9 Over-Hyped Video Games You Were Always Going To Hate

2. Destiny

You have to look at the likes of Pokémon GO, which rather uniquely, released out of nowhere - literally, Niantic just turned on their severs overnight and with no trailers or hype whatsoever, and it dominated the public sphere for a solid month.

Maybe, maybe, just releasing your game without doing the hype-dance is better in the long run?

Because look at Destiny. It's no surprise that Bungie dropped the ball when it came to content, but many players didn't want to champion its exquisite combat or level design - they were too busy complaining it wasn't 'the next Halo'.

Perhaps if we approach games from the ground-up and discover their features, instead of going in with lofty expectations and the need to slice them off when things don't match up, it'd be better for everyone?

Imagine not knowing much about Destiny other than 'Bungie are making another shooter'. Would you still have been as p*ssed at launch?
