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.

I didn't even realize this was about games and not movies

[-] TehBamski@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago

Both apply.

[-] UnRelatedBurner@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 months ago

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

[-] gullible@kbin.social 7 points 7 months ago

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

[-] UnRelatedBurner@sh.itjust.works 4 points 7 months ago

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

[-] c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Time doesn't equal quality.

hater. Or something. idk. just give me silksong already

[-] c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

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.

[-] UnRelatedBurner@sh.itjust.works 0 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

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

[-] c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

I feel you, I haven't gotten more a couple minutes of teaser trailer which showed nothing of importance to a game franchise that hasn't had an entry in seven years.

Just sitting here hoping I'll see the day it comes out lol

[-] UnRelatedBurner@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

thankfully I don't have many games like that. But everyone can feel this pain.

I wanted to copy a quote about how waiting is actually good, but you get the Idea. Let's hope it's like wine

[-] c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

I hope so, I didn't really enjoy hollow knight because I'm not one for the souls-isj gameplay loop but it was a damn good looking game with an excellent OST and I hope the sequel is good for the people who do enjoy it.

[-] TehBamski@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

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

[-] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 3 points 7 months ago

Literally, silksong is the exception for me. I will do anything for that game.

[-] AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

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.

[-] potterpockets@sh.itjust.works 18 points 7 months ago

Cries in KOTOR

[-] PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Context please? :)

[-] tygerprints@kbin.social 7 points 7 months ago

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.

[-] erev@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

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.

[-] tygerprints@kbin.social 0 points 7 months ago

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!

[-] WaxedWookie@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

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