Curious to see which game generated the most hype for you over the years.
Also, did that game manage to live up to your lofty standards, or was it a disappointment.
For me, this was probably Mass Effect 3. ME2 was (and still remains) one of my favorite games ever, and I was so emotionally invested in the story that I couldn't wait to see how it ended.
In terms of execution, it was near-impossible for the game to live up to what I expected. This doesn't mean it was a disappointment by any means. Still some very heavy story moments and solid gameplay (in addition to a surprisingly addictive multiplayer). The initial ending controversy destroyed a lot of good will at first, but I believe I was being a bit too harsh on it looking back.
So what about you guys? When did you fall hard for the hype culture? And what were the results?
