Its hard not to build up hype for video games before theyre even released or in some cases before weve 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, were simply trying to be wishful and positive towards titles that instantly resonate with us.
