WTF? New ad for the Halflife "Orange Box" is weird

submitted by Krupo

1 decade 7 years 3 weeks ago

Courtesy of Rock, Paper, Shotgun, I found this vid and will share their comments as well:
"It’s an odd beast. According to HalfLife2.net it was sent to them by Valve, and it’s clearly made with a wedge of money. But it doesn’t really seem to say or do anything. What’s the message? The Orange Box is from outerspace? It will break your property? Presumably, “It’s here” is the message we’re supposed to take. But since it contains five of the best PC games there are, maybe that should be the focus of its promotion? Who knows."

Very 90's - more attitude than content.

Thats gotta be the worst ad for any videogame, ever. Who's retarded idea is this? 5 seconds pf TF2 footage could sell this game to anyone. or Portal, or HL2. TV ads are supposed to get the wider audience interested, no? After seeing this nonsense, most wont even know its a freaking game, much less any of the contents. What a waste of money.

Where was this shown on TV?

I absolutely agree to the bicycle man

Sucks big time, i wish i could downvote it. Portal rules. They should open a portal in front of the meteor and a second one above the agency that produced the ad.

LOL, neural's comment is awesome.
