I feel like there's often been a negative slant when viewing new things, but its seemingly grown to point of predictability.

I'm not looking to call people out and i appreciate people have their own opinions but just taking today's Ubisoft presentation as prime and fresh example, it was soo negative.

What's more, I almost felt like i knew it would be going in. The escapism in a video game just being a video game, becoming a poor taste political statement or immediatley written off on past iteration.

Maybe i'm alone and my view is just completely 180 on everyone else, but i like what i saw and am interested to find out more.

Outside of this site, most others I've started to see trickling in are either a mix or at least a more neutral but optimistic on these early snippets.

I doubt i'll ever return to this, so its really just a vent. However it would be interesting to see if im alone on this feeling.

It didn't use to be this way.

I don't recall any that felt like they went any longer than they needed and quite a few which i would have liked to have seen more of.

Quick looks typically have a short intro and early game scene setting followed by something a little later to show the progression, how long this takes depends on the game. But their approach appears to be 'Here's something i like' not just a 'we should cover this', so they have an interest in it and hence fill the time accordingly. I don't think the youtube style sub 10 min videos 'because nobody has any attention span anymore', would be enough and certainly not something i would want to see happen here.

@believer258: The ports came later, in some cases years after. So they were in fact exclusive at the time, prompting sales of the respective platform as the op was (obviously) alluding too.

YEAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@spraynardtatum: Because of the pre-order DLC described in this article. Hence needing to pre-order.
