It's not Bethesda's greatest game but it's not a terrible game in general. I definitely think companies need to stop over hyping their games as some groundbreaking game of the decade only to release a generic RPG.

Not really possible when your average gamer will overhype literally anything even without any marketing available. People are just stupid.

Hayao Miyazaki's latest work have no promotional marketing, hyped up by the fans, made $55million lol.

It's impossible to not overhype for Bethesda because all the hype they create will get uncontrollably inflated.

Don't forget the other Miyazaki, they literally posted a single image for an Elden Ring DLC and people have been going crazy about it for half a year.

But capitalism demands that games are overhyped. That hype will inevitably lead to more sales, and to that end it genuinely doesn't matter if the game itself lives up to it.
