I don't understand what all the hype/commotion is about. All those things are optional in game

As long as these things aren't forced on you, I couldn't care less. If it's bonus content than by all means, it's better than nothing.

i honestly don't see anything wrong with that, would those guys complaining prefer Kojima to release $15 map packs instead? I'm sure MGS fans are a smarter bunch, PeaceWalker sales will be hampered by piracy and these promotions might actually help them turn a profit.

It's hilarious and a day one buy for me. I love Kojima. Look at the intent people.

it seems that the only ones complaining are the people who aren't interested or doesn't even like MGS.

The presence of Monster Hunter in MGS:PW might boost sales in Japan

The Monster Hunter stuff actually sounds awesome, since it's a tie-in with another game, and affects gameplay.  Snake's been in 2 games outside of his own franchise as well so I kind of expect those hijinx from him.  I always like the wacky cross-overs, like Final Fantasy characters playing basketball with Nintendo characters and whatnot.

But Mountain Dew is disgusting.  It gives people "Mountain Dew Mouth."  Halo's Mountain Dew Gamer Fuel was bad enough.  I don't know why anybody would want to advertise for that stuff in a video game, especially in a game franchise about giant evil corporations.

I would've complained whoever it was.  But his explanation was what really bothered me.  "Surprise! An Axe Body Spray T-Shirt!"  Yuck.
