Does hype ruin a game?

I don't know if your problem is hype... you just can't stop looking into a game for the good of it.

I have this problem with Pokemon games. I want to watch all the LP's, read up on it, watch all the trailer's but that just ruins it. So I try to stop from doing it, it does help.

Hype doesn't necessarily ruin a game, expecting too much of something does.
