When was the last time you were this excited?

Im giddy. Guild Wars 2 will finally be playable in like 4 hours (for me). The last time I felt this excited about a game was 1995 when Chrono Trigger was released for the Super Nintendo. I remember reading my Electronic Gaming Monthly to get all the details and locals. Story by Dragon Quest creator, Music by Final Fantasy music creator, and Art work by (one of my favorite artists) Akira Toriyama of Dragon Ball Z fame. It was the trifecta!
Actually playing it? Lived up to everything I expected. It was a phenomenal RPG and now that I think about it, actually changed the RPG genre for back then. Though it was still turn-based and utilized the action time bar, battles appeared on screen and had small cinematics. Also had the "TECH" system where two characters could combine their powers for a single master attack.
Guild Wars 2 strums up those same feelings.
For those who feel the same, when was the last game that made you feel that way?
I Am Gamer. Play. Forever.

I was this excited when I bought my new shoe a few days ago.
But for a game, I was semi-excited when TERA was coming out for OB (I skipped class just to attempt to get in asap) except they had some major issues with regards to connecting to the gateway and then the client would self-crash. End up going to my next class and losing interest.
GW2 is getting me pumped however, I'm in no rush to compete with others this time, instead I want to build the perfect character for me and experience a dynamic world with possibly some WvW inbetween.
Cheers!

Age of Conan...
*sighs* That could have been so much more. Never was the type to be hyped for a game til then and it crashed and fizzled on me. Met some great people though so I can regret my time there. Hopefully this will fulfill me in the ways my mmo gaming has been severely lacking as of late.
Mmhh let me try to remember...
Maybe it was just before logging in Age of Conan beta for the first time. The exitement dropped quickly when I realized that past level 20, when you left Tortage, the game was a major turd.
Since then, I don't let the hype get me. I'm calm, drinking a beer while sorting some papers for my work.
Respect, walk
Are you talkin' to me? Are you talkin' to me?

I bought AoC - I think that's the only MMOG I've bought recently. I was a big conan fan, though, and wanted to see the hyper-realistic graphics. I wasn't all that excited about it, because I knew it was really just more of the same kind of game I left behind when I quit WoW. I really had pretty much given up on any truly different MMOG design by any AAA developer until I saw the ANET Manifesto. At that point, I really only had hope.
After all the reviews and videos, though, I think this is THE ONE. For me, anyway. I can't even play the other non-MMO games I have right now because I'm so ... (wait for it) .... hyped!
Beta starts at noon PST, 3pm EST (I'm in EST and can't wait).

I'm ashamed to admit this but the SWTOR beta. After a few hours though, I was incredibly disappointed and wanted to cancel my pre-order. The whole thing reeked of gear grind same old fare. It actually made me miss WoW lol. I figured why play a much crappier clone of WoW when I can just play WoW. I re-subbed to WoW for a couple months after that and that was actually when I started looking into GW2. Read the manifesto, watched a one hour dev conference video, and fell in love with GW2. I can say that after having watched a ton of videos, especially the yogscast vids, I truly believe that this game will change MMOs for the better and for a long time to come. I don't understand how people can be excited about Tera at this point but to each his own. I know where I'll be spending my time in games, and that's in Tyria.

Nearly word for word, I could not have said this better. But replace Zelda with me purchasing my very first self earned NES + Super Mario Bros.
I do infact remember being pretty darn excited for "Tie Fighter" back in the 90's but aside from that I've not had a game give me so much excitement as GW2 has. They have proven that nearly all the promises they have made have been tested within the game and we'll see for ourselves this weekend.
Even if it doesn't meet up to what was promised, which it will, but even if it doesn't the fact they were made has already started changing the minds of gamers into thinking and wanting better games.
This is exactly what was going through my head. Man, I can't wait for next weekend.
I want a mmorpg where people have gone through misery, have gone through school stuff and actually have had sex even. -sagil
