From Xfire: "Hyping up a video game is normal. It's the publisher's job to handle the marketing and release of the game. The better they are at handling that end, the more likely they will recoup the money they invested towards the development of the game. Unfortunately, publishers tend to overdo their job, overselling the game so that it commands the audience's attention to drive sales."
The GTA 5 Agent Trevor DLC episode could have been a real treat for fans on PlayStation and Xbox, before it was scrubbed sometime before 2017.
With the amount of money they generated, I just don’t understand the scrubbing of this. It would’ve been fantastic for fans.
I really want to know who drove the decision to focus on multiplayer was it Rockstar or take two.
Because when online started taking off many of the studio leads began having falling outs and leading including a founder
One of the reason I believe once gta 6 release, most of us thoroughly play it, enjoy the world they crafted then after that no offline support, no dlc at all
Blizzard Entertainment has announced the opening of beta registrations for “World of Warcraft: The War Within,” inviting players to explore new subterranean worlds beneath Azeroth.
Grand Theft Auto V was released on PC on the 14th of April 2015. That means the game will be nine years old in four days, and it’s still among the most-played titles on Steam. With a 24-hour peak of 145K players, it’s as popular as Baldur’s Gate 3, Apex: Legends, and Destiny 2.
You mean hyped games that lived up to expectation. If it’s overhyped, it didn’t meet it
I’d also argue diablo 2. Even though it’s an old game
God of War. I wasn’t sold on the new direction and thought the hype was lame. It ended up being my favorite game in a long time.
Same with the last of us 2. I thought the first was alright but I didn’t agree with general consensus that it’s the greatest game ever made. I didn’t have much expectation for the sequel and wrote off the hype as typical fanboy shit. It blew my expectations out of the water and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
It’s sad that this list consists of mostly PlayStation games. This shows that PlayStation studio’s are on another level from most other game studio’s in the industry.
Bit of an oddly worded title?
A game can not be overhyped and at the same time meeting the expectations?
On topic, some great games in this list
