I probably won't make a lot of new friends here with this comment but here's my 2ct.

You people should not spend so much time to find things that annoy you.
You're playing a boxing game so play the damn game, stop complaining about the BK logo you're seeing, it's just getting annoying hearing nothing but whining on the boards.
EA always does everything wrong in some people's eyes but i think FNR3 is a very good game, which has brought me a whole lot of fun.
I couldn't give a crap less about the commercials in the game.
I actually understand them very well cause tests have pointed out that commercials in-game are very effective.

Another thing that cracks me up is that you guys are whining about all the BK commercials, but i don't hear a single soul complaining about all the EVERLAST logo's all over the ring, how come they are so much less annoying then

PS.
KFC pwnz BK

Agreed. what he said.

The everlast logos, the dodge logos are fine in the game, they dont detract from the gameplay. But when you see how badly and annoying the BK crap is you will agree.

not only are the logos and "have it your way" plastered all over, but the announcer actually says verbally between rounds "This punch brought to you by Burger King. it just doesnt belong.

i know boycotting burger king sounds stupid so boycott both... or write them an email that stupid advertising like this is going to backfire.

The game is amazing otherwise, truely amazing.

You make a good point....but so do the other guys, I remember when NFS Underground game out, loved it, couldn't wait for the sequel....they seemed like they did most things right as far as sequels go, but the constant barrage of ING Direct, Best Buy, and Cingular ads just kept pulling me out of the game for me to enjoy it....maybe it wouldn't have been so bad if the free roam mode wasn't so boring making me look for places....I mean, Midnight Club 3 had it's in game ads, but those didn't bother me cuz I was concentrating on the great action going on...hopefully I'll find FN3 the same way, I'm picking it up when I break for lunch.

wow thats harsh. Why do gamers have to ruin games with so many advertisements!! Now if they were made up advertisements like on whacked, those things were so funny. HOW TO WALK WITH A ROCK... ha ha ha classic

i didnt even see any logos last nite... i was pretty tanked though, staryed up till 4 playing it. now i ill probably see them becasue you mentioned it!

I personally have no problems with advertisements in games,

but I think they should only be used as a mechanism to improve the realism as opposed to pulling you out of the experience.

For instance a banner ad on the guardrails and bridges in an Racing game are completely accecptable...

If I put my game disc in and I'm forced to sit through a commercial before I can play, that is unacceptable

If they have me sit through a commercial while a level loads, THAT would be acceptable (so long as I can skip it pre-maturely if the game finishes loading early).

I haven't yet played FNR3 and I've never been to a Boxing match so I don't know what the acceptable advertising mechanism is for boxing, but it sounds to me like FNR3 isn't really out of line with what they're doing. The impression I get is that for the most part they're following with the advertising mechanism you would experience if watching an actual Boxing match, in person or on TV.

I was hoping that when I saw this thread at 4:30am and replied, it was a joke, or the thread starter was maybe irritable while posting and this thread would go away..........

As always, people here have proved me wrong, and I cant believe that a topic such as this is worth debating.

First shadows from rocks is removed in one game(whining can *maybe* be warranted), but now BK adverts in a boxing game send people into a frenzy, and BK is scorned for it.

This place is becoming more of a chore 2 visit lately

hamwbone · « **Reply #22 on:** February 22, 2006, 10:32:00 AM »

maybe they should think of some way if they are going to pilfer the games with ads, to tie the consumer in more. like say a free whopper coupon inside that packaging. meh? free burger any one?

.

well ill keep dreaming

EA ruined the game by putting in BK ads, and BK is to blame? You have some strange logic.

Define irony....listening to SOAD's Chic 'N' Stew, while playing FNR3....j/k, I just picked it up....but I won't be home for another 3hrs to play it dammit...I find that King character funny as hell, love that one commercial when he's diving for a TD.
