To add games to the list I think xenoblade 1 (or one of the remakes) had a trailer that spoiled a ton of twists like a twist villain, a twist party member, setting, etc
This. And often you get a sequence of epic scenes. You think wow, this will be awesome. And then its ... long stretches of bordom between these exact scenes :|
I never thought it'd be a basilisk. But that's because the basilisks they have video games tend to have legs and that's all the info I had at the time. Still a reptile, just not a snake.
I’m not sure if you’re one of todays lucky 10000 but if you didn’t know that basilisks are real already, go look for videos of basilisk lizards running. They live in South America and very cool.
