Yes, it's a huge problem nowadays. The sense of discovery and excitement once you actually launch a new game and see it in action for the first time immediately becomes very low. After the first few seconds I start to feel a strong disappointment almost every time.

Promo-footage is the big destroyer. There's far too much of it and I can't help to not watch it.

But on top of this I am afraid I have gotten a bit bored in games in general in the last year, sadly. Probably has to do with age and stuff, but another important reason is that games have become so freaking dumbed down and are cynically designed to satisfy the common lowest denominator mass market low-IQ player.
