![]() ![]() ![]() An open-world exploration and building game where you fight weird-ass monsters with modern tech in a post-apocalyptic environment? Where magic and science mix and dreams and reality intertwine? Hey, what’s this? There’s still a want to believe, though, especially when something seems tailor-made to fit your tastes. I personally am at the point where I don’t care how pretty a trailer is if there’s no actual gameplay shown, and even then see above in terms of having to be skeptical if it’s truly actual gameplay. The gaming industry has pulled some really nasty tricks over the years like having someone on a stage pretending to play a game on the screen “live” when it’s really just curated and pre-rendered footage that ends up never making it to release. Sometimes the hype gets out of control on the user end, but hype is certainly an age old tactic to sell people on something, precisely because you turn your brain off and reach for your wallet. In video game circles we had the debacle of Cyberpunk 2077‘s original release in 2020, and more recently the disparity of promises versus reality in Bethesda’s Starfield. Disappointment after lofty hype can be a harsh fall, and if you’re old enough to remember waiting in line for the premiere of Phantom Menace you may know what I’m talking about. Getting caught up in hype can drown your brain in so much excitement that your critical functions submerge in a sea of serotonin, and before you know it you’ve invested your time, money, and perhaps even emotional well-being in something that could very well fail to meet your expectations.
