Dunkie’s review is hilarious

If that's a review our terminology is getting a little... Loose

Kedly,

I mean, the key part of that sentence was Dunkey. Its kind of funny too because I now feel similar about Dunkey as I do Smith. They did that one persona REALLY WELL, but its just one persona, and eventually it gets old

Agreed, I used to really like Dunkey, then i watched his videos on Death Stranding after immensely enjoying the game myself and found them a little played up for content while painting the gameplay in a less than generous light.

That being said, I do realize it's a persona, and even his "reviews" are called dunkviews, and at times he does certainly have some nice insight, and he's funny for certain, I don't think he's a bad YouTuber or anything, but I hope people don't use his videos as purchasing advice like you might a true review

sleepmode,

I don’t disagree with either of you. But what do we call it? A riff track?

@all-knight-party@kbin.run avatar

I'm cool with dunkview, he calls it that for a reason. Some people will still use it as a review, like the original guy I commented to. It's a shame if someone treats it that seriously, but I don't think Dunkey is out there pretending to tell you the grand worth of games, it's, in my eyes, obviously enough comedy.

That being said, not even the zombie game video was called a dunkview, that was just... A video. So some people will use anything as a review, I suppose

I really feel like his whole life got ruined as soon as he became a scientologist.

Edit: I meant to say “his” not “this”

I’m going to assume that any game that a celebrity suddenly endorses out of nowhere is some low effort mobile thing that probably involves crypto.

    It’s the highest grossing media franchise of all time, what sort of question is this?

    Yeah it’s literally free marketing for them and they’re crushing the community.

    Ephera,

    It’s called a “rhetorical question”. Glad to be of help.

    The irony…

    Ephera,

    I am aware, yes.

    I’d be careful to read too much into this. If they wanted it to be successful, it would have been Raid: Shadow Legends or Genshin Impact level promoted, especially with $140M sunk in dev.

    This seems like they had no confidence in the finished product so they didn’t even bother to market it, just shat it out to app stores probably to meet contractual obligations and it will be gone soon.

    Either that or there is some behind the scenes nonsense happening preventing it from being marketed. Think something like Will Smith having it in his contract that it has to release and giving him 25% of sales, for example.

    But for something to cost that much and bomb that hard, it’s essentially impossible without them basically cutting their losses before launch and expecting it to fail. It’s the mobile game equivalent of the “lowest grossing movie”, basically something that was only released because it has to be, and not a true reflection of product quality. Like I’m sure it sucks, but is it THAT much worse than 99% of mobile trash? Probably not.

    Katana314,

    Any chance a lot of the money got funneled somewhere else and the actual game had some tiny budget?

    FippleStone,

    Definitely a non-zero chance, at the very least

    I would’ve loved a proper game using his I am Legend fame, but it seems like even publishers didn’t care about it.

    Hollywood has plenty of scientologists, it's wild.

    VirtualOdour,

    Kinda but numbers are way down, scientology is dying at the moment

    Lmfao the trailer doesn't even include any dialogue from Will Smith's character?! Imagine paying (I assume) millions of dollars to get an A-list Hollywood celebrity in your game and you don't even show them in your trailer!

    Mr_Dr_Oink,

    I watched a sunkey video for it, indont think there is any dialogue from will smiths character. Like they didnt bother to record it. There was one or two instances where he spoke, and it wasn’t will smith.

    FlyingSquid,
    @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

    Wait, so they just licensed Will Smith’s likeness?

    They couldn’t have just done a character that looks sort of like Will Smith?

    That’s what I thought it happened when I saw the dunkey video.

    Zahille7,

    He does sort of look like Will Smith.

    He looks like a Chinese Will Smith.

    Katana314,

    What would be cringingly terrible, but entirely possible, is if Will DID record lines for his character, but content pipeline faults/laziness or programming errors mean it doesn’t play ingame.

    I even feel like that same circumstance has happened before…

    Also never heard of this game before.

    The top user review on steam made it sound like awful pay to win gacha garbage though, so I’ll just move on.
