[QUOTE="Vipera, post: 5445591, member: 333915"] I'm glad my post could be one of the reasons to write such an interesting thought. Overly-excited hype is just stupid, I 100% agree. There is good advertising and then there is just shoving ads down people's throats hoping that the game is going to be the best thing ever. But the problem is that the overly advertised "experience like never before" is... just a game. Don't get me wrong, I love games and play a lot of them, but marketing should never treat one like the best experience, because that's just not true. You don't see the same marketing for movies, music, or books. Why games then? If you over-hype something you will NEVER be able to reach the glory you just showed in your ad. Good ad campaigns don't play on insisting, but rather giving people something to remember. Something that's not a lie, possibly. In the end, how long will I play the new over-hyped game? 15, maybe 20 hours? To me, that translates to a week of gaming fun. This is why I don't like ads that keep pushing YEARS before release. I'm going to spend a week on that game, or maybe a month or two, depending how long it will be. Anything else (fanart, fan theories, fan fictions) come later, not before. Then there is the problem that, while some games get a monstrously large ad campaign, other games don't, and sometimes they are better than the AAA titles (who remembers 2008?) [/QUOTE]
