EasyCure, the ironic thing is Guitar Hero World Tour actually had a KFC product promo and the game came with some coupons for some food thing (I think it was KFC or whatever) . The product promos in Rock Band 2 are at the very least music related (and I hate Hot Topic). Ever since Activision took over Guitar Hero had retarded product placement.
I know, i got those coupons in my band kit, haven't used them yet though
In fact both examples i used were actual products seen in GH. The first 'venue' you play at has a load of kfc stuff on a table, as well as a coke bottle that has its own cutscene! Then theres that venue on water and you see lit up billboards in the background for AT&T.
I'd rather have that sort of situation over what was done in RB though. In GH you don't see your characters eating KFC or using the AT&T phones, nor are they directly sponsored by them. I get to my second venue in RB and my 'band' is suddenly being sponsored by Hot Topic with a huge banner in the back, bigger than my bands banner. That just ruined it for me. Then, like Morari said, you end up having to play stuff like Paramore as part of that sponsorship. It makes this huge mental thing. I played Paramore in GH too, but it didn't come with this evil corporate stigma!
Oh and whoever thinks Hot Topic is a music-related corporate partner is just silly
I've seen they're sales figures and business strategy from the inside, and trust me selling actual music (ie cd's or dvd's) is the last thing on their minds. Hell their former slogan "everything about the music" was changed because some stores stopped carrying.. *gasp* actual music! lol!
anywayy.... anyone have an answer to my question about editing a character?
