| Anfebious said: My problem with the hype machine is not the delays. My problem is when developers show you those nice trailers and make you think the game is going to be awesome. You get hyped for it, and then comes the moment when you play it... only to find out the game isn't as awesome as it looked. That's why I don't pre order anymore. And why I don't get hyped anymore. |
Pretty much this, every time I see really beautiful game footage, I tend to get hyped about it and then by the time I actually get to play the game it;s mostly not the same or it's been changed and feels like a letdown for me.
Now all I do is just watch a trailer, never buy into the hype and just roll my eyes whenever there's another delay, all hyping a game does to me is just kill what it could have been rather than what it is.
I also really see no reason to pre order games, like ever at all since there's no benefit to forking money over early when all you do is buy into a promise, not a reality.
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
