It can be a movie, a scientific discovery, food, whatever
The Nintendo Switch when it came out. I was super hyped and somehow the console even exceeded my expectations.
Playing Breath of the Wild for the first time was amazing and even after 6 years the console still feels modern to me.
- The Lord of the Rings trilogy
- The Harry Potter books and films
Spiderman: Across the Spiderverse
way exceeded the hype
Tears of the Kingdom. A sequel to a game that swept the floor with all game awards that took 7 years, and it is getting nothing but glowing reviews.
Worth every day of the wait!
The Steam Deck. Awesome, awesome device.
Bluetooth earbuds. Took me the longest time to buy a pair. Now I have them all the time.
Sammmme. I was so against having to charge headphones to listen to them. No idea they would last as long as they did on one charge and my god do they perform well.
Maybe a hot take, but Cyberpunk 2077. I didn’t experience most of the bugs people complained about and I loved almost everything about the game and world. It’s also only gotten better as they’ve patched it.
For me, it could never live up to the hype. But I am glad some people have enjoyed it so much and it has come a hell of a long way since release. I’ve been playing recently but going to wait for the new DLC and restart.
Smartphones.
