I guess my definition of hype is different. It seems most people's definition here is closer to what I would call awareness. The level of awareness on gaming websites and through marketing was pretty big. To me hype take into account how big people think it is going to be and how good it is. When even generous predictions have it selling (before reviews) 3-4 mil, and people were hoping for 77-82 Meta and maybe if all goes well 85 I dont call that hype.
The Avengers 2 = hype
Destiny = hype
Uncharter 4 = hype
Halo 5 = hype
All 4 franchises stated have or had an expectation of massive sales and great critical review. Destiny lived up to the hype in sales IMO, just not reviews (but I loved it)
If there is a movie this summer I would liken to the Order it is the Fantastic 4 reboot. People hope it will be good, no one expect greatness(hopefully it pulls a Guardians of the Galaxy shocker on us...), no expects huge box office revenue, but many think it can do well. I would not say F4 is hyped, but consumer awareness for the movie is very high.

You mean like this?
"This game is gonna be big"

So because Smalls44 says "This game is gonna be big" over a year ago the game is hyped? Come on. You could point to any game and find people who go over the top about it.
Nobody was talking about camping out for the game. It was just a major release with alot of controversy. Bloodborne is closer to being hyped than the Order ever was, most expect it to be really good if not great, the only thing holding it back from being hyped is the fact it is niche.
