Speaking from experience - don't believe hype
Also...

Potential is one thing - hype is another. And there are just as many games that have had great potential for only to end up, as a mediocre game, as well as there are games with magnificent screenshots - that also were only mediocre games (or bad).

I did the same thing with Neverwinter Nights - the game where *I* fell for the hype - and oh, man - I was disappointed when the game was released, and was nothing as the hype has suggested. That will never happen again from my side
Now I’m wary of to much hype, and generally see it as a bad thing

Heed Fables advice (on Fable ) well ..... Hype is bad and only works for the developers/publishers, and base opinions on cold hard facts (which can be hard when in production).
