Or preferably: don't care about the game at all until it releases. Ignore previews or alpha demos, beta footage, gameplay trailers/teasers, etc. That way you don't build up hype that has a big chance to disappoint you. Take the game for what it is at release and either like it then or not.

That's what I do, but not until "it releases", but "it's on sale, asking not more than 15€ for a patched product with DLC". Usually at least a year.
