That looks really tacky. In game advertising is great if it blends into the landscape and like it says in the article you expect it in racers and sport games.
Deus Ex Gets Augmented with Star Wars Advertisements
- Thread starter Brian Albert
- Start date
It's funny to see people not wanting to play this game just because of a silly little advertisement, just ignore it and go back to terrorizing guards.
No... no... just... no no... Someone kill Lucas before he kills our dreams. I'm getting REALLY tired of his bullshit lately.
EDIT: Will still play game... just pissed at Lucas for degrading it to an advertisement board.

Sorry, What BS is that.tanis1lionheart said:
You are talking about free TV. well who actually PAYS for free TV?
On the Pay Channels you have no stupid Commercial breaks!
And in the Cinema, where I PAY to watch a movie there are no Commercial Breaks either.
I PAID money for DX:HR so I have a RIGHT for commerical free experience.
It´s not about the "DAMN LOADING SCREEN!" it´s about the concept Square Enix is forcing into the game.
All I'm saying is...people are overreacting...
O, wait, I'm on the internet...never mind, this is normal.
Is it LAME that SE is may start putting ads in their games?
Sure, yes...of course it is.
But will it kill the experience?
I doubt it.
Unless load times are made longer for the expressed purpose of letting ads run longer...IDK.
In games where a load-screen is going to be long, I don't pay attention.
I've got a computer or a book...hell, I'll go take a piss and learn a new language (if I'm playing DNF).
However, me...personally...I'd rather have ads during the loading screens (again as long as they aren't purposefully screwed with) than in-game where some enemy is wearing an 'Im-Luving-It' hoodie...for no reason but to sell you those golden arches.

We knew that they were going to put these ads in for months now, I mean, the empty spots for them were there already. If you wanted to vote with your wallet, you should have bothered to stay on the up and up.
I'm just wondering why they waited so long in the first place.

Unless of course the loading screens were purposefully made this way so adverts could be displayed for a "healthy" length of time.Scizophrenic Llama said:
It had long loading screens to start with, that was really my only complaint about the game aside from the bosses.008Zulu said:
Some do and if they are unskippable then that is also wrong. Most people skip them though but with ads on loading screens, that is like commercial breaks. So comparing tv shows on a free network (that can be picked up on an antenna) to a game you paid for is invalid.4173 said:
Example: I watch Star Trek TNG on Fox, I get ads. I watch it on DVD, I do not and the reason is because on DVD I paid for the show.
Nah, what I meant was that the loading screen times were intentionally made to be long so they could put in adverts like this at later dates.Scizophrenic Llama said:
Sorry, thought I'd fix that for you before it drove me completely and untterly insane.Scizophrenic Llama said:
OT don't take it out on the game guys. It's not the devs fault that Square Enix are being money grabbing bastards in this instance.
Again I'm fairly certain that the decision is down to the publisher, not the developers. So cut Eidos some slack.Nicolaus99 said:
It hardly matters. The loading screens don't exactly 'augment' my enjoyment of it [small](see what I did there?)[/small], so nothing is lost. I'm still not buying the blu ray Star Wars. Lucas has had enough of my moneys.
I see this has annoyed a lot of people. Why? It's a loading screen. Did you actually enjoy the strip of orange-yellow that this advert is hiding? If it's not everywhere in the game than I don't give a shit. If it gives them more money for nothing then good for them, they might use it to make another decent game. I doubt it but a little hope never hurt.
