PSA: Have you remembered not to overhype yourself? (self.starfield)

While excitement and anticipation for a new game are natural, overhyping can be detrimental to the overall experience. When expectations become too inflated, the actual game might struggle to meet them, leading to disappointment among players. Overhyping can create unrealistic assumptions about gameplay, graphics, and features, which can result in players feeling let down even if the game is objectively good. It's important to maintain a balanced perspective, allowing the game to be enjoyed for what it is rather than what it was overhyped to be.

We'll see how Starfield turns out. I'll wait and see what this game looks like and make a decision after watching YouTube videos and reading reviews. Bethesda isn't an automatic buy anymore for me.

Alright. Do you avoid buying Bethesda games very early because of your experience with FO76? I never played it because its MMO but heard both good and bad comments about it.

Yes. I generally avoid most games on release day and wait for reviews. Some time ago, I stopped preordering, too, ever since No Man's Sky.

Maybe it's an awesome game and my worries unfounded. More great stuff to play is always good :)
