A lot of RPG lovers are jaded veterans that have a hard time to feel excited about anything, possibly me included. It's not a thing unique to RPGWatch, it's just the way it is, because RPGs are a special kind of game that usually draws interest from a more intellectual crowd, more critic and harder to please while for example you can make the same FIFA as last year, copy/paste everything save for updating the player names to take into account new acquisitions in each team, and your target audience will be drooling happily and clapping with their ears.
I mean, you just have to see how a Baldur's Gate game is being made, so loved and highly anticipated for 20 years, developed by the most successful RPG makers of this generation, and yet it is getting all kinds of flak and skepticism.
The fact that Obisidian can't hype a RPG crowd is their own doing too. Opinions aside, PoE sold badly, Tyranny was meh, and The Outer Worlds was a standard piece of mediocrity where the whole plot was the most asinine cliche "corps are dumb and mean". I mean, really? I think people will be more excited once they can see some actual gameplay, for now, like most here, I'll withhold judgement with low to moderate expectations.
