I've examples.



If you'll watch the action in this trailer, its pretty bad ass. The guy at one point shoots a hookshot at a dragon, goes over, then attacks a dude killing him. Jumps back to his dragon.

Did you actually play Lair? I just did.

I got gamefly and I added every game I had the least bit of curiosity about. I've gotten Lair today. The storyline is not only awful, but it's entirely unskippable. I actually watched more cutscenes than actual gameplay. I'm not joking either! It was all talk and barely any play. My dragon kept going the wrong way and I couldn't keep the camera focused. It would slide crazily when I tried adjusting it and so that's that.



Not that Brutal Legend was a bad. I enjoyed it, but its a strategy game. If you watch the trailers or play that demo, its anything but hinting at a game like that. It's pretty much the opposite of whats in the trailer. Yes, he gets the girl. Yes, he has that car. Yes, he can decapitate dudes. But it never looks anything as cool as any of this at any point.



This notorious trailer made laws change in europe to say "NOT ACTUAL GAMEPLAY." Because this isn't actual gameplay. This sure looked cool though. If only games were so handsome. Seeing all this in 30 seconds, tanks being blown up, a nazi hit in the face, and all the planes that's actually pretty cool, isn't it? Too bad the game was a major step down from anything in that.



Mercs 2 was fun. I played for about a half hour and beat half of it. No really! I got a ton of worthless achivements and blasted the crap out of everything. But not once did I hear this song or experience content that felt or looked like this. Advertising just makes it look so much more than it was.



This isn't colored bars moving up a screen. At all. It's something completely different. In fact, I'll go as far as to say I dislike things going on in the background when the game is actually going on. Not that I'm a big fan of these gimmick music games. I don't like music. I like heavy metal, but both Rock Band and Guitar Hero are as far removed from Heavy Metal as current Heavy Metal. Which is pretty damn far if you ask me.



I don't think I ever want to watch a trailer for a game again. Things are so horrible now. They're advertising in the advertising. I just want to scream at the computer screen. I just did. You could probably hear it I was so pissed.

I could post hundreds of videos from the old days. They're even worse.


I'm so angry. All I can do is post on the internet about it though.
