ramon.: E3 2018 | Sputnikmusic

ramon. 06.11.18	stoked my dudes, bethesda and microsoft presentations were actually pretty good which is nice. got some solid titles and fresh IPs on the horizon. especially excited for cyberpunk 77.
smaugman 06.11.18	such a great E3. many interesting titles. especially stoked for cyberpunk 2077, maybe more than ES6 because the reveal was a trailer and not a teaser
smaugman 06.11.18	also i heard that halo infinity will come to PC, which is fucking amazing if it's true
Astral Abortis 06.11.18	I love that Bethesda announced two next gen titles just to appease fans who wouldnt shut the fuck up about Elder Scrolls 6
Astral Abortis 06.11.18	Also super annoyed that Chris Avellone is working on Dying Light 2. Complete waste of a talented writer on a terrible franchise.
Tyler. 06.11.18	Fallout 76 is going to be so bad mark my words.
Meridiu5 06.11.18	The Elder Scrolls 6 - New title Kingdom Hearts 3 - New title Nice, wasn't expecting these for like another 10 years
rabidfish 06.11.18	so few new IPs smh The new FromSoft looks cool af
Sinternet 06.11.18	'Also super annoyed that Chris Avellone is working on Dying Light 2. Complete waste of a talented writer on a terrible franchise.' Dying Light rules fuck you also Just Cause 4 fuck yeah
Astral Abortis 06.11.18	Fallout 76 will be way better than 4 because it looks like it has accepted the fact that Fallout 4 was a bad RPG so is instead focusing on the two good aspects of that game: open world FPS exploration, and the settlement system. They've already impressed me with the use of unique areas as well as vastly improving the line up of enemies to fight. It'll be a fun open world shoot n build, and will hopefully ditch the RPG attempts. Also Dying Light is one of the worst games I've ever played
Astral Abortis 06.11.18	Also TECHNICALLY I wanna say that Cyberpunk 2077 isn't a new IP, it's using the Cyberpunk 2020 tabletop game IP
CugnoBrasso 06.11.18	I heard a Sufjan Stevens track somewhere. I can't remember the game but I'm gonna buy it.
Astral Abortis 06.11.18	You don't need to buy it, that game is free apparently
Mentasm 06.11.18	god damn Cyberpunk 2077 looks fantastic.
Astral Abortis 06.11.18	@Darius: Sekiro, a samurai game that looks kinda Souls-ish but also a bit more based on fluid actions and abilities
rabidfish 06.11.18	Sekiro: Shadows die twice Looks like a bloodborne-style combat (no sheild, favours mobility and aggression over pacience and calculated attacks) with added grapling-hook.
Astral Abortis 06.11.18	It also looks far more cinematic in its story-telling approach
Casavir 06.11.18	I like that Fallout 76 looks the way it does despite the fact that acid rain should have destroyed most of the greenery by that point in the timeline.
Astral Abortis 06.11.18	A lot of people are getting scared by that but idk I don't think anything will come of it. I just think Activision will publish it far and wide and that'll be it. I seriously doubt it'll be shafted by microtransactions or general shitty business practices. It just doesn't seem feasible to me that a company that cares so strongly about the unique brand of their games would really let that happen, so probably signed a deal with Activision in good trust. But I could be wrong who knows
Astral Abortis 06.11.18	I don't care much about Fallout 76 being inconsistent with the way the world should look after nuclear annihilation, because I'd rather the world just be fun to explore and be in. I mean Bethesda completely destroyed the concept of good or consistent story and lore of the franchise so that doesn't bother me anymore as long as the game is fun.
kris. 06.11.18	the settlement system was the single worst aspect of FO4 aside from the writing so uhh i mean i'll play FO76 because i am a die-hard BSG stan and will be until i die but i'm not hype for more building garbage.
BlackMalachite 06.11.18	I'm not bothering with Fallout 76 unless they fix the dialogue system
SteakByrnes 06.11.18	Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is gonna be amazing, that's my favorite thing so far from E3
Devastator 06.11.18	"I'm not bothering with Fallout 76 unless they fix the dialogue system" It's a always online exploration game with no human npc's so I don't think you need to worry bout any dialogue.
Astral Abortis 06.11.18	Settlement system was 90% of what I spent my time doing in FO4, definitely the best aspect of the game. Now that they've likely had waaay more time to implement it better excites me. And yeah seriously doubt there's gonna be a dialogue system. And very glad Ron Pearlman's back.
Astral Abortis 06.11.18	"It's a always online" I don't think it's gonna be always online. I think they're just gonna stress the online factor a great deal. EDIT: nvm i think im wrong about this. I think you can play solo but youll always be on a server with a handful of other people regardless
Devastator 06.11.18	@Astral I hope there is an option to turn it off or make a private server for you and your friends. I love the exploration in FO and having a map that size (4 times bigger than FO4) will hopefully let them have alot of explorable locations will be cool.
YakNips 06.11.18	can't wait for skyrim 2
Gameofmetal 06.11.18	Fallout 4 is one of my most played games on steam but only because the settlement junk and fps roaming/exploration was cool. lotta other stuff was wanting. oh and mods.
Astral Abortis 06.11.18	They didn't really explain it too well but bc its coming out very soon we'll find out prettt quickly anyway. I'd love to just play by myself, build sick ass settlements and then go hunt Moth Man
Astral Abortis 06.11.18	Yeah game, thats basically all fallout 4 was good for. So its nice that 76 will focus on maximising those aspects and ditching the stuff Bethesda failed with in 4
SteakByrnes 06.11.18	I'm honestly excited for ES 6, it's one of the few Bethesda titles I like
Devastator 06.11.18	@Darius They seemed to word it that way but they may change that before release who knows. It's theme is "Rebuild" so there is a focus on Base building but they improved it by having you be able to build anywhere and there's exploration as well
Tyler. 06.11.18	The settlement building in FO4 was so bad
Astral Abortis 06.11.18	Its hard to tell. There will be at least a main quest so its not solely just an exploration game. If it's online only that could cause trouble for people who just want to do their own thing, especially if it means trolls will nuke the fucking town youve been building for 60 hours. So i don't know how they'll circumvent that. There are a lot of promising aspects for it and a lot of less promising ones. But i have good faith that it will be good. Though Bethesda has failed me pretty miserably with both Skyrim and Fallout 4, so idk if I should continue putting faith in them. Knowing me cone 2021 I'll buy ES6 day one and hate it as well
Astral Abortis 06.11.18	The settlement building in 4 wasn't perfect by any means, mainly bc they didnt even really plan to keep it in the game initially, but it was still a lot of fun despite its issues. Hopefully now that theyve had time to repurpose it for a new game, it'll be way better.
Astral Abortis 06.11.18	I mean people still created some wildly cool stuff with it in 4 (even without mods), so its clunky control and interface issues were definitely possible to work around.
guitarded_chuck 06.11.18	ohshi skyrim 2
TheSpaceMan 06.11.18	I love cyberpunk shit and they've been working on it for a while, hyped on it
brainmelter 06.11.18	New fromsoft game looks dope
Demon of the Fall 06.11.18	I’m really disappointed about the online only aspect of Fallout, I don’t even pay for an online subscription as it’s not my thing. I just want to explore the world by myself without unwanted interruption. Definitely concerned.
Clumseee 06.11.18	so many normie games
Frivolous 06.11.18	cyberpunk cyberpunk cyberpunk cyberpunk cyberpunk cyberpunk cyberpunk cyberpunk cyberpunk cyberpunk cyberpunk cyberpunk cyberpunk cyberpunk cyberpunk cyberpunk cyberpunk cyberpunk cyberpunk cyberpunk cyberpunk cyberpunk cyberpunk cyberpunk cyberpunk cyberpunk cyberpunk cyberpunk cyberpunk cyberpunk
smaugman 06.11.18	normie games xPPPPP i only play le unknown indie 2d pixel shit xPP
guitarded_chuck 06.11.18	NoRMIes LoLLOlOLl
guitarded_chuck 06.11.18	>clicks back on hentai tab
ramon. 06.11.18	I wonder what the most outlandish "[game] is the Dark Souls of [genre]" review/think-piece will come of games announced this E3. "Jump Force is the Dark Souls of anime cross over fighters" would crease my muffin to kingdom come, and I'm secretly praying to high heaven it'll happen.
foxblood 06.11.18	nothing good
Maco097 06.11.18	Is Bethesda still going to use his old outdated engine for The New Elder Scrolls and Fallout?
Maco097 06.11.18	And new Dragon Quest. Yay
BlackMalachite 06.11.18	Fallout 76 is probably going to be better than 4 but wont come close to New Vegas
kris. 06.11.18	thank you captain obvious
BlackMalachite 06.11.18	Bro, let me profess my sheer adoration of New Vegas whenever I can
kris. 06.11.18	"Is Bethesda still going to use his old outdated engine for The New Elder Scrolls and Fallout?" FO76, for sure. TES6? i don't think so. they've said in the past that, with what they want to do for TES6, the technology isn't there yet. we're still, imo, 3-4ish years away from release and i think they understand that a new engine is needed so that'll be part of the development. i could be wrong though and they'll just fucking update gamebryo again like they did for their creation engine.
Evenoss 06.11.18	I need some kind of different AAA RPGs. I mean, other than medieval fantasy, dystopia/post-apocalyptic or space-opera/cyberpunk.
Clumseee 06.11.18	roosted
Sinternet 06.11.18	beyond good and evil 2 lookin pretty PagChomp
JeetJeet 06.11.18	Wake me up when the Death Stranding gameplay comes out.
JeetJeet 06.11.18	If thats the case then fuck it kill me and revive me in 2023.
CugnoBrasso 06.11.18	The devil is fiiiiine
BlackMalachite 06.11.18	Here's hoping that Halo Infinite is open world
Astral Abortis 06.11.18	Here's hoping that Halo Infinite ISN'T open world. Why would anyone want that?
Dewinged 06.11.18	SONY conference hype! Who's watching?
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	I'll watch very soon, gotta wait til the plumber leaves
SteakByrnes 06.12.18	Here's hoping that Halo Infinite ISN'T open world. Why would anyone want that? [2]
teamster 06.12.18	Best actual game play trailer I seen so far is Metro Exodus ... and it’s not even close. Anthem is going to be a bust.
nol 06.12.18	ayyyyyye cuphead expansion love that game to death
SteakByrnes 06.12.18	D elicious L ast C ourse I see what they did there
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	Yeah Anthem isn't impressing me, unfortunately. Metro Exodus looks simply fantastic. Those games are brilliant at creating a believable world and keeping up immersion with the complete lack of hud and putting all info on in-world items. Will be a classic like the others.
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	Also Sekiro will be the Dark Souls of From Software games.
Underflow 06.12.18	"Also Sekiro will be the Dark Souls of From Software games. wut
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	It was a joke based on ramon's comment
Underflow 06.12.18	Metro and Sekiro look the most impressive to me
Dewinged 06.12.18	Love some Metro series. Just watched the AC Odyssey trailer and hot damn...
SteakByrnes 06.12.18	I'm so excited for Shadows Die Twice, I love the aesthetic of it. Plus the gameplay is bound to be great, given that I love the souls gameplay
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	I'm less excited than I thought I'd be for it, but will buy it regardless. It's a game I'll need to play in order to love.
SteakByrnes 06.12.18	Fair call. I'm also excited to see the Jump Force roster, even tho it's brought out Naruto vs Goku arguments again
SteakByrnes 06.12.18	Don't they always
Dewinged 06.12.18	Also excited about Cyberpunk, although I was expecting more nighty night and neon rain shit. I just hope it's not Watchdogs clone, god I hate that game.
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	I think it's funny that the new trailer was all day time. I was somewhat hoping that the entire game would take place at night, but I suppose it makes sense to show us now that Night City still has day time hahaha
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	I seriously doubt it'll be a Watchdogs clone though, CD Projekt Red seem to be pretty into the concepts of making real, deep gaming experiences with a good deal of contempt for industry bullshit.
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	Well considering they've only ever made Witcher games, I don't imagine that's a hard thing to do for them hahaha
JeetJeet 06.12.18	Last of Us 2 looks hard as bricks gahdamnnn
Dewinged 06.12.18	yeah that was amazing and brutal.
PistolPete 06.12.18	Fully expecting Metroid Prime 4 to become my “unofficial significant other” for at least two weeks after it drops. They say next year though.
brainmelter 06.12.18	shadows die twice being made with the help of activision has me a little worried
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	As I said earlier, I reckon it'll be fine. I don't think that with Miyazaki as President of the company that he'd go into a deal with Activision if it would shake or tamper with the vision of his games. That may just be wishful thinking on my part, but I have faith that if they're publishing with Activision, it's probably somewhat on their own terms and for the benefit of the game.
JeetJeet 06.12.18	Wow Sony just put everything else to shame.
Dewinged 06.12.18	It was a weirdly paced conference, but there was top notch content. Ghost of Tsushima and TLOU look amazing, no idea what Death Stranding is about yet, RE2 Remake looking good and Spidey rocking some cool gameplay. No FFVII remake though.
Underflow 06.12.18	Last of Us 2 is gonna be goat
Mentasm 06.12.18	Whoa Ghost of Tsushima looks fucking awesome
polyrhythm 06.12.18	@Dewi I think Cyberpunk will absolutely have that dark-rainy-neon aesthetic come the nighttime, as per the first trailer. This latest trailer just showcased the game has a very broad aesthetic palette and actual day/night cycles. Hyped for 2077, Last of Us 2 and Shadows Die Twice. Death Stranding will likely be amazing if the story ends up being coherent, at this stage it is difficult to tell. Everything so far has been rather cryptic as to what the actual plot/mythology will be.
polyrhythm 06.12.18	Using the grappling hook for combat and vertical level exploration in Shadows Die Twice is gonna be a goddamn blast
SteakByrnes 06.12.18	Agreed hard
JeetJeet 06.12.18	That Control game looked like a trip.
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	Watching Sony's now. Holy fuck that Last of Us 2 trailer/gameplay was fucking incredible. Ugh and just how perfectly they deliver the story between those cutscenes and gameplay is like god DAMN Naughty Dog know how to fucking WRITE. Already gettin me emotional and shit
rabidfish 06.12.18	bloodborne + attack on titan + spiderman i want it, don't you?
JeetJeet 06.12.18	Almost everything Sony put out had me like "Fuck. I wanna get blitzed and play that". Even made me give a shit about a Spiderman game. All the other conferences just bored me.
JeetJeet 06.12.18	Cyberpunk looks cool tho.
Frivolous 06.12.18	control looks incredibly interesting, about as hyped for that and death stranding ghost of tsushima looks neat as well, goddamn gorgeous (that fight in the leaves, goddamn)
Snake. 06.12.18	fallout 76 sounds like fart
JeetJeet 06.12.18	@Darius I don't even have a console lol I have no dog in this fight.
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	Ghost of Tsushima looks cool but the animations look kinda funky. Weird and stiff, kinda like it's PS2 animation or something.
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	aw FUCK that Resi Evil 2 reveal
brainmelter 06.12.18	ghost of Tsushima looks pretty nice, but yeah I hope it is smoothed out when it's released, last of us 2 looks amazing as expected, I like that Joel was referenced so the rumor of him being dead isn't true:]
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	Naughty Dog have great writers so I'm sure the Joel plot will be tied up nicely when the game's released. It's gonna be a tense story.
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	holy hot damn Death Stranding looks fantastic
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	also i'm equally passionate about both
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	Now Nioh 2? Man Sony really are the most impressive so far. Almost every single game so far is something I am intensely interested in.
SteakByrnes 06.12.18	I mean it's hard not to be passionate about e3
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	I like the spectacle of E3, it's nice watching all these companies trying so hard to make money. But most of all I just love games, and this E3 so far has a lot of very promising games coming. Sony and Nintendo are really dominating the console market this generation, but it looks like Microsoft is playing the long game by suddenly acquiring all these in-house studios to make exclusives for them--they're gonna come out swinging next gen with a boatload of brand new exclusives.
ramon. 06.12.18	The studio acquisition move by Microsoft was my highlight of their presentation. Fingers crossed they make things work.
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	I don't like the way they're headed with their plans to unify Windows and Xbox. The point of consoles to me is for unique devices that provide different experiences. All platforms for me should be doing something different. I realise my anti-Xbox view right there seems somewhat anti-consumer, but I like having all the different consoles, honestly. And I like exclusives and new fancy machines because I'm a consumer piece of shit. I got my PC for a lot of fancy RPGs, got my Playstation for my fancy AAA titles, got my Nintendo for my fancy indie games and platformers, and I got my Xbox for...cheapest 4k blu-ray?
polyrhythm 06.12.18	Last of Us 2 looks incredible. A few minutes was all I needed to be sucked right back into that world. Naughty Dog has my heart and imagination in the palm of their hand
brainmelter 06.12.18	well said^ yeah it looks great, but just seeing Ellie's eyes again reminded me of the endearment I felt playing the first game, cant really explain it but yeah
ramon. 06.12.18	I wasn't 100% sold on the original TLOU but I am hyped for the new one. I'm hoping Naughty Dog's work has a huge impact on the way games tell narratives going forward.
ramon. 06.12.18	Ghost of Tsushima igniting my wirefu fantasies like nothing else with that boss fight like hot damn; absolutely jaw-dropping visuals
brainmelter 06.12.18	yeah ghost low key visually looks better than shadows die twice, combat on Ghost looks great albeit a little less fluid than shadows
ramon. 06.12.18	Yeah, looks a little clunky. Hoping they manage to clean that up because the set pieces are astounding.
Demon of the Fall 06.12.18	Looks like I might actually play TLOU2 then, very much enjoyed the first one. Even if I've hardly played anything from this generation so far.
unclereich 06.12.18	Idk how they botched blops 4 THAT bad just make a carbon copy of blops 1 thats it
ramon. 06.12.18	Ironsight is the best CoD right now tbh
unclereich 06.12.18	Blops 1 is the best cod rn like 80k people on the server
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	Overwatch is the best CoD right now tbh
ramon. 06.12.18	Super Smash Bros. Switch is the best CoD right now tbh
Sinternet 06.12.18	overwatch is dead af lol no one even plays it anymore beyond good and evil 2 is the highlight of e3 hands down
ramon. 06.12.18	Was cool seeing Levitt showcase the Hitrecord support for the game. Can't believe we are on the verge of a new BGE.
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	"overwatch is dead af lol no one even plays it anymore" yeah aside from that constant like 30mil haha
Gyromania 06.12.18	It's actually 40 mill now. And I'm one of them.hard to quit when you're top 500. Most people mad 'cause bad
Sinternet 06.12.18	if it's not dead, it's dying - it's a case of blizzard doing blizzard things and not knowing how to keep a game alive - they gambled the future of their game on beiing a competitive esport and overwatch league is already losing interest big streamers and influencers have largely left the game for other games (fortnite/pubg etc.) high-ranked competitive is a complete fuckfest as soon as one character is buffed/nerfed, it causes three more characters to be broken these do not seem like problems that affect alive and well games
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	"if it's not dead, it's dying" how is it dying when numbers are climbing?
ramon. 06.12.18	why play overwatch when you can play Super Smash Bros. Melee for the Nintendo Gamecube dive into a world of Nintendo all-stars as you battle it out with family and friends on a host of arenas from your favourite games four player co-op action ensues you are in for a wild ride as you bomb blast and toryah your way to victory there are dozens of modes to choose from from target smash to event mode will you be the best there ever was its dangerous to go alone wa hoo Nintendo
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	cant wait for new smash
Gyromania 06.12.18	Yeah sinternet you're actually fucking dumb. Go look at the numbers. The complete opposite thing is happening, regardless of how much you personally like/dislike it
Gyromania 06.12.18	The question of whether or not it's balanced, how blizzard rewards and punishes players, the sorry state of solo-queueing, etc, is another matter entirely
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	New social changes coming soon are gonna really make it a lot more fun to play, too. Very excited for all the new stuff coming.
Gyromania 06.12.18	Damn snox, we're agreeing a lot lately. There seems to be an imbalance in the force
anarchistfish 06.12.18	ive been playing ow non stop for 2 years
anarchistfish 06.12.18	i never played the first beyond good and evil but this one looks like it's either gonna be the greatest game since mass effect or the buggiest mess this side of vietnam. but the world looks amazing and i need my sexy sci fi rpg fix every since bioware started shitting the bed under daddy EA
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	I believe the Death Stranding "gameplay" was more to show off the engine rather than the core gameplay.
Tundra 06.12.18	Am most hyped for Kingdom Hearts 3
Devastator 06.12.18	Just give me Doom Enternal and KH3
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	it's funny the the only people who are probably looking forward to KH3 now are probably nearing 30y/o how time affects us all amirite
Tundra 06.12.18	I'm 20 and beat KH2 when i was 10 lmao
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	i never played them because i was always too old for that garbage
DungeonBoy 06.12.18	I tried KH and it was definitely not for me. Not surprised it is still popular though, I just saw some 30 year old facebook friend have his honeymoon at Disney World
Sinternet 06.12.18	'i never played them because i was always too old for that garbage' im so shpeshal look at me guysh
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	yeah sin, pretty sure you're the only one with opinions like that in this thread
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	"that's not enough at this point. they're just trying to build hype based on the names associated with the title, which just doesn't cut it anymore. " totally does, was majorly impressive. They're building an engine and an incredibly ambitious game from the ground up, they need time, and i love Kojima's desire to hype shit majorly. He deserves it. This is his time when he has unlimited creative freedom and decision on something he truly WANTS to make. Let him have his time in the sun. Dude's worked decades to have an opportunity like this. He needs it.
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	"i for one don't believe in giving a glorified walking montage a pass just cause the director's name has some weight behind it" It was building story and atmosphere. Have a little respect for the gravitas! The build! The atmosphere! It was gorgeous to watch. "we've seen brilliant directors with flawless track records put out duds as recently as last year (lawbreakers anyone?)" Lawbreakers wasn't bad, it was just poorly promoted and came at a pretty bad time. It was a perfectly fun and enjoyable hero shooter. "but you may be right. now that he's free of the shackles of konami and his old IPs, he has the freedom to do what he envisions. let's hope he doesn't let the delays, promises and hype get out of hand." Even if it takes him ten more years I'm sure it'll be worth it. I want to see what he'll do with unrestrained directive freedom. It's gonna be fucking crazy. "they're not building an engine. this game will run on the FOX engine that metal gear 5 and the last few PES games ran on." Whoops, I re-checked this and we're both wrong. They're not using FOX engine because that belongs to Konami, but they're instead using Horizon Zero Dawn's Decima engine. I should have remembered that because I read a bunch of crap about it when they announced that.
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	Also of note: I've seen quite a few people so far complain that Death Stranding looks like it's only walking but like...the end of the walking montage showed Reedus pulling out a sweet fuck-off gun, as well as a unique technological ability deal which is showing us that there are gonna be unique mechanics to impact the environment around us. Obviously we don't know what these things do, but there was still WAY more than just walking. There were plenty of wacky gameplay ideas in effect in that showing.
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	MGS5 was the fault of Konami, not Kojima. Kojima never wanted to make MGS past 2 so I'm so hype he's finally doing a new IP. And I'm sure he's not concerned about "competition", because just knowing about his innovative and game-defining concepts in the past that fly in the face of all other game design, it's pretty clear he's more about trying new shit than pandering to trends and competition. Whether his experiments work or not, I'd rather him make 10 games with bad experiments than chug out a half-hearted effort to compete with trends.
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	"you shouldn't accept poor quality product in the name of "experimentation" or "innovation"" I absolutely would, and have. I don't like people to stand idle and go with what's safe. I want new shit, new ideas, and wild experiments constantly. It's far more engaging and invigorating to see such content. Kojima himself behind many well-done and less-than-well-done experiments over his career, and I appreciate the existence of all of them.
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	"i'm just cautiously optimistic, rather than blindly giddy and hype like most, is all" I'm an overly positive person so I tend to go for a greatly optimistic outlook on most things.
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	MGSV was a wonderful game, but it has so many issues, some of which are almost unforgivable.
ramon. 06.12.18	Live updating major shit for the Nintendo conference rn
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	Hope they have some big shit coming soon because so far this announcement is not diddling me

ramon. 06.12.18	dat expand dong expression tho 8==D
ramon. 06.12.18	daisy in the fucking house
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	metroid prime 4 won't be out til at LEAST next year, doubt we'll get more than a trailer if anything this year
ramon. 06.12.18	great plateau is a bomb ass looking stage
guitarded_chuck 06.12.18	my favorite part of nerdom is watching everyone make assertive speculative statements about release dates etc as if they know more than anyone else
guitarded_chuck 06.12.18	whens skyrim 2 out tho
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	"my favorite part of nerdom is watching everyone make assertive speculative statements about release dates etc as if they know more than anyone else" Well it's pretty easy to deduce certain things. Games typically take a development time of 2-5 years, and Metroid Prime was only just announced last year with a logo and no trailer or gameplay, alongside the announcement that the next Pokemon RPG had started development. Because the Pokemon RPG is slated to release next year, it's feasible that at the minimum time, Metroid 4 won't be out til then, but is probably more likely to be even longer considering Nintendo's history of delays. It's not rocket science.
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	that said, if they suddenly announce metroid prime 4 up next then i'll gladly swallow my words
ramon. 06.12.18	ridley what the fuck
ramon. 06.12.18	"Battlefield and Omega versions are an excellent touch. Like how in the hell will they top this for the next game?" man nintendo is setting themselves up for a hard fucking time
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	noooooice
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	oooooh it arrives just in time for my birthday. will be a nice little gift for myself.
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	oh looks like the direct is over. Damn it, while the Smash info was all fantastic, I was still hoping for a bit more.
ramon. 06.12.18	i hate that its 3am here otherwise id certainly stay up for the invitational
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	yeah guess maybe i should sleep soon
guitarded_chuck 06.12.18	"Well it's pretty easy to deduce certain things.

Astral Abortis 06.12.18	"whens skyrim 2 out tho" Todd Howard specified next-gen, and because Sony are saying their next console will be around 2020-2021, Skyrim 2 probs won't be out for another 2-3 years.
guitarded_chuck 06.12.18	whatd u expect nintendo peaked 20 years ago
guitarded_chuck 06.12.18	ye im sayin skyrim 2 2021 10 year anniversary for the og
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	"Smash was a home run but I can't think of anything else other than Hollow Knight that I might care about" Yeah essentially my exact same thoughts on it. I'm also interested in other games that were there, but they'd all been announced previously so like yeah bit of a letdown
ramon. 06.12.18	Could hardly say it was massively disappointing myself. The console had some of the best first year launch titles I've ever seen. The fact there's a new Smash and Fire Emblem in the second year, Nintendo Online and eshop indies withstanding, is kinda dope imo. Not sure what else to get one's hopes up for though I'm curious to know what you were expecting.
guitarded_chuck 06.12.18	"the phrase "skyrim 2" has me in fuckin stitches lmao" remember me when the meme is real
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	This year overall is a teensy bit disappointing after a great first year, but I'm holding out for year 3 to knock everything out of the park. I'm still hoping for another Zelda game in the style of BotW, like the Majora's Mask to BotW's Ocarina of Time, so to speak. Probs won't happen but I want it.
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	I like to think it's more of a 5% chance. I feel like they finally nailed the Zelda art style and direction, and would love to see them continue with it.
ramon. 06.12.18	I'd say E3 on the whole has been very strong this year, all things considered. Sony probably took the win for me as of this last showcase, but every showing thus far has been at the very least a good time.
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	"There's no way we'll see another Zelda with BOTW (and the DLC) still relatively 'new' (despite the Wii U version)." I'M A DREAMER, JOM
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	Also weird to see no mention of Bayonetta 3 after announcing it too
guitarded_chuck 06.12.18	i think nintendo kind of sucks now compared to peak nintendo but im calling the next zelda as one of unanimous goat games when it comes out, botw felt a little bare in terms of the world/story and everything to me but they have the new environment and engine set and can focus more on the details for the next one
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	On the contrary, BotW's open world was the most lush, rewarding, and entertaining open world I've ever explored in a video game.
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	But Nintendo peaked last year for me with BotW and Odyssey, so far the two of the best Nintendo games I've ever played.
guitarded_chuck 06.12.18	botws open world was 90% empty space
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	It wasn't, tho.
guitarded_chuck 06.12.18	it was objectively post punk , tho
guitarded_chuck 06.12.18	wHy DoESNt EveRYonE AgREe WiTH Me, tho
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	I don't know man, maybe because you're wrong a lot
guitarded_chuck 06.12.18	never change kid
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	I always change. Tomorrow I'll be a different person than I was today.
MO 06.12.18	anyone else think Death Stranding looks bizarre? even with a gameplay vid it looks like an interactive movie
nol 06.12.18	64>galaxy>odyssey really fun game nonetheless, just not too challenging
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	It does indeed look bizarre, but looks very sublime. As I said earlier in the thread, I believe the gameplay in the trailer was more to show off the look of the game, and to continue a narrative structure. It will far from be just walking around random landscapes as Norman Reedus. At the end he pulls out a big gun and also has that longer segment where he activates he foetus and does some kind of ability shit, so there will be a lot more depth to it. But also knowing Kojima, it will have hours and hours of cutscenes in between all the gameplay.
guitarded_chuck 06.12.18	"I always change. Tomorrow I'll be a different person than I was today." as of now your ego is way too inflated to make any meaningful progress as a human being im sorry to say keep hiding for the self by spending an exorbitant amount of time playing video games though
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	"64>galaxy>odyssey" I think you mean Sunshine, not Galaxy. But either way, Odyssey > all
Astral Abortis 06.12.18	"as of now your ego is way too inflated to make any meaningful progress as a human being im sorry to say" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdX5UDgQ8x0
guitarded_chuck 06.12.18	3
nol 06.12.18	oh yeah sunshine is better than galaxy and odyssey I forgot ab that game for some reason
ramon. 06.12.18	This is a Christian thread guys keep it G! Death Stranding looks like its gonna tear me a new one. Experimentation + triple A budget = cream pant. I will say I agree that I was slightly disappointed at no notable new IP from Nintendo, though that mech game at the start looks like it’ll be a blast in the gameplay department if the lack of current visuals and Nintendo being Nintendo are anything to go by.
guitarded_chuck 06.12.18	ramon you get your dick wet yet
ramon. 06.12.18	I typed no and received a hard “comment too short” which is hilarious
guitarded_chuck 06.12.18	lol
Meridiu5 06.12.18	super mario sunshine was pretty amazing too
Prancer 06.12.18	cyberpunk gave me something to look forward to in my life. been waiting to see anything about that game since the teaser dropped years ago.
DORBUSCUS 06.12.18	The Last Of Us Part 2!!!!
po0ty 06.12.18	Personal favs so far TLoUS 2, Cyberpunk, and The Adventures of Capt Spirit
Faraudo 06.13.18	"Also Dying Light is one of the worst games I've ever played" You haven't really played a lot of bad games, right?
Astral Abortis 06.13.18	No, because I try to avoid playing games I know I won't like. Dying Light is still really bad though.
Faraudo 06.13.18	Good thing that you haven't. Still, there's plenty of other games that come to my mind when I think of terrible games. I kinda like it, it's not a classic, but I think it's kinda fun.
Astral Abortis 06.13.18	I had to force my way through half of it because my girlfriend likes playing zombie games
guitarded_chuck 06.13.18	watched my buddy play dying light looked fun not something im super interested in though someone give this normie a tldr why cyberpunk is so hyped and why its justified
Astral Abortis 06.13.18	CDProjekt Red are a developer known for their respectful treatment of fans and consumer-friendly business practices. The Witcher games are known for the impactful storytelling and ability to make player decision and agency a priority, as well as rewarding extended gameplay and experience rather than exploiting it. Cyberpunk 2020 is a popular tabletop role playing game, and people love Blade Runner and shit. So good developer + cool cyber punk setting = sci-fi RPG worth getting excited about
guitarded_chuck 06.13.18	yeah word a cyperpunk game with a deep story could be hella interesting, looked aesthetic af too
Astral Abortis 06.13.18	Doesn't suck at all, first person views are completely fine
DungeonBoy 06.13.18	As long as Death Stranding isn't just a walking simulator, I'm very excited about that one. Loved MGS1-5, and really appreciate Kojima's abstract ideas Cyberpunk is looking pretty amazing at the moment too
Astral Abortis 06.13.18	"Speaking of which, tf they don't show something of elder scrolls in the next E3 I will be mad with bethesda" They probably won't, they've stated multiple times now that they want it to be next-gen, and that they don't even have the tech for it yet. It'll be a ways off.
anarchistfish 06.13.18	lol we're probably a decade away from a potential good new fallout game
anarchistfish 06.13.18	no one else think beyond good and evil 2 looks interesting?
Astral Abortis 06.13.18	"lol we're probably a decade away from a potential good new fallout game" What makes you say that? It's not time that's preventing Bethesda from making a good Fallout, it's their lack of understanding of how to make a good Fallout. As for Beyond Good and Evil 2, I never played the first, so the new one is of no interest to me. Glad people are finally getting it though.
guitarded_chuck 06.13.18	at least its official
DungeonBoy 06.13.18	If I had a Switch I'd be all over that. Patiently awaiting a PS4 release
Astral Abortis 06.13.18	I bought Hollow Knight on my PC like a year ago and still haven't played it so idk if I'll ever get to it
DungeonBoy 06.13.18	I've heard it can be super frustrating, which as prevented me from pulling the trigger on DD. If you're into Metroidvanias, check out Chasm coming out this year, it's gonna be great
Astral Abortis 06.13.18	Haven't played Darkest Dungeon yet but I've been meaning to for a long time. Just bought a game called Wizard of Legend on the Switch so I hope it doesn't suck.
ramon. 06.13.18	DD is ok for a bit but the end game is trash. Hollow Knight is stellar. Wizard of Legend is my favourite roguelike of recent times; potential for disgustingly OP build synergies is so damn high should you spend time screwing around with the mechanics.
Maco097 06.13.18	I'm waiting for The Last Of Us 2 even if they're pushing the gay agenda. Should be still a great game with a story.
DungeonBoy 06.13.18	Wizard of Legend is in my wishlist. Game looks really sweet.
Maco097 06.13.18	You can tell the lesbian part was forced, off putting and horrid. The crowd's reaction says it all lmao.
guitarded_chuck 06.13.18	crucify him guys lets see some top quality sput virtue signaling im bored
Gameofmetal 06.13.18	"I sampled Darkest Dungeon like 8 months ago and loved my limited time with it. It requires lots of patience though, you'll have to get used to its mechanics" the trick with DD for me is that it's too grindy, they made an alternate difficulty option that mostly speeds up the game but it's still a bit much. Generally love most aspects of the game, but I always get a little burned out and then have to start over.
guitarded_chuck 06.13.18	lol
guitarded_chuck 06.13.18	e a s i l y t r i g g e r e d
guitarded_chuck 06.13.18	sry dont mind me continue
Maco097 06.13.18	Sony used the character's background to gain more LGBT supporters, a wise decision considering the rotten world we are living in. What better way to "show their support" than a forced scene? boy-girl kiss scene would have also been lame and forced. But that's not what happened. I still don’t see his reasoning and it just leaves me to interpret his issues with women and/or insecure masculinity Lol yeah I beat women while listening to Anal Cunt and Carnivore.
Maco097 06.13.18	I'll stop it here since I'm in sputnik the pro-LGBT forum fighting for a better world. I still want to play the game.
Devastator 06.13.18	"I still want to play the game." But if you play the game won't you be supporting that damned gay "agenda" you mentioned earlier?
Maco097 06.13.18	I can live with the guilt, at the end of the day the first game was awesome for what it was.
anarchistfish 06.13.18	"What makes you say that? It's not time that's preventing Bethesda from making a good Fallout, it's their lack of understanding of how to make a good Fallout." yh we're fucked
anarchistfish 06.13.18	i didnt even play the first beyond good and evil but this 2nd one just looks gorgeous
Chambered79 06.13.18	Only thing that matters is cyberpunk 2077. Also I too think 76 will be pretty mediocre
ramon. 06.14.18	I feel like 76 will be just like every other Bethesda mainline game; something for me to shittalk while I contradict myself by pouring hundreds of hours into it
Dewinged 06.14.18	I am just tired of Fallout, gimme Elder Scrolls VI already Beth.
polyrhythm 06.14.18	two girls kissing = evidence of the gay agenda to destroy western civilisation, 10/10 lobsters
Astral Abortis 06.14.18	Like all Bethesda games there will be countless issues but it will somehow still have a spark of magic that keeps you playing forever. I've stopped trying to fight it. @Dar: i do hate roguelikes but the game never said it was a roguelike when I was looking at its description, and also well theres always a chance a game could change my mind. @thegayagenda: Ellie's kiss scene isn't there to push an agenda, nor would it be the same with a man kissing her. The scene is quite wonderful in the way it both helps derail the concepts of masculinity dominating the post-apocalyptic world, as well as putting in that cutting, humanising moment that shows a spark of innocence or even hope. Ellie's kiss is not only rebellious against the world, or the men at the party who should fear her, it's rebellious against her upbringing in the world and the time she spent with Joel. It's a moment of rare vulnerabilty she lets happen. It's powerful storytelling, and masterfully told.
Dewinged 06.14.18	Amen
Zig 06.14.18	Hope Nintendo releases the N64 Classic Mini this year.
Meridiu5 06.14.18	lets be honest all game makers are leftists
Astral Abortis 06.14.18	Hahahahahaha
guitarded_chuck 06.14.18	how can you know whether its part of an agenda or not if you arent part of the developer crew irrational take just saying, my opinion on whether it is or isnt need not apply
guitarded_chuck 06.14.18	A M E N
Underflow 06.14.18	people who think having gay and lesbian characters in games is pushing an agenda are dumb
Chambered79 06.15.18	Just popping in to say cyberpunk 2077 is gona be the goat
Astral Abortis 06.15.18	I just hope the next Elder Scrolls isn't a massive turd like Skyrim was, because for me I will have been waiting up to 14 years for a good new Elder Scrolls.
guitarded_chuck 06.15.18	rough
Astral Abortis 06.15.18	I know, I just want side quests on par with Oblivion's, is that too much to ask?!
guitarded_chuck 06.15.18	skyrim 2 on switch kappa
anarchistfish 06.15.18	"Like all Bethesda games there will be countless issues but it will somehow still have a spark of magic that keeps you playing forever. I've stopped trying to fight it." fallout 4 was boring though
Astral Abortis 06.15.18	" fallout 4 was boring though" yet I've still spent dozens of hours settlement building in it as well as modding weapons for dozens more
anarchistfish 06.15.18	man settlement building was really the nail in the coffin for me. i wanna explore this wasteland not play sims in it
Astral Abortis 06.15.18	The combat in Fallout 4 was the best combat in a Bethesda game, ever
Gameofmetal 06.15.18	I feel like after a certain point like every enemy in fallout 4 is way too durable, it's not that they'r ehard it's just that I have to plug them with every bullet I have. Not sure if I did something wrong in my perk/item choices or what. Don't think I'm particularly undergeared Also a kinda interesting thought that despite Skyrim being pretty happily regarded by a lot of fans compared to Fallout 4, it has basically all the same problems.
Astral Abortis 06.15.18	Fallout 4 did enough to steer the direction away from being an RPG that the same problems it had as Skyrim weren't as bad, because the game supplied new things to do that made up for the lacking qualities. Skyrim was the sad middle ground. It had bad quests, bad exploration, a dull world, dull cities, just dull dull dull. Fallout 4 was funner to forget all the quests and just build your own settlements, had much more fun combat because they basically got a whole other studio to rework their gun mechanics, and made it more rewarding to explore + collect junk + build + explore more for better junk + repeat + build better towns, systems, etc. It at least had an end game for its repetitive systems, something to build towards--your own, better wasteland. In Skyrim it's like...you're only collecting weapons and gear in order to collect weapons and gear. You weren't using all that stuff to build anything but a better combat build so it felt sad and boring.
Astral Abortis 06.15.18	Then you have Oblivion, where the entire functional purpose to play the game was to see all the ways in which you can do the wacky, super memorable quests. Every new city was a treat to enter because there were heaps of interesting quests, none of this radiant "go kill the bandits" bullshit. Like actual fun quests. And Morrowind had the unique world and deep lore and politics, etc. Point is Skyrim sucks, and maybe has less than 15 notable or worthwhile quests.
guitarded_chuck 06.15.18	big if true
anarchistfish 06.15.18	dark brotherhood was pretty memorable
Astral Abortis 06.16.18	Oblivion is probably the most broken game ever made. It's almost unbelievable how genuinely poorly made it is in most aspects. But the quests are just so good that it makes up for it. Skyrim's open world just does nothing for me. Breath of the Wild still has my favourite open world ever made
ramon. 06.16.18	Agree hard Xeno, absurdly detailed and immersive world. Incredibly lively. Kinda puts most open world games to shame in that sense. That being said, most memorable moments, following your line of thought, were more ones I carved out for myself than any in-game quests.
