Was this how people who didn't care about Baldur's Gate 3 or Elden Ring felt when I was losing my shit over those games? When a release date was finally announced for Hollow Knight: Silksong and the memetic hype surrounding the long-awaited sequel reached a fever pitch, I felt the mild excitement and interest I had for the game curdle. Everyone is being so goddamn annoying.
Last Thursday, with Steam buckling and Silksong on everybody's lips, I was at the nadir of my excitement, predicting a sea of perfect 10s that would look embarrassing in a year's time. It seemed like it could be one of those games where, once everything dies down, the consensus becomes "Yeah, it was pretty good, but we all got way too worked up about it." The Bioshock: Infinite special.
