Instead of them being on loading screens, they will also be on characters and the background of stages.

I would presume that the pro tour is a filler ad of sorts that they used to get the system running with the eventual goal of replacing them with ads for other things in the future.

You know this would not have been too bad of the ads were just in certain places in the backgrounds, where they make sense, eg a Dial soap ad in the wall of the bathtub in hondas SF2 stage, or a Skoal ad in the planes in guiles stage or a steroids ad presented as a poster in zangiefs SF2 stage.

But instead the ads are fucking tattoos and patches all over the fighters, this shit kills all sense of immersion

You can get potentially 12 FM per match

A costume costs 40.000 FM

There is no incentive to have ads turned on at all

To my knowledge, if you turn the ads off then you will be getting the exact same amount of fight money that you would have gotten if these ads never existed. That's not a punishment.

That being said, I agree that these ads ruin the aesthetic of the game and look terrible. I'd be fine with them advertising Pro Tour in the menu screen, but advertising it on characters and in backgrounds just looks bad and doesn't even make sense.

i mean, have any of you seen a NASCAR race, and what the drivers wear there? a few little patches with a Pro-Tour ad on characters' costumes is seriously a non-issue........


They look bad and if you turn off they actually decrease your winnings from fights, which was already not that great in the first place. And what's more you bought the game already and they're forcing advertisements in. It's more like you rolled off the lot in a brand new car and then a year later the dealership rolled up and started pasting ads all over the sides of it

My main issue with it is that it's ugly and their placement really makes no sense with the aesthetic and feel of the game.

Once again, if you turn the ads off, then you get the same amount of fight money that you would have historically gotten. In other words, it's business as usual. There is no need to be upset about that.

Can you really not see how not making a big deal out of this now causes problems when every other publisher starts doing it too? You gotta fight this stuff early while they're testing the concept, because once it's in every AAA game (see: lootboxes, preorder bonuses, day 1 DLC, a bunch of deluxe editions, etc) it's a lot harder to remove.

If that's true then something has changed since I last heard about them doing this. I remember reading that turning it off would cut your winnings.

Either way, they're still incredibly tacky and don't belong in anything except a free to play game. Capcom already has my money, they don't need to bleed more out of me

I already said that I don't like it. Not sure what more you want here. All I'm doing is pointing out inaccurate information. There's enough here already to dislike, no need to add inaccurate stuff to try and make a point.

This is fair.

But people paid full price for what amounted to a fucking beta release, then they had to pay more for the story mode or other fighters. They had to basically buy the game twice and then they dare so this shit

Don't forget to add in the part where they added in several things afterward that would make up for the "beta release" for free.

I mean I get it, they didn't release what most would consider to be a full game, just give full context is all if we're going to go down this road.

This game should be banned. Its become an advertising catalyst. Yes many other games have done this before. Tons of EA, Activision games. As much as I like burn out paradise. That would have to be banned too. Or these games are stripped of the post release advertising stitched into the games.

It was not out of the goodness of their hearts.

Their thought process was were releasing a limited content game meant to be played almost exclusively in 2 player online mode with no storyline, character profiles, arcade mode or endings, just so we can cash on it in an upcoming game tournament, because fuck you, street fighter customers, that is what you get

They didnt make up for the pseudo-beta release until they realized that the gamer backlash was too great and the game would flop harder than the sega 32x did.

It has been their business model since then, throw shit at the wall and see what they can get away with without too much backlash, if the backlash is too great simply take back whatever you did.

This is not true

It was known from the jump that they were releasing the game early "in beta mode" because they wanted to get the game out early before the end of the Capcom Pro Tour & EVO. It was also known from the jump that they were planning to release the story mode ~2 months later at no additional cost

If you don't like that, fine, but stop misrepresenting the situation.
