Reading carefully through reviews and/or trying a demo/beta before buying and not giving any crap about trailers. You can gnerally find out if the game can appeal to your tastes or not when doing so. Oh, and never preordering any game, I buy my games at budget price (exept Nintendo, since they tend to not lower their prices anytime soon) month or even years after release, generally during some sale. This has the advantages of 1. having to pay much less 2. mostly patched by then; thus better playable 3. often by that point it's a GOTY or similar version with the DLCs included, making you save even more money. You just need some patience...
