GTA4 got hyped due to the past games in the series, and then they decided to make it more serious, so critics were led to believe they were dealing with some epic title that would put videogame storytelling on the map. As far as Modern Warfare 2 and Halo 3, they get hyped for the multiplayer. People become fans of Modern Warfare and Halo, because they like the gameplay. And I could also play the overhyped game by bringing up MGS4 as being WAY overhyped by individuals who say it is superior storytelling to even movies. It goes beyond just being a real good game, and people go after movies with it... partly to do PS3 fanboy hypefest. |
True. As I said earlier ALL big realeases are overhyped one way or the other.
To single out U2 - like it is the only one that has ever been overhyped, isn't quite fair.
You can pick ANY other major title and stick that label on it if you so desire.
