I set up a lot of youtube videos to play on my phone while in the car, and I have to watch ads (or listen to them) while driving because i can't tap the skip button. People watch the ads more than you think. I don't think there are nearly as many adblock users and non-adblockers.
It wouldn’t be as big of an issue for me if ads were actually good. Usually they’re not though, and range from mere boring nuisance to something that has the exact opposite intended effect; as in, I’ll never buy that because of that horrible ad I was interrupted by.
Yeah, I get that. But usually when people talk about doing something "for the clicks", they mean that the author is only interested in inflating their site's traffic numbers through deceptive or outlandish headlines & thumbnails; it doesn't really fly when someone's bread-and-butter is built solely on longer-term engagement.
Ooh, I don't know. I absolutely hate advertising with a consuming passion. Such vacuous, invasive nonsense.
I mean Jim Sterling is obviously playing a character, it's what he does. He's always done that with the jimquisition videos, even back when he was on the Escapist. If you want honest and real Jim you have to watch his impressions videos of big name games. It's the only time he is really straightforward and not trying to do his "Act".
I think RDR2’s equivalent of the realm “rings” in GoW were the train rides and scenery montages during fast travel. Other than loading the game saves I think the only noticeable leading sequences I recalled were those deer dreams or “visions” in between chapters
Indeed. The system even loads ps4 games much faster than the ps4 ever could. Its kind of like playing ps4 games on a pc now. Cleaner resolutions, fast loads, and consistant performance.
If I wanted to be 'that guy', I'd say it took the PS5 to finally deliver on what Sony promised the PS4 would be way back when the latter launched.
