While excitement and anticipation for a new game are natural, overhyping can be detrimental to the overall experience. When expectations become too inflated, the actual game might struggle to meet them, leading to disappointment among players. Overhyping can create unrealistic assumptions about gameplay, graphics, and features, which can result in players feeling let down even if the game is objectively good. It’s important to maintain a balanced perspective, allowing the game to be enjoyed for what it is rather than what it was overhyped to be.
I have been un-hyping myself ever since that Xbox Showcase. The things Todd said gave me awful Sean Murray/NMS flashbacks

I expect Starfield will be beautiful and have tons to do and see, but I’m greatly tempering my seamless exploration expectations. I’m sure the planet cells will be large and many pretty neat but you aren’t going to hop into your ship, point at a moon, and blast off. There will be navigation and loading screens.
