We are slowly getting closer to in game commercials. And I don't mean a Nokia on a billboard (splinter cell) or a banner for dlc (hitman) or a promotion for another game in the same library (mirage)
I mean stomping on a Goomba and then a pop up for a Mazda SUV appears
That already happens. Check out Monster Energy drinks in Death Stranding.
But everyone loved that one. How does Reedus live shotgunning only cans of Monster for healing? Kojima. And it was so hilariously placed that one of the big points against the Definitive Edition was that they removed them.
Other people might've, I thought it was despicable. Never touching another Kojima game after that. Its ridiculousness does not push it back over the line of acceptability, for me. That would just reinforce the idea that advertising in games is okay if it's brazen enough. No, thank you.
I won't fault you for that. It honestly felt so on the nose and laughable that it didn't even register as an ad to me, and more like "Kojima really likes Monster." The same way they also shoved in a line for "Ride with Norman Reedus" when you ride a bike, which is so ridiculous it loops into being hilarious.
