This is amazing, I was thinking the same thing. The gardenscape adds are absolutely insane. Get the puzzle right, or the parent of a child just dies.

[@Crow_Smith]

They made those ads for Homescapes too and it's like "I know the game isn't that drama filled but please show the real game play" there are enough decent stories that they could make similarly Scandalous ads without lying. Like making the radio station, have an ad about "One day the music stopped" and show everyone being sad/freaked out about it and then boom, they come together and fix it with Austin [and the user]'s help! Show the "The original owner died sad and alone after abandoning this house" and then like the "Oh he was this famous puzzle guy/artist!" and then show when the different traps trigger and trap dad and be like "Can you save William?!" Or HELL even start with Austin getting a call from his parents, show the house in it's Hay Day and then do that "show up and lower the picture and OH NO!" crap which is the story that starts the entire game! There are so many elements it already has that to use their sweet characters like that and make Katherine a single mom of some random kid that is thrown out by various men, including Austin [the dude that would literally do anything for her] is so annoying.

[@rendratvandonkereschrijver2912]

don't forget Lilly's Garden whose add play like jersey shore-esc realty TV show

[@AvoidTheCadaver]

I got so sock of those ads that when you get option to try the puzzle I do what Gray does and deliberately try to murder them. Or that Kings one. I started enjoying watching him drown. I need help

[@connorsteffan8958]

Gardenscapes was released on the 3ds

[@williamsistrunk504]

@connorsteffan8958 Yes, and? That doesn't change its ad on mobile being mental

[@RAW_Reality]

15:31 The sad thing about this statement is that all Gray's done to this point is the tutorial. After you finish it, a very small % of the game is "like the ads', and abundantly turns into an absolute cash grab.

[@dragonmaster1360]

I've noticed a LOT of games have been doing that... Basically making a "shell game" to cover up the real game, a game within a game.

[@christopherrogers532]

@@dragonmaster1360 What's funny is your average programmer could likely go above these shell games with ease accidentally, nevermind intentionally. :)

[@KNR90]

That's the idea. You got the download which means you now can sell their info. The other half of your income is based on kids with credit cards

[@beez1717]

The worst part about this practice is that it's causing gamers to be willing to switch games as soon as things get challenging due to the fact the "shell game" is designed to be extremely easy and give you a rush of dopamine. It's gotten so bad that a large amount of games have a super easy mode or give you a way to win if you fail too much. For example, I remember when Mario would give you difficult levels you needed to beat to continue. Now Nintendo lets you skip a level if you died too many times on it. It makes it so players give up when something isn't easy.

[@TheEndOfHatsuneMiku]

the sad part is that that's eventually that level is the game

[@Sin_Shadow_Fox]

That last game, Hero Rescue, was explicitly made in response to lying ads. The levels get pretty complex late game and there are even different game modes.

[@kitishy]

Yep. It's not that bad for a quick distraction. I have ADHD and I'll play that while turning a problem over in my head.

[@bigogre7186]

Now we're just waiting for Alex to incorporate level 2 from Race Master into GTA so Gray can delve further into insanity😂

[@theplaystationimmortal8805]

We can only hope

[@michaelclark2272]

I actually play Race Master a lot and yeah there's like infinite levels but of course Gray's luck strikes again and he breaks the game after the first level 😂 Spoiler Alert: The only thing that is different between the ad and the real game is probably the airplane...I haven't encountered that yet at least I honestly think Gray should try this game again because it's actually quite fun for a mobile game

[@therunawaykid6523]

One of the few games I’ve downloaded on my iPad that actually looks as good as the ads is surprisingly called car park simulator 2 multiplayer which is actually more interesting than the title suggests the graphics are really impressive, it has multiplayer and you unlock more and more cars over time. It even lets your character get out of the car and run around and has an in car viewpoint - it’s pretty authentic from what I’ve played so far, most of the time the game looks seriously downgraded from what the ad shows or from the images for it on the App Store

[@DemonicAkumi]

This is something I would watch as a weekly thing. There were a few channels that would every so often do things like this, but they seem to have stopped. Would really like to see the whole "Expectation Vs Reality" of these games without having to actually get a phone, download the game, and seeing it. Plus, Grey's commentary would make it better.

[@RetroFanatic-Trapster2]

Ah. Games that blew most of their budget (if any) on the ads. 5:08 - Ngl, wish I was blind now.

THIS is the start of a new series. I definitely want more of this. LOL. You always see these game ads and wonder what they actually are, and I value my phone too much to download them myself. So I'm glad Gray has stepped up for us. And of course his commentary is 100% golden.

[@myah528]

Awarding the ape one a 9.5 is diabolical considering how different the graphics are during gameplay compared to the ad - or even compared to the cut scenes!

[@Kruzeking481]

11:17 was the point he lost it 😂😂😂

[@annawehmeyer]

This one was a lot of fun. You really chose some good games to try. The doctor one looked like it was nothing but ads though and it's sad the monkey one didn't take place in a big city and stuff like it's ad. Maybe that's later in the game? Either way, keep up the good work. 👍

Gray is living proof of the stereotype that americans will measure with *anything* except the metric system. (4:12)

[@DETHdressedInRED]

8:50 true story: one time I was over at my friend's house having a few drinks and I was fairly intoxicated. His other friend brought a dog over that loved everyone except me and the guy who owned the dog said ah yeah he's nice he just growls because he dunno you try just pet him gently and he'll get used to you so I started petting him and I got a little closer and the dog growled and jumped at me and bit me in the face right on my mouth. Had 2 cuts in my upper lip and one in my lower lip and my blood was thin so it was just gushing. Got to the hospital they looked at it, cleaned it with some antiseptic wipes, waited for it to stop bleeding, and told me I'm good to leave. I asked them to stitch it up but they said no because my blood was too thin and they can't do stitches. So they walk me over to the thing to pay for my visit, they wouldn't accept my insurance, and the bill was $1800.70. I didn't even get a bandaid. All they did was wipe my face off with a Walmart brand sterile wipe and leave me sitting there for 20 minutes. I refused to pay and walked out after getting all the documents to show what happened and disputed it later and won.

3:30 classic mobile game, it's especially bad with Japanese games when you see the cool and intricate character designs and then ingame these are limited to status screens with the character being deformed chibis everywhere else. Arknights is one of the worst offenders and tbh it's one of the main reasons I will never play that game.

[@alexisdipoalo9443]

i kinda want this to be a ongoing series, as i sometimes i wanna try them but knowing how often there nothing like the Ads, i never do. this would be both fun to watch and help me decide which ones are actually worth downloading

[@jeffreywijaranakula4059]

Do more of these! I really like this idea.

[@zh84]

Thank you for giving us a look at Hero Wars. I've been pestered by those advertisements for months. If you don't even have to PLAY the game, just sit and watch, it's even worse than I imagined!

13:02 Don't most games need access to photo to save screenshots and downloading pictures of your achievements and stuff? I've seen a lot that need it so I don't know 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@cam0452]

I have the game. It’s becomes a base builder a bit after Grey finishes. It’s for your pfp. It also has voice to text

[@WabbitRB]

With Last War, I have played it. You REALLY have to play further into the game... then it starts being NOTHING like the ad! You didn't even get into the base building part, which is the main gameplay. Then you get the world, etc. It's basically a wash and repeat of every other game.

[@docette2015]

I'm into this being a semi-regular thing on the channel! Comparing mobile games to their ads is definitely a thing we should be doing, for the LOLs. Though apparently you might need to play through a bit more of these games to make sure they're truly what they say on the tin. . .

[@LeoBaines]

[@stickgamerPx1gamer]

True some ads are saying that the game is very realistic and cool and they're even saying that it has many features but when you play it its just a low graphics and a low quality game

[@TheGamingTurret]

I am 100% in the camp of ' grey should make this a series' but only if it stays true to the spirit of things. Like we all know mobile games. So the goal of the series will be to see how they compare to their adds.

*Day 74 of asking... Challenge for Gray: Try and complete a challenge with no checkpoints that take 2 hours to complete. The twist is that the board disappears after you touch it, and in order to reset it, you need to restart the board (before anyone complains... Yes, there will be parts of the board where Gray can have a break, and yes, there will be a teleporter at the end, where Gray has 2 chances to get the correct road path correct (Which won't despawn) if he fails at getting the correct path correct then he just need to restart the map. AND... yes, it is possible, and what I mean by two hours is that no matter what difficult board he plays, would probably take 2 hours, but Alex just edits out most of it, so it's suitable for a short yet entertaining clip) Yes, there will be a 10 second timer before the board slowly disappears and there will be parts of the board that won't disappear and there will be a script at the end where it teleports Gray to the beginning and resets the board, and there'll be 3 teleporters, he'll have to guess correctly, one crashes his game, one forces his game to force restart, and the final teleporter gets him the win*
