Am I the only person who doesn't give a damn about cinematic trailers for games? I get that they're supposed to build hype, but if it doesn't show any gameplay I just don't care.
I can understand if the release is far off and there's probably only buggy alpha footage, but this complaint extends to games that are out. During the recent Steam sale there were several times I was checking out a game and the only videos on the store page were cinematics with no gameplay.
Okay, rant over.
I don’t buy games if they only show cinematics or pre renders. No gameplay footage, no buy. I’ve been burned too many times to make that mistake again.
