I googled it up out of minor curiosity, and apparently Horizon Zero Dawn (First time I heard of it, shows how much I give a shit about gaming these days) is the 2nd best selling game on the PS4 thus far. Not that it matters much since Sony hasn't turned in a profit for fuck knows how long and they're only still afloat thanks to sweet gibs from the Japanese government.Kugelfisch wrote: ↑Tue Jun 13, 2017 12:40 amHype is a social construct.
Remember how people were losing their shit about that game where you play that red-haired dreadlock bitch hunting cyber dinosaurs or something? What did it end up? A dead fish. You don't even hear about it, hence why I don't remember the name at all. Something Horizons or some shit like that.
As Seele pointed out: Every. Fucking. Time.
E3 used to be very good up until the mid-2000s. It's a rather striking coincidence that, much like a whole lot of other things, E3 started to circle the drain in the same year that the curse of JewTube was bestowed upon humanity.
Gaming "culture" as a whole is for the most part cultivated by and for autistic trenders from reddit, neogaf and etc. who still live with their parents in their mid twenties. Casually enjoying and discussing games anywhere at any time is nigh impossible, because one can't express a relatively harmless opinion without some Nintenyearold or Sonygger crying bloody murder because their precious feelings were hurt, because god forbid casuals not being overly emotionally attached to vidya at all times. It's not even just typical fanboyism; it's plain and unbridled mental illness.
