Excitement of a new game.

[Mr. Marble]

I don't get too overly excited, but I love sniffing that brand new smell.

If I get a game that I have been expecting for so long and is my favourites, like LittleBigPlanet 2...
I get crazy excited, I do a dance here and there while I wait for the install and I don't even care if there's a big ass install...
I'm still so excited.
If I get a game I like, I still get excited, I don't purchase a lot of games, I never rent and if I buy a game, it's a game I usually want to keep. Not sell again.

I used to be that way when I was younger. I remember seeing Metal Gear Solid (PSX) on the shelf of a Target and I had NO idea that was getting released; since I had recently gotten back into gaming at that time was the reason I was clueless.

I was a huge, HUGE fan of the two NES Metal Gear games (yes, Snake's Revenge isn't as bad as you've read -- it's just an action-based game is all). So seeing a 3D rendered Metal Gear game about made my heart almost start ticking. Almost.

While I don't super excited anymore, I still love the smell of brand new games.

It really depends on the game for me. I'm jonesing pretty bad for Mass Effect 3 and MLB 12 The Show.

i rarely buy new games on 1st day release, cos most of the time tends to have goty version which includes all dlc. So not much of excitement, more excitement for me if i platinium a game.

[SnowmanTheFrosty]

only for certain games, i was like a little kid when i got Skyrim lol

[NovaSD]

Only if its a game I've hyped myself up over. Next month I'm going to be giddy like a school-girl with all the RPGs coming out.

Yeah. This is definitely one of the best things about buying new games, especially if it's one you have pre-ordered or excited about playing. I remember when I got my Special Edition of Uncharted 3 back in November. Damn, Drake's journal really did smell authentic. Still smells great to this day.

Nothing beats New Game Smell, and yeah I do get excited about some games. For example I'm going to be as giddy as a school girl that's just found out One Direction are coming to their house when Mass Effect 3 arrives.
