A good way to minimize expectations about a new release is to not read through every post in the news topics as well! I know this is a weird thing to say on an internet forum XD, but when I only read up on posts containing information and ignored the rest for quite a few recent releases, I didn't get influenced by all the posts already praising it in the heavens, or all the posts that hated it from the get-go, or all the criticism about the covers and the promotion, and all the overly positive "AWESOME" posts. I mean, sometimes it's nice, but they do mess with the way you yourself view a product.
Anyway, I loved this release, and then when I checked back most people hated it. I'm pretty sure that if I had read through the topic I would've been much more negatively inclined towards the release...
