Overhyped

A small exhibit of what goes around in the mind of a gamer who is really looking forward to the release of an upcoming title

As a bit of an introvert, you tend to get excited about things that people around you might not understand. You don’t have the same interests as they do but that’s alright because you’re happy inside the space you’ve created. Video games are a huge part of what you are, the stories and worlds they involve allow you to escape this boring and sometimes difficult reality and experience something different every once in a while.

And even among those, there are some that still hold a special place in your heart and that you consider unique because you formed a special bond with their worlds and characters. Those are known as franchises, something like a series if we were talking about TV shows, yet not so specific.

So every time your beloved franchise announces something new, you hold your breath in anticipation thinking about what sort of exciting new journeys it might take you on or what sort of enticing new characters it’ll allow you to meet. Every sliver of information is enough to keep you going. From the moment the next installment to your favorite franchise is announced, you begin to think about what it might look or play like in your head.
