It's like this:
Tonnes of hype pre-officialness can lead to disappointment if it doesnt meet expectations.
Pessimism pre-officialness either results in you being right, or being pleasantly surprised.
Well, if you're pessimistic about something you're usually not disappointed when things don't turn out as you envision them. On the other hand you'll be positively surprised if something good actually happens.
That being said, you're probably right that pessimism isn't as fun. Some scientists also argue that excessive pessimism is incredibly unhealthy for your mental health, but I'm rambling on again.
Well the thing is I've noticed a lot of it is forced pessimism. Like no matter how pessimistic someone is trying to act, somewhere not so deep down they are equally as excited/inevitably dissapointed as the optimistic ones.
Idk, just feel like I've seen so many posters over my years online that try and seek ways to dampen their expectations.

I don't think most people really care that much about every little taste of information.
Look at that badge, I know it's coming soon and I'm kinda curious to know what's on it but it's not like it's the most important thing in my life right now.
I have other things to worry about.
Well obviously in the grand scheme of things it's very clearly nothing, but it's something to get the community excited during a time that's been rather dry.

Yeah. The "get up, get up" part is super creepy.
I'm not. They've got to give people some incentive to get the base game.
The amount of seemingly cut content in the game is staggering. Feels really crappy.
It's still better than the awful 'dance' remixes of Now I Know and Best Friends though.
There's also the fact that some people can get super excited at stuff, but not have soul-crushing disappointment that a lot of pessimists like to imagine always happens.

The more time passes the more I realize that Persona 4 was a better experience for me than Persona 3.
I feel the same way.
P3 is an incredible game, particularly for when it was made and considering the tiny scale of it, but it's less polished and less well written, for sure.

Haha, this remix is strange but I really like it

I wonder how long this would have taken me if I'd played P3 first.
I think the same thing! I'm sure I'd've loved these games either way round, but 4 is a special game that really speaks to my childhood.
Bingo.
The last game I was super duper hyped for was GT5.
I mean, it was the first GT in a while on a then current next gen title. What I got left a very bad taste in my mouth. It wasn't a bad game per say, it's just that it had a slew of problems that held it back from being the game it could have been. (At least in my mind)
So temper you expectations; or you probably will set yourself up for some disappointment.

"Kick off" sounds pretty interesting. I'd also like to now how someone would take a pictire woth the P5 hero. Life sized carton cutout?
Why would someone be dissapointed when they have low expactations
Oh man, I can't wait!!

84X fucking nailed the front of that badge.
Dat badge.
Is the Hero you take a picture with just going to be John with a mask on? I'm fine with this if so.
Just seeing english footage is enough for me, considering the Blu-ray that's coming soon after.

Come on everybody knows Morgana dialogue is going to be a mix between Kuma / Teddie dialogue and Taokaka from Blazblue.

I am ready for this , i lost my shit if they released something besides the PV 01.
Meh ... let's see if the other guy came around here.

That "kick off" part still making me wonder ... and i want to believe like Sophia.
No. I did enjoy people saying stuff like the other side of the badge would be Legend of Legacy, though.
