Oh dear god, this is hilariously bad. You've gone from passing off opinion as fact to nitpicking my post to death. Quality work
Let's see if I can sum this up so that my response is halfway legible.

When you use words like "abysmal," or make assumptions about what people did or did not understand, it stops being objective. Certainly I could have been more precise in my breakdown of some of your posts elements, but I felt that stuff like the generic voiceover were worth tossing you a bone, even if there were a couple lines referencing respawning that would be out of place in a lot of other trailers. Of course, once you start calling the voice over stupid, or talking about how you personally didn't get anything out of it, then it's lost all objectivity entirely.

My "objective analysis" is that you've got an over inflated ego. PS2's trailers are doomed to failure if they don't listen to your criticisms, right?

Your confusion is normal because you know nothing about story or trailers and I'm annoying you with terminology you can't sufficiently contextualize.
You're excused.

I don't know a lot about trailers, but I do know quite a bit about storytelling. But by all means, keep talking down to me like I'm some ignorant child. It really helps your argument.

Bring that ball back here, I'm not done playing with it! Come back I said.
