The Hype Monster

[Benjeezy]

What games, in your opinion, were overhyped/ruined by hype/received undeserved attention? Are you just sick and tired of hearing about any games in particular?

This applies to all games too. If you wish people would STFU about an older game, this is the place to sound off.

Thank you, as always, for your time.

As an addendum to my OP, I got kind of tired of hearing about ME2...I know it's a fantastic game, I'll wind up getting it at some point, but right now I just cannot STAND it I'm weird, I know...

Mass effect 2. Instead of interesting threads like this one, we get stuff about ME2 all the damn time. It might be a cool game, but seriously? Use gameFAQs or make a group, or something.

Mass Effect 2, and Bayonetta (sp?)

Anyway... Yeah, the most recent examples would be MW2 and ME2. Also every MGS and FF game ever.

I wasn't the only one who hated MW2?

Assassins Creed 2 is so over rated it hurts. People bounce all over it and claim: BEST GAME OF DA YEARZ LOLZ IT WAS EVUN BETTAH DAN HALOSSS AND I LOVE HALOSSS.

After hearing so much about fallout 3 from other gamers and reviews i tried it.
I regretted that... it's just so freaking dull!

Also, mw2 is worth the hype.
All my friends play it, and that's the fun part.
Most people SHOULD have fun playing with their friends.

Modern Warfare 2.

Everyone was cumming over MW2 and it really started to piss me off. Its not even that good of a game. The multiplayer's good but thats about it.

What happened to strictly single player games and people getting excited over that?

 

[CriticalGriffin]

Halo(or any other modern FPS in general) and FF7 gets too much attention in terms of storytelling.

 

[StriderShinryu]

Hmm... Half Life 2 immediately comes to mind. The worst part is that it's not just fanboys that slather it with undeserved hype, it's critics too.

I also feel that the shine wore off Zelda some time ago and when every new game in the series gets crowned pre-release as the most amazing game ever it's nothing but extremely annoying.

 

[Benjeezy]

People make these games out to be Jesus 2.0, and then when it's not they rampage on the forum page :x

Despite that, they do it again for the sequel.

I call the Entire Fable Series!
Good games, but bad Publication.

 

[Premonition]

Modern Warfare 2, or better known as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 1.5.

Does getting excited over FF XIII count? If so, hello! *Waves like a maniac* We are here.

Somewhere...

OT: To be honest, I've never really had hype ruin a game as I tend to ignore it.
Of course, that has changed due to FF XIII but I'm confident it'll be a good game.

 

[sephiroth1991]

Maybe resident evil 5, i enjoyed the old ones and somehow got pulled in by the hype. I should of know i would be despointed, it was taking much from number 4.

Im worried about bioshock 2 sucking because of it.

 

[IxionIndustries]

Not really a game, but..

I am sick and tired of hearing about Natal.

 

[TheNamlessGuy]

DELETED

 

[Orcus The Ultimate]

wierdly it's when gaming industry became a lot bigger, so i'd say every game since 2005...
