I try not to get hyped about games any more. I play them, I enjoy them and I move on. Many people, though, follow every single detail about a game in the run up to launch; devouring every screenshot, watching every video and reading every single preview in the hope to learn everything about the game (even before it comes out!) I like to think that this is a trait associated with those who are a little bit younger who can’t quite control their excitement, but many older people too go balls deep trying to learn about the game pre-release. The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt is no exception; so many people are desperate to pick apart every single detail that it’s almost depressing.

The game is out in just a couple of days and I will be buying it. I won’t rush to a midnight launch, I won’t be charging to my nearest shop first thing in the morning either. I will take my time, go when I have time and play it when I have time. That’s the way to enjoy something; no disappointment at getting carried away or expecting too much.
