ITT: Games you know for a FACT that were shilled/astroturfed/viral marketed on /v/I'll start
>>734240446expedition 33its not only reserved for shit or mediocre games
[game i really hate]
That game you like that I don't like.
Blue Princeof all the puzzle games that could have blown up, I'm supposed to believe that one did?
>>734240446invisijew is trash
This was probably the earliest and most transparent case that I can remember on this board.
>>734240446Your favorite game.
>>734240446Astro bot is the most blatant one.
>>734240446The game -I- hate.
>>734240446what does itt mean?
>>734240446my life for mandy
They do it for free tho
Theres an esoteric ebb shill thread up right now
>>734240446Not just this game, but the crowdfunding campaign itself. Shit was so bad it won a /v/GA award just for how fucking unusable the gaming boards were during that time.
>irl is full of unfixable crazy women>but invisibitch is more of the same>is the most popular
>>734240952He's the hairy, Captain Caveman looking dude from The Addams Family.
>>734241134The fantasy here is that you CAN actually fix her.
>>734240764Real answer. These are shilled every time one comes out.>>734240446I believe people are "discussing" this a bit since anything with sexual content is spammed here.
>>734240646It wasn't shilled. I think it was just that some of the people who worked on it also post here
>>734241134it isn't just girls that like bad boys, boys love crazy girls
>>734240952ITT is "in the thread". >normies
>>734240446Dead Island.
>>734240750Its cause the dev literally has jewish connections and I'm not making that up, he literally was networking his game to success
>>734240750>of all the puzzle games that could have blown up, I'm supposed to believe that one did?
Like every fucking hero shooter from the last decade. It's half the reason why I think so many in the last few years have failed. People just see through the fake hype and bullshit
>>734240446Assassin's Creed shadows. well, every Ubisoft game really.
>>734240446Is a threesome route even possible?
>>734241051>copy a game with no sales>wtf i have no sales??
>>734240446every big Tencent release is shilled here
>>734241120indivisible (beta) is a good game. sucks that it has its memory tied to indivisible (finished product) but still
>>734241701If the devs aren't fucking cowards, it should be possible in season 2
I'm way too old to still be here, I fucking hate how much this shit was shilled around here in 2007.Fucking Recettear.
>>734241786kinda hard not to anon.
>>734241701Technically, yeah. You can make out with both girls, but I think that locks Invisigal to becoming a villain.
>>734240446
>>734241809>shilledas much as the 2 people working at carpe fulgur absolutely posted here, the majority of the hype for recettear was absolutely natural because it was a>japanese>indie>on steam
>>734241841I mean over the course of the games development cycle it had both its head developers fired, was completely rebooted into a different video game genre than the beta gameplay, and finally was pushed out as a sad clearly unfinished skeleton of a video game in order to have the company prove they actually shipped a product to avoid a crowdfunding lawsuit. The hype for what the game could have been (the artists and writers behind skullgirls making a story-based RPG game that has the platforming of super paper mario but with actual RPG combat) was genuine.
>>734241809get off the web grandpa
>>734240446>retards actually believe companies are spending money to shill on this shithole
>>734240646>its not only reserved for shit or mediocre gamesE33 is mediocre thougheverbeit
>>734242661That's the fun partThey do it for free
>>734242661Not *this* shitholeEVERY shithole
>>734241345>some of the people who worked on it also post hereHow often does that happen?
>Know for a fact>nobody posts facts
>>734241809Don't be a cunt anon Recettear for some reason is a great game even if the dungeoning is mediocre and the shopping is now solved.Eventually it got us Battle Chef Brigade which is itself a shit covered truffle like Recettear but they are both still truffles.
>>734240446Crystal Project dev is insufferable and spams his shit no-story-having game on every vidya related board from here to kingdom come
>>734241873Yeah, back around that time you had Recettear, then Chantelise and Fortune Summoners, then it took an entire Greenlight campaign just to get Gurumin on Steam.
>>734241345>they did it for freethats even worse
>>734241345Freemason 33 was absolutely shilled you stupid goy
>>734240764The ending of this game was a shitshow of such epic proportions in the gaming community, it will always hold a special place in my heart.
>>734240952It means "It's Turbo time" meaning OP expects his thread to go full blast.
>>734241530I don't get the image aren't the dates of those all AFTER release?
>>734240446That fucking horse game
Toby Fox deserves the money his games get more than you desver it for whatever game you've tried to make.You literally have no counter argument
>>734240446Blonde Blazers tits were NOT that huge.
>>734243824>TOBY "RAPIST" FOX DESERVES ANYTHING FROM /V/KYS NORMIE FAGGOT REDDITOR
>>734243279Adventure Time even some "official" r34 comes from the creators shitposting here
>thread should be filled with examples like Andromeda getting fired from EA and spilling the beans about all the actual shilling he did for games like the tortanic>actually filled with retards too stupid to filter threads they don’t like and getting assmad they saw them
Human Revolution,
>>734240446Every EA game It sucks because I actually played Battlefront 2 but the """discussion""" on /v/ was so fucking hollow, literally just fake talking points between shills who didn't even play it
>>734240952I'm Turbo Tastic!
>>734240764Yeah that is still the most blatant example I can think of.
>>734240446e33bg3boredlandsbalatrolife is strangemewgenicsffxivapex legendsThere’s a lot more but I’ve pushed them out of my mind.
>>734245929Sorry I forgot the big ones: marvel rivalsdispatch
Why'd you post an image that you'd need to play the game to even know what it's referencing? If you wanted to make a Dispatch thread, you just had to say "X is best girl".
Audiosurf. Not that anyone complained, in fact I know we didn't hear any bitching when another anon made the audiosurfboard so everyone could keep playing the demo.
>>734240646>Ramjeet still seething he can't understand why E33 swept the awardsFeels good to be white.
>hurr durr any actual game discussion (read: anything other than off-topic culture war shitflinging) is shilling
when you’ve been here for 20 years you know what’s ironic and what isn’t
>>734243824My game isn't filled with faggotry.
>>734246083>faked underdog narrative>movie deal before it was even released>getting literal presidential medals and some shit for vidya>and so much morewhy are you so fucking retarded for a white man? oh i guess you must be one of those half brown mutt types that believes he is white.
>no joke 90% of threads on the catalog were just threads about this game at one time>not even a week later it is totally memoryholedactual genuine astroturfing right here
>>734246284I got baited into it. An alright 6.5/10
how about some actual fucking evidence instead of "this game I don't like got popular!"
Metaphor.It's double funny because the game got cracked early and the shill also need to dissuade pirate from playing the game. The metaphor thread back then were really hostile to any mention of the pirated version.
>>734243839maybe not Blazer but what about Mandy?
>>734243824Considering Undertale won absolutely no major award, it's popularity was likely genuine-ish
>>734242661>companies spend MILLIONS to make streamers stream a game for around a few thousands people for a few hours>they would NEVER spend a few pennies to effortlessly shill on a site that requires no account or anything to post in, that has a demographic that 100% fits your audience and there's no way to track themAre people really retarded enough to believe this?
>>734246264>faked underdog narrativeHow is it faked? Sandfall is a brand new indie studio and most of the devs had never worked on a game before. Both of those are facts.>movie deal before it was even releasedStory kitchen bought the movie rights. That doesn't mean there actually will be a movie. Seems their business model is just to buy movie rights for any new IP they can get their hands on (grow a garden, my friend pedro, slime rancher, etc) for cheap so if it becomes a hit they can resell it for a huge profit or make the movie.>getting literal presidential medals and some shit for vidya It was some kind of french art award. Not a lot of games coming out of france and especially not a lot of good ones, so when a masterpiece like E33 happens, they'll want to encourage it.
>>734243772he's saying these games had demos and people played them. The people saying these games show up out of no where are retards who don't play video games just like you
Pretty much every major release recently. Very noticeable in how one day you see 3+ threads consistently and then it's all gone.
>>734247593ok where is the ad agency that posts on 4chan? surely there is one that advertises this perk?undisclosed ads are also against the law in the US, so this agency would be selling illegal services, btw
>>734248242>ok where is the ad agency that posts on 4chan?Night MediaNotice how mods rarely ever delete Asmon threads. There can be times when Asmon threads are up for over 24h and not touched while mods delete all other kind of threads.
>>734240446Umamusume
>>734248284I'm browsing their website, they talk about all sorts of perks and channels for advertising, but 4chan is absent??
>>734240446Honestly I don't think there's any. If astroturfing on 4chan was feasible and actually increased sales by more than it cost, this site would be unusable since everyone would be doing it.
the idea of shilling falls apart when you realise people dont even want to advertise on this siteand the few that do, well, they're not exactly singing praises of the click-through ratein short, the idea that 4chan is a desirable demographic for your product is pure delusion, with an unhealthy dose of unwarranted self-importance
Vinny Vinesauce pays me im hot sauce to post on 4chan.
>>734247097god she's so hot
>>734240446>Crimson Dessert>Marathon>Hytaleinb4 some fag thinks that because he has an interest in the games that means there weren't literal shills with marketing clips bumping those garbage threads constantly
>>734246227Post-gameOh wait you won't because you're a coward
>>734241701There is an option, but in reality, the game just railroads you into the Invisigal route and Mandy dumps you.
Mandy!
>>734243462Fuck off. Not the thread topic. bitch, but thanks for admitting they shilled.
>>734240845astro bot is fun so it gets a pass
>>734242057Don't forget redesigning everyone to be cal-arts compliant
>>734240446Square's still paying marketers to this day.
>>734240446You can't know something for a fact without evidence
>>734251438>Mandy!wholesome!
>>734240446Signalis and VA-11 HALL-A
>>734241809>2007Try 2010.
There was a painful shill campaign from the Sea of Stars team when that POS came out. Someone posted the tranny line in their game and they continued to both get defensive and gaslight that there was no agenda there after the screenshot got reposted in every ad thread. Which caused mass dunking on the game and ruined Sabotage Studio's reputation here. Had they stfu like with the Messenger that would not have been a thing. But then again you can't really separate the two. The fact they had proud troons shilling that shit and the game being shit kind of are interlinked and causal.
>>734241809>shilled in 2007And how the fuck would a japanese indie game be shilled here? It was just a good game.
>>734246773>instead of "this game I don't like got popular!"But if no one complained about games they don't like, what would anyone do on /v/?
>>734248752No, there's shilling but only for indie games. You have to be a complete fucking retard to believe a game with thousands of players online on Steam has to be shilled to have constant threads here.

>>734248235This but for every board.Why do people talk so much about things that happened recently?People should always talk about everything that has happened in the world at an equal rate in relation to every other event, forever and onto the future.That just makes more sense than mostly talking about things that just happened as they are relevant.
Concord (check earlier threads shilling it as the next biggest thing in gaming)Highguard (same)Marathon (check current threads)
>>734240446So pretty much every game to shit the board with 5 threads at all times over the past ~10 years?E33CP2077RE whatever-the-fuck no.9999ShitpatchFaggotlogicTroongenicsKCD2Marvel RivalsBrown RPG culture war slopNotice how jannies aren't deleting these threads and they die after less than a month immediatelly.
>>734241134The fantasy is that she genuinely loves you if you simply spend time and side with her.That's a male power fantasy, that they can make a woman truly love him by just being nice. Meanwhile, irl, women only wants men they already find hot to be nice to them, otherwise, they are creeps and gives the ick.
