E3 2018 - A year of Mobile Games, Dancing Pandas, and Homeless Banjo Players - Did E3 2018 make all your dreams/nightmares come true?

[Elwood P. Dowd]

Fortunately, they've found a novel solution to that problem by making the target a woman.

Anita Sarkeesian is already counting the shekels she'll be making off of that one.

 

[Done]

Stuff I'll probably buy:

Spider Man (PS4): Really like the looks of this game, there's still a lot of unknowns about it, but it looks like the superhero game my inner-Arkham-addict has needed for a while.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider (PC): Yes it's repetitive as fuck by now, but I like some familiarity in my games. And I prefer nu-Tomb Raider to the last 2 Uncharted games tbh.

Resident Evil 2 Remake (PC): Seriously, watch the trailers, that's gonna be game of whatever year it's out in..


Stuff I liked:

Ghost of Tsushima (PS4): I think that the game looked spectacular, will wait for more info though.

Dragon Quest XI (PC): Really like the looks of this game, Toriyama designs are always nice to see, but I will probably have to clear my backlog of long-ass JRPG games first.

Tales of Vestiria (PC): See above minus Toriyama designs.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (PC): This could be the very 1st From Software game I get into, the whole Ninja aesthetic seems cool, and it looks like it will be abandoning the regular trappings of Souls-style games (no souls, stats or level-ups).


Disappointments:

Assassin's Creed: Odyssey (PC): The concept of an Assassin's Creed game set in ancient Greece would have got me incredibly excited a few years ago, but after seeing the game in action, it's just pure meh.

The Last of Us 2 (PS4): I honestly don't see the need for this game, given that the 1st one was very self-contained, and the increasing SJWism of Naughty Dog is kinda concerning to me too. This game feels like it was made for ResetEra to be honest, and thus, not for me..

One thing I'd like to comment on that hasn't been brought up yet was the reveal of Fire Emblem: Three Houses, which was announced last year as Fire Emblem Switch. We've barely seen much of it, and it already looks interesting. What I especially like is that:

1) The battle map shows units leading whole groups of soldiers, making the battles look like they're happening on a large scale rather than just two or more units trading blows with one another.
2) The character designs have this Persona-esque look to them. Even better is that there aren't any characters that appear to be overly sexualized. Or at least, not yet.
3) Weapon durability is back, along with a few other things.
4) The plot involves three houses, and from the looks of it, each of the three lords can use multiple weapons, as indicated by the part where you can teach one of them either sword skills or axe skills.
5) One of the main characters is a girl named Edelgard, which looks so much like Edgelord that it's hilarious.
6) No more sprites; You're able to move around a hubworld with a fully rendered character, which I'm not sure is either an Avatar or not. I hope it's a full fledged character ala Marth or Ike.

Also, the game is slated for a Spring 2019 release. I look forward to hearing more about this game.

Shit like that is intentionally done to stir up controversy because companies still think that pissing off someone with "in your face social justice" will generate sales. It also draws out obnoxious people like this:

Remember when the assassins were based of the hashashins and not the we wuz egyptians
Also the greece game takes place even before the retconed order of assassins, so fuck continuity
And why did they make the game a nu war game when it was always about stealth? Even assassins 3 didnt go full retard with the war missions

 

[Black Waltz]

Stuff I'll definitely buy:
Doom Eternal
Spider Man PS4
Super Smash Bros Ultimate (and a switch to play it on)
Ghost of Tsushima
Stuff I might buy:
Death Stranding
Halo Infinite
Shit:
The Last of us Part 2
Fallout 76
everything by EA
EDIT: I also wanted to buy metal wolf chaos

 

[Zaryiu]

It's not like Ellie was gay in the first game...you fucking idiots.

Only in the shit DLC

 

[StoneKnightMan]

hey guys. i was able to find one of the smash bros images. im using it as my desktop wallpaper now. im so fucking excited.

double posting because devil may cry 5's trailer song

Devil Trigger

Lyrics:

*The darkest of night falls around my soul
And the hunger within loses control
Gotta let it out x 4.

This demon inside has a hold of me
Clenching its power drives me to break free
Gotta let it out x 4.

Move fast baby don’t be slow
Step aside, reload, time to go
I can’t seem to control
All this grief that’s inside me.

Hold it fast they’ve been dancing on this
Braided by fire on the abyss
red hot temper I just can’t resist
all this vengeance inside me.

All of these thoughts running through my head
I’m on fire face burning red
the strange side has got to wake up
bang bang bang pull my Devil Trigger.

Embrace the darkness that’s within me
No hiding in the shadows anymore
When this wickedness consumes me
Nothing can save you and there’s no way out.

I’m a wildfire you won’t tame
Not even my temper can put out the flame
There’s no way to contain
This form swelling inside me.

I’m a bomb you can’t defuse
I would just accept you’re gonna lose
Can’t turn down, I refuse
To hold back anymore.

All of these voices say inside of my head
Biting my side til I’m **** red
The strange side has got to wake up
Bang bang bang pull my Devil Trigger.

When on I dance it’s not over
Wave right through to get closer
Like a silver bullet fusing through
I throw myself into you.*

Alright, I thought about Bethesda's conference and I actually rethink things now. First, lemme do a total overlook:

So far my MVPs are Metal Wolf Chaos, Doom Eternal, and Rage 2

Other games of interest:

Tunic
DMC 5
Sekiro Shadows Die Twice
Fallout 76
Cyberpunk 2077
My Friend Pedro
Ghost of Tsushima
Shenmue I and II on PC
Nioh 2
Resident Evil 2 Remake
Dying Light 2
Noita
Crackdown 3
The Quiet Man
Just Cause 4
Skull and Bones
Overwhelm
Sable
Tales of Vesperia Definitive Edition
Control
Cuphead DLC
We Happy Few(I swear this was already out, but someone told me they got bought up before official release)
Shadow of the Tomb Raider
Metro Exodus
Maneater
Prey Mooncrash
Yakuza Kiwami
Yakuza 0

Those last two are because I play PC mostly. I saw Jim's stream of Bethesda and I can clearly tell he's NOT one of the crowd that actually wanted multiplayer in Fallout. There's apparently a multiplayer mod being worked on for Fallout 4. This is just Beth going "You want a multiplayer Fallout? Here!". I was worried about their statement that the game would be easier in multiplayer, but ANY game can be easier in multiplayer when you think about it, and private worlds were confirmed so you can play with friends without griefers. Plus, it's not hard to keep content up since they're using Fallout 4 assets and engine for this one, and another thing: they've probably been working on this since they released F4, so it's been a good bit. The release date isn't a rush job then.

Once I stopped panicking about the quality and actually gave it some thought, I'm actually really looking forward to Fallout 76.

I've updated the list. This doesn't really include much of Nintendo, any of it really, cause I don't have a Switch, and all I REALLY cared about that I saw from them was SSB Ultimate. All in all, I don't even remember much of last year's E3, so it must've been THAT lackluster. This year was much better, I gotta say. Makes me hopeful that 2019 will be even better.

 

[Zaryiu]

Not making any decisions yet on what i feel like buying from what i saw, too early for that. Also any words on MK11? I heard it might or might not be shown this year (if so probably a trailer)

 

[The Wrath]

I just want some god damn Red Dead Redemption 2 gameplay. Sony please surprise me and show it off.

 

[whatever I feel like]

Disappointments:

Assassin's Creed: Odyssey (PC): The concept of an Assassin's Creed game set in ancient Greece would have got me incredibly excited a few years ago, but after seeing the game in action, it's just pure meh.

I was mulling E3 over in my mind earlier today and I have to agree. I think that last year's looked much better than this. I feel like it looks like a step back to me. Maybe the trailer was just cut really poorly, but its their job to sell people on the game and I feel they did a very poor job of it. All the positive work done over the past three years, cancelled out over a very, very bland and generic five minutes.

Boy, I'm sure glad he/she/it acts as a spokeswhatever for the 'gaming community'. Whatever the fuck that's supposed to be.

Only in the shit DLC

The DLC is canon. And it was implied in the base game.

People who think this was sudden are dumbasses. Play the game.

 

[vhstape]

It's over and thank Christ. If they showed any Ace Combat trailers, I'd be compelled to drop money on a console.

Thankfully I get to save my money.

the new Ace Combat is coming to pc as well

E3 was ok. I liked Microsoft's conference. EA was shit. Sony was boring. Bethesda was boring. Didn't see Ubisoft. PC Gaming conference was surprisingly the best so far. Which makes it passable. I didn't bother with Nintendo because lolNintendo.
The biggest disappointments for me were The Last of Us Part II and Cyberpunk 2077. The Last of Us Part II because it proved that Naughty Dog didn't learn at all from making their demo scripted as fuck and the AI overdesigned for the demos sake like when they originally teased The Last of Us. They actually instead fucking doubled down on that shit. It was hilarious, but frustrating to see so many people fall for it that easily again. Cyberpunk 2077 because I learned that journalists saw fucking 50 minutes of gameplay behind closed doors and I won't see it. Also there hasn't been any leaked gameplay at all. I'm jealous.
Does anyone know if there's going to be more Cyberpunk at E3?

Guess what, I watched it all and the base game was shit, the dlc was shitty too and you can bet your ass 2 will be shit stop defending bad stuff

damn, i should become a game journalist for the sake of seeing shit early

Ghost of Tsushima is probably the only game I was legitimately impressed by. Only thing I didn't like was that the voice-acting was in English rather than Japanese, but that won't be a problem since there's going to be an option to change it in the actual game. The real plus about this game, though, is the inevitable avalanche of salt that's going to flow because, "FIRTHY GAIJIN ARE CURTURARRY APPROPRIATING JAPANESE CURTURE."

And I tell you what;

it's not going to come from Japanese people.

Oh yeah the shitstorm on this one is going to be amazing. Particularly when somebody fairly high up in the SJW symbiote blob inevitably mistakes the Mongols for the Chinese.
