http://kotaku.com/5511327/metal-gear-solid-more-like-metal-gear-solid-advertising-your-billboard-here Fuck that. I don't want modern Doritos and Axe shit filling up my game set in the 70s! What gives?! This really turns me off to the game knowing that theres going to be all this outside influence. I don't want corporate influence in ANYTHING I like, let alone one of my favorite game series ever. This sort of blows. This clearly has no impact on the game play and story but it hurts to know my money will be going to all these other companies. Calorie Mates, fine. Regain, fine. Mountain Dew? Fuck no. I can't help but to think I feel this way partially because these are not some strange brand of bizarre nourishment, but rather things I can go to the store around the corner and see. |

The tie ins aren't in the Western Version. Man Kal you need to do some more looking around. In any case, this has been in MGS for ages. |

The ipod was cool, the macs were not. They seemed really out of place in the first act. |

This is hardly new in gaming or MGS, and it can be easily overlooked in most cases (just like millions of adds that you find on your favorite websites while browsing). While it can be annoying at first, it's fairly easy to ignore them. |
| He whispered "Hold me here" and I did and his head fell back. He whispered "Press harder" and I did and his eyes rolled back. It's just breath control. I saw him go pale. I saw him seize up, I felt something creep up like a taste for this. Like a reward. A kind of love, a kind of lustmord. It was a minute then three then five then ten, he wasn't coming up again. I held on for twelve. I saw him seize and thrash and twist and when he was still, I lifted away my wrists and looked at my hands and tried to understand. | |

It can't be for nothing

That's the same way I am. I don't know if you have any interest in Peace Walker, but I am still excited for it. A lot of sponsoring in the game doesn't bother me in the least. So long as it doesn't effect the storyline and gameplay like this, I'm fine:

Gotta pay the bills somehow. Plus I hear the iPod/Mac/Energy drink/other random shit went over a hell of a lot better in Japan than in the West. My own personal reaction to it was pretty negligible, I remember being excited about the iPod stuff because I thought I'd be able to play my own music in game, unfortunately that didn't happen. At the end of the day I didn't even notice the product placement in MGS4. The energy drinks were just better rations and the iPod was just an excuse to listen to The Best Is Yet To Come on repeat. I doubt I'll notice it in Peace Walker either. |

The Boss to Surpass Big Boss

Peace Walker has more sponsors that are more known to the West, such as Doritos and Axe. I'm pretty sure REGAIN is only sold in Japan... I recall something about a REGAIN commercial starring Old Snake. |
