Comment on Divinity - Cinematic Announcement Trailer

• creature@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  “That’s kinda how announcement trailers usually go?” Isn’t an appeal to tradition or a moral preference statement, which you seem to interpreted it as… It was just questioning your expectations. They are simply pointing out that you judged the trailer for being something it was never expected to be.

  Announcement trailers are non-committal by design - it’s the formal declaration of a project without making promises that are too early to make.

    you judged the trailer for being something it was never expected to be

    I didn’t do that. I simply judged the argument of “that’s usually what is done”. That’s not a good argument.

    I don’t have much against the trailer itself, can we let that part go? I only here oppose the argument of “everybody does it”. That’s what I had an issue with from the start.

    👍👍

      … So how did the trailer make you feel?

      Nah kidding I get your point, although we could argue that there is merit in doing something a certain way because everyone is doing it that way.

        Yeah, I mean, sure, it definitely depends on what it is. But if we want to use such an argument, there’d have to be a reason attached as well. Like, “everyone does it, and it’s for a reason, namelyyyyyy…”, you know what I mean?

        The argument on its own is just empty. 🤷‍♂️
