It€™s hard not to build up hype for video games before they€™re even released or in some cases before we€™ve actually even seen gameplay footage. Sometimes those meticulously crafted CGI trailers are enough to sucker us into a product, which is probably a very bad habit in retrospective but realistically, we€™re simply trying to be wishful and positive towards titles that instantly resonate with us.
