I have no idea why they keep doing this stuff. It does nothing but make them look even worse when you think they can't possibly do anything else to accomplish that but they manage.

(Note: This was posted with tremendous ammounts of restraint from what I really want to say.)

While I love some of the advancements we've gotten from this next-gen gaming setup, I hate some of it with a passion.

I really like the old days where you got a game, and that was the game - there was no having to go download stuff, pay for extras, or having to link it to some website. You just put it in and played it in its entirety.

This liking and sharing crap on Facebook just to get a fighter is just pointless nonsense.

Dumbest thing I have ever heard. I don't give a damn about Twitter or Facebook, so I am out of a fighter then? Sick of all these gimmicks.

Jesus people. Its called marketing. I can understand that people are upset about the gamestop thing (I am too because I would prefer to buy my game somewhere else) but complaining about this? Most people have a Facebook account so its as simple as pressing the "like" button and adding your email address.

Don't have or want a Facebook account...create a fake one, press the like button and just have THQ send the code to your correct email address. That simple.

I guess.

Just seems shady to me.

How is it shady though? Everybody gets the fighter as long as you provide your email. You don't event have to let them use the email for marketing purposes. You can opt out of the newsletter and unlike the page.

I wasn't aware of that, I guess it's alright then.

I don't call it marketing,I call it being asked to spam friends or go through hassle to get something that should be included with the game to begin with.

I also call it I'm renting the game because they've done nothing to earn my pre-order,only make me not want to play it and will be missing out on 3 possible #1 contenders/champions and that will of course negatively effect my experience.

They should be working for us. Not the other way around. They want our $60 and want us to do even more to get stuff that should be there? No.

Marketing department needs to be canned. Only thing that's made them look good so far was the Pride video.

I'm not talking about the gamestop preorder so the "missing out on 3 possible contenders" thing doesn't apply. As I said earlier, its not a "hassle". Its pressing a button. If thats considered a "hassle", I have no idea what you consider hard work.

I just feel bad for those who don't own a PC. Those are the ones who are S.O.L

I'll be honest if you own an xbox 360 or ps3 and don't own a pc (you can get a one for around 300 bucks)....your priorities are probably a little messed up.

# 12 goh @ 12/27/11 02:31 PM

I was including Overeem in those 3 with Davis and Diaz.
And yes it is a hassle because I wouldn't spam my friends with this bull**** so would have to dig up an old account or make a new one just to get a fighter that they lisenced for the game yet didn't include.

You aren't spamming them. LOL. All it says is you "like" UFC Undisputed. It appears once on their timeline. Thats it. I'm amazed that people are complaining about this.

Exactly, it's not like we're actually having to pay out of pocket or anything. I'm a little put off by the GameStop fighters, I prefer to get my games from Amazon or Best Buy. However, it's totally worth it to me and understand it. Hell, most companies have pre-order incentives, so let's not act like this is nothing new. I guess some people just like to complain about every little thing.

# 15 Perfect Zero @ 12/28/11 08:23 AM

My complaint with all of the new "like" this and "message this to ten friends" that is that it's basically telling you do to the advertising for the company. Not only do you pay $60 for the product, but you have to go out and advertize for them to get more of the game. Shady practices like that are deterring me away from this game. If they can't afford simple advertizing, it makes me wonder what the game will actually be like...

# 16 justblaze09 @ 12/28/11 10:06 AM

They gave an option to just submit when you put your info for the code.

This is far from spamming on facebook.

They aren't telling you to do anything. They are asking you to do something. I didn't message 10 friends and I registered for the code.

I work for one of the biggest cable networks in the world and guess what....we use Facebook and Twitter to market our shows all the time. We have a website for one of our networks that asks people to post their thoughts about shows and puts them on Facebook and Twitter. My company spends tens of millions of dollars a year on advertising so it has nothing to do with "affording simple advertising". It would be idiotic to ignore those advertising options just because a few people think it spamming.

# 18 Gotmadskillzson @ 12/28/11 11:15 AM

In a way it is free advertising, but it is the sign of the times. Way too many people use Twitter and Facebook. From a business stand point, it is more cost effective and QUICKER.

You pay for a commercial and it MIGHT air twice in one hour. Unless you a major sponsor then it will air 5 or 6 times per an hour.

However you put something on Facebook and Twitter, it will get shared by 10s of thousands per a minute and it will happen 24/7.

Yeah, they are asking me to advertize for them so that I can unlock something that's already on the $60 game that I just purchased. As for the second sentence, I was using an example from other games.

I know that social media sites are the cheapest ways to advertize anything; I use some of the same methods for the choir that I sing in. However, I don't require people to do extra work so that they can hear an exclusive piece of music, or so that they can sit closer to the front and center of the auditorium. That's the main problem that I have with this mess.

It is also not "a few people [that think its] spamming." Every other message from a number of people talks about the game their playing and how they "need my help." If that's not spamming, I don't know what is.

Every major media company does promotions like "Like this page and see an exclusive clip from The Office" or "Tweet #American Idol and see an exclusive video". Its called marketing. If you want the video, you do it. If you don't, you don't have too. It cost you nothing and no one is forcing you to do it.

No matter how you try to spin it...its not spamming. The message about UFC Undisputed appears once. Once. Anyway, its just a strange thing to complain about in my opinion. I'm just happy they were able to get Overeem in the game. The game goes gold in a few weeks, it takes 8 weeks to create each fighter and he signed to the UFC in October. There was a good chance he wasn't going to be in the game or would've been DLC.

If that means I have to press one button and type in my email address just to get him, I'm glad to do it.
