No.
Because I don't bother reading previews.
Oblivion is a perfect example of why. People that read previews (rightfully) expected Radiant AI to be able to pass the Turing test. They were horribly disappointed. People that didn't read previews hadn't even heard the buzzword "radiant AI" and came in with lower expectations and instead found some really cool AI making the world seem pretty lifelike.
Previews are never accurate. All fluff detailing the best case scenario. I have no idea why they're ever read. All they do is make you drool over a game that can never possibly exist.
I actually agree with this more or less. I never read previews really, I mostly watch gameplay walkthroughs right before launch and then cancel my amazon pre-order if it looks iffy. To me gameplay walkthroughs (NOT trailers) are the best way to tell if I want a game, period. Especially with sequels, since I know the fundamentals already.
That said, the Oblivion gameplay walkthroughs are what people are talking about, and they mis-represented the game. |
