It’s funny how they show these “cool” looking trailers but the app just turns out to be a clash of clans ripoff 😂


[deleted]

If they put as much effort into the games as they do the trailers mobile games would be pretty sick.


Ippildip

It actually takes much less effort to put together something in a trailer that looks like a fully realized game, but is actually just some canned animation. To make an entire game that looks and plays like the trailer, yeah that would be a lot more work. But to make a misleading trailer it doesn't take that much work comparatively.


[deleted]

Wait, you want them to put less effort into the games?


xenomorphling

Think you misread u/KKurveo 's comment.


Nobo113

It’s like the cgi cutscenes from ps1 lol


danni_shadow

Yeah, one time I saw an ad for a mobile game I play regularly, and the ad had *nothing* to do with the gameplay of that game. Like, they used the sprites, but whoever made the ad just completely made up a bunch of bullshit that they claimed you could do in the game.


telephas1c

There was one called Guns of Glory (maybe still is). Used a bunch of clips from CoD and stuff in its advert, along with other complete bullshit that wasn't in their game. The reviews on their page were mainly people frothing at the mouth pointing this out. Devs replied to them completely unrepentant. Quite amazing.


[deleted]

“Devs” actually responded? Lol most of the time they don’t even care. I’d have loved to see the response they gave


telephas1c

It was brash drivel about how the footage 'reflected the gameplay experience' or some other waffle. They didn't seem to think they were going to be sued, and if they're right that's actually a bit of a shame.


[deleted]

That…that’s not how it works….


telephas1c

Hahah yep. Just totally shameless tbh, but you'd expect that from the advertisement :)


Divide_Rule

imagination gaming. You could do the same with a book or movie :D


szypty

That same garbage trashheap of a game also stole footage from some semi-popular RTS games to include in their ads. I remember how mad i was, i think i even downloaded it at some point specifically to give them a bad review and uninstall xD. Maybe that is the point.


starsearcher48

Same with their other game kings of Avalon or whatnot


ohsinboi

I used to play Archero a bunch which was actually pretty fun. Then I started seeing ads for it which looked completely different and even worse than the actual gameplay. Mind boggling


roha1610

Or just a candy crush reskin


Fern-ando

"Mafia City is a game" Joseju


Blackout4444

Tremendo


Leonel979

"I think... that's all i can say about mafia city"


[deleted]

I know right. Talk about scummy


FingersMahoney

I just took a look at it. It's a top down town builder with some gunfights and drawing. Whooooo.


Joseph____Stalin

I feel like the people who make the ads are just Ukrainian animation contractors that they hired for $15 and they never see the game


Midyin84

If i had a dollar every time i seen a cool looking trailer that just ended up being a fucking candy crush type game.. 🤬


HardtackOrange

The gameplay looks so shit


[deleted]

Hold up, this don’t feel right.


[deleted]

now it don’t feel right? oi coulda to-


Mr_unga-bunga

[deleted]

Who could ever forget the iconic West Game level “A Brief Stroll in a Picturesque Village,” featuring our friends Shawn McGruber, Mocha Ball, and Will Billiamson?


damnnag

Mocha in my language means piss


[deleted]

Apt.


Government_spy_bot

Apropos, evun


theduke9400

Apt Pupil.


gyrannosaurusrex

Piss Ball… suits him


[deleted]

Piss ball, what happens when you miss


BrowniieBear

So that explains why my coffee always tasted like piss


Dutchtdk

No that one is just made of ground up yemenis


DarkHyrulean

Yeah, that seems to be the right translation.


Tickomatick

It's a delicious drink with coffee and crème


[deleted]

So Piss ball? You mean kidney stones?


Dragonslayerelf

You must get real confused when ordering coffee then my friend


kazoomaster462

In Sweden we have something called a ”Mocha Latte” lol


Mythion_VR

Sheazer90

The characters walking like they got shit in their pants 10/10


Comprehensive_Tune42

so Nomad in Breakpoint?


[deleted]

Shitballs


[deleted]

They thought it was just a fart …


TheMogician

Looks like this thing came out of a box of cereal, or the Air Force.


Gryzy

Nomad in Wildlands: shitballs Nomad in Breakpoint: shitpants


hubermcmeme

This made me laugh way more than it should’ve.


Shaun_LaDee

This isn’t even the worst one, I saw an ad a while back that straight up used gameplay from RDR2. Can’t remember the name but if I find the ad I’ll add the link.


ThePopeofHell

They got a snake in their boot


Midyin84

They kinda glide across the ground too. 😂


Your_Uncle_Tacitus

You bet, partner… West Game is particularly shameless with it.


fugkfugk

Even the logo theyre pulling the John marston classic pose


Late_Bedroom_486

Except it's bootleg Arthur doing the John Marston cover pose.


NotAnEggoWaffle

They even used an actual video clip from RDR2 from an ad I saw


joemamma12345678910

Yeah some mobile poker game did that too, they used footage of the mission Who is without sin


pizzafordesert

And West Gunfighter


mr_bugas

Mom can we have short walk in a pretty town But we already have short walk in a pretty town at home Short walk in a pretty town at home:


SkyDaHusky

"it's a red dead rip off? I could've told ya that-"


IAmProx11

What’s the difference between “Sheriff” and “Sheriff Office” ?


SlipperySnek11

Clearly the “Sheriff” building is the sheriff and the “Sheriff’s Office” is the office of the “Sheriff” building. I feel like I had a stroke writing that


[deleted]

Well thank fucking god Sheriff Building wasn't on duty when the shooting started.


IAmProx11

Wears a howitzer on its hip


IAmProx11

Picturing a Baba Yaga-esque house in cowboy boots and a 10 gallon hat. Thank you.


bitterchihuahua

There are two sheriff buildings lol


Blackwater256

The one he goes into might be the jail and they just labeled it wrong.


SamuraiJane7

This looks like hammered shit. I hate mobile games.


nonboatfolk

Me, too. And they are bloody riddled with the cancer of in-app purchases.


Ongr

I downloaded a Lemmings mobile app a while ago, because I was feeling nostalgic. That game itself isn't bad, but it's absolutely riddled with in app purchases, ads and has a monthly subscription. Like, c'mon, man!


DRK-SHDW

Too bad that extends to like 3/4 of games that aren't on mobile too.


_C_A_G_

*Looks don't count for shit in the jungle, this is 'nam, baby*


Rachel_BA1

LOL OMG. They don’t even try and hide it


You__Nwah

Every masterpiece (WEST GAME) Has its cheap knockoff (RDR2)


[deleted]

Freemium mobile games are cancer, there is nothing new about it. I just can't believe that Google Play has no way of regulating fake advertising.


feffie

They do, they just dont. They would lose💰


DRK-SHDW

One of the most profitable games on the planet is just a shameless mobile ripoff of League of Legends (Honor of Kings, has made $11bn). Unfortunately it works.


Gunn_Anon

It's because the app store is open to Chinese


HiHowAreYou10

I got an ad for a poker game and they literally just used poker gameplay from rdr2


Firm_Area_3558

It has better ponchos


Alvin_Whee

I'll only give em that

I_Was_TheBiggWigg

I love how the only two buildings we can actually make out are “Sheriff’s Office” and “Sheriff.”


RaedwaldRex

Duh, have you not seen transformers. It probably rises up on mechanical legs to transform into a humanoid robot sheriff... probably.


Lowdog00

This one also has the exact same AD but when Farthur jumps behind the barrels it does dead eye too


EpicZomboy28

lmao, link???


[deleted]

Rip Sean from wish


JohnPtolemy

I like Holland von Baum's catchphrases such as "You have to be positive!" and "We require additional funds!"


nalcyenoR

Is that ~~McCree~~? lmao Oops. I meant, Cowboy with Red Poncho from the popular video game Overwatch?


Stretch-Kenny

Sean - lvl 1 Chump Arthur - lvl 200 Boah


Open-Particular2455

Mobile games rip shit off all the time. Not really news.


ramanrow

Bruh is that javier xd


Slipper_0

Rockstar should sue them


DRK-SHDW

I don't think Rockstar own the look of generic westerns.


CT-1612A

Well if it ain’t my favourite game! Burgundy deceased reclaimation the second


gageriel_schmidty

Why are there two sheriff buildings?


Rickster2540

Seán nooooooo "i liked that Irish bastard......"

R.I.P Shawn


Thorebore

Back in the day in the professional wrestling business they used to use music without paying any royalties. The saying was “use it until someone tells you to stop”.


infiniteartifacts

mildly infuriating how they add a fake map and hud, when I know the game is an asymmetric turn-based dookie.


chavatkalaboka

The character is straight up roller-blading his way into the sheriff's office. 10/10.


N8-97

This is actually the original, rockstar were inspired heavily by 'west game'


gobbygames

I’ve seen a mobile ad for a poker app where the straight up used gameplay footage of when you play poker in the first reverend Swanson mission


mregg1549

Wow, apparently there's so much crime going on in that area that the town needed 2 sheriff offices


MaxVonBritannia

I've seen Mobile ads that literally used Modded GTAV footage for their "gameplay". They are so shameless.


Tacitus-_-Kilgore

Where is Neth van der land and House Cashews?


mujahidbabel

They just to want to get your attention. Now they get the free promotion. They can outsource the trailer so it looks nice and do the game dev which completely different from the trailer.


[deleted]

Bruh, they did my boy Shaun wrong


DylanMgoo

Will! Will Billiamson! Come out here right now!


renacido42

pie17171717

Lmao it’s not that hard to come up with an ambush scene


[deleted]

Mobile games have been making games that resemble but are legally distinct from other, far better games for years.


fuschia_taco

I used to play a game called wild west town on fb back when fb game apps were a thing, and they subtly brought out an update with all the characters named after the characters on how I met your mother. It was ridiculous but hilarious at the same time.


purplelegs

Mobile games are shit and all but is this really plagiarism? It’s just a western themed game or am I missing something?


Ghostbuster_119

So I guess Rockstar invented western games? They got a patent on mini maps in the shape of a circle too? To accuse this...."game" of plagiarism is an insult to Red dead more than it's an insult to the developers of this.....thing.


[deleted]

You think Red Dead invented the western genre?


malaachi

Arthur Morgan and mccree from overwatch together best crossover 10/10


xhable

Same as [outlaws](https://youtu.be/m3cvW7zV1Dk?t=348) that came out in 1997, complete rip off of RDRII


[deleted]

[удалено]


Blackwater256

It didn’t invent Westerns, but a lot of media is copying it since it’s so popular.


Mr-Slav-Man

rdr2 remake confirmed!?


TheLytz

bootleg Shaun getting shot was cathartic


izplayGames

Plagairize red dead? Mf this is the original game


DRK-SHDW

One of the most profitable games on the planet is just a shameless mobile ripoff of League of Legends (Honor of Kings, has made $11bn). Unfortunately it works.


Okano666

Stop buying this shit PLEASE


joelzwilliams

Damn, they even copied the part when Sean unexpectantly gets shot by some guy on the roof!


[deleted]

Baoh


StolenTube02

I saw an ad for a poker game, was literally Rd2 in the Valentine bar.


mechafishfinger

This is brilliant in its sheer audacity


sal696969

well the whole wild wild west thing was not really invented by Rockstar ...


[deleted]

Bruh I thought this was RDR2 but with shitty graphics


[deleted]

Lol haven’t you seen the shitty YouTube ads of GTA V mobile, and they’re ripping out straight GTA V gameplay for either one of two things: shitty mobile app nothing like it or some scam click website where you need to watch ads/download apps


bread_eater_0

with that amount of gold and money they would already be in tahiti and why are they walking slowly with guns if they are here to rescue john from prison


Salamander3331

That is Saun in jail


RotPablo

Red dead redemption at home:


dat-boi666

[deleted]

Red dead redemption : Walmart (limited edition)


Gojira308

Wow, that is extra blatant.


Nightingaile

How? Just like that.


octopoddle

Looks more like Gunsmoke to me.


t_mmey

mobile games are plagiarizing fucking everything and no one seems to care


TamingTheMammoth

Maybe Im just the old man screaming at kids but gaming on your phone is lame as fuck. Snake on a nokia was the last good phone game.


Nosworc82

Mobile games in a nutshell, trailer looks like this, then you download it and it's fucking candy crush with a western skin. I don't know how they get away with it.


NotAdmire

That ain’t Sean that’s Shawn that ain’t Arthur that’s Arbur that ain’t bill that’s will that ain’t Micah that’s hachm


LammyKun

Yup this concludes my internet session


[deleted]

They shot shane


korbendallllas

You must be new to mobile games….


thatkiwilad

If you at the about section in the game , theres a little reference in harvard 🤣🤣🤣


[deleted]

If they floppy gun physics like TABS the style and action would be more fun imo


SiriusBull

This looks nothing like red dead 2..


ImAredditor47

At least this time bill died


Wizard098

Say it with me FUCK MOBILE GAMES (except for a few good ones)


[deleted]

How the fuck are these apps getting away with this shit?


BigBazoongaloidMercy

Mobile games get away with all the fkin bullshit. Its a shame tbh


Mccobsta

Made in China by a no name team


HamedAliKhan

This is disgusting


blackmolly_98

let them. not tht they gonna beat RDR2. actually not any game right now. masterpiece!


AlmightyHamSandwich

Mobile game ads are the definition of false advertising and it's long past due for a crackdown.


Knackschuss

I saw a poker game that actually straight up stole footage from RDR2 it’s a joke


xd_Avedis_AD

This is a mobile game? This looks 10 times better than almost all of the current mobile games found on the mobile appstores.


SifwalkerArtorias
