If it’s an unknown studio or something I’m dubious about I like to check spoiler free reviews after the launch just to see if everyone hates it/it’s broken or not and then I’ll give it a try. Other than that I still try to avoid most media about it. Reviews, trailers and forums give so much info, spoilers and wish lists presented as fact that it can lead to let down I wouldn’t have had otherwise
I’ve also tried to let go of the idea of what I want the game to be and just let it be what it is, which for me has made them much more enjoyable
I know the movie isn’t for everyone but I really enjoyed it. I thought it really captured the whirlwind feel of the era with the grand visuals and kickass soundtrack. The story made sense and was about as good as anyone could have done with a movie and not a 1:1 episodic retelling. Was it perfect? No, but it was damn good and fun
