Disapointment is defined as unmet expectations. Does hype raise your expectations for games so high that when you finally play them you end up a little disapointed?

My best example of this was the comparisons people made between MGS4 and Crysis visuals. So immediately on playing the game I just had to compare them. The visuals were nothing like Crysis and I was... disapointed.

I find its easier since I don't track Wii games, that when I finally get to play them - all I know is that they're pretty well made games, the ones I end up playing. But I don't have overly high expectations and the games very rarely disapointment me because I don't have any preconceptions about what the game will be like etc.

I think I buy into hype too easily and thats probably why it does it to me. I think theres also a difference between registering an interest in a game and making outrageous claims.

for gta4, dmc4, and halo 4, yes.

for mgs4, no, it shattered the hype that was behind it.

Yeah, Halo 4 sucked.

yeah sometimes it does

I beat Halo 4 in like 10 min's and my Turbo Grafix 16 has better graffix!!!!! LOL

I totally agree.

As do I.

GTA IV - yes                  My favourite is still GTA III by far
Halo 3 - no                    Just like I knew it would be. Better than Halo 2 = Awesome
Bioshock - no                Ok it was just a little hyped, but it's even greater than I thought
Assassin's Creed - no   Just like Bioshock
DMC 4 - no                    I'd never played a DMC before, so I don't know. I like it

For MGS4 and some other PS3 games. I don't have any friend, that has the power of THE CELL, so I can't argue about that :P

Halo 4 isn't nearly as good as Halo 5 and 7 will be.

After FFVII I learned not to believe the Hype. So it really doesn't faze me anymore.
