Welp. I am in the thought that the "hype yourself but not too much" has legitimacy to it.
If you go in expecting too little from something and nothing happens, you'll get what you expect and be done with it.
But if you go expecting too much from something and nothing happens, there'll be disappointment, sadness, anger and confusion.
In other words, both are valid but it's mostly on outside matters which are what makes one of these two difficult.
Do/think what you want BUT CONSIDER what could happen and what could lead from that.
Although, from what I saw on this page or the previous ones, puts it quite eloquently:
"THE GENO FANBASE GETS **** ON NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS."
So, at that point just do what you feel fits you better. But be wary of some places and opinions if you get easily upset.
