Bethesda plans to release their upcoming roleplaying game Fallout: New Vegas in Japan, and to sell it they are using a group photo of angry protesters in what is probably one of the funniest ad campaigns in a long time. Take a look at the advertisement and translations below, courtesey of Andriasang.

Says one, "A game where you just follow the scenario is like living life on rails."

Another: "What's the point of playing again if there's no change to the story."

The girl to the left: "When did games become something that you watch?"

The tall one in back: "I think it would be nice if the main character had a mission aside from just wiping out evil."

Suggests the one sitting in front: "The world has been prepared. After that, you're free to do as you please!"
