A reminder that video game adverts can be good
Remember when video game adverts were good?
We just aren’t treated to the same level of grandeur nowadays.
A few frames, Guns N' Roses, “RATED M FOR MATURE”.
That’s our lot.
But Thailand clearly puts out good video game adverts.
Give it a watch below, you won’t be disappointed.
More confused and emotional, perhaps.
First off, thanks to industry analyst Daniel Ahmad for bringing the advert to our attention over onTwitter.
It’s a wild ride and one to stick with, as it really goes places.
Oh, how wrong I was.
Soon, the advert transforms into something greater.
One where a family fights over a shattered ring at the dinner table.
Not only that, but he refers to it as the Golden Erdtree without a hint of irony.
Later, it’s revealed that Grandma runs away from home quite often due to these big family rows.
As one kid stands up at the 2:49 mark, there’s also a little trumpet noise.
Out of everything, that’s what finally tipped me over the edge into a full-blown belly laugh.
