I am skipping buying over-hyped games. What about everyone else. ??

[Cockroach]

I am not buying BioMutant.

Next game I am probably going to buy is Kena: Bridge of Spirits.. but its not for sale on steam. That is disappointing.

I just skip over games that don't interest me. I don't care if a new game is over-hyped or not. If it looks like fun, i'm buying it.

Yeh but games like Biomutant are wayyyy too over-hyped.

Hard to get hyped about anything these days. Patterns repeating through the decades. Hype is a young persons game.

[Harry Gumdropzap]

i wouldnt skip games just because of hype, form an opinion for yourself so you can have your own expectations

you can buy that kena game on epic games and just add it as a non-steam game

People were saying No-Man's Sky was over-hyped back in the day and look at it now. I do my own research into a game before buying it. If everyone else and their dog are hyped about it doesn't matter to me.

I don't think i ever bought an overhyped game aside Skyrim.

Not really.

Many have been waiting for a Fable style game since Fable and Biomutant may be that game.

Browsed Gamersgate a bit. My brother still has some leftover blue coins.. But nothing really interests me. Ni No Kuni perhaps, but yeah. Guess gaming doesn't interest me anymore, haha. Or the market is just too saturated for me and I get choice-stress. Cause I not see the wood for the trees anymore

I didn't buy into the Cyberpunk hype, and I'm glad.

I did, on the other hand, buy No Man's Sky on day one, and still don't regret it. But I always tell people that I didn't get "lied" to or overhyped, and it's true: I never watched a single press conference or video, apart from the initial announcement years before it came out.

I don't understand why anyone would want to follow a game's development so closely that by the time the game comes out, there is no sense of wonder, no surprises, and you've even watched all the game sites' "Here are 20 minutes of in-game gameplay footage from Super Game X!"

I like to go into a game blind. I can't imagine that Morrowind or Oblivion or Skyrim would have given me any sense of wonder or awe at all if I had watched a hundred videos in the years leading up to their release. And I like that sense of exploring something completely unknown.

I will probably buy Biomutant, but not on day one. I've only read a couple of articles, and I've watched a total of two videos, and then decided I wanted it, and simultaneously decided to stop watching videos about it.

That's how I roll, anyway. /rant off

I generally don't jump on anything that's 'hyped' until it goes on sale (in most cases 6 months to a year later). By then there's plenty of reviews to consider (if I feel like I need to consult them), or word-of-mouth gives it a or a

BIOMUTANT actually looks interesting, although I haven't seen a review yet.

While it's "Open World", which I generally treat as a big no-no, the overall design might very well be able to offset that. Also, while they are advertising as "post-apocalyptic", they actually use colors other than brown and grey.

I don't buy games based upon how hype everyone makes it to be. I buy games if its interesting to me.

I skip over buying over-hyped anything....

Always have.
It ends with the same song-and-dance every time:

- Publisher over-promises.
- Devs are over-worked to meet impossible deadlines.
- Game is rushed out because consumers are throwing hissy fits at it taking too long to release.
- Consumers are surprised that the game they demanded to release sooner than planned is in fact, not finished. Who'da thunk it?

Repeat 100 more times and people are still surprised at the end result.
