I didn't care for any of those initial announcements, what am I going to do with that? Announce a game when you know that I'll be able to play it in at max 1.5 years, if that's not the case then just shut up, sorry that's just not something I'm remotely getting excited about, something that far away, might as well announce every game that's greenlighted.

Its a regualr thing in the industry as most games are announced years ahead of time.  If you dont want to get excited for it though, that is fine by me.

You're definitely right that it's a regular thing in the industry (unfortunately imo) and if people are excited by it then I really can't expect that stuff to end, but I'd extremely appreciate it if the industry moved to shorter announcement-release cycles, I mean we just have to look at examples like the Division, Phantom Dust or the R&C reimagining, all of which imo should have been announced at least a year later.

Bloodborne has been the absolutely perfect example of how it should be done I think.
