@readygamenews: I don't think people should be hyped for ANYTHING. Hype only inflates your expectations making it much less likely for the game to live up to them.
Only in a few very rare cases has a game lived up to and exceeded my expectations. In most games I am genuinely excited for I refuse to read or watch any videos based on the game.
Like Witcher 3, I was a big fan of the first two games and I was genuinely excited for it. After the first "killing monsters" trailer which still to this day gives me goose bumps I refused to watch anything relating to the game. So that when I fired up the game for the first time I had no idea what I was about to see.
I did this same thing with Fallout 4 though and not even going in blind could save that pile of shit.
Totally agree with you, especially with The Witcher 3. I think that game is the only one in recent memory that I was very hyped for and it 140% exceeded that hype. This game is massive, the quests are fantastic, the combat kinda sux with the input lag but I can forgive that, the emotion in the NPCs is very realistic, the soundtrack is outstanding, and there is just so much attention to detail all over the place. I cannot think of any other game right now that has lived up to the hype except for The Witcher 3.
Then the hype for Fallout 4...This was probably the most hyped I was for any game ever and it failed miserably. They nailed the gunplay and the movement having a sprint option finally, but the RPG elements are pretty much gone, the dialogue sux, and the quests are mindless "shoot this" objectives, making the newest Fallout a shooter with RPG in name only.
As for No Man's Sky, I haven't watched too many videos recently for this game, but back in 2014 and last year, the footage came off leaving this empty feeling about the game. Hopefully there are lots of dangers and enemies in it to make it challenging and more violent than what it appears on the surface because it looks VERY bland with a colorful shine to entice us to buy it. I hope to be pleasantly surprised once it comes out, but I'm not hyped for this game.
