I Played Evertale So You Don't Have To (Fake Ads)

Comments

Gamerofbravery: The ideas that are shown in the ads brings so much potential with it displaying a psychological horror twist on pokemon similar to cough cough Lost Silver (or Omori but I haven't played it yet so idk). It's so sad that it was mis advertising because the premise looked pretty unique. (Well you can kinda say that with every mobile game ad but Evertale stands out the most in my opinion.)


1. I'd like to know the grammatical construction of "with it displaying".
2. I'd like to know if "it" refers to "the ads".
3. I'd like to know if "that of" should be inserted between "similar to " and "cough cough".
4. I'd like to know what "premise" means.
5. I'd like to know what "with" means.

I hope gamerofbravery's gaming skills are better than his English, which is pretty bad.

1. "Brings" is wrong. Both "ideas" and "are" are plural, so "bring" is required.

2. Just omit "with it", a phrase without meaning.

3. "That of" would certainly be an improvement, but it's acceptable to omit it.

4. All you need is a dictionary. Google "define premise".

5. In this case "with" has no meaning. See item 2 above.

I can't fully understand that answer. I'd like to know if you're saying that "with" and "every mobile game" should be omitted.

I'm not saying that. I recommend substituting "about" for "with", not because with is wrong but to improve clarity.

The with in 5 should be for, or, as probus suggests, about.
