Okay.. There has been a lot mentioned of hype with this game. Let us take that to mean that hype is representation of something in only words, no action or proof. Which don't get me wrong through video clips and interviews or articles about the game there are many words and little action. That being said, through the release of an alpha test and a beta test it was in those proof that everyone began to clamor it was in those actions we all saw what we were becoming a part of. It was an intimate bare all from bungie saying "here's what we have so far. What do you think?", and in those moments after when we talked they listened, they made us a part of the game, a consultant to give direction to the final product. We then told our friends and there friends as well as strangers what this game could offer. In doing so all they had were our words and the words in interviews from bungie. We became the hype, we are the hype. So when people speak ill of this game thinking that like watchdogs which got too much hype that this one won't deserve it, I am without words to soothe them because all I have are words and they have had enough of those. The proof is in the pudding and if you have yet to taste theirs then just wait til you try it. You will be sad you doubted and even more saddened by the fact you waited so long. I'm sorry for the long post just my feelings. Good day.

  • Actually, hype is created by ones own opinions about something. It is the perception that you create based off of what you expect the final game to be. For me personally Watch Dogs and really any other games that people say are over hyped is because people went into it with overly exaggerated opinions of what they thought their experience was going to be. People nowadays listen to ads, previews, and reviews, and alot of the time take those opinions of others and hype themselves. By automatically setting the experience of what it will be at too high a level. Then when the game doesn't meet their high expectations they complain that something was over hyped. Its all on you. And what you expected. Destiny will be awesome. This his how I personally feel due to the information I've been given through interviews and beta game play. And as awesome as it will be, I know that nothing is perfect. So as long as the consumer doesn't go in expecting perfection, they won't feel that it was over hyped.
