What confuses me is why people are so impatient for FP5.
For me, it was a combination of Banjo-Kazooie and the fact that they announced more DLC.
I had planned on only the announced 5 DLC characters and came to terms with that and who we had in the roster. There were some picks I wanted that were "killed" in the base roster (because they were spirits or ATs) and I had low expectations for who we could get for the pass after seeing the Joker (not that he was a bad pick, he just showed me I probably wasn't going to get anything I was wanting).
Once they announced Banjo and Kazooie though, I was in hype city. I had restored faith in the 4th and 5th picks. Terry wasn't one I wanted, but BK showed me some of my favorites had a shot, so I started looking forward to FP5. Then they announced more DLC post-pass. This was like drugs being shot into my brain. The possibility of some of the ATs and spirits being playable, as well as the increased likelyhood of new picks on my want list making the jump, threw me back on the hype train.
Before the post-pass announcement, and definitely before BK, I was hardly ever on here.
