When was the last time you were *genuinely* excited about a game releasing? For me it was P5. That was half a decade ago.

If you can't explain why a game is bad without resorting to meaningless buzzwords your "opinion" is irrelevant.

I wouldn't say it was complete garbage but it definitely made me realize that the formula was worn out and the plot and characters were so off the mark that not even the admittedly great aesthetics of the game could save it.
It was just a combination of somewhat unrealistic expectations and a 7/10 game.

P5 was the last time I was genuinely happy with vidya, it was my entryway into JRPGs and I was blown the fuck away by it
I dont think anything will come close desu

Persona ended at 2.
Caleb Rodriguez
I just wanted more persona 4. You seem smart, why'd 5 feel worse?

I know it's hardly the most unique take but the most concise I can put it is that it was to P4 what P4 was to P3. What I mean by that is that while the game inarguably became a better "game" it felt a lot more hollow and cheap than its predecessors, hollow because the plot, the characters and the team dynamic didn't click for reasons that I don't feel like explaining at length right now and cheap because of all the times the game jerks you off, or leans into moth-eaten anime clichés. Not that the other games weren't guilty of these to various levels but P5 was where it reached my limit.
Evan Peterson
BOTW2 and Splatoon 3, though with Splat 3, I feel like I'd be even more excited if they had waited until a new console was coming out
Ryder Reyes
When Nintendo finally shits out a fucking direct. It's already february.
Noah Sanders
Shadow Warrior 3 looks great.
Dylan Barnes
That's easy, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2. It was easily the GOTY of 2020 and possibly the best Tony Hawk game ever, I wish it got a THPS 3 level DLC but it sadly never did.

I've only got three games I'm looking forward to.

Battlefield 2042.
After the gimmick games Hardline, 1, and V (All thought I do love 1), we were finally getting a BF game in a modern setting, which would hopefully bring all the vehicles, weapons, gadgets, customization and maps associated with a modern setting to play with.
I also thought Portal was going to provide so many options.
Instead, we got a semi-working game in a modern setting, with the bare minimum of features, and so many basic features, like servers, teamspeak and squad options, removed, and demos for 1942, BC2, and BF3.
Thomas Torres
I don't really care about new games because I discovered too many old games to play.
Jacob Ortiz
MGSV. I haven't been "hyped" for anything since and don't understand people who still get excited for things. Also I'm not trying to say that there haven't been good games released since then, I liked DMC5 and Sekiro, it's just that I never got hyped for them in the same way I did for MGS.
Samuel Morgan
At this point I just wait to hear if it's good or not and pick it up on sale. Very rarely will I buy something new at full price unless I absolutely know I will like it
Jonathan Moore
But it has saved Japanese game by getting metascore over 90, when Japanese game was in peril, in mid 2010.

That can't be right, it came out just before I went to my first international conference for my phd.

That was the last hype train I was on. Such a good run that was.

Other than that I stopped getting excited for a game release because I have been disappointed far too much. I keep track of game releases on a calendar but I don't follow any pre-release hype for those games. I have found my enjoyment of games through this method are a lot more than the ones where I follow the hype.
For example, I actually enjoyed Cyberpunk 2077. It had its bugs, it was wonky, things were wrong, but I had zero expectations for it other than "cyberpunk game."
Aiden Turner
Back when Nier Automata was announced. I even bought a PS4 for it which ended up being a mistake, but at least I could eventually hack it for free games
James Nelson
It's weird that one isn't already out, you'd think they'd have one before their earnings release two days from now, but they'll at least have something before the fiscal year ends
