Hype And the Gaming Experience
It seems I've got the short end of the stick. What would normally start as unbridled enthusiasm and hopeful optimism snowballs into crazed expectations, resulting in the entire experience careening off into crushing disappointment. No, I am not describing my performance in bed (which is just fine, thank you very much), but rather, my experiences when faced with upcoming games: Assassin's Creed 3, Hitman: Absolution, The War Z, etc. All these games filled me with burning optimism, and all these games led me straight into crushing disappointment. I'm an optimist, and being one in the world of video games is a serious handicap.
