When did you last shriek like a manchild at the announcement of a videogame?

[Master]

The only time I got so hyped I couldn't sleep was back when skyrim was launching, hmm, what a disappointment that turned out... it felt like I got molested.

 

[Red Rogue]

I think it was Beyond Good and Evil 2.

Then not even 2 hours later we all learned how much of a trash fire it's going to be.

Mebrilia - can you please tell us how you feel about Starfield?

 

[Mebrilia the Viera Queen]

Wrll what to say cautious but so far i liked what i did see

 

[Sunri]

BG III, but then I played it and lost hope.

 

[Cael]

The Ultima series starting from 5. And then Pagan came out...

 

[SumDrunkGuy]

Can't remember. It would have been sometime before I was a hollow shell of a man, back when I still felt things like wonder and joy.

 

[NoSoup4you]

The last game I "needed" to play on release was Inscryption. And even then, no shriek, because I'm a fucking adult.

 

[Ivan]

Hollow Knight 2

Hopefuls: Bloodborne 2, Revengeance 2, God Hand 2, Prey 2, Dishonored 3, another Rayman, Thumper 2

 

[Zed Duke of Banville]

Dragon's Dogma 2

 

[Bigg Boss]

I drove an hour to buy a special edition of Fallout New Vegas back in 2010 I guess. I really wanted those goodies. I don't think I squealed like a man child but I did exert force from my mouth in excitement. Like this:

I will shriek when the Tactics Ogre Reborn leak gets confirmed

 

[Konjad]

Bannerlord, especially the day it was released.

 

[NJClaw]

The release of Pokémon Gold and Silver. In my defense, I was 6.

 

[Comte_II]

Fallout New Vegas got me pretty excited when it was released. I was also excited about the colonization remake but that turned out to be a dud.

 

[Norfleet]

But somewhere in the MMS & NMS era the mags took a sudden shift from being review & "now-based", to being full of previews instead & all about the up & coming.

This is how things are now, here, too. You look at these forums and see how many threads are about an actual game that actually EXISTS, and how many are just about vaporware.

 

[Caim]

It was more of a big WHAT moment when they announced KotOR 2 + restored content patch for the Switch.

 

[Curratum]

Elden Ring release date I think, and look how that turned out...

 

[Grauken]

Elden Ring release date I think, and look how that turned out...

GOTY

 

[ScepticCat]

I stopped wait for good games a decade ago, because every time, when I did it - result was disappointing. If something good was released - it always was something unexpected for me. So, I changed my strategy - now, I'm waiting for bad games, so bad, that it would be a completely disaster for shitty developers.
And for this reason - Fallout 76 made me shriek. From the first beta reviews, I knew it would burn so many asses that I was anticipating it with a wicked grin. And the result even exceeded my expectations >)

I think it was Beyond Good and Evil 2.

Over all its announcements BGE2 went from shriek because I'm excited to shriek because I just witnessed hell.

Based on the latest Link's Awakening remake, it would seem the Internet is full of these kind of people. But I've never been like this myself. No game release has ever got me hyped. So what about you?

How can any person "shriek"?
