I'm not one way or the other on BK love vs. FNR3 or anything, but I just thought it was ironic that a product that renders you a total fatass is advertising in a sports game.  Where's the logic to the marketing?  "Here, eat our burgers and you can knock the fuck out of Tyson"...?  I can understand them advertising in Nascar or golf or something non-athletic, but boxing?  I just don't understand...

Because most of the people who play video games are fat asses or are people who regularly eat fast food products / nerds.

When my friends played the full version, the first thing they said were things about the Burger king stuff all over.  It apparently bothers some but not all.
Ah, I was putting too much direct PR behind the thinking... it was more sublime then that.  Thanks.

I dont have much of a problem with in game advertising, so long that its subtle. I dont want any in your face crap, Im trying to play a game after all! In game advertising does add to the realism too, but only if theres a variety of ads. If youre playing and all you see is McDonalds ads everywhere, something doesnt feel right.

On the other hand, do in game ads even work? Its like infomercials. Does anyone jump out of their seat to buy stuff?
I dont know about you, but I dont feel inclined to buy Axe deodorant every time I play burnout, or eat McDonalds whenever I play NFS.

Sure, sorry i didnt to begin with i was/am still really pissed about all this.

Fight Night has been a great franchise imo, so naturally i was excited about the 360 version.

Well i've only played 2 matches but the Burger King crap is so overwhelming that it totally takes away from the gameplay.  Every round or replay is brought to you by burger king, there are 3 BK logos on the the turn buckles, the center of the ring is burger king, there are banners from the ceiling that say have it your way- even the announces SAY this punch brought to you by burger king. the walls are plastered with logos... most are so much higher in contrast to the rest of the game its all you pay attention to.

the game has a very cool shader system to create some nice dynamic lighting, well when they put stats over top, this crazy high contrast burger king logo pops up which totally makes your eye go- what the hell is that blinding thing down there- oh a damn BK logo.

i can deal with subtle fitting adverts, but since when was Ali / Frazier sponsored by a bk broiler?  

the game btw, is amazing otherwise. i cant stress enough how much this ruins it though.

WRITE SOME EMAILS TO EA AND BK FOLKS!!!!

Guess thats why you need EA to spell LAME.
5 minutes later..... i cant believe im watching chics figure skating the day FN3 comes out. FUBK


LMFAO!  Wow.  I can't believe that. I'm glad they kept it small in NFSMW.

I just ate at BK and it was delicious.  I hardly even noticed the sponsers.  I don't see where people think just because BK added some funding to EA with an exchange for some advertisements its such a bad thing.  And for those people who think its out of place for BK to be in boxing, its not the boxers they want to buy there food its the viewers/players.


How can you say BK is delicious? They microwave their burgers. So gross! Microwaved lettuce and tomato, yuck!

BK Rocks.. I may just go down and get 2 whoppers for $3 at lunch today...
yummie!

As far as the original topic goes from the 1st page...
who cares.  Get used to product placment/advertising in games.
Its not going anywhere... and if you are boycotting something just because
YOU dont like it...  you are going to miss out on a lot in life, sonny.
Take what you can get when you can get it, and just learn to enjoy the
hell out of it.
