Out of curiosity, why does it hurt you so much that people on the internet are hyped about something that you don't think deserves it or will get comparable sales? Does it really matter to you that I want to talk about a new game from a developer I love (TLG) even though it's not going to sell like Halo? Or that I like that a new Sly is being made on an HD console since it's so different from most of what is put on the HD guys? Or that I'm hyped for a new entry in one of the oldest Playstation franchises around?
I've never considered people being overly hyped about something to be harmful in any way. Whether or not I agree, it's just people being happy about something. I consider something like what you're doing here (putting down what other people are looking forward to or were looking forward to) to be much more harmful to making a worthwhile community. To Everyone else: This isn't the place to rail on the guy for what he oes in Youtube. Take it somewhere else please. |
I have no problem with people being hyped for a game. Truly.
To me, it comes off as pretentious, that literally every PS3 exclusive is expected to be a AAA blockbuster and the Wii/360 gamers hear no end to it. When the game does release and doesnt meet initial expectations, the hype immediately dies but they move on to treating another upcoming exclusive like the second coming. Its a neverending cycle of smugness and elitist mindsets. Wii and 360 gamers hype of Zelda, Halo, and Gears but thats cause they are our flagships. PS3 gamers hype everything, and I do mean everything.
But The issue here is that I am referring to fanboys (please dont moderate me for that I am not calling anybody here that) where as this community isnt composed of them. So I apologize for lumping in PS fans here with PS3 fanboys I find elsewhere.
