CDProjekt, attention !!! TW2 video used as Advertisement for Dragon Age 3

Hello,

I discovered video on YouTube that uses video sequences from TW2 as advertisement for upcoming BioWare's Dragon Age 3

Here I enclose the video link(if you open the video in YouTube you will see that their user AppleBall used this scene under the name of Dragon Age 3 :

That's dumb, I wouldn't even bother with this if I were you.

That is the most surprising thing I've ever seen. 400,000 views, nearly 500 comments, and the number of people who actually seem to realise they've been conned is minimal.

@Myself - I was expecting something uploaded today, and a desperate attempt to get views. I wasn't expecting something that seems to have survived over half a year.

I didn't actually watch the video, but the comments are something else again.

 

[Keloo]

) LOL. Well this shows how popular is a bioware game over a polish game. Not much popularity in the US I assume.

Anyway are tons of videos like this on youtube. And the comments... well "youtube comments". Everyone starts moaning about something, they fight and insult each other for any kind of stuff.

Just pop title that will attract many viewers, and you'll have tons of views, so I'm not surprised. And I bet most of them are from USA, that's why they don't know, or even heard of the witcher 2.

I notice there were quite a few "deleted comments", so I'm wondering if the uploader is removing those that point out the obvious, just to extend the con. Comments need to be approved by the uploader.

Or is a sign of how dumb US you-tube viewers are in general... ABSOLUTELY NO references to Dragon Age in the trailer, yet they fall for it...

I noticed this too. Unbelievable.

Could be, but for someone who has played TW2, or has at least seen a few gameplay trailers, is obviously it's BS.

Most of the viewers I guess are kids and from USA, just like the Just Bieber views. The number of views is irrelevant., everyone who access that particular video is counted as one view, no matter if he liked it or not, or knows what's that about.

As I said, just come up with a shocking title and they'll be attracted like flies.

One obvious thing to do is flag it as spam due to misleading description.

Good point.

 

[Kinley]

Disgraceful... I reported it, hope it will be taken down soon. But as said, for it to be up for as long as it did is mind blowing!

 

[Dona.794]

Oh, that one. I've seen it before, the comments never not make me laugh, they're pretty entertaining. Especially when fans stretch what's in the trailer to fit Dragon Age lore and bicker over who is who. Props to the troll uploader.

 

[dragonbird]

I'm having far too much fun reading the speculation on whether this is Ferelden or Orlais, and if these guys with the yellow eyes are Qunari, and whose children they are (Isabela? Really?)

It would be disgraceful if it really was Bioware who published it, but as it stands, it's just making fools of a certain section of Bioware fans. I just hope they don't retaliate when they eventually do find out.

Bioware couldn't afford to do such a scam, it's insane to think so.It's their image, credibility at stake. It's uploaded by someone who wants to make fun of others, and to see how many viewers he can get. Tons of videos like this. Don't know why we're still talking about this shit. What, are we going to talk about every BS that's uploaded now ?

And I bet that if this video was uploaded on an European youtube like site, it would've been deleted in a few hours, days at most.

Oh, definitely. Absolutely no doubt that this has nothing to do with Bioware.

Don't know why is everyone making such a big fuss out of it. Ignore it. What, we are going to talk about every BS that's online now ?

I put it in the same category as that website that posts Facebook comments by people who think The Onion is true. A mildly amusing diversion on the Web.

Btw TW2 needs a serious advertising in the US, or we will see more videos like this one. People need to know how great TW series is.

Yeah. Hahaha )

 

[MrMida]

This can't be real. All of those idiots think that is DA3? That's funny as hell.

Well done, troll. Well done.

 

[Jobbert.907]

I don't know if I have to laugh or have to cry.

 

[Kooz123]

"@Appleball Well he is big, fast, to the point and has yellow eyes. Is it a possibility that he is a Qunari?"

Haha, one of the comments about the video. I can't believe the number of retards on there. I want to add some kind of comment about The Witcher 2, but I know it'll get deleted.

 

[goopit]

This is probably Anons at work but if Bioware fans look at this and get curious about it and become Witcher fans wouldn't it be a good thing
