Doesn’t mean I’m not suspicious about it tho.

    PSA: Trailers are made to look amazing. The actual gameplay is the most important content when judging if a game is worth following. But even gameplay can and has been removed or changed before a videogame is released. But most importantly…

    DO NOT BUY PRE-ORDERS OR FIRST DAY BUYS!! The videogame industry has shown time and time again that they “will have to patch the game AFTER the game release, to actually make it a full and functional videogame” Give it time. You might just save yourself a headache and the loss of $40-$70.

      you say this, and warn me, and spook me. But the moment Silksong is up for pre-order I’m lossing my money.

        If silksong is bad, I’m legitimately going to have an existential crisis.

          My hopes aren’t as high. But the amount of time they spent (and will) cooking that game, it better deliver.

                Just don’t be surprised when it sucks and fails to live up to HK. A good sequel in 2023 is like a good STD. Purely theoretical.

                  well it’s a good thing that it probably won’t release in 2023 then. It’s safe to say that I’ll be telling the legend of Silksong to my grandchildren

        If you don’t learn from others’ mistakes, you are bound to make the same mistakes yourself.

        I’m pre ordering Haunted Chocolatier if that’s an option, I’m sure even if it’s not amazing it’s still going to be pretty good.

      I preorder all the time. Have never regretted it. And generally get more content for it. But I also don’t watch gameplay or trailers before it comes out.

    I watch those upcoming trailers on Youtube, and I’m sure it’s just me, but - it always seems like the movies are going to be stupid. For one thing, I’m in the minority, I don’t watch Marvel movies or care about superheros, so there goes 99 percent of the movies’ appeal for me. But also - I HATE the blue veneer over movies today - like they were all shot with a dark blue lens so everything is a uniform gray color, no skin tones, no sky tones, no color to the trees. I realize that’s probably because digitally shot movies look that way, but it’s quite unpleasant and ugly.

      Digitally shot movies don’t have to look that way, that’s why color grading exists. It’s partially due to directors utilizing HDR though.

        I wondered about that. When I was a film major in college (way back in 80s) we were using 16 mm cameras and actual film, and to correct for daylight (which has a lot of blue in it) we had to use an orange filter over the lens to make the colors more natural. So I’m sure there are ways to correct for the blueness in digitally shot movies. I just wish they’d use it!

        Like the movie “Napoleon” that just came out. There’s no way I’ll watch it just because I hate that blue/grey aesthetic so much, it bleeds so much life out of things and leaves skin tones grey and skies always looking overcast. It’s like being in a freezing cold place for two hours. No thanks!

    I dunno about the trailers, but I’ve been super-impressed by the live-action One Piece remake…
