I'm sure everyone has at one point or another... hype is just advertising for a game.
Movies, music, art, you name it are hyped (or at least marketers want to build hype for everything). It's an art really.
Whether or not it lives up to the hype depends on the person experiencing it... at the end of the day if you buy it, they were successful.
The problem with following hype is that there's a chance you would have liked those games if they had never been hyped in the first place, since your expectations would be different...
Also a lot of people have different opinions on what games they like to play. I remember when I first got a PS2, I bought some games with high reviews... but they were boring. I wasn't used to the style of game, and they just didn't appeal to me since I grew up PC gaming.
The only thing you can do is know yourself, and know what you like. Find reviewers that you trust, and try not to think about the game too much before you buy it. Just enjoy it.
