I'll concede, I probably should have researched it a bit more before making a purchase. But the trailer implied that the fluid combat I saw would be in gameplay. I got turnbased combat.TornadoCreator said:
Doesn't change the fact that turnbased is, IMHO, an annoyingly boring system. And god knows that Lost Odyssey certainly didn't save itself in the story departed, art department, or at all really...
When playing a game, I noticed I'm much more favorable to lots of colors. Taste the RAINBOW!
That all grey, brown, black shit usually means I won't buy it.
Which means many games my friends adore, I won't buy because it's usually all dark and gritty and...eww.

Really? Because the way I see it you were never playing through the stories of Jack or Delta. You were playing through the history of Rapture. You were experiencing a city unlike any other. Now suddenly there is ANOTHER city? Ah suddenly Rapture is no longer unique, What? There are things exactly like plasmids in that city in the sky? Ok so now ADAM is no longer unique. What you have to get into that city and then escape? Wait a tick... this is Bioshock copy and pasted... again. Believe what you want. Buy the game if you want, I won't attempt to stop you. I will not dive in front of the door to Gamestop as you pull up and scream, "NOOOO DON'T DO IT!!!!" I just refuse to feed the man that had once upon a time been my hero who so casually copies and pastes the same story not once. But twice and then attempts to shovel it back out at me as, 'Original'. I might be a little more accepting of it if they hadn't named it Bioshock, and instead had named it something new. By naming it bioshock they sully the name, and ruin the franchise for me.Ninjat_126 said:
Have fun buying generic crap!
And I honestly, and I am serious, I honestly mean that from the bottom of my heart. Because if that is all it takes to bring you happiness, who am I to argue with you? Me on the other hand? Well casually throwing away a great story of Rapture just to move on to another special town? It just isn't enough for me.

Anyway: if it uses the phrase "family fun"
If the trailer states "NOT IN-GAME FOOTAGE"
If on the Box-art there are reviews giving it 8 out of 10 from gamemaster (they know nothing, they usually give any big up-coming game a 10 so if they give a game an 8 then it must be terrible).
I had to dive deep into my subconscious to find this gem, but I'd say live action box art. As an escapist, I have a thing for escapism, so I don't like seeing a real person posing on the front of the box. Besides, that's kind of an indirect way of saying either, "This is a real world simulation", "This game is marketed to people who think the imaginary worlds of video games are weird and unappealing" (casuals), or "We're too cheap to bother with hiring artists for our box cover." Definitely judgmental, but on a subconscious level, it often makes me decide to get something else.
Another thing that turns me off right away is if the box art conveys a conventional western fantasy setting and the title has a conventional western fantasy buzzwords in it, like "Dragon", "Wizard" "Demon", "Elf", etc. If not for the reviews, I probably would have skipped over Demon's Souls. I'm just getting tired of conventional western fantasy at this point. Kind of like World War 2, five years ago.

Japanese influence, as in RPGs: nothing gets me more bored then some laughably ridicolous looking characters/weapons/enemies.
2 weapon limit: (every fps out nowadays) oh you weren't prepared for the tanks and only have a shotgun and a rifle? well too bad, now you only get the 2 shots with the rocket we put on the other side of them.
iron sights: you wanna be able to hit that sniper? well lets cut your movement speed to a quarter of what it was, to make it fair.
No splitscreen: hey we have great co-op, but you can't be in the same room as your friends to enjoy it
slow movement accompanied by a sprint function: you want to avoid being shot? well fine you can move quickly, but you cant be shooting while doing so.
