It feels like you can watch a trailer and already know the entire plot. Studios want to sell tickets, but it kills surprises. Are trailers ruining the experience?

codeberg

Modern trailers basically show the whole film.

Going in blind is always better. I hate the flashback ones too.
I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong ;)

KnotKnull

Studios don't trust audiences anymore.

Its like all written by bad ai

ElPresidente

That is the sensible route. Worth doing it properly rather than rushing it.

NinaVrina

Solid point, that matches what I ran into. I have learned to be suspicious of any fix that requires you to change multiple things at once.

Give it a go and report back.
VAR can do one

TheRizz

Yeah pretty much. Useful to know.

SGHolly

Is that always true or just in some cases? That is genuinely useful.

DQ Eric

That is the sensible approach. Every bit helps at the moment.
git commit -m "fixed everything"

FrostBear

That is pretty much it. Thanks for that. :D

DarkLantern

I got to the same conclusion a different way but yes. That is the sensible starting point.
Opinions are my own. Obviously.

Warden

Bit fiddly but that is the right approach. Happy to answer questions if you get stuck.

Pilgrim

For me that is spot on. Time will tell on this one.

Interesting, I had the opposite experience. I do not post much but that is worth saying.

Good to hear other people's experience.

QuoteThat is pretty much it. Thanks for that. :D

That is about where I am at. Would recommend giving it a go. :)
The truth is usually more complicated than the headline

A lot depends on who is making the claim and what they are trying to sell. The incentive structures in media mean certain angles get more coverage than they deserve.

I will update this thread if anything significant changes.

Shane

Kind of depends I think. The games that get talked about the most are rarely the ones I end up spending the most time on.

Definitely worth picking up.

MJF_Fan

Couldn't agree more. Appreciate it.

Storm52

Same here really. Appreciate the discussion.
git commit -m "fixed everything"

Tracey

I found the same thing. Good to know about.

Dom9

I am not sure the surface reading is the most interesting one here. What I find interesting is what it chooses not to include as much as what it does.

I find these conversations more useful than reading reviews.
