10 More Embarrassing Product Placements In Video Games

10. Diesel - Devil May Cry 2

Devil May Cry 2 is nobody’s favourite DMC game and let’s not pretend otherwise. It’s more likely that the DmC: Devil May Cry 2013 reboot has more fans than Devil May Cry 2 at this point, which feels like a bizarre thing to say considering DmC 2013's initial announcement had fans frothing at the mouth with rage over its protagonist's haircut.

A small part of the fanbase's apathy towards Devil May Cry 2 might have something to do with the reward, if you can call it that, for beating the game.

After making your way through DMC 2 as Dante on Normal mode and saving your data, you will immediately be hit with a full-screen advertisement for the Diesel clothing brand. There's no buffer here. You beat the last level, credits roll, and then BAM - buy some Diesel clothes, you fashion-oblivious nerd.

Both protagonists Dante and Lucia have Diesel-branded outfits you can unlock by beating the game with them, which is the justification for why these adverts are in the game in the first place. A clothing advert probably wasn't the cherry on top that DMC mega-fans were looking for at the conclusion of the disappointing sequel though.
