What is the most hype you've ever seen for a game pre release/launch day?

It could never live up to the hype of course. It was a good game that has since got a lot better...I drop in and have a look from time to time.

Yeah. This is probably mine too. I checked for news everyday. I counted down the days until the game came out. It didn't have a hard release date. So, I checked constantly for the game to "go gold". Then it had to be printed and shipped.
I think the hype for the first Fable was huge too. It was marketed like every decision you made affected the world around you. Like if you saw a little tree and left it alone, later in the game it would be full sized. It was a fun game, but it wasn't that advanced.

Isn't The Old Republic free to play now? Does it still have a pretty big userbase? i'm considering jumping into it.

Last time I played it was a free to play model, with certain QoL items being part of the subscription. There is some excellent single player content in the game.

I read that wrong. I was talking about Knights of the Old Republic. I never played the MMO.
Sorry about that.

It's got to be the Halo sequels. I mean no other game has a day named after it. And isn't that the game that created midnight launches?
