That list is so stupid. Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 isn't on there? Nor is Battlefield 3? OR Skyrim?
Those ARE the most overhyped games. And they're not even good.
Critics are a joke and the sad thing is a lot of people take their word as gospel.
why are those 3 games overhyped? because they advertised? because people buzzed about them in anticipation on forums? Or because of certain things the devs said before release? i do not think advertisement is overhyping, companies are trying to sell their game after all. Personally i did not hear anything about these games other than the ads that were out.
When i think of 'overhyping' with DA2 the 'awesome button' amongst other comments come to mind, before its release the game was built up to be something incredible, but that did not meet my own and many others expectations, hence i would say it was overhyped. Ive only played Skyrim out of the 3, while i do find flaws in it, it met my expectations so no i would not say it was overhyped. whilst YOU may not think its good, i would disagree.
Sure, advertising can help with hype, but wait, did I say 'because they advertised?' I'm pretty sure I didn't. Let me check my quote. Oh geez. No I didn't. If you must know, I frequent multiple gaming forums and websites, have pretty much nothing but gamer friends, and my girlfriend works at Gamestop and tells me about every customer that walks in because she can't help herself.
Unless you were living under a rock, then it should be pretty obvious the most talked about games were Call of Duty MW3, Skyrim, and Battlefield 3. The only other game I can think of that was talked about quite a bit in comparison was Skyward Sword.
So that should get the hype out of the way, yes? We can agree those games were hyped at the very least?
Now let's a take a look at I don't know, IGN's website and do a search on Skyrim and the number of people who have had issues with the game so far. You'll see at least 3 editorial articles referencing a coming patch to fix the large number of problems as well. There are have been numerous people complaining about high-end PCs not playing the game at all. PS3 having numerous problems. I play it on the 360 and it has numerous coding and basic game issues myself as witness. I would definitely say a game that is riddled with problems is disappointing. So yes, you're allowed to disagree with me, but that's your opinion as much as that can be disappointing sometimes.
Battlefield 3? From what my girlfriend says at gamestop and from what I've read from a bunch of other players, the Campaign was a disappointment. Like not the, 'well it could've been better' disappointment, but more along the lines of, 'why did i buy this?' disappointment. It's supposedly short and uninteresting? But I haven't played it. It's just what I hear. This game has had a crazy amount of returns at Gamestop.
Call of Duty: MW3? A game that outsold any form of media in any avenue ever. A game that uses the same engine and from what I hear no updated graphics (seems to be true from videos and pics). The gameplay doesn't really add much. Let's just say it ~ it's basically the first Modern Warfare with an expansion pack. And ask the people who play it, I'm sure they'll agree with that because everyone big-time Call of Duty player who I talk to who love it tell me just that.
But does any of this stuff matter to you? No, not at all. You care because I discredited one of your favorite games, and because you liked it, it could never have been 'overhyped.'
