Title: the last R6: Vegas update the stupidest update ever.
Post by: brawndolicious on December 28, 2007, 07:15:28 PM

this game, which came out about a year ago, just got an update recently and I was wondering what the fuck they changed until I saw a huge Assassin's Creed poster in the casino and then got shot in the head...

spoiler (click to show/hide)

they changed all the in-game advertisements to new shit for those of you who can't read between the lines.

I doubt it's the work of the update.

ads are dynamic, they get changed all the time.

how would they change the ads without an update?  and it was a lot of ads.  like maybe 10 posters are changed to new games or movies.  nothing else was different.

Something like this:

though Ubi may have used the update for this, like you said.

now that I think about it I think I did see a few old spice ads...

They aren't updates, those change on the fly and don't tell you about it.


When i last played vegas I had die hard 4 posters in it.   I think it's fun and makes the game feel current.

yeah I see you playing that all the time.  it's a lot different (more about strategy than how well you can shoot) but it's really awesome.  I suggest finishing the campaign first since it's pretty short.  It also has online co-op.

The ads in Madden change periodically without updates.

Yea it is an ad patent MS bought, so ads could be swapped out on the fly for any publisher that wants to use the service in their game.  I think it is neat when the game is suitable for the service.

The last level of this game is atrocious. Otherwise, it's a delight with a great multiplay package. We can play when I get back from Europe.

I actually liked that level.  if only for the change in scenery.
