Oooorrrr because some of us have already seen enough to know they'll enjoy the game. Which I have.
Dang people having secret access to the game.
No more access than you, m'fellow. Screenshots, video, all public, most brought up in this thread.
How come when "I" say that I "won't" like a game long in advance I get shot down... but when you do it for a game you like everyone is going to be on your side? ohhh yes... Hype.
More because a negative position elicits a negative reaction... that, and you're implying that the folks that are excited are incapable of video game risk assessment despite many of us having many years of experience with that
I guess if you equate excitement to hype, you're right. People are excited, anticipatory, because previous experience has shown that the kind of signs that SB's putting out, well, has a high chance of paying out beautifully, or at least sufficiently so, and we're willing to downplay your warnings because of that.
Every one of us happy people are 110% aware that it could turn out badly, though. But... what more are you asking for than that? We can be and are aware of the risk and still capable of being giddy about what's coming out. Is that so bad?
Though again... if you'd rather be particularly wary about things, that's cool. I, at least, am not so much shooting you down as respectfully disagreeing and clarifying the why of that. I dig your position, especially with the little bite from Terraria and how modern video game advertising and pre-release information dissemination has a nasty tendency to play out. So carry on Neo, carry on. Just expect us to carry on, too
