Ash360: I beleave it was only those in America that ended up with the advertisements.
Navagon: I haven't even heard of an American getting hit with them. All I've seen is a screencap that's been circulating the gaming blogs and some code in the game that suggests it's possible. People actually getting hit with ads? None that I've heard about.
FraterPerdurabo: Have you tried it? Does it help?
Navagon: Hey, thanks! I'll give it a go. My only real grievance is the occasional really stupid death and the game subsequently stealing cash from me to resurrect me. It's like I'm getting trolled by the damn game.
For instance, I kicked a beach ball into a pool - instant death. Cash stolen. Resurrected. Avoided beach balls in future. More dangerous than a pack of zombies, those.
If it were possible to remove the cash thieving tendencies of the game then I think I'd enjoy it a lot more. But I like to test the limits of what's possible in games. Even if it means the occasional death. I don't particularly like the idea of being bankrupted though so it's kind of reigned me in a bit.
Let me know how it works! Would like to give it a go as well but I'm out of the country for a while.
I didn't play much but I didn't really find an use for cash, mainly because I didn't use the menus (due to the piss poor sensitivity thing, I vented about it in the other thread).
Would like to give the game a proper go.
Also, how do you guys kill thugs? I ended up just throwing stuff at them, picking them up again and repeating...
