Nothing is going to change though. Forum video gamers demand hype so they can make console war lists and have electronic gasms. 

Pretty much gave the best possible response as the first comment for this topic.

I personally don't like hype because it ruins my gaming experience with newer games since it can never live up to the expectations (Uncharted 4 for me). That said, there are definitely some positives as it keeps forums and gamers discussing about the industry and generates more exposure/revenues to the industry as a whole.
