I believe so, it did it to Assassin's Creed to me. I was so hyped for that game, and it turned out to be a borefest for me.

Halo 3, Gears of War 2 and Grand Theft Auto IV are games of high quality. I don't really grasp the meaning of this topic.

Hype? No. Bad marketing and false / fuzzy advertisement? Yes.

Thats opinion mate.

I did'nt play the two first halo's but I decided to give the third a whirl since it was supposed to be godly. All I found was an average shooter that I did'nt bother completing. I might have been more forgiving if I had'nt expected an fps revolution.

Hype killed Halo 3 for me.

You didn't play Halo 1 and 2, those are way better than Halo 3, trust me, I played them.

That is because you were looking at it the wrong way, Halo 1 was the revolution, the reason Halo 3 didn't seem revolutionary to you is because most console FPS since the orignal has used the halo formula, it didn't copy other games, they copied it, so of course it wasn't going to be mind blowing

I heard GTA4 was great Spore was made by the creator of Sims, and was hyped as a hardcore open-ended strategy game -- what did you expect? Lair lied to all of us Too Human was hyped because fanboys couldn't see how boring the gameplay videos actually were Gears 2 hype didn't kill it, it delivered

I mean, its the same like watching to many trailers for a movie you've waited for a long time...chances are in the trailers they put most of the cool parts and stuff that would've been "mind-blowing".

Yes, it raises expectations and when devs fail to meet those uber standards ppl will be dissappointed.
