E3 2017

Anthem is the easiest bullshot swindle to spot. It's like The Division all over again.

I think the theme this year is to steal memorable character art styles and shove upgraded lighting engines into them.

I want to play Cuphead.

Hahaha. Exactly what I thought - there was a very similar trailer when they introduced the division - multiple people, both sexes, enjoying great cooperative gameplay, using great gadgets etc...
when the game hit the stores, a ton of that simply wasn't there - the tablet/smartphone controllable in game scout drone being the most visible one, apart from the graphical downgrade.
Having said that - I own the division, played 120 or so hours of it and it was a lot of fun, even without those extra features like a stable gameplay or a god damned story..
Anthem I believe can be very similar - they won't deliver what they promise, but it will be fun to play nonetheless. We'll see.

Oh! Oh! and Metro Exodus straight-up plagiarized the 28 Days Later soundtrack. What was it, "In a House, in a Heartbeat?"

I'm quite surprised at how cool the new Assassins Creed game looked. That Ancient Egyptian setting looks fantastic, and the gameplay looks to be embracing plenty of RPG elements. I haven't played an AC game since Black Flag but this looks to be made by the same team.

The new Metro is going to be ****ing awesome. Semi open world, which will probably mean multiple open but limited locations connected via metro or rail tunnels. Having read like 20 of the books set in this world, I simply can't wait. The best part, not the "I'm alone and wounded and it's dark, and I have like 2 bullets and there is a horde of mutants stalking me" part, but the best part of this world imo was exploring the postapocalyptic world - all the villages, towns, secret bases, new and old societies, moving around a world like this by train.. it all seems to be here.
Having said that, it seems I'll have to sell a kidney to afford a pc that will run it looking as good as it looks in the trailer.. but maybe it's time for an upgrade..

Well you could always just get the Xbox One X which will almost assuredly be cheaper than even the most basic gaming PC. It looks pretty cool, and I'm definitely getting a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. vibe from it. I'm glad they decided to ditch the whole "you can't breathe the oxygen on the surface" bit because I always hated the gas mask breathing sound effect. I'm actually playing through the Autumn Aurora mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl and I had to go into the game files and delete the breathing sound effect for certain stalker suits. Actually just thinking about that, it's probably the defining feature of PC gaming, if there's something you don't like about a game, mod it out. Get a gaming PC.

My only problem is that it looks like it's going to be a timed exclusive deal with the Windows Store and that will badly hurt the game's sales on PC because nobody uses it and nobody likes it. It hurt Dead Rising 4 and Quantum Break and I really don't want to see it happen to the Metro series.

I'm glad I wasn't the only person who noticed that.

Ubisoft had the best press conference so far imo. The midnight viewing from Bethesda was so lame. Let's see what Sony has to offer in an hour.

Beyond Good and Evil 2 tho!!!!!

I also like The Crew 2. The handling and certain races were frustrating but I sank over 100 hours into it. Well the first one and now they added boats and planes to it!

Has there been a game that was this delayed before?

Nah dude

Sony dropped the ball this year. That was basically a rehash of last year with a few little announcements. All the games looked a little clunky as well, God of War, Days Gone, Spiderman...
