Gaming - Too Much Hype? - View Post

So it's like an emotion?

It's extremely subjective.  Is there a universally accepted set point for "too much hype"?  

Most people that talk about it usually qualify it with something like "I've seen a lot of people talking about it on forums".  What if it's just the forums you visit and most other forums barely mention it?  Is Persona 5 "too hyped" because we talk about it a lot on VGC?  I bet there are lots of gamers who don't even know what Persona is and a lot of forums where it's not a popular topic at all.

I'm not going to let some nebulous concept like that ruin my gaming experience.

I don't think there's a universally accepted set point for "too much hype" but I think most people would agree that something with "too much hype" is a product being judged as good before it actually reaches people's hands.

That's how I define it: games that are declared great or goty before they're even released.
