It's not like there's billboards all over the game. And why can't Snake have nice things for once? All he usually has is a pack of cigarettes, once he had to vomit up to partake of. I say it's high time he got something soothing other than cancer sticks.Real cell phones in the hands of characters? Good god, what were they thinking? Clearly they should use tin cans on strings.The game uses real weapons, created by real companies. The game has even had conversations about them (check out Sigint's explanations of your arsenal in MGS3) everyone knows now that the Colt peacemaker was "the greatest handgun ever made"-- so why can't Eva (ne Big Mama) ride a real cycle? Which, btw, she also did in her previous incarnation. Just be glad she's not riding some big honkin' Harley with big handlebars.Every sports, every racing game now has product placement all over their respective playing fields and courses and have been doing so for a long, long time-- Why does MGS4 have to be some sort of sacred cow that cannot and should not have real-world products? Oh good lord. It’s not like there’s billboards all over the game. And why can’t Snake have nice things for once? All he usually has is a pack of cigarettes, once he had to vomit up to partake of.
