Unit7 06/24/19 10:34:58 PM #31:	The only ads I want in my loading screen are In universe ads. Like say having Shepard tell me this is her favorite shop on the Citadel in Mass Effect. Maybe some weird prewar commercial for something in Fall Out. Maybe a Sales Deku Scrub trying to sell me some item in a Zelda game. Preferably in the style of a cheesy used car salesman kind of way. But actual ads? Nah. I'm good. Not that I'd actually want these either. Loading screens get old fast with just text. I mean... When they patch a game they could add a few new load screens. But I'd prefer that over actual ads. Product placement I'm generally ok with. I mean they gotta find funding somehow or if it's to make a bit of profit that way so... Ok sure. Put a can of Coke or have a character use a iPhone. There is a chance you'd never notice it and if you did, then it's probably only going to annoy you a little. Though the idea of Otacon using a Apple product is weird. I'd take him for more of a custom built machine myself. <cite>Unit7 posted [p:923801384] in 2K Games a...
