[QUOTE="LegatoSkyheart"]

Apparently Kevin Butler doesn't know that Red Dead Redemtion is Advertised as a PS3 game.

RogueShodown

Apparently, you and many other people totally missed the point. He(or the writers) never referred to the game with it's actual name, so most people who understand the joke, whether they found it funny or not, already had the game. It's like an 'inside joke.'

This.

And also... It's like if I (a huge Star Wars fan ever since I was a kid) was sitting around with my buddies (also Star Wars fans) and making jokes about or making fun of C-3PO. That doesn't mean I'm bashing Star Wars, or telling people not to watch Star Wars. It doesn't even mean I don't like the character of C-3PO. It just means that I find humor in some of his mannerisms or actions.

Or another example, it's like Yahtzee (Zero Punctuation) can spend 5 minutes ripping a game apart, making jokes about everything about it... and then say it's a great game. That's robably a bad example; I'm guessing most of the people who get butt hurt about Kevin Butler and don't think he's funny are probably the same people that take the Zero Punctuation reviews as being 100% serious as well.

Odd to make fun of something also on PS3... it discourages PS3 owners from buying it, which isn't beneficial for Sony.

oldkingallant

Yeah, but if you make a simple observation like that, PS3 fanboys will pretend that you are blowing things out of proportion.

LOL. Hes got a point.

He may have, but i dont see the point of him. Is he some kinda "make fun of anything not made by Sony" guy?

Or maybe hes just poking fun because it has boring conversations

yeah, sometimes it was a little annoying. like the rides to and from the mission objectives are usually twice as long as they were in gta 4 and you have to go slow or else you miss what they are saying.

Failing is not really accurate. But the guy is just for laughs, it is called good publlicity to make people recognize him.

He's not making fun of the game, just saying that the conversations are boring.

It's true but I don't see how that comment is funny.

Ross_the_Boss6

Everything he says is not supposed to be funny.It'sjust what he thinks of the conversations while riding horses in RDR. Also, he's not bashing the game.

Wow, one little comment and all haters come out of their shells :P

Early on I thought this was a bad thing, but I think the ability to have a 20-page argument over what a nerd in short-shorts said about a cowboy simulator is good thing.

No, he just isnt funny.

For who? You? I dont care.

If you don't care, why are you quoting him? Seems like a lot of effort for someone who doesn't care.

First off, Kevin B is awesome ... Let's just get that out of the way, secondly he's commenting on a game thats also on the PS3, so how can his bias (which he's paid to be) come into play? :/ ... Lastly how is he "making fun" of RDR? Every game has it's flaws, he's just pointing out one of RDRs, does that mean he's not enjoying the rest of the game?

[QUOTE="benbeckman"]this is the best advert sony have ever made for the best console they have ever madeRavenLoud
Not to be some nemesis to your position, but I just seen that ad for the first time, and I don't like it. It takes games too seriously, and is very arrogant (DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE TEH POWA OF TEH PLAYSTATION lol wut). My favorite PS2 ad was the 299. If I had that money (I was 9 and my parents don't support those things) I would have rushed out and bought a PS2 immediately. It just felt short, sweet, and sincere. My opinion anyway. BTW KB is doing his job fine IMO, and somehow I don't think you would bash him if he was doing it for the 360.

gotta agree that PS3 ad is just... pretentious might be the right word... really rubbed me the wrong way.

That's the thing, if Red Dead had been PS3 exclusive the comment would probably read something like "Don't you just love how this PS3 exclusive builds the story at all points in the game?" F*en hypocrite.

Yes, because the goal of Sony and everyone associated with Sony is to only have exclusives purchased for their systems. Are you high? It's a joke. They want you to buy RDR, they want you to buy every game released on the system, that's how the company makes money.

I know right? How can a man that appreciates the finer things in life like aromatherapy candles not be invited for an important press conference. He's earned. He should do the presentation to be quite honest. He doesn't have Tretons annoying lisp :P

I was more concerned with how much of a wimp John Marston was. He was always like 'if you don't tell me what I want to know I will shoot you' and he always did nothing. All talk no action.

You do realise he's an actor right and it would be a logical assumption that a team of writers would do the vast majority of his material and post on his twitter account etc. If it was just the guy who plays KB playing a game, he'd post about it under his own name surely, or is that his real name?

Snugenz

Exactly. He's an actor. So people need to stop taking him so seriously.

I never suggested i was taking him seriously, but Sony's PR people who right the stuff could take it too far someday. (piss off 3rd party devs etc.)

Yeah 3rd party devs/publishers would cut off support for a userbase of ~35 million because a Sony spokesperson hurt their feelings. :roll: Wait, when did corporations gain feelings? :? C'mon man, you don't really think these corporate relationships are that fragile, do you?

When I first saw this guy, I thought he was Conan O'Brien's sidekick lol. I think he's funny, but not hysterically funny. Then again, I've never thought of any commercial as being hysterically funny...

....Actually, that one PSP commercial with the Willow and Lillypads was pretty funny, as well as the Cheez-its interrupting cheese commercial that's recently been on television.

On topic though, it's just a joke. If you don't like it, maybe it's just not your type of humor. No harm, no foul.

Kevin Butler commercials are funny, but that's a lame statement. Convos in RDR are really well-written, they always focus on exposition of the main plot or the mission you are currently on, and it's a hell of a lot better than silence for 3-5 minutes of riding.
