Why are some hyping Demon Soul like it is a game changer?

I think if people want to hype their games, let them and STFU.

I have honestly grew so tired of people whining because one person or a group of people decided they liked a game and were excited about it's release.

I see these threads every so often and what I find to be such an issue is that when we have Mass Effect hype threads or Halo hype threads or Gears hype threads I don't see these same people bitching about those games being hyped.

Sometimes, like seen in this thread, we even have some of these people try and act like one side does this unspeakable crime of gaming excitement while the others keep it calm and do not display excitement or hype what so ever, and if they do acknowledge it theyact like it's okay since those games will sell a couple million more.

Like I usually say. If you're going to bitch about one, bitch about them all.

had to add something to your post so I can say...

I agree with this 100%.

(if i didn't add that it would only be 99%)

The portion you added is one of the main reasons why I dislike this generation.

Makes me wish I never began lurking on internet gaming sites.

When I see someone who acts like it is alright to be excited about a game because it sold really well and not ok to be excited for the one that doesn't... makes me want to smack them upside the head and inform them that they need to get their collective gaming shit together.

 

Edit -

Let me tell you also why hyping and praising of titles is a good thing.

Remember the VGChartz giveaway for the Valkyria Chronicles figurines? If it wasn't for people like Outlawauron hyping and praising the game and helping to spread word of mouth we may not have had SEGA's site flooded with VGChartz members asking for the giveaway to be hosted here.

Not to mention, if it was such a bad thing why did SEGA publicly thank all of those people when it helped with sales of the title?

Keep on hyping fellas!!
