The power of hype is borderless

[–] NegativeLookBehind@kbin.social 22 points 10 months ago (2 children)

When it’s just hype alone, games end up getting destroyed with bad reviews. If a game is hyped up and is actually good, that’s different, isn’t it?

People are loving the concept, but I've heard the game itself is pretty meh

[–] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

If a game lives up to the hype, it's not hype. It's recognition.

All my friends and I never heard of this game until it came to early access. We weren't hyped at all more surprised. Plus I want to play it before Nintendo tries to sue. I know they have no right to but it's Nintendo, they'll probably try

Careful of accusing Nintendo of being litigious, they might sue you for damaging their rep.

That’s called hype 🤗

[–] Secret300@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

Nah I thought hype was like being excited for something to be. As far as I know most people weren't excited for it before it released

Hopefully they don’t pull a TemTem
