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.
