If you go see movies because you think they'll be good then most of the time you waste your money. How many movies come out these days that are actually GOOD? I'm not risking my money because the studio hired a good trailer maker. Same with videogames -- just because I want the game to be good doesn't mean it WILL be good. Buying games because I'm a fan of the series or watching a movie or reading a book because I HOPE it will be good isn't my idea of fun. It just seems awfully wasteful to throw money and time away on something that will most likely suck (most movies, games, and books that come out are terrible). Coming to your own conclusions about something is an important part of life, but I'm not gonna dump my earned money into entertainment that might be shitty. Most people do, however, and then it's just a plethora of ships caught in the spiraling sea of cognitive dissonance. If you have enough money to buy every game you hope is good and see every movie you hope is good, then more power to you, but I sure as hell don't.
