I've already ordered the game, but this paragraph from the PC Gamer review kinda makes me wish I hadn't:

Some will simply reject this game because it's hooked up to Massive's in-game ads system, where roadside billboards advertise real-world products. As I was playing before release, that tech wasn't hooked up. I worry that ads insensitive to the setting will break the spell.

That sounds like it will kill any immersion they're trying to achieve.

BRAKARA... LOSES...
