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

BK's just trying to tap into the video game industry in any way it cans.

I think the blame falls on EA here.
I'm all for realism, and that includes sponsor advertising but I've never seen a fast food joint sponsoring a prize fight dry.gif

Moving to Gamer Chat...

Oh and you'd be better set to send you comments about the Game back to EA, it would also be more effective if you encouraged people to boycott the game as opposed to BK...

BK doesn't care about the game, and that's ok they just make burgers

EA obviously doesn't care about the game either, and that's NOT ok because they make the game.

I was really on the fence about this game.  How pathetic is it of me that I can not play boxing games anymore.  Mike Tyson's Punch Out is the definitive boxer, and all others have sucked since.
It'd be nice to have a new game to play, but hearing this BK stuff (and knowing how annoyed I would get as well) I am out.  Top-spin 2 it is!

You should boycot BK for different reasons like oh i dont know because their food will kill you! All fastfood is horrible for you so no more fastfood! I got a laugh out of THE KING being a promoter in the game. I kinda hear where youre coming from though with all the ingame advertising and BK having nothing to do with boxing till its in front of a bunch of kids then they are all about ramming there nasty ass food down our faces! If they are gonna do this the only reason should be to lower game costs to the consumer, but unfortunately its to fatten their pockets.

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 ???

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.

Post by: twistedsymphony on February 22, 2006, 10:25:00 AM
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.

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.

Hey,

I did not read all of the posts.  Was there an email addy for EA so we can bitch?  I can only assume that BK paid something to be in the game if that is the case then the game should cost less to buy.  

Minimally there should be a disclaimer or something that says the game has advertising to an annoying level in it.

Yeah that'll happen.

Here is what I think of when I hear of BK.

Please tell me you are kidding. This would be one of the things I will not stand for. I get angry when I go to a theater to watch a movie and I have to watch commercials. I don't even watch TV because of them...adding them to games will cause me to stop playing them period.

I do not mind in a game when you drive by a bilboard with some brand plastered over it...but honestly if games every have commercials (skipable or not) I am done with a hobby that has brought me so much these past 20+ years...

As far as I know, the king is NOT a playable character.

You can, however, unlock him for usage.

You can "hire" him as a "promoter".  The screenshot you posted is of just that.  Think Fight Night round 2 where you could have a slut follow you to the ring.  Instead of some slut, you have the king follow you to the ring.

Ironically, he gives you a boost to "heart"...seems interesting since eating at shit-hole fast food restaurants will actually clog your heart.

Also, I don't have a problem with the ads in the game at all; it actually seems more realistic to me.  I guess it's pretty safe to say I already boycott burger king (and all other junk food), but I will not be boycotting under armour or everlast.

Get real.

When I first saw the King come out with my opponent, I was laughing so hard. Once you beat your oppent that has The King as a Promoter, than you can hire him. Its awesome.

This I think is one of the funniest parts of the game...Other than bashing someones face in three times while they are falling to the gound in a knockout.

So, we're in between rounds and I started manually healing my boxer (didnt take long cuz the guy couldnt hit me very much). So, he goes, "dude, if you dont auto heal next time i'm out of here, i dont have time to sit here and do nothing." WTF???? I really hope it wasn't any of you guys (if it was any of you guys that have sand in their clit about this whole advertising thing meet me on live so i can whoop the sheeiiiit out of you). Anyways, so i was like "dude, you obviously have time to just sit there and do nothing since ur sitting there playin a video game. Besides, it's 30 seconds at most. So the following round i whaled on his @ss and knocked him down and as he's goin down he pauses the game and quits. TARDED!!!!!

I totally agree that some adverts in games actually improve realizm, imagine a nascar game with no Bud car or if it belongs in the game like say a basketball game played at Staples Center.

My beef was this, I bought FN3, my first fight was Ali Frazier and im being totally bombarded with BK ads.  All that stats would pop up with a bright BK logo, the center ring, the ring posts, big banners hanging it was just over kill and totally wrong for the environment.  I mean when Ali fought Frazier there was a ABC logo on the microphone the announcer used and that was about it- definitely not the 2006 version of BK.

anyway, i have since played about 20 more games even another Ali Frazier and have not seen BK return.  The only thing that comes up is Dodge, Everlast and some clothing company.

all im saying is this was a terrible distraction to a historic boxing match.

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.

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.

Ok enough silliness for the night, back to Condemned.....

Nope, not me.

I dont have it public because I dont like many members(unfortunately), and vice versa, so only 4 or 5 Scene members/mods/admins have it. I dont need little kiddies giving me neg feedback and filing complaints because they dislike me here. Sad, but it happens.

I'm on my 2nd time thru Condemned. I got 530 points the 1st time thru(up to 610 now), mainly to get all birds and metal pieces. I'm shooting for Silver Melee, but admittedly have no desire to go all the way thru without using any guns, so Gold Melee wont be happening for me  laugh.gif

I recently found out the Propaganda reports coincide with the metal pieces found, hence why Im redoing it. Trying to beat CoD 2 on Veteran as well, and to think Hardened made me crabby....

Im also trying to kill Mcgruder in GUN but got irritated with that. The more I shoot the gas areas with tnt arrows and hurt him, the more pissed he gets and comes right up on me and unloads with that pos shottie. Ive gotten him down to like 20% health, and I hear he's supposed to go to a higher level and toss dynamite down once hes hurt bad. Well he never leaves the ground level Im on  sad.gif

I havent tried in almost a week, I'll give it a go this weekend. I'll bother my pal m_hael about it I'm sure  laugh.gif

yeah, mcgruder was pretty tough. fortunately, its a breeze to beat him once he goes to the upper level and starts thowing dynamite. my tip for beat him is just shoot the explosive arrows into the geyser when he gets near them, and try to keep him on screen at all times. those rocks provide excellent cover.also did you get all of the flask upgrades?

No, I didnt get all upgrades. I didnt know I couldnt leave the mine once I entered sad.gif

I believe I got 2 health upgrades, maybe leaving only one to get? I dont recall. Theres more health lying around the ground so its possible to beat him, I just get flustered, the rocks dont offer me much cover when Im drinking and the bastard comes around the side and pops me one, lol. Did you have all upgrades b4 entering the mine? and if not, were you able to play more afterwards, getting 100% of everything? I hope it allows me to do so. Im only at 370 points b4 the battle, Id hate to start over again.

Damn its moments like that where Id love to kill the natural light in that mine, and go sam fisher on his ass.

Condemned.... I just beat chapter 4 using no firearms. 1 - 4 stats at the end showed I used No firearms, yet it didnt give me the Silver melee  grr.gif I'll try another map with just melee, if it doesnt give it to me, fug it.

I was about to apologize for raping this thread with GUN/Condemned topics, but I forgot which thread this was  laugh.gif

your just advertising, its ok tongue.gif seriously, i didn't have all the upgrades, after you finish off mcgruder, you'll see the ending, watch the credits, and it will give you mcgruders shotgut (i think it was called the nok gun or something like that) and it will start you off at the outside of the mine and your free to do all the side quests and explore around. i did all the side quests after. you might have to start over if you want all the gold though because theres quite a bit of it, and its VERY hard to look at the guides and figure out which pieces your missing. i'm missing 2 pieces, and can't find the last 2 even with guides. (also giving a heads up that its only going to give you the achievement for beating the game on the difficulty your on, it won't give you the easier ones like pgr/perfect dark)

condemned was a great game, just gonna give you a heads up now in case you didn't see it your first time through, on the last boss sometimes a glitch will cause your weapon to dissapear. if this happens you'll have to kick him in the face until you can rip it off. the game allows you to change difficulty at any time though, so you don't have to kick his ass (quite literally) on hard.

also, the game only counts your last run through a level, what i mean by this is you finish level 5 your first time through and get all the birds, but miss a metal piece, after beating the game, you go back through that level and get all the metal pieces, but only grab 5 birds since you already have all six in that level, only the time you got the 5 will be saved so you won't get the golden bird achievement if you didn't have it already

----edit---
one more thing about condemned, each achievement you unlock, you can go into the achievements option on the main page and select it to view various things such as concept art, the making of, and stuff like that, i belive it was the golden bird award that had a real cool video of a game that looks like condemned but i assume it got scrapped and was renamed to condemned when finished (you'll see why if you unlock it)

Excellent smile.gif

I have 39 of 44 Golds going into the Mcgruder battle, and have already done quite a few side missions. I look forward to finishing it, its just the mcgruder part that pisses me off, lol. Thanks for all the info.

I had no such glitch with the boss in Condemned, thank goodness.

Back to City Hall in cod 2. I am NOT looking forward to such missions as Silo, Hill 400 and others on Veteran. I already have migraines from the simpler ones. Its already after 2am?! I have to be up at 7:30 for a gun show sad.gif

I think its much better than the other major fast food corperations like mcdonalds or DQ but of course I would rather grill my own when I have time.


How dare you!?
DQ takes the title with their Blizzards alone.
That's gotta be the best thing ever, I depend on them love.gif
