Frankly my hype level has dropped through the floor.

Yea this is pretty much true. The Division is a good example of this phenomenon. Watchdogs. I don’t even need to say anything there. What a disappointment.

Battlefront is not bad if you’re someone who played the old ones and was expecting a similar experience. In fact, it’s not a bad game at all compared to the previous installments. I put tons of hours into Battlefront 1 and 2 back in the day on Xbox and I thought the new Battlefront was good. Because I wasn’t expecting it to be anything at all like Battlefield. I’m a diehard BF fan, but I wasn’t expecting it to be anything like BF. In fact, I didn’t want it to be like BF.  
The problem with Battlefront is that the Battlefield community got hyped because it was DICE and they expected … I don’t know? What the hell did they expect?
