XDDDDDDD

People, I'm rofling in real life here... seriously.
Everyone complain that Beth isn't doing a good job advertising their game and that they can't keep up to the times they say they'll release new information/screenshots.

But notice how everyone is so DEAD EAGER to see this ONE new screenshot XD

Personally... Beth, I applaud you, you're doing a GREAT job advertising the game, look at how hyped your fans are!

EDIT: Check out the number of people in the forums. Over 450

Because the last screenshots were posted a [censored] month ago. I'm beginning to think that Pete Hines's lead consultant is a magic 8-ball that says nothing but "No" and "Ask again later." This pointless media blackout is diminishing my interest in the game. Can you imagine how happy people would be if they released a screenshot of each race to go with the Khajiit and Orc ones? How those screenshots would be all over the Internet with people getting excited about how cool they look, did you see that Roman armor the Imperial was wearing, that High Elf's fancy robes, that awesome greataxe that the Argonian was carrying, etc. I can't wait for this game now! I'm going to make a blah blah blah...

Instead of getting a slow, teasing trickle of media we're getting [censored] all. Who the [censored] comes up with this marketing strategy? Hype dies down. It needs to be renewed every so often, even if only by a picture of a [censored] gazelle.

:yes:

I mean seriously, I love Bethesda, I love their games, but this PR is starting to get to me.

And people hyped/angry over a single screenshot doesn't get you?

NMA is laughing their asses off.

Also a single screenshot a few hundred people want currently isn't bad PR. It's called extreme impatience. Instead of doing something else with their time people are here instead.

J.E. Sawyer was pretty spot on.

How is this advertising? They are just pissing their fans off.

People hyped over a single screenshot do not get to me. Angry, well...

And yes, I see this as bad PR, though I'm no expert. Yes, everyone on these forums are psyched for the game and every little bit of info they get, but that's because most of us are serious Elder Scrolls fans. We'd all be just as psyched and ready to spend oodles of cash if they told us more or even less, just because it's Elder Scrolls. I doubt anyone besides ES fans knows a thing about Skyrim.

You cats are gonna be real upset when you find out it Orval the Swift, Beth is probably so pissed off by the "quakecon incident" they won't be realesing much till 11.11.11...

You deserve a cookie :cookie:

Potato, Tometo, Potato, Tomato.

Seriously. Admit it, you REALLY want to see this picture now that it has been delayed, and you'll want to see it even more if it's delayed a little further. Of course if they overdo it it's not a good thing. But at the moment? It's a good hyping method.

I don't need to be hyped more, I'm already hyped for Skyrim. So their "hyping" method is wasted on me and at this point it's just annoying. In fact, the only reason I find it so annoying is because it's a freaking SCREENSHOT. Taking a screenshot from your own game should not take 8 days(I'm assuming that we're not getting it today) hell, it shouldn't even take 8 hours!

Nonetheless, it's working. Fact is that most people here check the forums everyday and like you said, it's only -one- screenshot.

I said just a few posts ago that the people who check these forums everyday do so because they are Elder Scrolls fans. Not because their PR is working. In fact, if the PR was working, a lot more people would know about Skyrim than they do.

Anybody who plays games as a hobby knows about Skyrim.

XDDDDDDD
