Why dont games live up to their hype?

Yeah my last Hype was Destiny.
After ~90h and max Light Warlock it was only boring–>quit

I play now MMOs since 2001 and its every time the same.
New Game–>Hype–playing to max level–>boring–>new Char or quit
Good Games like DAoC(RvR) or FFXI(Jobsystem) i played over a Year,
standart Games like EQ2/WoW/Aion 4-12 Months.
Its ok for me.

The issue with early access games is they are played to DEATH in the first moments of release, its only natural people are going to get burnt out

Personally i still get a lot of enjoyment out of this game even after 400 hours play time, but none of you are even giving it a chance its JUST released have you had a look at the world map? look at all those unopened areas achievements to be had places to explore so much PvP to be had the potential is endless

If you don’t like the progression in the game so far, well its probably always going to be that way go play something else those of us left over will continue to enjoy it

EDIT : Wow i had more hours then i thought

Or you could just continue playing it and stop posting on the forums that people should stop playing something if they care enough to point out what’s wrong with it.

This is where we have a difference of opinion, there is nothing wrong with this game besides a few minor mechanic changes and some bugs the work you want is just future content, sounds like the OP has burnt himself out and is upset that there isn’t more to hold his interest when the game is just out of the gate giving a negative opinion towards any new or future players who might be reading this

There are plenty of satisfied customers i believe you are a vocal minority who want the game to be something its not
I am here to rectify that

hype is generated by art style

game sells because it looks good

~the end~

EDIT:

This falls into the bug category, and i tested this its only a visual issue

Ok I guess I forgot what I was talking to, done here :joy:

o/ hope you find a game for you

I’m still playing this game. I hope you find better ways to troll :wink:

What level and server out of curiosity?

What loli disappointed you before licker senpai?

Satisfied customers ? Yes, if you like the products you bought to be partially broken then I’ll understand. If you also like that the company that sold you this product ignores you when you call them to say it is broken then I understand.

For my part, I like the game but I’m nowhere near satisfied. Because I like that the products I buy actually WORK.

You’re saying we want the game to be something it’s not but that’s not it.
The issue is that the game is not itself yet. The game is not even a quarter complete and i’m not referring to the fact that the full game content is not yet released.

It’s obvious that the list of the problems the game has currently is huge and only about 5% of it has been partially covered by IMC ( Server Transfers , bots&gold sellers).

Name a MMO release in history, that hasn’t had a ton of bugs and problems, pro tip you couldn’t because something always almost goes incredibly wrong especially in early access it takes time and patience to solve all of it, none of which these negative complaint threads are going to fix

These people are not complaining about bugs or broken mechanics to those who are i say, chill wait it out its still early days OP is upset about the games style itself and if they don’t like the way the game is meant to be played they should be playing something else period, if you didn’t like repetitive grinding korean-esk time sink MMO’s then you shouldn’t be complaining you should move on, and let everyone else enjoy the game

First of all, any MMORPG nowadays barely live up to their hype, because players are getting neutral to any MMO live and go.
RO and WoW because that time has not many choice, MMO are pretty fresh genre and common to that generation.

Second, most ex-RO are the majority supporters on this game but they have grown old, they don’t involve that much in the game anymore or only few hours in a week, not even a day maybe after a few days hype and nostalgia.

Third, for new generation around college age 18-25 they have many other choices and not really used to such old-school game, they might also too busy in mobile games already.

Forth, the game is not attractive enough with generic contents to play long enough. The gameplay is fun but they need more creative features to make peoples wanna try out the game. Example: Multi-Party Dungeon, more C3 class quest/event/equipment/hidden skill, more challenging boss, Templar can create 10-players party and etc.

Pretty accurate, also

I’ve played many MMOs starting from early access that had very few issues.
One example is FF14. I’ve leveled up all the way to max level and did almost all the dungeons & primordials.
Personally, I had 0 issues on the early days of that game. The ping was good , the quests were working properly, the optimisation was good and all the skills worked properly.
The only reason i stopped playing is because I couldn’t afford paying monthly fees back then.
Also, I agree with OP on some points that should be tackled by IMC in the futur including challenge. When i saw the bosses on the trailer, I thought they would have special mechanics, avoid area of effects that makes it challenging to kill. But Atm, all you have to do (if you’re squichy) is go out of the red zone and come back when the skills is done to hit the boss.
But, these things are not the priority since there is much that has to be fixed before adding content or enhancing the existing one.

SPOILER ALERT!

Nothing ever lives up to the hype…

Anyway, one thing that caught my eye me from this rant was when you said “just like that OTHER guy said”. First of all, the “not living up to their hype” thing is because you tend to fall in love based on other people’s words and praises towards a certain thing. Watching the trailers that put the game on a pedestal of greatness is something you should take in with a grain of salt because trailers are made for the purpose of making the thing sell.

Play the game yourself, be that guy who is 280 and ranting, not the guy who puts himself/" herself" on the shoes of someone who is 280.

I played FFXIV on release too, and i had so many issues mail not sending properly quests bugging out, my class wouldn’t change

You realize FFXIV:ARR was a re release of the same game on the same engine, that was incredibly buggy and so broken that they had to scratch the entire thing turn off all the servers and develop it more and then release it again
its also been in development since 2005, compare that to ToS development timeline

They had two whole games to get it right so i would hope problems would be minimal
