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.

Ah, Peter Molyneux at his over-promising, under-delivering best. It was a really good game though.

I remember being in 7th grade and absolutely everybody was talking about Halo 3. While I never had interest in it, it was crazy how pretty much every kid had something to say about it, even one of my teachers was really excited for it. Given the scope of the game and what it delivered, it was pretty impressive for 2007 and I think it lived up to the hype.

No doubt.
I absolutely LOVE Super Smash Bros., it is my favourite game series of all time no-doubt. And Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U just did everything right at exactly the right time. This was the first time I've truly ridden the type train from announcement to arrival, and it was insane. The character reveals, the speculation, the dedicated presentations, it was just fan-tas-tic. The character trailers throughout the hype period were all amazing and got me screaming and kicking every time one showed up. Even the Pics of the Day had me excited every single day as I awaited what Sakurai would reveal this time. Super Smash Bros. Brawl had been my favourite game from the moment I first played it (and no fanboys, I hadn't played Melee before that so Brawl was on top), and I nearly blew up from excitement as this game was getting closer and closer to launch. I remember that the day before launch I was bouncing around all day non-stop because I was just so excited. And now with Super Smash Bros. coming to the Switch I can only hope my previous hype levels will be matched.

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