Therefore, my first reaction upon hearing that Pandemic’sMercenaries 2: World in Flameswill have dynamic ad containing billboards was one ofinsurmountable rage. And I’d just gotten so hyped up over therecent footage. Bummer.
Lead designer Scott Warner was quick to explain that, whileMercenaries 2will have ads, they will at least be implemented with some manner of creativity (if you consider explosions to be creative that is).
“There’s a faction in the game that actually doesn’t like the fact that the first world is coming in and plastering their cities with advertising, so they’ll actually pay you to blow up billboards. So if you’re like, “goddamn it, the Mercs guys put advertising in the game,” you can just blow it up.”
I don’t like in-game advertising, but Idolike blowing stuff up. Oh well, I guess I can let it slidethis time, Pandemic. So how do you feel about in-game advertising? Does the thought of blowing some up excite you too?
