The last game to get me excited like a little kid on Christmas Eve was Supreme Commander. I grew up on Total Annihilation and it played its part in defining me as a gamer. A game promising to be its spiritual successor was guaranteed to get me excited.

THANK YOU! At least I know I'm not the only one to have grown up on it!

Wow, according to every age poll mentioned on here, I'm anywhere from "average" to "old". How depressing. I'm glad I don't feel that way.

 

Hey don't worry! according to this it says I'm young but at least you don't feel old when talking to your friends about the good oldies like total annilation, half-life one, or marathon!

For me it was Oblivion. I dreamed in TES plotlines... seeing it come alive in a next-generation game was something I had spent years waiting for.

Then it came, and it came in a stupid-ified console format, with a stupid-ified console UI and a stupid-ified console-age-group plot. My faith in the gaming industry died that day. I don't buy any title when it releases anymore, until I read reviews, forums, and see what mods are available.

I guess it's five years now... KOTOR2: TSL was the game that got me as hyped in 2005 as ME3 is doing now.
I wasn't expecting ME1 to be released for the PC, otherwise I would've been as excited

i'm not old but my taste is slowly moving away from big-screen cinematic experiences, maybe more handheld stuff for me in the future :/

Back in the day it was Final Fantasy III (VI)

Today it is ME3, BF3, Diablo III, Rage, Skyrim...

[Gravbh]

So I'm not the only person to play base wars. I still have both a working NES and copy of that game.

The last time I've been 'super excited' for a game was Ocarina of time for the N64. Before that you have to go back to the SNES. Take your pick, Super Metroid, FF3, Link to the Past, Mega Man X...the list goes on.

With that said I'm looking forward to ME3 more than any game in quite some time.

I'd call a gamer old if he's >26. And very old if 30+.

how about we settle for 25?

[GunMoth]

:c I'm 21 and I still get giddy and giggly when I watch trailers or wait in line for midnight launches. Sure, I'm not "old", but I think I'm probably a bit too old to get THIS excited haha. Sometimes. Maybe.

Currently freaking out about: Dark Souls omgomgomgomg

I pick up a lot of games without knowing anything about them, I tried Mass Effect and a lot of my other favorites on a whim. Gotta say the last game I was "stoked" about would have to be *Conquest: Frontier Wars*, I had a whole website made up and everything. That was back in 2001.

[javierabegazo]

One of the games I grew up with was River City Ransom, Was so pleased to hear a remake was made

[CroGamer002]

I'm not old gamer but when I start with gaming my all time favorites are fairly old, Call of Duty United Offensive and Rise of Nations.

Lol, how about Battletoads vs. Double Dragon ?

I'm only 23, so I don't fit into your categories, but I definitely have been playing games since I was a kid. Logging on to the RTSoft BBS to play LoRD. I also remember putting the release of Age of Empires II in my school planner. The game I waited for the most with bated breathe would have to be Dink Smallwood. Another RTSoft game, but we ordered it and then went on vacation. I was antsy the whole week. Disneyland was nothing compared to what would be waiting for me when I got home.

Currently ME3 is my most anticipated piece of media. If I could go into cryo for 8 months, I totally would consider it.

However, I've also got a lot of other stuff going on in my life, so I'll be fairly occupied until ME3's release. And gaming has never looked brighter, in my opinion. ME3's wait may be excruciating, but I've got Uncharted 3, Gears 3, Assassin's Creed Revelations, and BF3 hold me over. Hell, these titles will probably make the wait highly enjoyable.

Good old Double Dragon's...makes me wish I still had my NES and NES games

[RPGamer13]

There's actually been lots of games that have had me waiting on edge for them, some in the past couple years:

Marvel vs Capcom 3
Dragon Age: Origins
Mass Effect
Too Human
Tales of Vesperia
Star Ocean: The Last Hope
Spectral Force 3
Soul Calibur IV
Devil May Cry 4
Lost Odyssey
Ninety-Nine Nights
Grandia III
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance

Now:
Skyrim
Mass Effect 3
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning


The list could go on. But I'll stop there. Also, I didn't think it would, but now it's become a problem because I have over 10 games I have yet to even see the ending of and it's been growing.

[m00nsh1ne]

The Mass Effect series and the Assassin's Creed series are the only ones right now that has me all geeked out in anticipation. There are a few other games I'm looking forward to like SWTOR but I'm not making blood sacrifices to make those games come out quicker like I am for ME3.

I remember being so excited when Baldur's Gate 2 was coming out. I preordered it from Buy.com, and got free next day shipping and a buy.com yoyo in the box (Oh Dot-Com Bubble, how I miss your extravagance). I also remember being SO excited the day Mask of the Betrayer came out, and waiting on line with tons of people getting their Orange Box preorders. The Gamestop employee looked at me like I was on crack.

Oh god.

I preordered BG2 from EBGames with overnight shipping.  EBGames accidently forgot to ship all of the BG2 copies on the date they promised,  and it ended up that it would sit in a warehouse till Monday.  I had already called off for the release day so I could play it...so I went to the store and bought it.  I intended to return it,  but never did.

Ended up Ebaying a shrinkwrapped collectors edition BG2 for $600 last year.  I always suspected there were collectors.

On the subject of old computers, I had a TRS80 hooked to a B&W TV for a monitor. I went to the library, got a programming book, and the first program I inputted made a cloverleaf of sine waves...in BASIC. Then I upgraded to a PB and a 500M HDD. Wrote my 1st program on that (a game, since vgs got outlawed after Nintendo) and used to play Corporate Raiders, Indy 500 and Civ 2 on it

Mine was a Commodore 64.  I used to copy the programs out of Home Office Computing in Basic.  I also had a thing for the book series that hid plot points in small programs you'd have to write into your C64/PC/TRS80,  can't remember the name of the series now,  but I loved it.

I once sat down and copied a whole adventure game out of a magazine,  worked great.

Then there was early Computer Gaming World,  Bytes,  and the other magazines that had columns for game hints,  because there were no strategy guides or internet sites.

Then there was my first PC,  a 386SX16 with a 40 meg harddrive,  I had to work to free up enough disk space to install Masters of Orion,  my first PC game.

Fried that thing during a lightning storm while chatting in an AOL chat room,  insurance company gave me enough money to buy a 486SX33 with a ~100 meg HD.  I was in heaven...

...Until Wing Commander 3 released a couple months later and it required a 486DX2-66,  bought a upgrade chip and dropped it in!

This is the only time in my entire life i've geeked about a game this obsessively... I like gaming myself, but would NEVER in a million years join a forum group to talk about it... I never have... But Mass Effect touched me differently than all games i've played... It's almost like a movie and you get attached to characters... I've played most of the prominent RPGS out in the market...but they're just games to me, even though some of them are great... But the connection you have with the characters in this franchise is insane...ME3 is a game I can't wait for...which is why i browse around these forums for news and details about the 3rd...

[Nicodemus]

Hmmm, first game I was really excited to have was Space Invaders on the Atari 2600, but the one that probably really sticks out for me and still makes me look back to my youth was Elite for the BBC B. Those were the games that made me geek out.

[Dustbeard]

Fallout 2 was one game that got me really excited when that was coming out, I happily waited outside my local GAME store for about two hours until the delivery truck arrived with the new copies. These days I just preorder everything.

I stopped getting really excited about games out of self defence, if anything, because of Oblivion. It was just an inferior game to its predecessor, which was hugely disappointing considering the hype and seeming to have everything going for it (Patrick Stewart AND Sean Bean in the same game? How did that not turn out well?). A few other games I'd looked forward since hadn't been all I'd hoped either - Empire: Total War CE was a rip off and full of glitches, Dawn of War 2 and Red Dead Redemption were good but not great, was starting to feel a bit jaded until ME2 came out.

I'm sure ME3 will be great, so maybe that'll be my 'Oblivion antidote'!

[Obsidian Gryphon]

Nowadays, I'm more for single players than MMORPGs so I'm geeked for the Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, Tomb Raider, Call of Duty, Medal of Honor and Thief series.   One other title I will like most to continue is TLJ, adventure game, but the devs didn't seem interested after TLJ:DF which left the players with a cliffhanger.

On RPGs, I tried and tried to get into the Witcher but the initial extraneous long loading put me off the game, I never tried to get the patches, etc, so I never did get past chapter 1 after several attempts. ES4 Oblivion was the most part, a hack n slash, I never did feel I'm role-playing (it didn't make sense to make it to Arch-Mage and your own guards still address your PC as if he's a peon/greenie, nor was the perpetually burning mage hall in a particular city or the opened gates to the other world after completion of game any help in immersion). Tried FO4, again, I never did get into it. After that, I swore off OE. 

ME is a action RPG that has a intriguing story and  engages the player. I'm half afraid it would spoil me for other RPGs!
