The ads are honestly some of the most horrendous things I've ever seen. The trailers for their upcoming contents are absolutely incredible looking in comparison. They should've just used the PVs made for their game instead to pull in new players from the start.
@@rezafebriansyah8620 mobile game ads are sadly getting worse everytime one is done, arknights is an amazing game, sadly these ads don't help showing that, who still remembers the colossatron ad? That was some good shit....
@@brunopagnoncelli975 it's really weird, all it takes was at least 5 years for something cool to flop like nowadays CGI, I mean in comparison game advertisements and CGI almost shared the same fate. I wonder why?
Arknights is the first gacha game that I've played for over a year and still plays it to this day. What got me into Arknights is a The Speed of light ad featuring penguin logistics, got addicted to the song and the visuals of the animation got me to download it
Ohh my God, same man. I joined at the start but the slow story drove me away. That ad and the song were so catchy that it made me search up the add and brought me back to this game, and I’m glad for that
A lot of the ads felt outsourced, which is weird considering Yostar Pictures could have used the PVs or EPs and just added small animations in between them. It probably makes sense from a staffing perspective so that more people could focus on the actual game, but I still think they could have done their down advertising.
@@kyarumomochi5146 I saw the ads and thought arknights was just another shitty chinese idle game cash grab using crappy "viral meme" ads, which you can argue that it kind of is, but at least the AK devs seem to actually care about the longevity of their game unlike 99% of other chinese mobile game devs. but nevertheless, way too late now.
@@DD-fs7pg honestly arknights is far from being the crappy quick cash grab game, the art, lore and world building go WAAAAYYY too hard, way harder than it needs to, the story is so good that it has it's own anime, the devs care a fuck ton for f2p players, the game is generous and i love the pity system, i mean the game is good, the ads are cringe af.....
This reminds me of the time that I would be discouraged to play Arknights because of the ads. Then, I heard 'Untitled World' and decided to look for content on the actual game. Been playing since August 2020, and still active as ever.
The feater one feels ok to me, it actually shows off that you can push enemies to death in this game which is quite unique and is ACTUAL FUN gameplay but also shows that you can fuck it up too.... The voice-over kinda kills me inside tho, not enough... emotion? Doesn't excuse all the other bad ones of course. Idk maybe it works for the youtube algorithm I guess.
The fact that i only started playing this game recently because they refuse to promote the gameplay AT ALL so i didn't know what to expect so i didn't even download it is insane to me, this only proves me right
You gotta give Arknights ads credit where credit is due: They get people talking about them, even if it is because of how... _"good"_ they are, haha. Cheers!
@@Stone15656 That's the secret tactic. If the Ads make everyone insane then the Sanity Potions have even more appeal. True deep science marketing, haha. Cheers!
Mobile ads love banking on misleading and controversy because that two factor is so easy to attract people, I mean look at ToF and Legend of neverland as good example of game advertise base on controversy.
Idk whats wrong with these CN game companies. Everytime they release a game in Global they always have these cringy ads. They look like a poor company that cant pay a decent director for their ads lol
i like the ads where they hired nice actors with quality cinematography, coz at least it's clear that they actually invest something in their advertisements. plus they seem to be funny self-aware satire lul
the ad that got me into the game was when i think the game first released, bc there were ads about the obsidian festival event, and the ad was like the ads "showing" recruitment, basically selecting random tags and the result was the summer skins for ops like gummy and shining. idk how i was interested, maybe i thought they just looked really pretty and i really liked them.
They spend hundred of thousands on the damn PVs, that are absolutely gorgeous, and they still have to goddamn hire a random as fuck marketing company to make absolute trash. Damn, the marketing budget is definitely higher than what they allocate to PVs with those views.
Not really Problem with PVs are they are 2d animated so you are basically giving false information since no one will be expecting a 2d chibi game instead Their budget isnt high its just dirt cheap to make ads like these
the ad for arknights that got my into arknights was just a little youtube 'try arknights today' text thingy. Probably played some ad which I skipped. you know the things the text with a link that shows up after an ad. don't remember seeing any actual ad so I probably skipped it, but was like what the hell, I got a phone with enough space, I'll give it a go. tried azur lane, Did not care for how it played on my phone. Actually think I was just scrolling down youtube on my phone and the ad was there, in text with a link. and thats what got me into arknights.
I feel like most gacha games ads that uses skits are weird. They're not exactly bad or good, and the skit is pretty funny. But they are definitely on the weird side. I think the "good" ads are probably the one where they use the trailers as the ads, like the code of brawl event ad(that ad got me to play arknights after all lol). Other gacha games that I know uses the trailers as ads are probably only Honkai and Genshin(although they have some weird skits too lol)
Been doing those recruitment things for ages and still I HAVE NO SEIGE! * 0 * Literally been waiting for her to be even summon able and there's no chance so far.
Ironically it's because I didn't saw any of these that I got into Arknights, it's because my gf was one day like "check out this game I found 2 days ago, it's so good" If I saw any of these, I probably wouldn't have trusted her when she said "it's so good" It's my favorite game now though, so yeah :p
well I got into arknights about 2 weeks ago and love it!. but...I have seen any Ads for Arknights like those on your vids. I did find about arknights from the music/music video they have of Arknights lol
these horrendous ads are the reason that discouraged me to play arknights for 2 years, the only reason I started playing Arknights is because of a video called "oh the misery but its arknights lore". it had a nice but dark artwork and decided to give the game a shot and goddamn the games good. edit: also I first knew arknights at the 3rd ad but I didnt want to play the game because of the many misleading ads I saw before it, I regret not playing the game earlier
Background: All people dead, sadness, girl character crying etc.. Music: Its a great day im feeling good oooh! The possibilities.... Most unfitting music ever and yet they Spam it. Makes me never touch the game even though i like tdish games from time to time
I got into Arknights because BTC, a youtuber, mentioned it a few times. If I watched any of these ads before hearing about AK from BTC, I wouldn't have given it a chance.
While most are outsourced the panda and corgi are inhouse since those employers also appear in Azur Lane streams from time to time (I assume AK too but I dont watch those).
My phone just got broken recently, and when I have my new phone, I can't log in into my gmail for a while cause I was outside. Also I've seen arknights ads it was hilarious. Like 5 ads in 1 night XD
Honestly the shitty early ads (mostly the live action ones) convinced me not to play Arknights. Ironic too since I did watch some of their later animated PV and their listened to their music (i.e. speed of light) which are actually pretty damn good, but now it's a little too late to get back in; already spent my time and money elsewhere.
Same I don't exactly understand any of 'em despite I'm almost 1 year, I just understand a bit of em like FEater pushed CS to abyss but FEater's S2 ad cringed me, that man is "Doctor can't read EN" example. Some ads are frickin doesn't make sense.

Honestly the best arknights ad is still the one featuring arknights memoir W with the were going up song.
I'm still glad they hired CDawgVA for an Arknights ad. At the least, they realized that they needed to get people that actually play the game
Connor's ad was pretty damn good, shame he quit the game though since he seemed to be rather passionate about the game.
@@psy__ why'd he quit?
@@secretscarlet8249 he just tired of gacha games in general I think
@@secretscarlet8249 he said its because he finished everything and got nothing anymore to do in game at that point
@@siinon I guess he didn't consider dead weeks and events then
8:25 "Patient is dying? Just use surtr" ngl i chuckle when i saw that comment XD
I like how in the last ad they even gave the patient that hardened skin trait in order to simulate "real" oripathy haha
These ads are like stock photos, any game can use them.
The ads are honestly some of the most horrendous things I've ever seen. The trailers for their upcoming contents are absolutely incredible looking in comparison. They should've just used the PVs made for their game instead to pull in new players from the start.
Funnily enough they actually have and still do. It's a weird mix of actually cool animations with awesome music and then utter garbage like this.
Im surprised these ads haven't killed the game by themselves
Thats how good the game is lmao
@@brandoncrz2228 Well this is the same for litterally all other gacha games like AL or genshin

If the ad team just showed snippets of the story (main,event, or SS). I can guarantee more people will be interested.

You cant expect people to come play your game because you showed some story stuff
Literally just cut clips from the music videos/pvs

If only they did that sooner. Watched some of the later videos and they would have definitely hooked me in when the game first came out.
Even the ads promote bullying crownslayer
Man Speed of Light ad was my first Arknights exposure. Downloaded the game, let it sit on my phone for months, fired it up, never stopped playing.

Arknights ads made by those who's low on sanity
Cheers
ADs maker: Sir. Can you give more budget we run out
Arknight: mhm yes Lore
Fun fact: the ads is for kid,for teen or adult they just feel cringe (sometime)
Then they just failed cuz kids this days can't play RTS properly
If you know went i was a kid i get baited for 3 time
What kind of child would wanna play AK?
Basically i wanna tried how hard is arknight and how easy to get 6 star
they really tryin to appeal to normal people
I actually wasn't aware of these terrible ads. I've always gotten the anime-like ads with great music on top
Idk whats wrong with these CN game companies. Everytime they release a game in Global they always have these cringy ads. They look like a poor company that cant pay a decent director for their ads lol
It's a mix of their humor and a misunderstanding of ours
i like the ads where they hired nice actors with quality cinematography, coz at least it's clear that they actually invest something in their advertisements. plus they seem to be funny self-aware satire lul
i went and shuffled the playlist, the first 3 i got were genuinely intriguing ads, the later 3 that i watched were 🤔”what did i just watch” ads

watched Prelude to Dawn and needed to get my fix, AK mobile filled the hole...i had never once seen an ad for this game up until this video.
I started Arknights because TH-cam algorithm showed me actual gameplay.
I never encountered with AK ads.
They spend hundred of thousands on the damn PVs, that are absolutely gorgeous, and they still have to goddamn hire a random as fuck marketing company to make absolute trash.

This is what will happen if they left the promotial ads making to 3rd party
Ngl Ad#3 with Fandom Games Voice
Convince me to return after the obsidian festival
God, the only ad for Arknights I ever got was the one they released when it first went global and got me to check out the game. These are terrible.

the only ads that make me play arknight are the penguin logistic event with "speed of light" song
ad 5 is the omly one that's good here. I wish the video included the 'life is beautiful' ad
Ad#5 was the one that got me into Arknights
2:00 a son teaching his father about recruitment… brought me to tears
man i cant believe he didnt see the ad with tim mcmorris
when the ads itself is reverse clickbait to the real gameplay
well I got into arknights about 2 weeks ago and love it!.
but...I have seen any Ads for Arknights like those on your vids.
I did find about arknights from the music/music video they have of Arknights lol
Ad#8 is the feeling of completing Contingency Contract without watching any guides.
The best ads were the anime and tectone for me.
Ad 5 at 4:03 actually convinced me to download the game
I’m concerned with what they were thinking with those ads
Btw I started playing because of a random meme video with doctor has doom slayer lol
Azurlane players with their global Yohstar ads : remember that... "NUMBA 1" "Numba 2"
When you give the marketing zero budget
They wasted their entire marketing budget on that Anime scene ad
these horrendous ads are the reason that discouraged me to play arknights for 2 years, the only reason I started playing Arknights is because of a video called "oh the misery but its arknights lore". it had a nice but dark artwork and decided to give the game a shot and goddamn the games good.
edit: also I first knew arknights at the 3rd ad but I didnt want to play the game because of the many misleading ads I saw before it, I regret not playing the game earlier

im glad i havent

1:13 bye bye y'all, I just can't with this...
2:59 what stage is this?? I don't remember that stage??
I really want to know what the meetings were like where they greenlit these ads.
AD 5 convinced me to check arknights out. The story got me hooked in.
The reason why I played Arknights and how i got into it is that i saw w’s main theme
Oh my goodness, my eyes are burning. Dear lord this is the most cursed this I've seen I might actually get oripathy.
Yo Ad# 3 was the original ad that made me want to play the game it was so good lmao
Bruh I subconsciously clicked the skip ad button for some of these 😭
I did not think Arknights had these kinds of ads. I was only aware of the Even PVs how wrong I was..
While most are outsourced the panda and corgi are inhouse since those employers also appear in Azur Lane streams from time to time (I assume AK too but I dont watch those).
Shout out to ma boi Yii!!
may Skalter spook you in the upcoming Limited banner xD

The only arknights ad thats good i watch was the Dossolos Holiday with the random vibin happy song
I miss those surreal live action ads.
Melee and slow does not guarantee FEater. Shift and slow does.
Ah yes… the Penguins Logistics ad got me to play ak. Hated the ad at first, but it got me
Also Bison
I’ve seen the bad arknights adds before but I decided to download after seeing the speed of light video and the cardiac arrest doctors
AK ads make me want to bleach my eyes
4:02 this is it, this right here brought me here to this hellhole of a Gacha game kekW
00:26 seems legit.
Wait you're telling me Arknights will fix my marriage, I gotta play this.
That why at first I miss this game....
I got so annoyed with the last one which was every single ducking ad break that i decided to try it out and here we are
its funny i have not watched any of these ads besides the code of brawl one (thank God for saving my eyes until now!)
Very unlikely to get FEater from those tags, you are guaranteed a Frostleaf tho. But put shift in there and you are guaranteed to get her.
wait what's the tag again
I remember that 3rd and it was so stupid that I downloaded the game that was back when first came out
"HAGDE HAGDE YAGADA YAGADA"
What the fuck is this? I'm surprised Arknights playerbase is growing despite those horrendous ads 😂
Honestly the shitty early ads (mostly the live action ones) convinced me not to play Arknights. Ironic too since I did watch some of their later animated PV and their listened to their music (i.e. speed of light) which are actually pretty damn good, but now it's a little too late to get back in; already spent my time and money elsewhere.
Ad 3 is kind of funny because it's not serious and it does actually show off a decent amount of art and gameplay in a non misleading way.
Ad 5 brings me to this amazing game
tbh, they could just use the PV's as ads
the second anniversary one was perfect for an ad imo
playing arknights for two years and i still don't understand any of the ads above
Same I don't exactly understand any of 'em despite I'm almost 1 year, I just understand a bit of em like FEater pushed CS to abyss but FEater's S2 ad cringed me, that man is "Doctor can't read EN" example.
Some ads are frickin doesn't make sense.
seriously
if they use their animated pv for ads they litterally would get much more download
and somehow i managed to scam my friends 5 times
Looks like the devs were just joking when making the ads
These arent made by devs these are made by horrendous CN companies that has no fucking idea how ads work
I’ve seen the bad arknights adds before but I decided to download after seeing the speed of light video
4:03 played Arknights because of this one. Fckn banger💃
