I find this trend troubling. It is like the PS3 exclusive Agent. All you got was a logo, an announcement it is a PS3 exclusive, and word it would take place in the Cold War, and BLAMMO, up popped the logo in people's signatures and they were hyping it... because it was a PS3 exclusive. A game is promoted beyond its own merits to being much more, either a savior of a genre, savior of a console, or something that proves some point in a console game partisan war.
Why would something with very little news except who is working on it and mechanics surrounding the game cause it to get a HYPE AIRSHIP?
By the way, I wil call myself on this also, and the risks of forming hypemobs over certain games. With me, I launched the Kirby Epic Yarn Brigade over an E3 TRAILER of all things. And I saw more and got more pumped. Well, I then HAD to get the game, so I figured out how to get it. Well, found out that the voice over was really annoying, and the game was Lego easy. Oh, I had fun with it, but it didn't live up to my own hype and that of my imagination. And this ended up with a game likely people knew more of than The Last Story. Hypemobs are a very risky thing to form. However, whenever they work, it is great. Mass Effect 2 deserved the bandwagon it got.
