I was obsessed over Max Payne 3. I followed that game when it was first announced all the way up to its release. I read every article I could find. Watched every trailer and video about it I could find. Replayed Max payne 1 & 2 a couple times to hold me over. When I finally got Max Payne 3 I stayed up for like 13 hours playing it until I completed it. Went to bed, woke up and jumped into the multiplayer for hours. And I played it pretty much every day for a whole month. I still play arcade mode once in awhile. I try playing multiplayer but seems like no one gets on anymore so I gave up.

Honestly I get obsessed everytime a Rockstar game is announced because they're my favorite developers. Ive loved everyone of their games. Even State of emergency lol.

Like this? Never anything... I'm full on retard for GTA V. I've never obsessed over forums and mined for info every day for months like GTA V. I was really pumped for GTA IV but I wasn't bat sh*t out of my mind like I am for GTA f*cking FIVE! 9 days!

Any game that I looked forward to that came out before about 2009, as back then when I was 10 or younger I loved playing video games and got excited for a lot of games. Now that I play a lot less then I did back then I've never gotten that hyped up again over any game. GTA V is the only exception of a game that has gotten me just as excited as I did when I was a young kid.

I was pretty excited for BF3. Woke up at 4 am on a school day to play it before I went to class at 7:30.

I didn't get GTA IV until a few months after it released. The open-worldness was what reeled me in.

 

Now, I have never been as excited for anything as I am for GTA V, this was the first time I ever joined a forum for a video game, and it will be my first midnight release as well. I'm in college now and thank God I get out of class at noon, and no class Fridays :lol:

It's gonna be a glorious weekend.

I was pretty interested in Mafia 2 and while it had a good story, the game disappointed me. I thought I'd be able to run my crew, extort, plan hits, and ect. Nope none of that.

 

LA Noire disappointed me too.

 

 

However GTA 5 is really something on another level. I've never joined a forum just to discuss 1 game before. I wasn't even this hype for GTA 4!

Skyrim. It was a long wait. But in Australia (where I live shhhhhh) it was released on 10th of November by accident. And I was happy. Then, turns out that I couldn't activate it on Steam until 11th of November. 11th of November I woke up at 1AM and I installed Skyrim, but it didn't work, because there was this bug that meant that I couldn't get past the starting screen. I looked on the net for four hours until I found that changing my audio frequency to something lower would work. Then, I had three hours to play before school.

 

In 2012, I pre-ordered Assassin's Creed III and suddenly, three weeks before release, I started getting really hyped for it.

 

Can't believe it's only 8 more days.

Back in the day, Socom 2. That is the only other game I've ever been so hyped to play, and so hyped while playing it. The hype for that game lasted years without me getting bored, and I expect the same with GTA V. I was extremely hyped for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion too.

And now GTA V. Honestly I have lusted for GTA V almost as much as my top lusted game. Pitfall 2 on the Atari 2600 was IMPOSSIBLE to find in stores to buy years after its release. Imagine GTAV being out for years and years but there are no copies to buy! That was the hell of pitfall 2

Jedi Knight 2 : Jedi Outcast.

 

I waited years for that game, such a tough wait but when it released, it was SO worth it. :D. Now I've been waiting for Jedi Knight 3 for 10 years... Save me Disney, you're my only hope...

I don't think I've been hyped up this much and obsessed since IV, honestly. I mean, Chinatown Wars was something I really looked forward and loved even when I got it (and actually love to play its story and everything else over and over with its ~8 hour story), but I don't think the pre-release hype was nearly as great as IV. And IV's compared to V's? Get out, this game is incomparable to anything I've seen before. And I look forward to seeing if my expectations are all met when this game comes out in less than two weeks. It's happening!

San Andreas, assassins creed 2 and uncharted 3. But nothing comes close to my excitement for V.

Being an Elder Scrolls player since Daggerfall.... Skyrim was probably the most anticipated game of my life before GTA V...

GTA V is the first game I have ever been this hyped for. Never signed up for forums for any other game.

 

This. GTA V is probably the most anticipated thing of my life the more I think about it. I was insanely hyped for Kick-Ass in 2010

but I don't even think that comes close to the way I feel about this
