The last time I was this excited for a new game release..

Question

..was Diablo 2 back in 2000. I'd check diabloii.net many times a day for new info, grinded the hell out of the open beta (level 17 going no farther than Blood Raven?!), and couldn't enjoy any other games the last couple months before launch.

I looked forward to D3, WoW, Siege, CS:Source, Gran Turismo 3, and many others.. But comparing to the loss of sleep and lack of interest in other games that D2 did to me hasn't happened until The Division going all the way back to 2013 E3.

What was the last game you were this excited about for release?

Cs Source was great, Cs go went all hipster skin cash grab where people care more for the skins that actual game. Anyways how can u make a list and not include Half life 2, blasphemy.

Apologies, but I'm not much of a sci-fi fan, so while I bought HL2 at launch and enjoyed it.. I wasn't virtually dying for release.. Unlike D2 and The Division. :-)

I'll probably sound stupid but mine was Skyforge. lmao. Then it was Warframe after that when I quit. Then I was still playing Warframe when I came across a Division video about last week and it caused me to completely stop warframe. Now I can't fcking wait srsly. TD has ruined my Warframe experience, but that's a good thing. Can't wait for the 8th!

The Draenor expansion for me. Because of the garrison, getting to level 100. It got old fast and I've only logged in periodically since. However I'm equally as excited now for Legion. But more for The Division since it's MUCH closer to release. I'll probably feel the same about Legion when it's 30 days out.

I have never been so hyped for a game to release in my life. The Division will be the end of that life.

for me it was Diablo 3. I went to 12 gamestops hunting for a collectors box, and I called another 20+ stores.

D3 was close for me, but I was really busy in life around that time so it kept me occupied. I did pre-order the D3 collector's edition though! I'm kind of pissed at myself for not doing the same for The Division.

The Division's beta?

As far as games go, I'm thinking it was Battlefield 3.

I've been excited over many games recently.

But the last time I was raised excited where I would browse the subreddit constantly and watch as many videos as I could and read articles and interviews was DCUO.

I think the reason they are causing that is because they are new types of games to me. Dcuo was my first ever mmo and I had no clue how it worked so I took in all I could. The division is similar, my first online rpg shooter that's not quite and mmo.

I usually play solo adventure rpgs, so I've been watching a lot to see how everything works. After the beta I've stopped though, I want to be surprised. I saw plenty gameplay from pre beta stuff, never really watched stuff about the maps or abilities, so all that will be new for me on March 8th

Man, the intensity when you're hidden in the map grinding away when the hostile flag sound blasted on screen!

Hands down, Destiny. Before that, I'd have to say Halo 4.

The beta did what it was intended to do,Test the servers and find exploits, all of which were accomplished. Betas are never meant to showcase content, that would be a demo. Seems you have the terms backwards. Was this the first beta you have ever participated in? What were you expecting, the full game and features?
