![]() In the meantime, just got into Elden Ring and got Persona 5 in the hopper, both bought at the prize one of them would have cost at release. I'm waiting to do the same with Cyberpunk, already bought it heavily discounted and waiting for the dlc to play it. Ended up playing both only when all Dlcs were out, grab them both for cheap too. Same thing happened to me with Dragon Age Inquisition and Witcher 3. The worst thing that can happen is that you end up playing a more feature complete game at a cheaper prize. I suggest always lowering your expectations when playing a franchise you never played before, Undertale was hyped to oblivion, did it reach the hype expectations? No but you still enjoyed it and that's enough.īeing wary of hype is not a bad thing, at least for single player games. I did play P5 after playing through cold steel 1, 2 and 3 which may have affected my thoughts on the game. ![]() I do feel persona 5 is a good example of the game being so overhyped, when I got to play it in 2020, I thought it was ok, the first 10 hours and last 20 hours is amazing, but everything in the middle of this 100-hour game was not that great tbh, the characters were not good enough to carry it compared to P4 imo. I use to get annoyed about stuff like that now I am just happy people are enjoying things, this world has enough sadness for me to care about everyone having fun.Įveryone praising the hell out of chained echoes? Awesome, it's probably not for me but I am not gonna allow the fact that people love it and hyping it up to put me off the game, that's just silly if you think about it. I watched an ep or two, but wasn't getting it.* In anime circles, Chainsaw Man was the same way. For something I've never seen a teaser for, it seems like the newest in thing I've barely even heard of yet everyone is going apeshit for. *Thought of this dicussion because I'm kinda getting that way with Chained Echoes right now. I'll be the biggest defender, but also think, "Yeah.maybe I like this a bit TOO much." Just a thing you want to like, but inadvertantly get beaten down by the publicity for it outside of the norm? Conversely, any game you've seen that you're part of the hype machine for, only for people to go, "I don't get it?" I've had this happen with Persona 5. I know this sounds like a weird thing, but do you ever feel that way? It doesn't have to be games. However, I did it outside of the timeframe of being beaten down by that initial wave. I'll play it when this dies down." So 3-6 months later, the fervor dies down and I start seeing LPs, streams, and play it and understand its popularity. ![]() However, it just felt like an endless stream of consciousness and discussion that was outside a personal tolerance. It ended up being really good, don't get me wrong. As much as being on internet, forums, and social media can help me find out about games a lot quicker (or even at all in some games' cases), I can sometimes feel rundown by the endless hype sometimes.
