Heh yeah you can setup Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 to display various billboards around your park either with you own pics and photos displaying on them or you can set them to update from the internet with various real adverts.
Personally I think it does add a touch of realism to games and I especially found this when I first saw the mods for Vice City where you could add McDonalds and other restaurants around the city. THis wasnt official though so it kind of made you feel like your city was just a bit more real and customised than the average.
Actually having adverts forced down your throat is a different matter all together! So for me....just for putting that advert in a game and shoving it down my throat they can stick that film up their fucking arses. Afterall, you paid for the game didnt you? Its not like the TV where they have to put in ads to make money to put the shows on.
Still with that said, any DVD you buy thesedays has a ton of ads on it and some even throw in a little sneaky block to stop you skipping them.
In games I think these features should be entirely optional. I dont mind having signs about for Fako-Cola and that sort of thing.
For the people who are still alive.
