World of Warcraft I'm afraid. I was pretty jaded with EQ at this point and had seen all the hype on FoH from the US beta. I was so excited I actually pre-ordered a US copy of the game.

Diablo 3 I was really hyped for. It's kind of sad but memorable looking back.

Every path of exile league.

I'd like to know what everyone's most anticipated releases were. Like in all your history of gaming from day one, what title(s) did you get all excited about the most?

I'll start and date myself. Doom II, meh. Quake II, so awesome. Fallout 4, big letdown.
Quake II was awesome indeed. Also, Half-Life. I'd read about it, went to the store (Electronics Boutique I'm guessing?), saw it on the shelf and the guy working there just said "Buy it". No explanation, just "buy it." He was right, no explanation was necessary. That shit was groundbreaking.

The Orange Box was pretty awesome. I played TF2 in the open beta, and was happy to pay for something I already knew was awesome. I played the living shit out of TF2.

I was actually really buzzed for EQ2, and greatly enjoyed it. I actually did swap to WoW though, for hardware reasons (EQ2 was just a BUNCH of mistakes glued together.. .but it was fun on release!)

After that, I was hyped for the WoW: Cataclysm expansion... boy that was a disappointment.

And then it was Overwatch... I've moved on to Paladins since though, since Blizzard has decided that only eugenically-bred designer gamer Korean teenagers should be allowed to play their game.

Everquest 2 was the first game I got super excited for. I spent thousands of dollars on the parts and built myself a new rig and I played it for less than two weeks.

Other games I was excited for and they flopped were:
Metal Gear Solid 2
Final Fantasy 8
Vanguard: Saga of Heroes
World of Warcraft: Classic

All the games above were complete let-downs to me. So at this point, I try not to get too excited about a game, but I know what I am in store for with green because this is the 3rd time I am starting on an EQ server fresh!

Lord of the Rings Online. Actually spent the $200 to get the lifetime account. Played it for years, and still log in every now and again when feeling nostalgic.

Biggest disappointment was The Division 2. WAY too much grinding only to be screwed over by the rng. Quit playing after about a month, and interacting with the people there led me to purge my “friends” list and drop XBox Gold entirely.

First purchases were original EQ, UT99 and Janes WW2 Fighters.

My first anticipated release was Ruins of Kunark because I was into EQ, I didn't anticipate Velious but I did pre-order it. Everything else I would find in the store.

Dark Age of Camelot & Shadowbane. I was into MMORPGs at the time and these looked like the next EQs. (they weren't)

The next memorable one was Bioshock, STEAM was doing a pre-download thing and the guys at Hardforum were riding the hype train. Beat the game, didn't play it twice.

When I think back on it all the games were pretty much already out in stores by the time I took notice. Box pics look interesting, ok I will buy it. No waiting and a "finished" game. The definition of a finished game becomes confused post 2010.

Edit: Erased STEAM/digital stores & launchers awhile back. Since PC gaming is reduced to digital download only it means I don't purchase new games. I have no further anticipations.
