The problem with hype, is that when the game is released, expectations created by word of mouth (hype threads) as opposed to the merits of the game itself, will cause people to become "upset" (for lack of a better word) because they assumed that this game would change gaming forever, and when it didn't, they become disillusioned and judge the game more harshly then they would have if they had not been hyped into believing this game will be a masterpiece.
I personally believe it will be a great game, finishing up in the 80's, but much like uncharted (a previously overhyped and now overrated game), every fault of the game will be more glaringly obvious because I was told to expect a flawless experience. This happened with MGS4 aswell, but the game's faults were clearly laid out during the hype (long cutscenes is the big one, where as no one has mentioned (in hype threads) the issues with KZ2 (and previously uncharted).
That's why I'm creating anti-hype in those threads (I'm one of the 20 posts you talk about), because KZ2 will be a great game, similarly to how GTA4 is a great game, but when people expect something awesome, and get something that was outside of what they defined awesome, then the game will be hated.
Obviously there are haters that just want to shoot the game down, but I'm not one of them (and I'm sure at least 5 of those "20" posts are the same).
