Anthem and Battlefield 2042 were the final nails in the coffin for me getting hyped for games before release. These games had incredible marketing and trailers that didn't at all resemble what we got with the final product. I don't even trust the initial reviews on most games, because now developers will scam the playerbase by holding off on predatory monitization schemes until after the release reviews go out.

So yeah, I don't pay any attention to release dates or marketing for games anymore. I will judge games solely on how good they are when the fully release, regardless of how long they were in development.
