I think this is reason why we're always disappointed with these games. We just follow them for months and months, firstly get excited about the features, then from previews we start building up in our heads how the game will play, then one individual will get some hands on, and the hype reaches boiling point, we think we have the best game that's ever come out.
It's always the same, I know I should stay away from these boards pre-release, but I can't it's an addiction.
I think this is termed parasympathetic system exhaustion or better know as stress. This can easily turn over to derpression if the exhaustion continues over a long period of time. So if you really want this game and you've pre-ordered it and the delivery company botches the delivery soon you will become depressed.....
Now, what happens with getting exited about the features, and then the building "in our heads" and subsequesntly the hype reaching boiling point is that the underlying low level anxiety that is created by all of this starts releasing endorphins into our systems. If for some reason the game you receive can't create the same buzz that this low level anxiety did (but remember if this anxiety continues without the game +depression) then you get what is termed dissapointment, experienced as a come down (ask any clubber - not the seal cluubbing kind). I doubt that we will get to this point. Well maybe about one or two things.
When this game comes out I am sure we will see a lot of ranting and raving about this not being right and that not being right but meanwhile, back at the ranch as they say we'll be holed up behind our screens screaming at it in what is termed as pure exitement with no sign of depression, and replacing one addiction with another. for another year until the releasae R2007 with added features like a rucking system etc [/b]
