My guilty pleasure...and man, are people gonna flame me for this...is the "Warriors" games. That's right. I LIKE Dynasty Warriors, Samurai Warriors, and Warriors Orochi. I don't know why. I just have a thing for being a loot and leveling whore! = (
As for hype that I don't understand, I absolutely understand why a lot of the "hyped" games get the hype. I could use this as a moment to rag on games that everyone but me seems to enjoy, like Gears or Halo 3 or Oblivion or Soul Calibur. However, I won't...because this is a question about "hype". The one game that I don't understand the "hype" around is Fable II. There is a solid reason for this, so hear me out before you flame and bash:
Fable II has this hype to be this incredible and amazing game, very much the "coming of the Messiah" type of hype we see all the time. The first game got fairly good reviews, but there were such HUGE criticisms about the game - what was promised and what it lacked of those promises. Molyneux has done this with almost every game, and it just surprises me that there is SOOOOO much hype around Fable II...even with people knowing what the first game lacked. Count into that the thinned-out pre-order package, the lack of online co-op at launch, and all this other stuff...and I would think the hype would have lowered some, but people are just getting crazier about it. It's so weird.
