Did your feelings toward a game you like change when you started to hear about it everywhere? 

My friend had an xb360 when Halo3 came out back in the day when I still played ps2 occasionally and it blew my mind. We played it almost every weekend even before it was the most popular game at school. I was one of the few gaming nerds that only rarely talked about his hobby with specific people so I thought that their taste was questionable if they can only appreciate one game.



I was maybe more than 10 years old when I first saw Zelda Ocarina of Time on an emulator, and I was really impressed but I only wet myself when I saw Majora's Mask. I played with the cheats on and it was batshit insane. Articles and videos that came out a few years ago that compared it to OoT were slightly dismissive of Ocarena's legacy and that irritated me. I still think MM the best Zelda but when I returned to it I couldn't help but do the comparison myself.

No. I do my own research, hype merely makes me research it more since I'm naturally suspicious when a company puts extra money into advertising.

Not really. Hype doesn't really affect my purchasing decision one way or the other

No, hypes don't effect me.

Nope, not for me.

Hype doesn't ruin a good game for me, it's if the game doesn't live up to the hype and it's a much worse game than I anticipated I'll be more disappointed about the game since I probably would have purchased it day one.

There have been several games the hype has been through the roof, and they've turned out to be great, good, or decent games. I didn't like them any less because they may not have lived up to the hype.

Dragon Age Inquisition however, that is one game that I was hyped up for that not only didn't live up to the hype, it's boring as hell. Fetch quests out the ass and the single player content that I've played through is just extremely disappointing. Multiplayer is alright aside from the insane class balancing issues and practically no content.

I don't usually get overhyped. I think it's because I've always got games to get through. A massive playstation backlog. That keeps my mind off upcoming releases.

If the last guardian ever comes out the disappointment will be fucking hilarious for most, while I'll likely enjoy it way more because I've zero hype for it.

But did you ever purchase and enjoy a game then think that it might be a little overhyped when everyone still talks about?

I don't get caught up in that stuff really. I just like what I like and pay no mind to general opinion.
