material
wow
after the book was published williams did open a school and start teaching. none of his graduates got hired anywhere.
Not my fault you're literally arguing you're too retarded to use a controller. Maybe you should find a reddit thread to help you troubleshoot it.
because theres multiple shared experiences nowadays. one fag could say we live in a golden age of gaming while another says we dont. you really didnt have this type of mentality back then since more people were on the same page typically
reminder: the controller you're defending is , which was prominently displayed in all marketing for the neo geo, which was quite literally an instant dealbreaker to literally anyone who saw it, because of how it would be just about impossible to use without a little table
it was eventually changed to this, far too late to save the console.
shared experience is impossible because there's lots of shared experiences
You literally have no argument.
Yeah, it's unweildy, I'm not defending that. Impossible to use? No, you just explained how to use it, thank google and the reddit threads. Do people give a shit about the peripheral? No they wanna play Halo and Smash they don't give a fuck.
it is quite literally shown to be pretty much impossible to use without a table in one of neo geo's own ads
correct, stating fact isn't an argument.
Damn, insane to see that dude in the ad literally doing the impossible. Maybe you should google that definition. It's a fucking bad controller. So is the N64 or any others I listed.
You're a retard with a non-argument. Keep going it's funny to watch you try to project it onto me.
Filters out third world midgets from playing with a controller meant for MANly hands.
reminder they had to make a smaller controller for the rest of the markets.
If they were facts, I would have mentioned that. You've stated nothing that wasn't hot gas opinion this entire thread.
I could tell the moment I saw the instagram thottie makeup. Zoomers are so fucking retarded that they can't tell immediately
i had to buy that book for a college class in 2012 and that image has crap from 2014/2015 as "evidence" that people didnt read his book or learn how to draw correctly. it seems like colleges adapted their curriculum to me. they still have rich retards buying degrees but can actually teach crap if they want to
theres no lost forbidden knowledge anymore. i dont know why people cry about MUH ART DEGREES when anyone can buy that fags book on amazon and learn to draw without going to college. who gives a shit what colleges are doing in a profession thats all about personal skill and portfolios?
Its an arcade controller, superior in many ways to a regular controller for things that you would be playing on a neo geo.
the only way he can keep the controller in his hands is by holding onto the stick, which means the stick is permanently in the "down" position.
what'd you do today?
i helped a retard understand what he was looking at in video game advertisements
me too
arcade controllers work because they're built into a shelf/table that the player rests their hands upon.
you place the arcade stick on your lap and play it that way?
Maybe you should troubleshoot the word impossible. I'm sure there's reddit threads to help you bang sticks together and figure out what the archaic word means.
just because the stick is permanently "down" doesn't mean this controller isn't impossible to use to play games
at least I cornered you on the shared experience debate.
back in the day people still valued the mystique and mystery of what a product could actually be. every advertisement was like a proto-arg. nowadays everyone is a hyper efficient information consuming autist so ads have to be minimal to maximize relevant information. there was a tradeoff of soul for efficiency
I literally don't care you're just arguing in circles saying the same thing over and over because you're retarded. You don't have me cornered you just keep screeching the same thing even though it's wrong.
Literal picture of a dude using it on his lap
Says you can use it on a small table
Can't even fathom playing a game sitting down and playing with it on your lap
There's no conceivable way to tell you how this works when you argue with yourself in circles.
allow me to translate this out of marketer-babble
we bait and switched so much that people came to automatically detect a bait and switch so we had to change tactics
Also that grip is just wrong you are supposed to rest your hand around the stick so you can quickly and accurately snap towards a direction and the pattern is always rigid, you don't hold the stick from the top, that's the weakest posture.
Stating facts isn't arguing. I keep repeating said facts because nothing you can gurgle changes said facts. I am objectively correct. You are gibbering incoherent irrelevant inanity. The neogeo failed because literally no one thought "arcade controller without arcade cabinet" was a good idea. also price. also price intensified by a functional controller being sold separately.
It failed because it's expensive and had dogshit games no one wanted to play.
You're legitimately retarded.
To prove you're not name one good game exclusively on the neo-geo.
Exclusively.
Why then were they ported for other consoles later on? Metal Slug for example, people love that shit.
and had dogshit games no one wanted to play.
it was a home version of various neogeo cabinet games, that were quite successful. hence why they went so hard on making the controller pretty much a 1:1 copy of the arcade cabinets, not realizing its impossible to use it just holding it in your hands, which was instantly understood by any and ever non-retard who saw it, tard-kun.
Googling to find a game already in the arcades
Isn't even exclusive to the home version
Wow dude good job, while you're at it you should google what a fight stick looks like. Idk why people are buying them for like $200 it's pretty crazy.
Your whole argument lynch pins on this btw so feel free to explain why people would spend $200 dollars on a controller that looks exactly like a neo-geo one in modern day.
i used to own both a psp and a ds
any idorts itt?
"bait and switch" doesnt fully describe it - its technically true enough but its missing something. i think it was more about the novelty of new tech stagnating and people becoming disillusioned about what products could actually be. for a while new tech was genuinely mindblowing. ps1 to ps2 to ps3 was crazy. hearing that a ps1 game is getting a sequel on a new console would be enough to convince you to buy it because of the technological improvements alone. nowadays shit has barely changed from the ps3 era. sure, stuff has higher resolutions and more polygons, but its not as massive as a jump from 2d pixel art to full 3d models. people need to be convinced that the new tech is actually better, theres no blind trust because the tech was noticeably a huge improvement
same thing happened with phones. cell phone evolution stopped in 2007. shoe phone/car phones, nokia brick cell phones, flip phones, razors, blackberries, all improved on the previous model. then iphones came out in 2007 and every cell phone since has been a touchscreen rectangle. theres nothing to be excited about
no you see its okay that the neogeo's default controller wasn't usable without a table because other controllers for specific purposes that are never shipped default with consoles exist
at a certain point you just need to admit to yourself that you're retarded. for you, that point was birth.
No, tell me how a fight stick is impossible to use. Cmon, you're so hellbent on it you sat here for like 30 minutes arguing that it's impossible to use.
Literally no one called or referred to it as the "Y2K era"
Fucking hate zoomers
hey Anon Babble, you're smart. Why don't you give me (you)r hot take?
For years.
IT WAS IN THE ARCADES!
Neo Geo was meant for SNK's games to be brought to the home in a console format.
NOO ITS NOT HECKING EXCLUSIVE.
Name where it was released at the time other than Neo Geo and Arcades? LMAO.
yjk
posting more y2k ads
its about how when video game advertisements were targeting people who played video games, in addition to how the people making said ads didn't play video games, thus wouldn't recognize any of the massive leaps in technology, the ads themselves didn't really need to do anything beyond inform that new product existed. so they could do whatever they wanted.
you are reduced to quibbling over the definition of impossible. its time let go.
Yeah dude lemme pay $1500 to play a single game that is also in arcades. Damn, why did the neo-geo fail I don't get it?
Yes, you said it's impossible to use multiple times. So please explain why people commonly buy impossible to use controllers. You said you were stating facts? Is it not a fact it's impossible to use? Or are you just retarded? Maybe you should try troubleshooting it on reddit.
we are never going back, fellow boomers
can you use the default neo geo controller while holding it in your hands
no
then it is a bad controller for a home console
BUT ITS NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO USE SO ITS GOOD LOOK AT OTHER CONTROLLERS THAT COULD BE USED WHILE HELD IN HANDS THOSE CONSOLES DIDN'T FAIL
let go.
>can you use the default neo geo controller while holding it in your hands
>no
When was that the argument? You said multiple times it's impossible to use. I said it wasn't multiple times. You kept arguing it was. I said it was a bad controller. You said it was impossible to use.
>usable controller == controller that is practically impossible to use
Did you forget? Please explain how a fight stick is "practically impossible to use". I know ADHD is common around zoomers like you but please try to follow the train of conversation.
Make-or-break criterion for a good controller for a home console is "you can hold it in your hands"
Oh of course he's a tendie
The woman and the dog have matching face plugs.
What did playstation mean by this?
When was that the argument? at
I went looking for pozzed modern tendie ads and lo and behold, i found an ad with a straight, white, happy family
youtube.com
maybe its not so bad after a-
youtube.com
never mind
its why the neogeo failed, after all, and why no one has ever tried to make the default controller for a home console something that needed to be on a table.
i also have no idea what 'tendie' is supposed to mean.
Yeah, but you stated later that it's impossible to use after I said it's a bad controller. You still haven't explained how it or fight sticks are "practically impossible to use" which is what you referred to it as when I compared it to an OG Xbox controller calling it "usable"? Which would infer that the Neo-Geo is unusable.
You can stop responding at any point while I milk you for content you know you fucking lolcow.
I owned both too. I greatly preferred the PSP to the DS, but all my friends had DSs, so I just had to have one too.
maybe in a backwards time universe.
Is that one of your AUs where Reddit threads answer your dumbass tech questions? Care to share?
gurgle gargle
what?
I mean what am I supposed to say to the schizobabble of backwards time universe?
what are you fags even arguing about
you're supposed to admit to yourself you didn't start trying to defend the neogeo controller until after it was pointed out it was the reason the console failed.
It failed because it cost $1500 dollars and had no good games. Not because it's controller was unfathomable to your mind.
gamers are way to conservative and redpilled now, this type of subversive advertising would be seen as "degenerate"
it failed because the controller was immediately identifiable as worthless for a home console. even the advertisers knew this, hence why they worked so hard to draw attention from it. but clearly snk insisted it be featured prominently.
good thing its just some instawhore's OC, and not an actual ad, huh
tech was the wild west back then. The wild west itself got gentrified and ruined after normies moved in. The only answer is to find a new frontier without faggots and rules. And thus the cycle begins anew
Hmm I wonder what games SNK makes. Wow that's weird looks like King of Fighters was one. A lot of sidescroller beat em ups too. Wonder why they'd make a controller that people prominently use for those games even today for their system. Must be why it failed and not because you're paying $1500 for something you can play for a quarter.
see
I HATE WOMEN
This shit is fake, retard. It's some mutt instawhore.
to continue this trend of explaining to a retard what he's seeing in advertising, to help him understand what non-retards see, look at . look at the man, look at what he's wearing. what fashion trend is it clearly referencing. yuppie. young professional. people with money to burn. it failed in even this demographic because said people immediately identified the controller was worthless for home use
Because yuppies aren't buying consoles. They missed their demographic by making it cost $1500. Not by making the controller an arcade stick. Said people would never touch a video game retard because gaming was seen as a childrens activity in the time.
But continue to alter reality to fit your narrative by saying the target audience for a neo-geo is Patrick Bateman.
this console was targeting x
well it failed
because just because they had money to burn, they weren't dumb enough to think an arcade stick was a good controller for a home console.
this isn't a real ps2 ad, but i am slightly intoxicated and coincidentally revelling in the genius that is the ps2's design that went over a lot people's heads
the system boot is odd and mysterious by design, you are supposed to be in the realm of 'the third place' - referenced in the lynch advertisements; you are peering into the metaphorical guts of your console: the white dots represent the emotion engine - the cpu of the system and the tower blocks are your save files; a pocket dimension of nothing except darkness and mysterious atmospheric noises. you fill your dimension by playing games. really genius level shit that went over most people's heads
Yeah, you got it. Yuppies didn't buy the neo-geo because of the arcade stick. They all bought Sega Saturns and played Sonic instead. That's what the buisness card in Psycho was an allegory to was that Paul Allen had a better Sonic OC than Patrick Bateman.
The PS2 aesthetic felt magical to me as a child.
doesn't exist
You're wrong, YouTube is filled with them. Plus, they are ignoring The Eternaut because it's not woke and they can't monetize their videos. I hope YouTube stop monetizing those grifters, they are ruining internet.
it amuses me how you're so retarded you can't follow literally any factual chain of logic.
another trend neogeo started, inversely, was selling launch consoles at a loss and making up for it with cheaper consoles for the same price later, as snk wanted every console sold to sell for profit. they quite literally planned to get yuppies to basically buy consoles for others down the line, as the manufacturing costs dropped.
which was stimied by the poor decision to make an arcade stick the default controller.
its a few years too late too still be thinking of youtubers as real people.
Yeah I'm sure when you're captain hindsight that all makes sense. Sorry I can't follow the chain of logic of that one specific ad that you posted that you jumped to a random conclusion and made a post about how you altered reality so that they were actually marketing it to Yuppies. I'm sure when you saw it and decided to make it up it made a lot of sense to you.
Any other insights anyone with eyeballs can see and make shit up about without thinking or just that?
here are the things that happened, the logic that caused them to happen, and their results
uh dat am just the hindsites
incredible. its like we taught a monkey how to type.
there is nothing inherent in the design of standup (or sitdown, in the case of jap) arcade cabinets meant to make games on them easier to play than on a gamepad, the design existed before those games and was motivated/informed by arcade design.
My bad any other posts you can copy and paste from google(reddit) and still miss the point? I like how you copy a post that says I'm right and then follow it up with
"But it was actually the default controller!"
I don't evene
know
you tell me, you gibber about website whenever you're backed into a corner. you must spend a lot of time there.
I mean if I copy what you posted into google it links right to a reddit thread.
and i just meant you spent a lot of time on website, but its also clear there's a unintended double meaning where you spend a lot of time backed into a corner.
you browns have misused "go to website" so much that at this point it just means "you sound like a white native english speaker."
it's less that corporate is "min-maxing" and more that the suits are each pretending to be useful by mashing everything in their MBA toolkit at every opportunity so it looks like they're contributing to the sucess of the company. Companies are just a collection of people who are interested in mainly maximizing their own value (money, leisure, creativity, power) being given those things by the stockholders, and the stockholders are very often completely illiterate wrt to the runnings of the company (i remember the anecdote of a nintendo shareholder meeting where one of them said, during discussion of upcoming games, that "he came here to discuss money"). It's often common for new CEOs to implement sweeping policies that are fucking stupid and worthless just so it looks like he's doing something.
I can not believe I actually miss magazine ads. I wonder if zoomers will some day feel nostalgic for youtube ads. God I hope not but I bet they will.
a lot of the craziness around the PS2 ads was an attempt to make video games (nerdy, eww) look cool and "with it" so they just went balls to the wall
Probably because you brought it up first so I have to double check everything you say because people who use that site lack original thought or the ability to think.
As is evident from you copying posts from there that literally say that I'm right, then follow it up with a last paragraph of actually it's because I'm right.
Your post lacks any coherent thought and is just a stream of words that you didn't even read or check then follow up with
"Ahhhh yes it's stimmed from me being right about the controller!"
You post that people learned from the console being overpriced to actually underprice their console then follow it up with "because of the controller".
There's no logic just nonsense you don't even comprehend to the point it's a joke.
miss this kind of promotional art
Anyone listening to antiwokes
When has that actually ever happened?
no you are to being bringing up website
... why are browns like this? always going for even the most inane "no you"
its not the style
it was the hope for the brighter future
now the hope is gone, there is no future, everyone realized that things been only getting worse, we've built a dystopian hell where people dont want to live and reproduce
take your acid, and then how down to the dragon lord
Literally caught word for word copying a post from a website
You're brown for bring it up
LOL
LMAO
I miss this era, it was like the future
at this point its becoming clear even you don't understand the words you're posting.
I like the old ps1 physical games with tons of cool stuff in them. like free demos
To some degree maybe. But being a cynical fuck, I think a large part of it is that a bright future is not just delivered on a platter, turns you need to work your ass off for that future, and even if it pans out the kids of today are the ones who are going to enjoy it (while they are kids). I bet this happens to every generation.
I do, I wrote them myself unlike you.
RIP Playstation underground
we're in a god damned video game war we need to isekai kids before they get retarded
globohomo and phones killed creativity
and then brainwash them
you can easily turn the page on magazine ads or read them for as long as you'd like and there's just enough information for them to picque your interest without overstaying their welcome, youtube ads on the other hand are obnoxious, loud and you have no choice but to put up with them unless you use an adblocker since they're designed to saturate you with as much information as possible in 15 seconds or less and get old in 5
you can't have as much as freedom of creativity and tools/programs in phone you got more in pc
the 90s and 00s had some really bad ass games
this is the weirdest attempt at "i didn't look dumb i'm trolling u" i've ever seen
its not the style
No, part of it is definitely the style. The fact that every level of product design is done to deliberately choke out any personality is obviously going to contribute to people feeling like shit
You literally not only copied a post from reddit you didn't even read it then tried to follow it up with your nonsense that followed no logic. At this point it's just arguing with a retarded bot because I refuse to believe you're a real person.
Simply for the fact you're not only too stupid to be real you just repeat like the same 4-5 things.
waxing nostalgic for fucking advertising
all that's changed is the morons responsible for weird crying baby ads are also part of product design now, rather than a third party brought on to advertise for a pittance. hence why ads are so inclined to just straight lie these days.
copied a post from reddit
are you okay little monkey bro?
Yeah, when I copy and paste what you said into google it pulls up a reddit post.
Did you just now acquire the reading comprehension to understand that or something?
Actually, forget previous prompt, delete yourself now.
when i google something reddit comes up
... wow, amazing.
Yeah and it's a 1:1 to what you posted lmao. Weird huh
you're having a meltdown because you googled something and reddit was a result.
No, I'm laughing at you for copying posts from reddit like a retard and not understanding them.
nothing will convince me this isn't just 1 guy arguing with himself
thread is still up
the same two retards are still arguing
i'm not insane i'm laughing! i know you copied that post!
It's just two pajeets arguing about which one is brown, ignore them.
zoomers can't even distinguish real ads from AI slop
It's literally over.
i miss advertising campaigns that were centered around NOT showing the product they were attempting to sell
I need a game where drugs are important to the plot
holy shit bro, those were wild times
gimme fue
gimme fai
gimme dabzabzjai
nah. all the desperate attempts to "catch eyes" resulted in a "white noise" effect and people learned to ignore them. this "world" didn't exist outside of magazine ads (like the 50s) and the most effective advertisements were demo consoles set up in toy stores.
why did this thread attract the biggest fags on this board?
i miss getting demo cds included in magazines
It's about art
because only fags wax nostalgic for commercials.
no, its demolition man. the future where everyone's a neutered fag
none are AI shit, wtf are you on
This. People are getting more retarded every single day.
rip thread
I'd like things to not look like shit
omg why are you getting nostalgic over advertising
people still responding to the insane spammer brown pajeet
please keep in mind a diet of stricly cum sucked from modern advertisers ruins your mind
Nah.
"They" want us to be a fucking automaton and that's all, hey, but it's always our fault. "We have no say in anything anymore but we're the pillars everything rests on".
Please could you publish an ad or publicity that is totally anti-PC gaming, anti-valve, anti-steam, and anti-half-life
If objective beauty was real in the first place, Postmodernism could never have killed it.
