Small snippets and trailers are fine, because the developers actually want you to watch them, even if they hint or perhaps for 0.02 seconds show something revealing it was all according to plan.

And replaying a game is different to watching it online before even playing it once. I could like a campaign (like most of the CoDs, all Halos except Reach, Gears of War, PvE Experience of Warcraft, TES Series etc.), replay it, but it's still a pet peeve of mine for people who will buy the game or are very likely to will go and watch the entire campaign before even trying it. It's also a method of just blissfully going through the entire campaign in the quickest amount of time because you know the route (there are some missions that some people can stuck on in linear games like "Cortana" from Halo 3) and you'll know the ambush or you'll know to rush "x" zone because a long, unavoidable dialogue/cutscene will play.

And gameplay? I rarely find a game which has bad gameplay in campaign, it usually runs fine unless you find guns/bows which shoot peas and nothing but guns/bows which shoot peas.
