For those of us who have been in this industry for the last 15-20 years or so... doesn't it seem like AAA games disappoint more than they use to? Back in the day, when a game was hyped by magazines like say, SMB3... it delivered. Now you see games hyped to the heavens and back and then fall flat on their faces.

Could it be corruption? Maybe now, companies pay off the media until review time to make games seem worthwhile? I don't know what it is but it sure seems like something has changed.

I have to disagree on account of the fact that I am not dissapointed.  At all.  it is exactly what I thought it would be. 

I guess what I meant by dissapointment was review scores. Do you know how many 9's were given out during the DC,PS2,Xbox and Gamecube era? It just seemed like games that were hyped back then, which isn't even that long ago, delievered critically.
