This reverse hype stuff is stupid.

I'm tired of people denying ownage on a flop because they collectivly lowered their hype. Conveniently enough, the hype gets lowered after bad previews. This is nothing but a way of covering your own ass. For example, the highest I remember Lair being hyped was AA. Not long after a few previews the hype dropped and now cows say it wasn't a flop because they stopped hyping it. I say once an official hype is determined it stays set in stone no matter what news comes. A flop is flop, there's no dodging it.

EDIT: fixed typo

I heard Lair hyped as AAA consistently. Every PS3 owner said "who cares about not having stranglehold on time or bioshock at all, we have lair" and now it is a bomb, and they need to take a facefull of ownage. Not that it will, but if by some freak accident MGS4 dakitana'd, I think the PS3 would actually die.

Cows will probably be gone for a month after the heavenly sword review and halo 3 release.
