It seems that when I get really hyped about a game there always comes a point where I actually start losing the excitement before release. It was like this with Grand Theft Auto 4 & 5, Borderlands 2, and now Fallout 4. My problem is that I get so excited about a game before release that everyday I watch youtube videos, read articles, and read forums. About a month out of release I am tired of all the infomation and I lose the excitement and the thrill. It has now happened to Fallout 4. I have watched and rewatched the E3 video countless times, scan mulitiple forums, and watch the same youtube videos over and over again. Time to take a break and sit back and just wait patiently. My excitment will return, but right now I'm burnt out!

I dunno. I was more hyped for NV, but that was simply because they released more info for that game. Just avoid NoMutantsAllowed, those guys just hate everything.

hell no, all this mysteries have me super hype, and then i find out SC LotV come out same day, so i cant get burn out, when i will try to split my small time between 2 games lol.

A small healthy dose of continuous Fallout 3 replay seems to be the right medicine for the wait (since Fallout Shelter is DEAD )!

I've been pacing myself carefully to avoid this. Play a little New Vegas here and there, a little FO2, read a little speculation now and then, but never completely dump all the info.

Extremely excited about this game. Dont know how BGS could increase it.

Give them a week or two....

Burn out?

Play something else.

I plan to complete Assassin's Creed Syndicate and Rise of the Tomb Raider before I get to Fallout 4. Happy times.

Perhaps you should go dark for F4 info OP. In the mean time until launch, find something to occupy your time. Films, non fallout games, books, and non gaming hobbies are all things I turn to to take my mind off the wait.

Burn out? Nah. I do however sometimes let my pessimism get the better of me and I start wondering if this game will crash and burn.

Same here, but it goes away quickly.

You have to learn how to control you're own hype. Obviously kind of hard if you're really excited for something.. but as you've stated, you lose your own momentum. Sometimes you have to take a break from excitement and actively bore yourself with some other diversion. Easiest way I've found is just play a game you've already played a thousand times before. It's a good distraction as you're not really getting involved in anything but it gives you something to do. Another good way is to binge watch a familiar old t.v. show you really like.

Hyped but worried. Did the same thing with FONV.

Tired of what information? Compared to other games, BGS is rather tight-lipped about FO4!

I like how BGS is handling it so far. Announcement in June with release date in November, some S.P.E.C.I.A.L videos and overall not releasing any new game play footage since E3. PC specs just came out today. I stayed interested because I'm playing FO3 and FONV right now to reacquaint myself with the Wasteland.

If anything, the PC specs requiring 64-bit OS just made me even more hyped. Considering how awesome my modded Skyrim looks and plays, I am drooling at possibility the new 64-bit engine bring to the modding scene. I can't wait to upgrade my GPU and bring the PC and game engine to its knees with mods.

You know I have actually skipped this - but it really seems to be the answer to the long hardware threads for Skyrim... Time will tell. However, back to my Dishonored playtrough:-)

I hear this for sure. Unless there is a steady stream (within reason) of new content being released and shown, I do get a bit disinterested. I actually really like that BGS isn't releasing more details though. The only thing worse than becoming a bit de-hyped before the game comes out is seeing so much about the game that you don't have any shock value when the game itself comes out. This happened with the Witcher, which was a great game, but I saw every bad guy and several main plot sequences to where I was never shocked when I saw a new enemy in the game.

I'm incredibly stoic in regards to Fallout 4; I'm authentically expecting to hate it as a Fallout game, and for it be passable but an ultimately tawdry experience.

There's nothing like virulent skepticism to abate ones hype

Not really sure how you could lose excitement. Sounds like you are obsessing a bit too much since there really isn't a lot of info available. Just a broad outlook of what the game is and really nothing else/

Not 'everything'.

I was never hyped to begin with, I just wanted the whole waiting period to be over with so that I could see what direction Bethesda is taking Fallout in. And the more I learn about Fallout 4 the more loathsome I grow. I can see where OP is coming from though, not that I'd say hype is ever a good thing in the first place.

Meh for me it's the opposite.

Theirs no getting offa this hype train I'm on! WHOOWHOO!

I'm hyped for this game. But really, with thousands of hours on F3 and almost as many on NV, and many more just on the horizon, how can I not be excited for more?
I'm also not holding it to some impossible standard.
It's gonna have warts. You can't make a game this size and not.
I feel they are confident in this game. Short announce to launch says they are. Enough that they aren't stoking the boiler furnace on the hype train with a breakdown on everything about the game.

I really like the new system, making attributes the star of the show. And, while giving a gratifying reward of a perk at every level up, it doesn't seem it will wind up easily being OP, like F3's perks ultimately became.

The key is to look forward to it, but not obsess over it. Try other activities and limit your Fallout 4 info searches to one or two 10 minute sessions a day

Basically just go about your day more or less as if Fallout 4 didn't exist and wasn't coming, until it's actually here.

We wouldn't be fans if we weren't fanatical about it. There is nothing wrong about being a fanatic about something you enjoy since a fanatic is someone that expresses excessive zeal over something. If you are screaming that Fallout 4 is coming out in less than a month, then you are a fanatic. Of course, there are certain fanatics that give the rest a bad name like that website that was previously mentioned in this thread.

The OP is asking us for help. Nothing wrong with being a fanatic, until you feel it's not working for you, like OP is suggesting to us.

naw i have xcom2 burn out spent all day modding that game trying get my mind of it fallout is in back of my skull still have halo5 too play and end of this month so im golden

if anything fallout could come out later and wouldn't affect me Atm . also my new pc build might not be functional on release day so i guess i already accepted that it might be awhile till i get to play it. and i need new pc bad i almost have to restart this pc every hour to prevent it from crashing lol.
