General What’s the first thing you look for in a game trailer?

I was watching a trailer and realized something. The first thing i check isn't the graphics. I immediately look at actual gameplay. A trailer can look like a Hollywood movie then the game itself feels empty after playing for an hour. Show me how units move. Show me combat. Show me strategy. Leave all those dramatic camera angles. If the gameplay looks boring, no amount of shiny graphics can save it.

It's the gameplay. Everything else is secondary. I've been burnt too many times by fancy trailers. One game looked like a blockbuster movie, then the actual gameplay felt too boring.
