THIS SHACK THREAD!
boom, balloon pops!
subtract all that hype, and it gives it a far greater chance of being hailed as a plain awesome game one of the best of its time.
With the hype..... wow what a let down. I expected it to come with a million dollars in the box (please take this literally!)
Excessive hype is nothing new, especially to the shack, but the collective shack likes to cherry pick the games that are not affected by excessive hype, simply because the hype has pushed them into extreme high level hype denial. Think paranoid schizophrenia.... ;)
I remember this game Quake 4. To me, it was a not-bad single player, but still fun as hell multiplayer, which makes it in my eyes the best modern Quake style shooter right now still. Sadly, given the space in between Quake 3 and Quake 4, excessive hype rose. Once it was released, the majority of the Quake community spat on it and called it crap, citing reasons that didn't make any sense to me whatsoever as a long time Quake fan.
"I doesn't feel right"
"no competition stuff included therefore its trash" (big wtf for me given that all previous quakes had competition stuff added via mods/COMMUNITY)
etc.
So no one plays it.
So yeah... perhaps I'm throwing a live grenade into a stadium full of c4... but I'm convinced this is what's gonna happen. In this thread, I am completely insane!
/me RUN AWAAY!!
