What to Watch

Hello internet, Max here. I love game trailers, nothing is as mesmerizing, engaging and imaginative then a  game trailer. It is one of my best reasons to wake up every morning, just to watch that amazing, kick ass game trailer. Although over time after watching a lot of game trailers, you just realize that the best part of the game is not in game.

Worse are the ones that oversell the game, when you get it and feel how bad it is. There comes the sense of betrayal and anger. The expectations set by viewers after watching the game trailers that just fails to reach the level of satisfaction is just hard to bear.

Like the creative assembly's Stormrise. Came out in 2009. Check out this trailer.


Awesome trailer, right? Then the reviews came and what a shocker. Gamespot gave it a 2 out 10. It was so hard to believe it was such a disappointing game. I didn't even know Gamespot could bother to rate the game so low. I truly wanted to buy this game, then I watch a game review in Youtube and I didn't want it anymore.

Some though reach a higher expectation than what trailers can show or just meets the exact amount. The narrator telling the tale or ominous warnings. The view of game world. Bits of gameplay. The right music to match the video. The immense gratification of getting just the best game out there. Like Skyrim.



And some just make you to wonder and leave your mouth open. Like No Man's Sky trailer.


I am really hoping to see what in store in this game. There are a lot of gametrailers out there, some are for teasing, some to impress, humor, horrify. Just another good reason to wake tomorrow. For me, after watching the game trailer below and I want it.


I have a thing for anime.
