I got it for free on Epic, tried it, and uninstalled it after the first Monster Energy ad. Fuck that shit.
New studio, they had to get financing from somewhere, worst case get the director's cut upgrade whenever it's on sale, it cost me 5$, so I got 100h of gameplay for 5$.
I got the game for $7 on fanatical last week and yesterday whenever I was playing it, I went to go take a dumb and there was an ad for an AMC show.
Really took me out of it tbh.
As I said, no ads in the director's cut and otherwise, new studio so gotta get funding somehow... They didn't use a funding platform as far as I remember
Bro I was playing on the director's cut.
The context of the conversation was the director's cut so I didn't think I had to specify.
Also these companies get private investing for the games they create. The ads just sound like long-term monetization of a product. 'Passive income,' some would say lol. They're definitely not paying for their next games with ads on a 4 year old game if that's what your implying
I just have the base, original game on PC, and the energy drinks are just made up generic shit. I have seen the Monster Energy ad (as well as RayBan and other products Sam uses) from the game elsewhere, but always thought it was just a meme.
You only see the Monster stuff in the beginning IIRC
I don't remember seeing them after switching to the director's cut 🤔
Nah, pass. I'm soured on the game now. And there's a ton of other great games to play.
Monster Energy AD? For real?
Yep, it's the most shameless ad I've ever seen built into a video game.
Yes. This post apocalyptic wasteland in the far future is littered with cans of Monster Energy drink which act as healing potions. So it's not like you can avoid them either.
