Honest question: What do you think? They tried to pay me to alter *my script* with lies about the game to trick *you* into believing what they wanted me to pretend were *my thoughts* - and I lost over $100 to rush to the content they wanted me to.
Honest answer: It's Hero Wars, the amount of silly ads and the cartoony looks it's more than enough. It's the same kind of garbage as raid garbage legends, I'm actually surprised you were willing to go along with them. Don't get me wrong, any form of income is welcomed I guess but in doing so, specially with those companies will just give you a somewhat bad reputation. As a matter of facts, I also wanted to call your miniature a blant clickbait since you could just used a hero wars picture instead, it would be more topic related but since those companies tend to screw you if you dare to talk bad about their product maybe it was the best call.
This is why you should get part payment upfront which isn't refundable imo. Then when you show them the final video and they suggest/tell you to change parts you don't agree with, you can end communication with them/decline and still be paid for time spend.
Thanks for staying loyal to us stix really shows that some companies really want money from their players and tbh the game doesn't really look appealing to me
If they are willing to screw over the people that they want to advertise for them like this, think of what they would be willing to do to their players.
This is why I only play the game that I review myself. Because there's no point play a popular game but not in my own taste. Few years ago, after reviewing many type of game without even play it, I found myself fall in love with Honkai Impact 3rd. (Before that, I'm playing GGZ) The only game that doesn't feel like targetting only a degenerate gamer, plus the gameplay is too unique compare to other game during that time until Punishing Gray Raven release. When Arknight release I was really impress with how the game creator can come up with a darker plot despite it's just a tower defence game. When I checking Blue Protocol Beta gameplay, I was so highly praise for the creator capable to create a awesome Open World game that resemble Sword Art Online. PS: That's why, rather than letting a good score rating decide for me. I rather review any game myself because I'm sure I will not regret playing a game that I choose myself.😇
It always rubs me the wrong way when two unrelated channels advertise the same game using identical phrasing, down to each word. This means only one thing - they were sent the script and weren't allowed to deviate from it. Why should I trust anything they say about the game when it's obvious that the company that made the game also wrote their script?
And thats why you make contracts with cancel clauses and what you are expected to do for them in order to have legal leverage, whatever the domain you're working in is, before even doing anything
First, the goofy ah fake ads, second the way how to luer people with women, and now this?? Why? Why won't they just be an honest gacha game company and advertise the RIGHT WAY!?
I’ve played this game along long time ago. It’s early phase actually. The game quite fun in the begining, I played f2p extensively. The catch is, these is kinda game that have 1-6 stars then 1-6 advanced stars, the requirement start from boogers to spaceX moon trip. 😮
Respect for not selling out to them. What they did is very rude, though I think reading their script after it wasn't approved seems a bit unprofessional in my opinion.

If you had honestly done this just from the small part where the character appears in the intro it would have actually been obvious this wasn't your words.Again we respect the honestly
I personally don't like those companies who don't give a freedom of speech and pays you to say untruthful things. Being Genuine is the best way to attract players. Anyways, I've played this game before, it's good but it doesn't have a feature where we can load our saved progress so we can play on multiple devices. I'm not sure if they have a save feature now cuz it's been years since I last played this
It's good of you to be morally upright for games when the developers aren't. Can't see how many ads I've seen trying to shill the game to the public, so it doesn't surprise me that they'd want you to follow their script and Only their script. Those kinda game houses can't take the criticism or know their product won't hold up to honesty. Thanks for that
What kind of company want us to lie that their game is the best or something, our thought or opinion is best way to improve their game play or game their want to make. Clearly their just want our money. Their some game I play that the dev try their best to improve their game despite that game just f2p that I really respect that company game. Stix I just wondering do you have any info about Aether Gazer so far? Since it quite long time already since their beta test start.
I have seen ads of this "game". I always either block the ad or ignore it when it can't be blocked. It's not for me. Looks like shit and I'm sure it is shit.
some how this game always stays in the top ranks on google play and its always blown my mind . i get it , its a cult classic somehow but i still cant get behind that. summoners war ok , too much of a grind for me but it isnt a bad game in general .. this one too me ... has always just confused the literal feck out of me lol .
If a game doesn't entice you with its art or gameplay don't play. But if it's worse if you can't say certain things that's why I'm glade Mtashed doesn't care about being blacklist
Let's be honest, after getting harassed by this games ad's in TH-cam on almost every video I'm pretty sure this game is trash! This was just the proof! 🤷🏾♀️
Yup! I don’t think I’m ever really critical unless the game is REALLY bad. I even said in this video that Hero Wars was actually kinda fun after I’d spent that much time in it.
Good video for you to build cred with your audience. But maybe bad business to burn this bridge - should chalk it up with working with amateurs who didn't really listen or focus on your channel and what you wanted to bring. They just wanted some youtube blogger ads. Hope you can spot these characters earlier in the process next time!
Honestly, I'd rather companies like this steer clear from me in the future. I have a great working relationship with the devs behind NIKKE, Blue Archive, PGR, Azur Lane, Arknights, all of HoYo's games, etc., so honestly, burning bridges with studios that try and scam me, and you guys, is more than fine with me.
Bro that sounds like a whole ass scam. They gave you a script they didn't want you to deviate from and wanted you to outright lie, so why would they have you invest your own time and money instead of just sending you prerecorded gameplay footage? You could have recorded the worst or most boring aspects of the game and it sounds like they wanted to leave nothing to chance in giving off the best impression possible. The other comments have pretty much gone over it already, but you gotta get some kind of contract and money up front from sponsors. This case in particular I'd dispute the charges with my credit card company. You'd think people would have learned already considering the early days of Raid SL apparently not paying anybody they got to advertise their game.
They needed me to show my gameplay with my face - AKA, me holding my phone in my hand showing that I achieved it myself. Unfortunately, the majority of sponsors I work with, that I've worked with for years still refuse to ever pay upfront, sadly.

what are we talking about?
You got taken for a ride.
@NewFormofSilence now that you mentioned that, I'm remembering Marvel vs Capcom 2 Character select song
That sucks the best thing to do now is make a brutally honest review of their game 😈😈😈

The game itself should be able to convince you to play it, not these shady ploys
Exactly, 100% agreed.
Shady is shady bruh disgusting tactics
oh yeah. Let's bribe that youtuber who exposes those who tried to bribe him.
Honestly they didn't do their research. lmao
I swear I saw Kaiser corporation most stupid scam being more effective, at least they don't shot themselves in the leg while sober up.
Appreciate your level of integrity. It is what makes you a trusted source of reviews for me.
Appreciate that, Sig!
This is why you should get part payment upfront which isn't refundable imo. Then when you show them the final video and they suggest/tell you to change parts you don't agree with, you can end communication with them/decline and still be paid for time spend.
Some studios work that way - NIKKE, recently, did. But some don't, sadly.
Thanks for staying loyal to us stix really shows that some companies really want money from their players and tbh the game doesn't really look appealing to me
Thank you for watching! It’s always deeply appreciated!
When a game wants to pay you to lie you know they don't care about anything but money it's pretty disgusting 😒
Thankyou for not being a shill
You're welcome! I'm more than happy to discuss instances of abuse like this!
@@Stixxy sadly alot of youtubers are shills hopefully they see the light and put fans over greed so more awareness can be spread
If they are willing to screw over the people that they want to advertise for them like this, think of what they would be willing to do to their players.
I'm so fed up with their ads. Not the slightest surprised they tried a move like this.
just because of the art I would not even consider installing the game. that's it.
Can't wait for episode 1of "Does it Suck!?"

Yup. I never take a sponsor that I can’t fully write myself.
Integrity - priceless.
Unfortunately not everyone cares enough to turn sponsors like this down.
RESPECT FOR YOUR TRANSPARENCY. SAD THE GAME COMPANY DOESN'T HAVE THAT.
I would've refunded all those purchases 😂
Lmao it’s fine. I’ll have a dedicated video on the game so technically it works out kinda.
And thats why you make contracts with cancel clauses and what you are expected to do for them in order to have legal leverage, whatever the domain you're working in is, before even doing anything

Right? I don't think it's hard.
All i want is honesty from every game company doesn't matter if it's pay to win or free to play
Right. We don't need to pay creators to lie about it and trick their viewers.
Hope we can extend that expectation to every company gaming or not.
Very respect to you man!
the fact that they ask too much, means they're not even confident with their own game
I’ve played this game along long time ago. It’s early phase actually. The game quite fun in the begining, I played f2p extensively. The catch is, these is kinda game that have 1-6 stars then 1-6 advanced stars, the requirement start from boogers to spaceX moon trip.

leaving a thumbs up because i think you really need it after going through that cringe inducing script.
LMAO thank you.

Respect my man.

I think so as well!
Censorship to the Extreme.
Gamers and Content Creators have been exploited for too long.
Basically they control you and try to advertises as much as possible.

Thankfully I work with plenty of great studios so burning these bridges is well worth it to protect potential players!
Have you seen the ads for this game tho i think one of them a killer toilet sucked the hero into the toilet 🤣
The Hero Warz MMO from KOG that was shut down back then looked a lot better than this.
lmao agreed.
Will there be any like, legal trouble since you used that footage of their character? I hope not!
damn it be like that with these gaming companies

Nope! Sadly.
I do appreciate your honesty, but is it even legal to reveal this whole stuff?
Is it possible to ask for a refund? You can get a copy of *6 unit for that $100 🗿
Lmao unfortunately not. It’s been over a month and I’ve still been obtaining footage for it.
Bro... 2:33 was so cringe, I couldn't stand it more than a second and skipped that part immediately lmao
LMAO right? That's what I'm saying. There's no way people could take me seriously after faking that!
thanks for letting us know what games NOT to play!
What they hope when they show stuff that is not even ingame. Show ingame stuff too convince me to play and not install update play 20min uninstall.
i try hero war's for a day or two befor it got old.
that thumbnail art.. looks awfully familiar
Sauce in the description!
@@Stixxy lol yeah I follow the artist, their work was recently stolen for use as AI food
Predatory gacha company aren't good ppl? man who wouldve thought
If I ever make a MMORPG, would you just review it? UwU
Of course!
I have seen ads of this "game". I always either block the ad or ignore it when it can't be blocked. It's not for me. Looks like shit and I'm sure it is shit.
It seem copy and paste or didn't blacklist you.
You wont believe this, I didnt click on the video for the thumbnail. But since im here...... Sauce Pwease?
Sauce is ALWAYS in the description!!
Oh my god, that is the character of every ugly mobile game ad in youtube
Lmao yup. I see it everywhere as well!

these games all use the same assets and are all basically scams tbh
