sournale presents
all right let me cut to the chase so you've seen those ads from time to time across YouTube where
it's this mobile game that uh what since at least 2019. these kind of ads have been plaguing the
YouTube scene like a lot typically a lot of these ads tend to revolve around grinding for
hours and hours or some kind of adult oriented content despite it looking like a kids game but
while millions of people have seen these ads promoting the game I doubt very many
of you have actually played them so I did some digging for a day straight I watched
a bunch of YouTube videos like I always do but this time would be taking notes of a mobile ad
I spotted and would install it I've actually done this twice before as you can guess from
the title there isn't any crucial intense lore that you'll miss out on if you don't watch the
two previous Parts but if you like the video uh well go watch them but without further Ado
it's time to go back into the rabbit hole and actually see what these weird ad games
do they actually play good is the gameplay similar to the ones shown in the ad time to find out
so here's one ad I found called toilet Rush draw the toilet looking at the advertisement they're
using a tactic like a lot of other mobile games do where they fail super easy puzzles but honestly
that shouldn't be my first thought instead my first thought is what the hell is toilet rush
I would soon search it up on the App Store and was delightfully disgusted to see that there was about
four other games relating to this but the one we'll be playing is draw the toilet there are only
two reviews in this game with one saying review very fun and tempting and the others saying so sus
this is a normal game but the loading screen looks like he is like doing whatever I can't
pay my taxes because I crossed my government and now we've begun the game and hang on what on Earth
is this thing if we look back to the promos you can see that the game is about a boy and a girl
trying to take a massive dump and while the girl is still a girl the boy is now a walking
hand wait how do hands poop what but yeah you can probably imagine what the game is like you
have to draw a line to each character to go to the toilet but if you end up intersecting them
they'll just fight each other oh and look at this I got another toilet Rush game or
something similar to anyways and what on Earth is this ad yeah I should probably also mention that
every time I complete a level which takes about 10 seconds there's an 80 chance that an ad will pop
up the ads themselves are not intrinsically the problem it's the quantity of them that
makes it annoying but it's okay guys because I eventually got myself a brand new skin which is
wow eventually in later levels there's this door right here I have no idea what this can imply
and I'm not going to theorize what it means and yeah that's pretty much the entire game there's
literally nothing else to this it's just drawing lines and pooping looking at the ratings it has a
4.9 with 117 ratings in total and the description reads have you ever been in a rush to path to
toilet but got in trouble on the way how would you deal with that case playing toilet race draw to
toilet will help you have interesting experience I don't know what to say to that anyways I've
talked about this game for longer than I should have so I'm just gonna move to the next game now
I didn't end up fighting this ad on YouTube but instead on the toilet Rush game it's called royal
batch and I'm sure you've heard of it because according to the App Store it is the number one
casual game with over 1 million ratings scrolling down to the description it reads King Robert needs
your help to restore Royal Castle's former glory break the obstacles and combine amazing power-ups
to beat it's just match three that's it there's no other way to put it it's just match three now
I'm not really sure how a game like this ended up being the number one casual game on the App Store
actually no I do know it's addicting as hell I mean just look at all of these colors you don't
even know what's really happening half the time as half the obstacles randomly disappear but you
don't need to it's fun to look at your brain says there are a few gimmicks to this game to
make the gameplay that more engaging at around level 4 instead of destroying boxes you're now
destroying the grass this is literally the game telling you that you need to stay inside and never
go anywhere near grass ever again a message in plain sight and speaking of boxes that's mostly
what the objective is destroy these random boxes that I guess are obstacles to your Castle I mean
there wasn't even a castle there to begin with by breaking a few boxes using shiny colors and
bombs you can get enough money AKA just one star to to build an entire freaking castle and the
rest of the game is just you building onto the castle adding fountains and other decorations
this is all the game has to offer looking at the reviews for some reason they're all in paragraphs
so I won't read that but the head titles say stuff like Not What It Seems has some issues
long time player here how but yeah I don't really have much else to say about this game
it's just match three and that's it I don't recommend playing this because you might end
up like a vegetable about 10 minutes into the game so overall let's move on to the next game
here's another ad that I found called Rob Master 3D and uh here's what the advertisement looks like
all right let's do the Iced Out wrist watch now real ice wow doesn't that make you want
to play this game this is definitely me when I'm in the hood Can you steal the valuable
items without getting caught by the police use your deaf skills to be rich and famous I think
this review right here just sums up my experience of this game 60 nonsense and 40 equally silly ads
as you've read from the title The goal of this game is to just Rob and it's pretty much just a
level Montage of you committing very scary crimes you do stuff like steel shoes break into cars and
check if diamonds are fake I guess yeah so I got pretty lost in playing this and it didn't
help that every single time I completed three levels again at about whatever this is but hey
you can gamble in this game so I guess it's all fine I mean look at this on level 6 you
for some reason shoot random objects with cash but look outside your house where the hell are
we I literally don't even know what else to say about this game because it's just so strange and
also boring all you do in this game is just tap maybe three times on random stuff and then I just
get bombarded with shiny cash money and also these characters have really poor vision like
seriously the thing is that this game isn't even that terrible but like I said it's just really
boring as there's barely any game input you do so yeah I'll be uninstalling this game now
the fourth game I'll be playing is Bridge race which is once again another generic
mobile cash grab in the advertisement that I watched the ad simply was just
gameplay and nothing else well then I'm sold construct a bridge
the description says best racing game ever with approximately 250 million downloads
what before even playing the game however I want to show you what all these reviews have to say and
they are not happy ads and glitches needs a lot of improvement unplayable poor update makes my phone
freeze there was even a five-star rating that was only 5 stars to make it be seen so you can
probably already tell that this is in fact going to be best racing game ever so what exactly is it
this is it yeah one thing I found very interesting about the game is the fact that there's opponents
now the game advertises this as a multiplayer game saying stuff like compete with others and
what have you but that's not true they are actually just Bots and remember how I said
in toilet Rush how there were lots of ads well there weren't a lot of pop-up ads here but it
certainly had a lot of micro transactions it also had a lot of mechanics where you can get
items by watching ads stuff like click the add to slow down enemies click the add to get a new
skin click the ad to make your parents come back oh wait now as you're seeing from the gameplay
it seems to be just collecting blocks to make stairs and win random virtual coins but that's
not all this game has to offer you can build tiny castles if you want or you can just click an ad to
skip the entire process man I do love being cuddled by ads to skip gameplay oh and also
you can multiply your blocks too so the game is no longer challenging even to a
six-year-old because all you have to do is just go through the sign and you instantly
win the game no competition required which was kind of the only cool thing about this
game but hey you could just go play going balls if you wanted to so cool eventually I got bored
of this game after about five minutes and quit my gaming session trust me though you're not
missing out on anything so is this best racing game ever probably not I'll be heading out now
okay so I didn't actually find this via NAD but on a normal YouTube video even
though it wasn't an ad there was no way I could make this video without playing this
you wow so intriguing what will she do time to find out wait a minute the age rating is four
plus Hello read in the description on my story welcome to my story Mansion Makeover where all
your dreams come true embark on an exciting adventure and protect your mansions and kitty
from being taken away by villains wait are these guys the villains but whatever let's just get
into the gameplay of this shall we basically my story starts off with a story alright epic
and basically it's just this random girl that has a lot of bad stuff happened to her today
but it all comes to a peak When someone tells her that her aunt died but it's okay because
she left behind her rich Mansion for you this is for rich people however oh no's the Mansion
is poofy and stinky better clean this place up how you may ask Candy Crush again I wonder if
I remember this from somewhere else okay but no oh this game is literally just Royal match
and Royal match is literally just Candy Crush there's nothing original here in the gameplay
it's just another Bland's Momo game for the Elder to look at and what the hell does the
ad have anything to do with this game there is no scene similar to this it's just cleaning up
this smelly Mansion looking at the ratings it somehow has over 68 000 that runs up to a 4.9
that is the highest rated game I've ever seen by far I mean I guess it isn't technically terrible
it functions and has a story but the gameplay is just copy and pasted from every other Candy Crush
game I also love how if you get stuck on these puzzles the game just straight up tells you what
to click on five seconds later there's not even any challenge for you in this game since it just
shows you where to click anyways I have nothing else to say about this game time to move on now
and another game I'll be playing is Project makeover a game where
you let your inner Queen out and make random peasants look beautiful I guess but before
even playing the game we have to see what this is advertising to begin with friends
okay uh well then looking down into the description project makeover States give
desperately needed makeovers to help people achieve their dreams choose highly fashionable
clothes hairstyles makeup and even Furniture wait like you're going to wear a couch I'm
already confused so I might as well just play the game oh and look we have a story to go off
of we are a part of a super cool beauty team but our director makes people feel
ugly and now I guess I'm the director cool
I'm sorry girl even I Retta vondetta International makeover expert cannot fake your disaster you are
ugly for life that's enough grata this show is about helping people we found a new director
hmm what kind of name is that that's not avant-garde
okay but now we're in the game and look at this downtrend pleb peasant here that we need to make
up how do we do that oh no you have to be joking it's match three again why why match three how
does that help us in the slightest with makeup you don't see a barber playing Match 3 to get your
hair done oh wait my bad guys there was also match four very epic anyways when you're not playing
Candy Crush again to fix people's appearances you're given options on how to make them pretty
but yeah there's nothing else to be said with this the gameplay is just match three and maybe
four uh it doesn't really seem to matter though if the gameplay is crap because this game has 593
000 ratings with a 4.4 and some of the reviews say things like super fun games with great
updates really fun could be better two weeks playing this one is just called project makeover
huh so yeah it's now time to move on
before I end the video I would like to give a few more honorable mentions to games I didn't
want to talk about for two minutes there's the Run of life where if you watch Netflix
you die and first to life a 17 plus year old game that is somehow 1.4 gigabytes
I know you're scrolling okay Miss try to be nice hashtag small you may need to see some sunlight I
don't know now I don't plan on playing any more of these so we can now go on to the conclusion
that would end up being the last game I played for today so what have we learned uh not much actually
these mobile games were about as soulless and predictable as I predicted and wasn't expecting
much out of these seriously though why the hell are all these games allowed to exist I've even
got comments on my last mobile video that they saw these ads in my video as well these are parasites
to everyone to YouTube advertisers consumers kids adults people who can't afford a PC or console
I doubt that anyone actually enjoys these games and the people that do play these cash grabs are
at the very least addictive it's Shady business practices that are clear as day that harm everyone
well I guess I can't really complain I've harvested a lot of success making
fun of these entities wait a minute that's shady too okay to end today's lesson don't
trust anyone these ads are fake these games they're not real and I am Just
an Illusion the world is getting worse and worse and mobile ad games are one
of the many branches that fuel our eventual demise thank you for listening now go away
all right all right this is the outro um thank you for watching
um follow me at um sournale.com on Instagram I'll just actually send save you what it is
